Comparing the sinister situation before the release of "Night Sleep in Seattle", almost no one could have predicted that after the film premiere, two waves of comments would actually set off a wave of praise, one after another praise review. It's jaw-dropping.

Although it was said that the same was true of "Scenting the Fragrance and Knowing Women" and "Yihai Xiongfeng", they were generally not favored before the screening, but after the screening, they fought a beautiful turnaround; but "Sleepless in Seattle" is just For a love movie or a chick movie, it is not difficult to win the box office for a movie of the same type, but it is even more difficult to win praise. Now, "Sleepless in Seattle" has also ushered in the "wave" and "tide", which really broke everyone's glasses.

Except for "USA Today", only "Entertainment Weekly" and "Austin Chronicle" gave negative reviews for this movie.

"Entertainment Weekly" thinks this movie is "too old-fashioned", a series of old-fashioned "old-fashioned,'language' comics and old-style routines, developed a bad template to make people fall in love with it. Unfortunately, not everyone is. Stupid." The fifty-point rating is really not good.

The "Austin Chronicle" believes that "Although this movie tells an incredible'wave' comic and distorts the traditional impression of love, this movie is just a terrible commercial product, and the story has no practical significance at all. The lengthy story.” The forty-point comment is also the worst of the two batches of comments.

However, other than that, all other reviews have been well received. Both "Rolling Stone" and "The Globe and Mail", who were not too cold with Hugo's two works before, both got full marks!

"Rolling Stone" believes that "Aphron makes us feel the missing parts in the current love movie and our lives: love, long-term love, wise ‘friendship’ conversation, humor, and the true meaning of love."

“The Globe and Mail” commented, “Aphron has once again transformed the ordinary script into a miracle. The pictures, lines, characters and stories are perfectly combined together, dedicating a warm and innocent story to the audience. Smile from the beginning to the end."

In addition, the "New Yorker" also gave a perfect score of 100, "Only at the end of the movie, the male and female protagonists can meet, what will the only love story look like? The waves have been overwhelming! Since the love After the story (.), there hasn't been any love movie that has such'smart' wisdom and wisdom, as well as'precise' and accurate emotional'manipulation' control!

The "Washington Post", which gave ninety points, said, "Although the movie does not have any surprises, the audience even knows the plot before the characters in the play, but everyone likes it. It is like a curse. Everyone sees it. There are tears in the smile."

There are also similar to "the'fine' is picturesque, Seattle has a thrilling beauty", "this is a dramatic'sex','lang' man's'fine' love story, wandering in the magic and reality , Make people unforgettable", "Mellow and handsome Lancaster, sweet "wave" Ryan, the most perfect screen lover since the 1990s, even if two people only meet in just two minutes, they are still beautiful It's heartbreaking"...Such comments are not uncommon.

The comprehensive score of 21 media reviews actually reached a rare high score of 73. You must know that among movies of the same type, "Pretty Girl in Wind and Moon" only scored 51 points, and "When Harry Meets Sally" is also Only seventy-five points, while the "Golden'Jade' League" repeatedly mentioned in the movie is seventy-one points. This shows how high the praise "Sleepless in Seattle" gets, and it can definitely rank among the top five or even the top three among movies of the same type.

In terms of movie scores, it is not surprising that, due to the special ‘sex’ of the subject matter, I only got a "b+" score. After all, "Sleepless in Seattle" as a chick movie originally aimed at the "female" **** market. It is completely expected that men will not catch a cold with this movie. In fact, let alone media comments, even The theater scores also far exceeded expectations.

After the national premiere of "Seattle Sleepless" on Friday, it fought a stand-up battle, sweeping away the sluggishness and silence in the previous four months, and it became the most acclaimed post-1990s. This kind of situation is obviously not expected by anyone, which makes "Sleepless in Seattle" a topic of praise on the headlines of major media.

Relatively speaking, behind the grand premiere of "Naughty Dan", which was released in the same period, what was hidden behind the grand premiere was the feat of wishing to replicate the successful trajectory of "Home Alone". The reviews are really miserable. Even though the reviews of comedy movies are generally hard to exceed 60 points, this score still seems too bleak, and it makes people unbearable to look directly at it.

Originally, after the grand premiere of "Naughty Adam", Warner Bros. also arranged a series of media campaigns. The cooperative media would express their opinions on the film as soon as possible, but they did not expect this to become a pit that Warner Bros. dug for themselves. The cooperating media will naturally post comments according to the agreement, but the content of the comments naturally needs to be credible, so as to promote the film positively, but unfortunately, the poor quality of the film itself wiped out the first batch of fifteen media outlets. , The overwhelming criticism made "Naughty Dan" feel complacent.

Such a sharp contrast turned the situation at the premiere on Wednesday upside down. The low-key silent "Night Sleep in Seattle" shined brightly in an instant and became the most favorable contender in the box office rankings this week.

The fact is also true.

"Sleepless in Seattle" took advantage of its invincible reputation, and the box office of the single library actually won a sturdy result of 16,000 US dollars, but it is a pity that the number of movie theaters is not dominant, so it restricts the movie premiere box office. It expanded further, but in the end it won the premiere box office of $25.6 million.

This box office data broke the US$21 million premiere box office score created by Eddie Murphy in the 1988 comedy love movie "Coming to America", and became one of the top box office charts in the history of romantic comedy movies. do!

This kind of premiere box office data can definitely be said to have blinded everyone’s titanium alloy dog ​​eyes. Even the box office of the premiere of "Pretty Beautiful Lady" was only 11 million, and "coming to the United States" although it belongs to Love comedy, but it is mainly comedy movies, and it is the appeal of Eddie Murphy to get to this point. But now, "Sleepless in Seattle", a chick movie that is generally not favored by people in the circle, has suddenly emerged. It won the box office of the premiere weekend of $25.6 million, which really broke countless people. Chin.

More intuitively, before that, the media generally predicted that the box office for the premiere was only 5 million US dollars, but "Sleepless in Seattle" broke the data of 25.6 million US dollars, which is exactly the five million dollars predicted by the media. It's more than double, this really makes the box office forecasting professionals face disgraced.

The three-day box office of "Night Sleep in Seattle" unexpectedly broke out such a sturdy fighting power during the three-day weekend of the premiere weekend, which really made this year's summer file glow with a different vitality, and let the "Jurassic Park" which was originally thought to be able to win three consecutive championships. "Scared into a cold sweat.

"Jurassic Park" continued to be shown in 2,500 theaters this week. As a result, with a 28% drop, it won a box office of 27 million U.S. dollars at the weekend of the third week of the show. A $400,000 advantage narrowly defeated "Sleepless in Seattle", and the tightrope walker generally won three consecutive championships.

Although it is said that "Jurassic Park" has successfully completed its three consecutive championships, the impact of "Night Sleep in Seattle" is enough to make Universal Pictures frighten and jump. Steven Spielberg, the post-production of Le's List, was not surprised at all.

Steven told reporters in an interview, “Hugo is an excellent and dedicated actor. I’m serious. If there is any reason for me to go into the cinema to watch a love movie, then Hugo It will be the only reason. In fact, Kate and I are going to the cinema next week to enjoy a long-lost date. "Night in Seattle" is Kate's first choice and mine."

The showdown between "Jurassic Park" and "Sleepless in Seattle" that the reporters were expecting actually happened. This is really unimaginable, but what is "disappointing" is that there is not too much gunpowder between the two sides. Taste, but a harmonious scene, which also makes people involuntarily have a faint expectation of "Schindler's List".

Compared with the slight gap of less than $1.4 million between "Jurassic Park" and "Night Sleep in Seattle", "Naughty Adam" was screened in 2100 theaters, but only earned 9 million. The dollar's box office has no combat effectiveness at all, and it is left far behind without any suspense.

"Sleepless in Seattle" at a production cost of only US$21 million ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ received a box office of US$25.6 million during the premiere weekend, which also kept silent for nearly three years. Time's Meg Ryan once again became the darling of the United States. With Julia Roberts disappearing, Meg, the "American Sweetheart Sister", has no doubts about the throne, and it has renewed its strong vitality.

More importantly, at this time, Samsung Pictures, a subsidiary of Columbia Pictures, broke the news that Hugo took part in the performance of "Night Sleep in Seattle" with an ultra-low remuneration plus box office revenue, which also proved the original Hugo's wise. Following the "Yihai Xiongfeng", Hugo once again proved that he possessed a certain box office appeal. A rising star swept away the bleakness of the past six months and burst into glory.

Although the box office trend of "Sleepless in Seattle" is still unpredictable, the box office decline in the second week will be crucial, but the film has achieved such an excellent reputation, which is enough to attract everyone's attention. After experiencing big-name suspicions, Hugo once again spoke with his works and with his strength, and regained the attention.

Looking at the newspapers and magazines in the last week of June and the first week of July, Hugo Lancaster is undoubtedly the focus of everyone’s discussion. Even Meg Ryan’s return to the sweetheart route has not been able to stop the'woman'. Sex's love for Hugo is like the courtship of Sam across the country in the movie!
