Chapter 2155: Expansion footsteps

After the announcement of the nomination list for the Golden Globe Awards, Julianne Moore’s double nomination is undoubtedly the biggest attraction. On the other hand, Hugo also won double nomination by relying on "Beautiful Mind"-Best Actor in Drama and Best Screenplay His two nominations have once again become the shining figures at the Golden Globe Awards.

"Beautiful Mind" replaced "Shocking Inside Story" and "Genius Ripley" as the No. 1 seed of the awards season. The rising momentum caught everyone off guard, and the "Spiritual Sixth Sense" was almost completely ignored-just Only two nominations for Best Supporting Actor and Best Screenplay were won, which also made the second year of the awards season present a chaotic situation.

"Beauty Mind", which won seven nominations, immediately became the biggest hit in the last two weeks of the year. In the fourth week of December, "Beauty Mind" was initially expanded in 500 theaters, plus this week. "Genius Ripley", who held a strong grand screening, suddenly became very lively this Christmas.

The grand premiere of "Genius Ripley" two weeks ago has sparked countless discussions. It will also be released in 2,300 theaters this weekend. It is widely regarded as a strong contender for the weekend box office rankings. .

The competitiveness of all works this week is relatively weak, except for "Genius Ripley", "Man on the Moon", "Challenge Sunday (Any...Sunday, "Galaxy.Quest" "All of them will be screened in more than two thousand theaters. The "Challenge Sunday" that brings together Oliver Stone, Al Pacino, and Cameron Diaz is believed to have an impact on the weekend box office championship with the "genius Ripley".

However, the "beautiful mind" obviously has nothing to do with the competition for the weekend championship. The expansion of 500 theaters simply cannot compete with the scale of 2,000 theaters. Despite this, the expansion of the film has become a focus of attention. The focus of the film is bound to affect the prospects of the film in the next awards season, and this week it will compete directly with the two works of "Man on the Moon" and "Genius Ripley" at the box office. This is also the awarding ceremony. One of the highlights of the season.

Carrying the nomination for the Golden Globe Award, "Beautiful Mind" has made persistent efforts and handed over a single box office of 33,000 US dollars, which shocked the entire North American market. This time, it created a record once again. More than 500 works were screened in theaters. Among them, the single-library box office ranks first in film history, and it has shown a strong dominance. This achievement also made the box office of "Beautiful Mind" the next week’s weekend box office burst out at 16.5 million US dollars in one fell swoop. Let all the experts jump up from their chairs!

The weekend box office of $16.5 million is naturally slightly inferior to the summer film, but it is definitely an impressive result when placed in the winter file. You will know by doing a horizontal comparison. ——The box office of the premiere of "The Green Mile" at 2,800 theaters was 18 million, and the premiere of "Little Elf Mouse" at the same 2,800 theaters was 15 million U.S. dollars .

what does this mean? This means that "Beautiful Mind" is only shown in 500 theaters, but it is still in short supply, completely detonating the enthusiasm of the film market. Not long ago, the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural" deeply felt the power of Hugo's box office appeal, and now the "Beautiful Mind" once again proved that Hugo is indeed unique in the North American market.

Just five hundred theaters, but it has exploded with greater energy than two thousand theaters. Hugo almost changed the countless fixed impressions of the film industry by himself, so that everyone could not understand things. The development context, in addition to being amazed, can only be admired.

What does this mean at the same time? This means that the "beautiful mind", despite being ignored by everyone, actually has the qualifications to hit the weekend box office championship-as a result, it did!

Although "Challenge Sunday" has a strong cast and focuses on the nation's No. 1 sports rugby, the overall impact is still weak-the box office appeal of sports-themed movies in the North American market has been relatively weak, with a price of $55 million. The investment can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. In the end, the film won a weekend box office of $13.5 million, which was slightly lower than expected, but overall it was still within a reasonable range.

As expected, "Genius Ripley" has become the focus of attention in the market this week, but after the full release, the media review has declined, from the original 80 points to 76 points, which is not much different. , But it can be seen that the overall quality of the film is still slightly lower than expected, and the theater scores are very good, but the "B" score proves that the audience's interest in this film is not as high as expected, which also restricts the movie weekend The box office rose further.

The $12.7 million result was no surprise or disappointment. At least for a film that is determined to make a difference during the awards season, this result is satisfactory.

The fight between "Challenge Sunday" and "Genius Ripley" is not unexpected. The box office gap between the two works is within one million, which can be regarded as the winner of Bo Bing. This was previously predicted by the media. Just see the result. But everyone did not expect that the "Beautiful Mind" completely broke the overall pattern, turned out to be an absolutely powerful posture, defeated these two powerful competitors, handed over 16 million box office data, and easily defeated Overcome his opponents and win the North American Weekend Box Office Championship in the fourth week of December 1999!

"Beautiful Mind", "Challenge Sunday", "Genius Ripley", these are the top three in the box office this week, so the result is indeed an uproar across North America.

What’s even more incredible is that the champion was only shown in a small area in 500 theaters, while the second and third places in the theaters reached 2,000. This is also a miracle in the history of the North American box office, writing an almost impossible The copied record has become the admirable target of all future generations.

"Beautiful Mind" easily defeated "Genius Ripley" in the head-off competition at the box office. This seems to coincide with the nomination list for the Golden Globe Awards. The direction of the awards season seems to have lifted a little fog, which makes people peek. The tip of the iceberg-at least for now, people's pursuit of "beautiful mind" is higher than "genius Ripley".

But... But are you really going to make Hugo the last laugh again? Is this really incredible? Do you really want to do this? Shouldn't it be the pursuit of "genius Ripley", "explosion inside story", suppression of "beautiful soul", and a good vigor of Hugo?

Those in the Hollywood industry seem to be a little confused.

The outstanding performance of "Beautiful Mind" made everyone exclaimed, "Genius Preley" was eclipsed, and another high-profile work "The Man on the Moon" during the awards season was a hit.

Although countless people pursued this work as this year's "Trumen's World", and Kim Carey also gave a wonderful performance in it, but the audience obviously didn't buy it-they still hope to see Kim, the king of comedy. Kerry, not the serious comedy Kim Kerry. The screenings in two thousand theaters only yielded a weekend box office of 7.5 million U.S. dollars, ranking seventh this week, which is disappointing.

"The Man on the Moon" cost 82 million U.S. dollars, of which gold was paid as much as 20 million U.S. dollars. As one of the only two 20 million club members in North America, Kim is once again disappointed. Compared with Hugo's steadily rising, the name of 20 million club members is indeed a bit heavy for Kim.

The popularity of "Beautiful Mind" after its release far exceeded DreamWorks' expectations. They originally thought it was a biographical film. As the subject matter focused on heavy topics such as schizophrenia, the box office had to rely more on Hugo and Charlie. It’s hard to do much at the box office because of my appeal. But after the movie was released, it caused countless discussions.

Just two weeks after it was released, "Beautiful Mind" was supported by the American Psychological Association. The American Psychological Association has stated on many occasions in public, “This is not a formal psychological work, and many of the descriptions of schizophrenia are not completely correct, and the understanding of treatment methods is also biased. But it is undeniable that This work conveys a really useful message that people suffering from mental illness are just patients. They are no different. What can help them is the closest people around them, their relatives, lovers, and friends."

The American Psychological Association stated that it hopes that more people can enter the movie theater to watch this work, and have a new understanding of mental illness to put a correct attitude.

This has caused many family members and friends of mental illness patients to cast their eyes on the "beautiful soul". Only when they have really experienced it will they know the difficulties and hardships. Alicia's experience in the movie resonated a lot, but at the same time it also sparked further discussion.

More and more people hope to walk into the cinema to watch this work, but it is clear that the five hundred theaters simply cannot meet the needs of the audience. Faced with such a situation, the publishing department of DreamWorks, which was established less than a year ago, responded immediately. They directly increased the number of screening venues for "Beautiful Mind" to 1,800, and the pace of expansion immediately accelerated and entered directly. The stage of full release.

The fifth week of December, this is the last weekend of the twentieth century. People from all corners of the world cheered and enthusiastically greeted the arrival of the twenty-first century. They became part of the global party with all their heart and soul. The movie market It has also shown unprecedented prosperity. Almost all works have ushered in the momentum of reverse growth in the box office. Among them, "Beautiful Mind" is obviously a member that cannot be ignored, and it is very hopeful to create an incredible record here.

But for Hugo, he has no intention of paying attention to the weekend box office of "Beautiful Mind", because the millennium is approaching, he also joined the global carnival party, welcoming the 21st century with a bright smile.
