Chapter 2137 Chapter 2137
"Hugo Lancaster", every time this name is mentioned, people can think of his strong box office appeal in the North American continent. Almost every work can write a box office miracle, except "Scent of a Woman", " Since the Golden Raspberry Awards in 1992, the three films "Before Sunrise" and "Death Row" have each surpassed 100 million box office in North America, including five 200 million-level works—" "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" is the sixth volume.
On a global scale, though, the name clearly has a stronger cachet, transcending borders, cultures and languages, truly gaining recognition from everyone in every corner of the world. For overseas markets, Hollywood releases a large number of new works every year, which are uneven. It is not an easy task to get rid of the sand. The audience in the North American market has a system for selecting works by themselves, but in other countries and regions , they rely more on experience—famous directors, famous screenwriters, famous actors. Therefore, for them, the golden signboard of "Hugo-Lancaster" represents quality assurance.
Starting from "Schindler's List", Hugo's global appeal has been rising steadily. According to statistics, after this work that made Hugo truly famous all over the world, Hugo starred in a total of nine works, of which The overseas box office of the six works is higher than the North American box office, and the remaining three works, "Pulp Fiction", "Death Row Walking" and "The Truman Show" overseas box office and North American box office are basically the same, with a gap of less than 5 million US dollars .
This is definitely a feat. As we all know, it is definitely not an easy task for a Hollywood film to achieve an overseas box office explosion, because North America is currently the world's largest film market, and other regions have varying degrees of acceptance of Hollywood, such as the Japanese market and In the UK market, Hollywood films have repeatedly achieved success here, but their support for local films has never changed-this situation did not change fundamentally until after the "Titanic".
Under such circumstances, Hugo's works can actually achieve better results in overseas markets every time-and it is still under the premise that the box office in North America is already incredible. From this perspective, Hugo's appeal in overseas markets even far surpasses that of North America.
As long as it is a work of "Hugo Lancaster", you can enter the cinema unconditionally. This happened to the "sixth sense of the supernatural" again!
Unlike the North American market, which is cautious and cautious, even the theaters have to carefully consider and discuss it. Overseas markets can definitely be said to be confident in "The Sixth Sense". Many countries and regions have discussed with Disney early on the purchase of distribution rights. I just hope that I can watch this work simultaneously with North America as soon as possible.
Thanks to Hugo's strong appeal and Disney's global distribution system, "The Sixth Sense" was released simultaneously in 16 countries and regions around the world in the first week of August, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand and other major markets can be said to be one of the most valued works in this summer.
Similar to North America, "The Sixth Sense" has achieved excellent reputation in major overseas markets, and won the unanimous affirmation of film critics and audiences, which made the film undoubtedly start the momentum of sweeping the box office. The film has achieved the feat of reaching the top of the premiere weekend in all 16 countries and regions. It has shown an absolutely strong posture from the very beginning, and then it has won consecutive championships in all 16 countries and regions, of which 14 All countries and regions have completed three consecutive championships. Among them, four countries and regions including Germany, Italy and Brazil have followed the footsteps of North America and achieved an incredible six consecutive championships. Their outstanding performance can be called phenomenal.
In the end, "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" was screened in 55 countries and regions around the world, and all of them won the championship! What's even more frightening is that there are as many as 18 countries and regions that have achieved six consecutive championships around the world—including North America. The competitiveness comparable to "Prequel 1: The Phantom Menace" is indeed a situation that no one could have expected.
In overseas markets, the United Kingdom, Argentina, and Germany have become the largest ticket warehouses. The box office of the three regions has exceeded 30 million U.S. dollars, and the U.K. has unbelievably handed over 43 million U.S. dollars in box office data. The performance also surpassed "The Truman Show", which is comparable to "Independence Day", and established the pace of this work towards the highest point in history.
The most incredible of these is Argentina. The box office of "The Sixth Sense" even approached that of "Titanic", showing the strong support of this land for Hugo. In addition, the box office data is also approaching 20 million US dollars. It can be seen that the enthusiasm of the South American continent has surpassed that of Europe, and it has become the continent with the highest level of support for Hugo outside of North America.
Looking back, Maracana once witnessed the peak moment of glory to death. More than 700,000 people joined that New Year’s Eve carnival, writing an unsurpassable page in the long history of music. Then Hugo It is no surprise that the South American continent can command such super high support.
The cumulative box office of these three countries alone has reached an incredible 110 million US dollars, almost bursting out with energy comparable to that of North America, and this performance is enough to match any top commercial film For a horror movie, this is absolutely unrepeatable brilliance.
Even "The Shining" and "The Exorcist" cannot write such a miracle-of course, the global film market was not really developed in the past, and this is also a conjecture destined to be unprovable. But it is undeniable that the overseas box office performance of "The Sixth Sense" has indeed created the myth of horror movies-in the next two decades, there are only a handful of North American horror movies that have achieved more than 100 million figures in the overseas box office market. countable.
In addition to the United Kingdom, Argentina and Germany, the performance of "The Sixth Sense" in other overseas countries and regions is not inferior. Twenty-nine countries and regions have achieved box office data of more than 10 million U.S. dollars, and nine of them The final cumulative box office in the region has reached 20 million, and its outstanding performance is not inferior to works that have created history such as "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace", "Independence Day", and "Titanic".
The fact is also the same. The final overseas score of "The Sixth Sense" broke through the 500 million threshold and reached 510 million US dollars. In the long history of movies, this score is only behind "Titanic", "Independence Day", "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace", "Jurassic Park", "The Lion King" and other six works, ranking seventh in the film history, this is the only seven overseas box office in the long history Breaking 500 million works.
Before this work, among Hugo's personal works, "LA Confidential" had the best overseas box office performance. Except for "Independence Day", the overseas box office of "LA Confidential" was 350 million US dollars. As good as it is, it's not enough to rank among the top in the entire long river of history. Now, "The Sixth Sense" has made up for this vacancy. With an overseas box office of 510 million US dollars, it ranks among the top ten movies in history, which truly proves Hugo's unparalleled appeal worldwide.
More importantly, the overseas box office of "The Sixth Sense" has reached the 500 million threshold. The previous overseas box office of "LA Confidential", "The Truman Show", "Schindler's List" and "Speed" The box office has reached more than 300 million U.S. dollars. However, apart from the sky-defying performance of "Independence Day", none of the works have been able to achieve further breakthroughs. Now, the overseas box office of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" has risen by two steps, not only breaking through 400 million, but also reaching 500 million, completely detonating Hugo's global appeal.
The overseas box office of 500 million US dollars has once again continued the incredible miracle in North America, proving that the film's achievements in North America cannot be regarded as "myths", but there are traces to follow. Overseas markets have given similar responses to the outstanding box office in North America. , all indications are that this work has won the love and support of everyone all over the world.
From North America to overseas, "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" has continued its history-making pace. The global box office has reached 890 million U.S. dollars. Unfortunately, it failed to break through the 900 million threshold. For a $10 million horror movie, it certainly made history.
Among all Hugo's works, there are five with a global box office of more than 500 million U.S. dollars. This performance is absolutely unique in the world, even Harrison Ford, who has swept the "Star Wars" series and the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series. Neither can be compared. More importantly, after "Independence Day" exceeded 1.2 billion US dollars, Hugo has now won another 890 million US dollars work, which can definitely be called the first person in film history!
Hugo's global appeal is indeed unique in the world.
The outstanding performance of "The Sixth Sense" last year was enough to win the year-end North American and global box office champions-and it was "The Truman Show" that achieved this feat last year. The "Independence Day", "Titanic", "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace", such a situation has completely pushed the prosperity of the entire film market to its peak.
At the coming historic moment of the 21st century, the film market has also entered the rhythm of history, and among them, "Hugo Lancaster" is an important figure who drives the entire history forward. Perhaps, twenty years or a century later, when people mention the prosperity of the 1990s, they will mention "that is a giant that pushed history forward".
