…………

The media have used words such as shock, amazement, and explosive to describe the excellent box office of "Independence Day". It seems that apart from these words, there is nothing else that can modify the impressive box office figures of "Independence Day".In fact, because of the joining of Josh and Will Smith, the media showed an optimistic attitude towards the box office expectations of "Independence Day" at the beginning, but they did not expect that this sci-fi movie would contribute so much. High box office.

At the beginning, no one could have expected this, and some media even scoffed at Josh's behavior of taking over "Independence Day", criticizing him for making a stupid choice, and a little carelessness may destroy his own. career.

But now, those questioning words have disappeared without a trace.

The box office of "Independence Day" has exceeded 2 million in two weeks after its release. Even a fool knows that it is only a matter of time before the box office reaches 3 million US dollars.

After the first week's box office exceeded 1 million, the number of theaters showing "Independence Day" in the United States has increased to more than 2900 in the second week. Compared with the second week, but within this month, the box office of "Independence Day" exceeded 3 million U.S. dollars.

Most importantly, based on the box office trend of "Independence Day", the film will inevitably stay in major theaters in North America for several months, or even have long-term screenings. If 20th Century Fox is more ambitious, it is not impossible to break through 4 million.

At present, there are only a handful of films on the North American film list that exceed 4 million.

1977年乔治·卢卡斯导演的《星球大战》以4亿6099万美元的票房成绩高居榜首，紧随其后的是史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格导演的《外星人E.T》，国内票房4亿3511万美元。

Followed by "Jurassic Park" and "The Lion King", the final box office of the two films exceeded 4 million.

Then there is "Forrest Gump", which broke the box office record of North American narrative films with a box office of more than 3 million US dollars. After all, among the top few films on the list, "Forrest Gump" is the least Some do not rely on advanced special effects but purely rely on the plot to attract the audience.

"Star Wars: The Jedi Strikes Back" also followed behind "Forrest Gump" with a box office score of over 3 million. Firmly occupying the top ten positions in the United States.

Of course, in comparison, the first part of "Star Wars" is of course better. It has been released for 19 years, but so far no movie can break the box office record it holds.

To some extent, some media believe that the record of "Star Wars" cannot be broken at all, just like "Titanic" turned out after 1997, knocking down Star Wars with a box office of 6 million US dollars There are also many people who believe that the record of "Titanic" can never be broken.

After the cumulative box office of "Independence Day" exceeded 2 million in two weeks, some media fantasized about whether "Independence Day" could break the box office record set by "Star Wars", but this argument died down after only a few days.After all, the quality of "Independence Day" is much worse than that of "Star Wars", and there is still a group of die-hard Star Wars fans in North America, who are the most loyal audiences of the Star Wars series.

It is worth mentioning that the next movie after "Star Wars: Jedi Strikes Back" will be Josh's "Speed".

It was only at this time that the media conducting the inventory work was surprised to find that the movie starring Josh had already occupied a place in the top ten box office of film history before they knew it.

Currently "Speed" is ranked seventh, although the ranking is not high, but such a box office result, no matter which young actor it appears on, is worthy of his agency and agent.

More importantly, Josh also has an "Independence Day". If "Independence Day" in July can break through 7 million at the box office, it is not fantastic to occupy a place in the top five box office in film history. Based on this calculation, Josh It will be able to occupy two seats in the top ten movies at the box office in film history.

Only "Speed" and "Independence Day" can bring him nearly 6 million US dollars at the box office, and he also has more than 1 million US dollars "Shawshank Redemption" and "Schindler's List", and the box office is also excellent "Scent of a Woman".

There is also a cost of 300 million U.S. dollars, but "Uninhibited Sky", which has earned tens of millions of box office, and even "The Usual Suspects", a film that has been criticized for its scandal, are also sold in the disc market.

In addition, Josh is also the winner of two Oscars, the youngest Golden Globe Award winner, the Venice Best Actor...

"Poor young actors, don't think of Josh Walter as your competitor, or you will be so ashamed and angry that you want to commit suicide." A gossip media said in a sympathetic and sour tone, "Of course, you still have opportunities to compete. His place, like your girlfriends enough to line up and play football."

Regardless of the evaluation of the outside world, the pace of progress of "Independence Day" has never stopped.

On the weekend of the third week of its release, the film swept a box office of 2972 million US dollars in 3579 ​​theaters across the United States, ranking first in the week.Including the data of the 4 days in the middle of the week, the total box office of the movie has reached 2 million US dollars.

3 million is just around the corner.

There are also new films released this week, but compared with the position of new films on the box office list in the previous weeks, the box office results of several films released this week are all bad.

Peter Jackson's new film "The Scary Ghost", which has not yet created the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, was released in 1669 theaters, with a box office of only 556 million US dollars in the first week. About 2000 million US dollars, the situation can be described as tragic.

No. 2 on this week's box office list is "The Third Kind of Miracle", with a box office of 812 million U.S. dollars in the three days of the weekend, and the cumulative box office has reached more than 6100 million U.S. dollars.

No.3 is the film released last week, starring Denzel Washington and Meg Ryan, the box office of 802 million US dollars in the three days of the weekend, with a cumulative box office of more than 2600 million US dollars.

There is no doubt that no matter what the film's final box office performance is, loss is its only way out.After all, the cumulative box office in the two weeks since its release was only more than 2600 million, and it is unknown whether the total box office can exceed 5000 million US dollars.Denzel Washington and Meg Ryan are not cheap.

"Josh Walter becomes the youngest box office superstar, what is his next choice?" "

"Only short of the Oscar winner, how far is Josh Walter from the statuette?" "

"It's only July, and at the start of the year, Josh Walter was downplayed by Brad Pitt's veiled sarcasm for missing out on the Golden Globes. After a little over two months, he's knocked out Pitt and taken the The fact that Pete has an Oscar statuette on his mind is ample proof that Walter's career is not in decline."

"However, many people think that the success of a star's career is not directly related to his winning the Oscar. After all, in the history of Oscars, there are many actors who hold the statuette but have no outstanding works, and Josh won the male supporting role again. People, in many people's eyes, it's just that his acting skills have been recognized, and his career is obviously still in decline."

"It's less than 4 months before the end of the Oscars ceremony, but Walter has made his debut with "Independence Day". If a movie whose box office is about to exceed 3 million and may reach 4 million does not mean success, then It can be said that the whole of Hollywood is too hard on Walter."

"If he doesn't represent success, no one else can represent success."

In addition, the news that Josh almost took over "Mr. Sweetheart" but unfortunately missed it, and had to choose to star in "Independence Day" was also widely publicized.

No one knows where the word got out, but you know, this is Hollywood, and there are no airtight walls.The most powerful paparazzi have the reconnaissance capabilities comparable to the agents of the CIA. In order to obtain information, they will do all kinds of evil, and there is no gap that they will not avoid.

As we all know, "Mr. Sweetheart" is Tom Cruise's new work that has not yet been released.

Tom Cruise and Josh Walter!

The appearance of these two names made countless paparazzi shine!

Just like Josh and the "National Enquirer" are deadly rivals, and the "National Enquirer" can't sleep without scolding Josh every day, and Josh is also desperately stepping on the "National Enquirer", Josh and Tom · Cruise's origins can be traced back to when Josh signed Alexander-Arnold.

At that time, the weaker side was of course Josh, and Tom was a box office superstar, the idol of thousands of girls in the United States, and all the movies he starred in were sold well and made great achievements.

But now-

There has been a degree of inversion, if not a complete reversal.

Josh already has two Oscar statuettes in his hands, and he can be nominated for a heavyweight Oscar in almost every year.

This alone is not enough to make Tom afraid. After all, although Tom has not won a statuette so far, his status as a Hollywood superstar has not changed in any way.

But after the big sales of "Independence Day", "Speed" and "Shawshank Redemption", Josh's appeal in the box office market has surpassed that of Tom. After all, Tom's box office performance is only stable at around 1 million. Josh's movies can be close to 3 million or even exceed 3 million.

Hollywood is an extremely cruel place, and in the eyes of film companies that want to make a lot of money, Josh is already the object of their pursuit.

His pay is not as high as Tom, but his rate of return is far more than Tom.Even if Josh's salary exceeds Tom's, he can earn twice as much dollars for the film company as Tom. For the film company, he is undoubtedly the most economical choice.
