In the following week, Columbia Pictures carefully added a venue, from six to seven. This move shows that Columbia Pictures was hit by the entire situation, and the pace of expansion was so conservative.

However, "Love Years" still relied on the hot topic of "the second showdown", and the box office of a single museum finally improved, directly rising to 36,000 US dollars, and won a weekend box office of $250,000 in Qijian Preview Theater. This result is not that ugly at least; but "Pulp Novel" once again gained a box office data of $3.1 million with a decline against the sky, and still easily defeated its opponents.

In fact, Columbia Pictures' caution soon received a reward, and the box office performance of the "Love Years" in the following box office was beyond expectations. Compared with the critics and audience responses after the premiere.

Thanks to the hype of the showdown between Hugo and Brad, after 1995, "Love Years" delivered a good answer when it was held in 2,000 theaters, winning a weekend box office of $14 million with a single museum of $7,000. The January winter time is a time when everything is quiet. When competitors are generally not strong, "Love Years" relied on this data to top the North American weekend box office rankings in the second week of January 1995!

And the "vulgar novels" that have entered the second half of the box office are still controlling their decline to less than 15%, but they cannot burst out with a strong increase, so they naturally cannot confront the "Love Years". This is the true contest of different levels.

Subsequently, the North American film market was dead silent throughout January, and the newly released works lacked competitiveness. "Love Years" relied on strong and intensive publicity to achieve three consecutive championships! Although the box office data for winning the championship was lower than 10 million, the box office results for winning the championship in the third week were only six million, which was really unsightly, but the three consecutive championships were three consecutive championships. This result still allowed the "Love Years" to sweep away the haze of the early stage and revitalize its vitality.

In this wave of intensive publicity, Brad Pitt became the biggest beneficiary, not only because he is the protagonist of the "Second duel", but also because his perfect image in the "Love Years" is very popular, and coupled with the popularity and popularity left by "Night Visit Vampire", this also made Brad truly touch the edge of the first lineup for the first time.

When the handover between 1994 and 1995, Brad officially rose!

"Lovely Years" have been booming in the deserted January, but in fact the results are not as exaggerated as imagined. Due to the constraints of the theme and reputation of the movie, the movie was released for only 12 weeks and the box office stopped at 61 million, which is completely inconsistent with the data of its three consecutive championships. Not only did the weekend of winning the championship, but the accumulated box office data in the middle of the week is really ugly. Not to mention the threshold of 100 million, even 80 million is a long distance away.

I'm afraid Columbia Pictures can't laugh at such a three-game winning streak.

It is worth mentioning that although the box office of "Love Years" in North America was only 61 million, it was just a worthless data. Compared with the book cost of 30 million, it is not enough to make Columbia Pictures happy. However, the overseas market performance of "Love Years" is particularly outstanding. The global box office market outside North America witnessed Brad's sex. The sense of feeling came, and the overseas market swept the box office of 94 million US dollars, which not only far exceeded the results of North America, but also made the global box office of "Love Years" reach 160 million US dollars in one fell swoop.

This result made everyone's eyes lit up, at least not inferior to "night visits to vampires". Not only did Brad add another work with "box office of over 100 million", but also made "Lovely Years" not too embarrassed in the duel with "vulgar novels".

Therefore, when people talk about "Lovely Years" again, they rarely mention the embarrassment and desolation of the head-on confrontation of the "Second duel", but more importantly, this movie made Brad and became the first milestone in the duel between Brad and Hugo.

Although the global box office of "Love Years" with a net worth of $160 million is very good, compared to its competitors, this result is really unsatisfactory. The greatest significance of this movie's achievement is to make Brad strong. Next, it depends on the performance of "Love Years" and "Pulp Novels" at the award ceremony.

The global box office of "Love Years" has no comparison at all in the face of "night visits to vampires" in the face of 101.7 million yuan in North America, 118 million yuan overseas, and about 220 million yuan in the world. More importantly, in the face of "puff novels", it can only be said that they have not lost their underwear.

Although after 1995, when the "Love Years" had no king in the mountains, the performance of "vulgar novels" became strong from beginning to end, and their coherence and durability were amazing.

Before the end of 1994, the box office of "vulgar novels" was accompanied by the Christmas holiday and the New Year holiday, and the box office of "vulgar novels" increased instead of falling, and the box office gains of 15% and 47% were successively revealed. This was a huge difference from the "night visit to vampire" that was determined to be offline early, and the box office momentum was never strong, and the audience's support had never weakened.

Many media joked that last year's "Schindler's list" indirectly caused the early offline of "Say farewell to the Love Heaven", and this year's "vulgar novels" indirectly caused the early offline of "night visits to vampires" and the long-term downturn of "Love Years". Although everyone knows that this is just a joke, Hugo still won the joke of a "cold killer", which is really ridiculous.

After entering 1995, "Night Visit to Vampire" was offline, "Love Years" expanded, and competitors made many moves, but "Pu Li Novels" were not affected at all, and they still steadily continued their strength.

From the Golden Globe Awards to the Oscars, this work that has won praise from reporters, film critics, and academics has been very popular, and the second round of expansion began in mid-February. The entire momentum is no less than the "love years" that have been expanded in January.

Starting from the first week of the New Year, "Pulp Novels" have increased by 50 to 100 theaters every week, and have been expanded again. By mid-February, the theaters have been released in more than 1,000 again, and it has continued until the end of March. Such a release curve was really something that no one expected.

The reason why the expansion can be unfolded is naturally because there are still audiences entering the cinemas. In mid-February, "Pulp Novels" can still maintain a box office of more than 2,000 in a single theater in one thousand theaters. Major theaters are naturally very willing to continue to allocate venues to screen this work.

In the end, the release curve of "Pulp Novels" has been delayed until the second week of April, and it was released for twenty-seven weeks. Not to mention the eight-week screening time of "Night Visit to Vampire", even compared with most movies that were released after 22 weeks, the long-term sales trend of this movie is very amazing, and the twelve weeks of "Lovely Years" are far below average.

Which one is higher and which one is lower is clear at a glance.

"Pulp Novel" officially reached $150 million in the second week of February. Although many media had predicted that this work could set the goal at this value before, when "Pulp Novel" truly reached its goal, it once again exceeded people's expectations. At that time, the media were talking about it. Does this independent film that created countless miracles actually want to challenge the 200 million box office threshold? In fact!

From 50 million to 100 million, to 150 million, the box office growth rate of "pulp novels" with a cost of only 8 million is enough to leave all competitors behind and stand out.

However, facts have proved that "Pulp Novels" have created enough history, and the mid-1990s was not the best time to make further breakthroughs. This is the constraint of the entire era and society. It requires time to settle and brew, and the accumulation and superposition of works. It is not a breakthrough that can be completed by a "Pulp Novel". Although "Pulp Novels" have been released until April, the cumulative box office is unsustainable, and the pace of progress has gradually slowed down. In the end, the cumulative box office in North America was US$172 million!

This achievement is obviously still a long way from the threshold of 200 million.

The North American box office of 172 million also means that all speculations have been settled. Behind the glory of Hugo's five consecutive movies with a box office of over 100 million, it also announced that the epic of Hugo's three consecutive movies with a box office of over 200 million was not achieved; in addition, this box office result is also the worst among Hugo's five recent works, only higher than the $170 million created by "Yihai Xiongfeng" released at the end of 1992. In other words, the momentum of the continuous rise in the box office of Hugo's five consecutive movies has come to an abrupt end.

Of course, this is just nitpicking.

"Pulp Novels" won a box office of 170 million movies, easily exaggerating the "love-burning years", strongly suppressing the "night visit to vampires", and achieving a refreshing victory with absolute advantage. If you consider that the only eight million investment in movies is considered? It can be said that no matter from which perspective this matter is, no matter what time point in history, even twenty years later, it is still an incredible milestone. This work proves to everyone that independent films also have a wide market, and since then the entire North American film market has been in turmoil.

More importantly, "vulgar novels" faced the direct impact of "night visits to vampires", faced the squeeze of good works such as "Santa Claus", faced with the new force such as "Love Years", and faced the chaos of the holiday season, but they never showed a decline. Relying on their strong reputation and a huge fan base, they were released in the North American film market for 27 weeks before they were offline. This momentum is not inferior to "Schindler's list".

Therefore, there is no doubt that "pulp novels" have created history, created incredible history, and created history that successors are difficult to surpass; at the same time, Hugo has created history, created history that Hollywood actors must look up to, and created history that even he himself is difficult to surpass.
