[US Entertainment] 1994

6月的第4个周末,《生死时速》上映两周后，电影的票房已经由上周末的5400万美元跃升至6900万美元,每一周的票房都在3000万美元以上。

This week, the $4500 million animated masterpiece "The Lion King" was released on a large scale in 2552 theaters across the United States. In just three days of the weekend, "The Lion King" shocked the entire Hollywood film market with a weekend box office of $4088 million.

With a weekend box office of 4088 million, among all the films that have been released this year, "The Lion King" firmly occupies the first position with an absolute advantage, whether it is the 2968 million US dollars of "The Flintstones" or the 1945 US dollars of "Speed" Ten thousand dollars is hard to compare with "The Lion King".

最令人震撼的还是《狮子王》1万6022美元单馆票房的出色战绩，在好莱坞的历史上,恐怕都很少有电影能取得如此辉煌的成绩——上周《狮子王》在两家影院小规模试映，单馆票房竟然达到了恐怖的79万3377美元,比目前的单馆票房纪录《阿拉丁》的9万8332美元足足超出70万美元,后者同样在两家影院小规模试映。

There is no doubt that this week's North American box office champion is naturally "The Lion King".

The movie "The Righteous Sea" starring Kevin Costner and Dennis Quaid, which was released at the same time as "The Lion King", tells the life of the legendary sheriff Wyatt Earp in the western United States. Turner is best at western themes.

It is worth mentioning that Wyatt Earp, the sheriff, did not do much in reality, but he became popular because of a novel by Stuart Lake. So far, Wyatt Earp is the protagonist The protagonist has been in more than 20 films, the most famous of which is John Ford's "Tenderness", and Kevin Costner established himself in the western film with "Dances with Wolves". Whether it can surpass "The Tenderness of Chivalry" is still unknown.

This week, before the North American box office results came out, it attracted a lot of media speculation.

No one doubts that the No. [-] film will be "The Lion King", but various media have different opinions on the No. [-] and No. [-] films.

"Variety Show" magazine believes that "Yihai Qingqing" has more hope of ranking second, because it is a new film starring Kevin Costner, Dennis Quaid has always been a golden green leaf in Hollywood, and Gene · Hackman last year won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.However, "Variety Show" also agrees that the biggest competitor of "Yi Hai Qing Qing" this week is "Speed". It was even the box office champion of the year.

"Entertainment Weekly" is more optimistic about "Speed", this magazine believes that "Speed" has been the weekly box office champion in the past two weeks, with box office results of more than 1500 million US dollars, and the drop rate is extremely low. This action movie is well-known to more and more audiences. If one or two weeks is the rising period of the movie and there are still many audiences watching it, then this week, the word-of-mouth fermenting of the movie will definitely attract more audiences. Go to the cinema and enjoy this outstanding action movie.

However, after three days of intense competition over the weekend, the data on the North American weekly box office list left countless people dumbfounded.

No.1, "The Lion King", with a box office of 4088 million US dollars.

No.2, "The Speed ​​of Life and Death", $1876 million.

No.3, "Wolf", $1210 million.

No.4, "Yihai Love", 754 million US dollars.

No.5, "The Flintstones," $610 million...

"The Lion King" showed an overwhelming advantage. Driven by this blockbuster animation, the total revenue of the North American box office this weekend also exceeded 1 million U.S. dollars, which was a full 3300 million U.S. dollars higher than last week. The highest-grossing week in the broader market.

"alert!The lion is coming! "

"The Lion King is a strong crush, breaking the record with 4088 million US dollars"

"The hottest week of the summer vacation, the Lion King leads the way, and the weekly box office of three films exceeds [-] million"

"The speed of life and death creates another miracle, showing an upward trend this week"

……

The results of "The Lion King" are amazing, but the box office results of "Speed", which was released for three weeks, are even more shocking.

Three weeks after its release, the weekend box office of "Speed" unexpectedly showed an upward trend, which was a full US$70 more than the three days last weekend, becoming one of the few films on the box office list that showed growth. Under the crushing situation of everything, "Speed" put on a tenacious stance, caught up head-on, and kicked its total box office into the 8800 million US dollar mark.

"Wolf" starring Jack Nicholson fell one place this week and entered the third place, but the box office of more than 1200 million US dollars did not drop much compared to last week's score of more than 1700 million, which also made the film's total box office Successfully reached more than 3700 million US dollars.

"Yi Hai Qing Qing" starring Kevin Costner is undoubtedly regrettable. The box office of 754 million US dollars in the first week of release compared with the film's cost of 6300 million US dollars is undoubtedly extremely bad. Warner Bros.'s failed investment this summer was born—— Probably because of the poor opening results and too much cost, "Yi Hai Qing Qing" only stayed tenaciously in theaters for 4 weeks before disappearing completely.

Compared with the regret of Warner Bros., [-]th Century Fox is completely happy.

The cumulative box office of "Speed" has reached 8800 million U.S. dollars, and it is only a matter of time before it breaks 3000 million. More importantly, the total cost of "Speed" is only 2500 million U.S. dollars, and Fox's investment is even only 1 million U.S. dollars.The most important movie for 1500th Century Fox this summer is actually "True Lies" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, but "True Lies" has an investment of [-] million US dollars, and Arnold's salary alone is worth The total cost of accessing Speed.

No one doesn't like low cost and high return, especially film companies. In fact, with the widespread use of televisions, the space for movies is infinitely compressed, and there are not many audiences who are really willing to go to movie theaters.To some extent, the vast majority of Hollywood movies cannot recover their full cost at the box office, especially for movies with a cost exceeding [-] million yuan. The investment of film companies in publicity sometimes reaches astonishing figures. At that time, they have to rely on Selling rights and DVDs to maintain profits.

The most valuable wealth of the eight major film companies has never been the amazing box office created by a certain film, but the film library they own, which other small and medium-sized film companies do not have. TV stations want to play back a certain movie, and DVD production companies want to release a certain movie. Recorded into CDs and sold, the film company will get a commission for each replay of these movies and each DVD sold.

The "Godfather" franchise remains one of the highest-grossing films in Paramount's library to date.

Therefore, in a sense, the box office performance of a film is just icing on the cake, and the follow-up income, especially those that do not need to invest in publicity, advertising fees, or share with theaters, is the bulk of a film company's income.

Judging from the fluctuating box office trend of "Speed", the film's box office revenue will surely exceed 7 million US dollars in early July. All the costs invested by 1th Century Fox have been fully recovered. Every time the audience buys an extra ticket, Fox will get more money. After getting some money, after the film is actually released, the subsequent DVD share, the cost of the TV station's purchase of copyright...

It is conceivable how huge the benefits this movie will bring to [-]th Century Fox.

As the protagonist, Josh is naturally very happy, especially when he sees "Schindler's List" which is still in the top 28 with a box office score of 50 US dollars after [-] weeks of release.

In the 28 weeks since its release, the total box office of "Schindler's List" has reached 1 million U.S. dollars, ranking fourth on the North American box office list in 5999, just ahead of Tom Cruise's U.S. $13 million. "Sugar Coated Trap" is pressed below.

Josh thought to himself, if Tom Cruise saw such a result, would his face turn green with anger?

Based on his knowledge of Cruise, such a thing may not happen.

Josh really has no regrets. The box office of "Speed" has greatly exceeded his expectations, becoming one of the most competitive movies in this summer's file.

Although it cannot be compared with "The Lion King", "Speed" has broken the box office record of previous films starring Josh and has become Josh's most successful film since he started filming.

In the fourth week of its release, "Speed" ranked second with a box office of 1572 million US dollars, surpassing "Phantom Man" and "Zero Blast", with a total box office score of more than 1 million US dollars.

In its fifth week of release, the weekend box office was 1212 million US dollars, ranking third, second only to "Forrest Gump" and "The Lion King", with a total box office of 1 million US dollars.

In the sixth week of its release, the weekend box office was 1082 million US dollars, ranking fourth. "True Lies" ranked first at the box office this week, and the total score of "Speed" officially exceeded 1 million US dollars this week.

………………

After staying on the box office list for several months, "Speed" was released. By this time, the film's box office had accumulated to more than 1 million US dollars, second only to "The Lion King" and "Forrest Gump". "Biography", the latter's box office continued to pick up in February 9000, and the box office exceeded 15 million US dollars for several consecutive weeks, before gradually widening the distance from "Speed".

But at that time, "Speed" had surpassed "True Lies" and became the third-ranked film on the North American box office chart in 1994, and it also became the highest-grossing and highest-margin film of [-]th Century Fox that year.

The first movie starring Josh shocked the whole Hollywood with amazing results.

On the day the movie broke 1 million, the "Hollywood Reporter" released a character report with Josh on the cover.

The title of the report was "Future Superstar". On the cover, Josh's smile was full of vigor in the sun. No one could tell that in March of this year, he took away the Oscar statuette under the siege of many opponents. An amazing box office movie was made in the summer file.

"Before him, those who could do all this were superstars."

The Hollywood Reporter concluded.

The author has something to say: On the last day of 2017, I would like to thank all readers for their company.

I'm glad I updated today, and I can bless you all.

Thank you for your support and encouragement, thank you for your overlord ticket and nutrient solution, because I am too lazy to thank you all the time, but I know how much you support me.

Love you guys, and that concludes the box office section on Speed.
