Chapter 2155 Chapter 2155
After the announcement of the Golden Globe nomination list, Julianne Moore's double nomination is undoubtedly the biggest attraction. On the other hand, Hugo also won a double nomination for "A Beautiful Mind" - Best Actor in a Drama Series and Best Screenplay The two nominations, once again became the shining figure on the Golden Globe Awards.
"A Beautiful Mind" replaced "The Insider" and "The Talented Ripley" as the No. 1 seed of the awards season. The rapid rise caught everyone off guard, and "The Sixth Sense" was almost completely ignored-only With just two nominations for Best Supporting Actor and Best Screenplay, the second year of awards season has been a chaotic one.
"A Beautiful Mind", which won seven nominations, immediately became the biggest hit in the last two weeks of the year-end. In the fourth week of December, "A Beautiful Mind" held its initial expansion in 500 theaters, plus this week "The Talented Ripley", which held a grand screening, suddenly became extremely lively this Christmas.
The grand premiere of "The Talented Ripley" two weeks ago has sparked countless discussions, and it will be released in 2,300 theaters this weekend, and it is generally considered to be 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. Given. Sunday)", "Galaxy Quest (Galaxy. Quest) )" are about to be screened in more than 2,000 theaters. Bringing together Oliver Stone, Al Pacino and Cameron Diaz's "Sunday Challenge" is expected to compete with "The Talented Ripley" for the weekend box office title.
However, "A Beautiful Mind" obviously has nothing to do with competing for the weekend championship. The expansion of 500 theaters cannot compete with the scale of 2,000 theaters. Even so, the expansion of the film has become a focus of attention. This 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 "The Man on the Moon" and "The Talented Ripley" for the box office. One of the highlights of the season.
With the nomination momentum of the Golden Globe Awards, "A Beautiful Mind" made persistent efforts and handed over a single-house box office of 33,000 US dollars, stunning the entire North American market. Among them, the box office of a single theater ranked first in film history, and it showed a strong dominance. This achievement also made the weekend box office of "A Beautiful Mind" burst out 16.5 million US dollars in one fell swoop. Make all the experts jump out of their chairs!
The weekend box office of 16.5 million US dollars is naturally a bit inferior to that of the summer movies, but it is definitely an impressive result in the winter movies. Just make a horizontal comparison. ——"Miracle on the Green Mile" had a premiere box office of 18 million in 2,800 theaters. .
what does that mean? This means that "A Beautiful Mind" is only shown in 500 theaters, but the supply is still in short supply, completely detonating the enthusiasm of the film market. Not long ago, "The Sixth Sense" deeply felt Hugo's strong box office appeal, and now "A Beautiful Mind" has once again proved that Hugo is indeed unique in the North American market.
There are only 500 theaters, but they have exploded with more energy than 2,000 theaters. Hugo almost changed countless fixed impressions of the film industry by himself, making everyone unable to understand things. The development context, in addition to admiration, can only be admiration.
At the same time, what does this mean? This means that "A Beautiful Mind" has the qualifications to hit the top weekend box office when everyone ignores it-and it did!
Although "Challenge Sunday" has a strong cast and focuses on football, the number one sport in the United States, its overall impact is still relatively weak. The box office appeal of sports-themed movies in the North American market has always been relatively weak, with a gross of 55 million US dollars. The investment can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. In the end, the film won a weekend box office of 13.5 million US dollars, which was slightly lower than expected, but overall it was still within a reasonable range.
As expected, "The Genius Ripley" has become the focus of attention in the market this week. However, after the full release, the media's comprehensive evaluation has declined, from the original 80 points to 76 points. There is not much difference. , 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. Further rise in the box office.
The achievement of 12.7 million US dollars, no surprises, but no disappointment, at least for a movie that is determined to make a difference in the awards season, this result is satisfactory.
The fight between "Challenge Sunday" and "The Talented Ripley" was not unexpected. The box office gap between the two works is within one million, which can be called a thin ice victory. This is what the media predicted before. Just see the result. But no one expected that "A Beautiful Mind" completely broke the overall pattern and emerged with an absolutely strong attitude. It defeated these two powerful competitors, handed over 16 million box office data, and easily defeated Overwhelmed its opponents and won the North American weekend box office rankings in the fourth week of December 1999!
"A Beautiful Mind", "Challenge Sunday", and "The Genius Ripley", these are the top three box office box office this week, and the result really caused an uproar in North America.
What's even more incredible is that the champion was only screened in a small range of 500 theaters, while the runner-up and third runner-up were screened in 2,000 theaters. This is also a miracle in the history of the North American box office. The copied records have become the object of admiration for all future generations.
"A Beautiful Mind" easily defeated "The Talented Ripley" in the head-to-head competition at the box office, which seems to coincide with the nomination list for the Golden Globe Awards. The tip of the iceberg - at least for now, people are more sought after for "A Beautiful Mind" than "The Talented Ripley".
But... But is it really necessary to let Hugo have the last laugh again? This is really too incredible? Do you really want to do this? Shouldn't it be chasing after "Genius Ripley" and "Shocking Insider", suppressing "A Beautiful Mind" and giving Hugo a good boost?
Insiders in Hollywood seem a little lost.
The outstanding performance of "A Beautiful Mind" made everyone exclaimed, "The Talented Prairie" was eclipsed, and another high-profile work of the awards season, "The Man on the Moon", was even more popular.
Although countless people have sought after this work as this year's "The Truman Show", and Jim Carrey also dedicated a wonderful performance in it, the audience obviously didn't buy it-they still hope to see the king of comedy, Kim- Carrey, not the Jim Carrey of serious comedy. Screenings in 2,000 theaters only delivered a weekend box office of 7.5 million US dollars, ranking seventh this week, which is a big disappointment.
"Man in the Moon" cost $82 million, including $20 million for Kim. As one of the only two members of the 20 million club in North America at present, Jin is once again a big disappointment. Compared with Hugo's rising, the title of the 20 million club member is indeed a bit heavy for Jin.
The popularity of "A Beautiful Mind" after its release far exceeded DreamWorks' expectations. They originally thought it was a biographical film. Because the subject matter focused on heavy topics such as schizophrenia, the box office relied more on Hugo and Charlie. It is difficult to do much at the box office due to the appeal of Zizi. But after the film was released, it sparked countless discussions.
Just two weeks into its release, "A Beautiful Mind" has the endorsement of the American Psychological Association. The American Psychological Association has repeatedly stated in public, "This is not a formal psychological work. Many descriptions of schizophrenia in it may not be completely correct, and the understanding of treatment methods is also biased. But it is undeniable that , this work conveys a really useful message, that is, people suffering from mental illness are just patients, they are no different, and the people who can help them are the closest people around them, relatives, lovers, and friends.”
The American Psychological Association expressed the hope that more people can go to the cinema to watch this work, so as to gain a new understanding of mental illness and correct their attitudes.
This has caused many family members and friends of patients with mental illness to cast their eyes on "A Beautiful Mind". Only when they have really experienced it can they know the difficulties and hardships involved. Alicia's experience in the movie has aroused a lot of resonance, but at the same time it has further sparked discussions.
More and more people hope to go to the cinema to watch this work, but obviously, 500 theaters cannot meet the needs of the audience. Faced with such a situation, the distribution department of DreamWorks, which was established less than a year ago, responded immediately. They directly increased the number of screening venues for "A Beautiful Mind" to 1,800, and the pace of expansion immediately accelerated, directly entering 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 welcomed the arrival of the twenty-first century, and became a member of the global party wholeheartedly, while the film market It has also shown unprecedented prosperity, and almost all works have ushered in the trend of counter-growth at the box office. Among them, "A 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 didn't have the mind to pay attention to the weekend box office of "A Beautiful Mind", because the millennium is coming, and he also joined the global carnival party, welcoming the arrival of the 21st century with a bright smile.
