On the day of the premieres of "Truman's World" and "Super Perfect Murder", the confrontation between the two works released on the same day was a hot topic, and Gwyneth Paltrow's dissatisfaction and rejection of Hugo during the interview became the focus of heated discussions among journalists.

As the world's No. 1 man today, although Hugo has not been able to re-elect the world's most sexual of the year in People magazine in the past two years. Feeling men, but whether it was Brad Pitt the year before or George Clooney last year, the gap with Hugo is very obvious.

It is worth mentioning that although George Clooney suffered consecutive box office fiascos of "Batman and Robin" and "Peacemaker", he still successfully defeated Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio and Hugo, and managed to become the Person of the Year of People magazine. This has also become a moment of anecdote: can George really replace Brad and compete with Hugo?

Due to Hugo's strong influence, Hugo's emotional dynamics have always been the focus of attention, and Gwyneth's rather critical attitude towards Hugo makes people can't help but think: What happened between Gwyneth and Hugo? Could it be that Hugo hurt Gwyneth? Or did Hugo reject Gwyneth? Or is it Hugo's attitude that angers Gwyneth? What does the "chemistry" between these two people have to do with the breakup of Gwyneth and Brad, the golden boy and girl, and what does it have to do with the breakup of Hugo and Cameron?

After the premiere on June 1, the paparazzi began to focus on digging the story behind this speculation, and for a while countless hypothetical ideas flew all over the sky, making this summer file even more lively.

The truth between Gwyneth and Hugo is not known yet, but there is no doubt that Gwyneth and Hugo are not friends, which adds a whole new dimension to the confrontation between "Super Perfect Murder" and "Truman's World".

After the premiere ended, the vastly different reviews and word-of-mouth of the two films did not directly affect people's expectations at the premiere box office. Because there is such a paradox in summer commercial blockbusters: movies with bad reputations can also hit the box office at the first time, such as "Batman and Robin", although the reviews are terrible, but still have a $40 million performance in the opening weekend - the box office decline since then is naturally earth-shattering. This is mainly because the premiere box office mainly looks at the appeal of the cast, as well as the attractiveness of the studio's early promotion.

In the four days between the first and fifth days, the "Super Perfect Murder" propaganda was overwhelming, and the two leading actors, Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow, participated in more than 20 promotional trips from east to central to west, from south to north to Canada, and it can almost be said that there is no time to sleep, and can only rest on the way to the road.

In comparison, the promotion of "Truman's World" is obviously much weaker, Hugo joined Nicole Kidman and Alexander Lorraine only attended a few important promotional programs, first completed the recording of "The Tonight Show", then participated in three radio programs, and then arrived in New York on Friday to attend the live broadcast of "Today", and held a fan meeting in the square where the live broadcast was held. That's all.

Although the "Truman's World" crew brought together more than 3,000 people at the live broadcast "today", which almost made half of Manhattan Island boil and make a huge noise, the "Super Perfect Murder" did not show weakness in the publicity position, and the performance was extremely strong, completely suppressing the competitors in the same schedule. This makes this weekend's premiere box office even more suspenseful.

On Friday, June 5th, all the audiences flocked to the cinema feverishly to enjoy the ease and wonder of the weekend, drawing everyone's eyes to the box office battle of the weekend. From the violent collision on Friday, to the smoke on Saturday, and then to the last fight on Sunday, the North American film market showed the frenzy of the summer file, surpassing the previous May in one fell swoop, and unveiling the curtain of this year's summer file in a real sense!

On June 8, the North American weekend movie box office list was released!

"Truman's World" was only released in 2,500 theaters, and it can be seen that Paramount is still relatively conservative about the prospects of this comedy drama, and does not plan the premiere scale according to the level of 3,000 theaters of commercial blockbusters. But it turned out that Paramount still underestimated Hugo's strong appeal today - even the first time to challenge comedy movies has not been able to stop audiences from going crazy into the cinema.

The single-theater box office of $18,000 has almost reached the first-level level of commercial films, surpassing last year's "Man in Black", and also surpassing the previous "Heaven and Earth Collision" and "Godzilla" before this year, becoming one of the most outstanding large-scale public releases in the summer in the past two years.

The stellar single-theater box office brought "Truman's World" to $45 million in its opening weekend, making it the best-grossing film of the year so far. This is really something that everyone didn't expect, because disaster blockbusters such as "Heaven and Earth Collide" and "Godzilla" have already been in the forefront, and the appeal of these commercial blockbusters is obviously more than that of comedy movies. But as a result, "Truman's World" achieved the best premiere of the year!

Before the release of "Truman's World", people had predicted the premiere results of this film, and most people were unanimously optimistic that this work could achieve 30 million premieres, surpassing "Strange Heroes in Disguise", "My Fair Daddy", "Fat Professor" and other works, creating a new premiere of comedy films, but even so, people still underestimated the results of "Truman's World" - or more accurately, underestimated Hugo's influence on the entire North American market at present.

From drama films to romance movies, from action movies to commercial films, from thriller movies to art films, and now to comedy movies, Hugo's ability to control movies of different themes has been fully reflected, leaving aside the horror movies that have not yet been filmed, Hugo's ability in different types of works is enough to make him a palace actor. Meryl Streep, Robert De Niro, Katharine Hepburn, these outstanding actors, like this, are amazed.

What's more, different types of works have not only won praise from critics, nor only won recognition for certain awards, but also achieved excellent results at the box office, which is precisely one of the most important links in the entire film industry: even for art films, it is the box office performance that can further expand the influence of the work.

As today's top box office superstar, Hugo once again changed the course of comedy film history with the momentum of King's Landing - starting from "Truman's World", the box office of comedy movies premiered and opened the era of 40 million, which also means that comedy movies are not only small and broad, but even have the ability to go hand in hand with other types of movies and become a new force in the summer season - after all, comedy movies can be said to be one of the best choices for family fun, and the box office potential is far from being 100% tapped.

But now, "Truman's World" shows that potential!

The $45 million opening weekend data not only completely exploded the $25 million premiere of "Fat Professor", but also directly raised the box office record of comedy movies from 20 million to 40 million, which is almost twice the previous record, and is even comparable to the box office performance of "Men in Black" last summer's $51 million, which made the entire North American market exclaim.

Marveling at the exuberant vitality of comedy films, exclaiming Hugo's strong appeal, and exclaiming another miracle in the film market.

Although people have long been accustomed to Hugo's momentum, and almost every film release is accompanied by the birth of countless historical records, this time the record of comedy movies still makes countless professionals dumbfounded - just like the controversy caused by the "supernatural sixth sense" before the release of the movie, the reason why genre movies are "genres" is because each genre film is a model formed after years of precipitation in the market - this is not a conclusion that some experts have gathered to discuss, It's up to the market as a whole to make its own choice. Therefore, it has never been easy to break the shackles of genre movies.

Now, "Truman's World" has almost completely changed the influence of comedy films in the market, so that the first release box office of comedy films has also risen to the average of other commercial films, so that the achievement is almost comparable to the "Independence Day" of the previous year.

Especially under the premise that "Independence Day" and "Titanic" have officially opened the blockbuster era, the outstanding performance of "Truman's World" once again continues the excellent performance of "Los Angeles Confidential" and "Perfect", and as a black comedy with strong irony, "Truman's World" originally pointed the finger at the corrupt insider who entertained to death, and now it has received such strong support from the audience, which makes Hollywood conservatives rejoice again:

Even though the Oscar has sent the "Titanic" to the throne, there are still variables in the change of history!

At this time, people remembered that "Los Angeles Confidential" and "Perfect" each won three small gold statuettes, and all of them were important awards in the main department, and they did not fall behind in the confrontation with the "Titanic". Now, "Truman's World" has once again continued this pattern, and no one can accurately predict the future development of the film market.

In the face of the premiere box office results of "Truman's World", which changed the entire film history record and the entire market pattern, "Super Perfect Murder" is bleak.
