The turning point of many things in the world often stems from some unintentional little things.
After a week of struggling to deal with it, although he succeeded in turning the wind of public opinion into a puddle of muddy water, Simon understood that the clarification he was about to make on NBC's "The Tonight Show" could not completely free him from doubts, and it still took time to come. Dilute this thing.
However, the video that popped up on ABC completely turned the whole thing around.
The previous doubts were basically focused on whether Simon had professional skills such as photography, editing, and soundtracking. But after watching that video, anyone with a little self-thinking ability no longer doubts Simon's personal skills in music.
Obviously, Simon, a guitarist who has almost entered the room, can't complete the soundtrack of a mere movie.
Now that Simon can complete the soundtrack, he can naturally also complete the work of photography and editing, which should be easier for ordinary people to feel. So, is there any doubt that "Lola Run" is finally produced?
Of course, the voices of doubt will naturally not be so easily subsided.
Soon the media pointed out that in the video played by abc, Janet Johnston and Katherine Bigelow were obviously present, and Simon Westero used a collector's edition that should be worth about $1,000. Gibson acoustic guitar.
These details are enough to prove that the video is likely to have only been staged recently, rather than the bustling video of Simon Westeros in Venice Beach before he made a fortune.
Obvious truth.
A poor boy with no money, where can he get an expensive brand guitar to perform!
Inferring like this, Simon Westeros' "Flight of the Bumblebee" should have only been learned in a hurry recently, just to deal with the current situation. Sure, the boy might have some talent on the guitar, but it still doesn't prove anything.
However, doubts in this regard were slapped in the face every minute.
The local media in Los Angeles conducted an investigation directly on Venice Beach. Naturally, there were no traces of the original tourists, but many vendors and shop owners around were impressed by the little miracle that Simon made last year.
Later, the old Spanish man who ran the hotel even appeared on a talk show on a local TV station in Los Angeles with his acoustic guitar in his hands.
On the new Monday, in the anticipation of many people, Simon will officially be a guest on "The Tonight Show".
As the media trend has changed, Simon showed a series of handwritten scripts, sub-shot drawings and even Simon's own work notes during the production of "Lola Run" on this ace talk show on nbc TV, which caused a lot of uproar. Basically the dust has settled.
Originally, Simon thought that as long as he could successfully escape from this public opinion turmoil, it would be good.
But no one expected it. Perhaps it was the abc videotape that once again inspired a lot of popularity. Except for the rumor that the sales of guitars in all musical instrument stores in North America increased significantly during this period, the box office of "Lola Run" appeared again in the following week. An unexpected turn of events.
Since "Lola Run" has been rolled out on a large scale last week, according to the usual box office curve of most movies, the fifth week of the film should show a certain drop in the box office. Affected by the turmoil of doubts, Orion even predicted that the decline of "Lola Run" this week is likely to reach more than 30%.
However, the reality is that from March 13th to March 15th, the three-day weekend, compared with the same period last week, the box office of "Lola Run" not only did not fall, but rebounded by about 6%, and received an additional 19.65 million Dollar.
It's not over yet.
In the final week from March 13th to March 19th, the overall box office of "Lola Run" further expanded, reaching about 10%, and the single-week box office also created a new high of 28.16 million US dollars.
As a result, within five weeks of its release, the total box office of "Lola Run" reached 85.87 million US dollars.
Immediately after.
It was beyond everyone's expectations, and obviously it was expected.
Entering the sixth week, "Lola Run" earned $16.35 million at the box office for another three-day weekend, and the cumulative box office officially broke the $100 million mark, reaching $102.22 million.
Due to the limitations of the market size and distribution model, throughout the 1980s, at least before 1987, there were only a handful of films that could break through 100 million at the box office in six weeks.
According to Orion's original prediction, even in the best case, "Lola Run" will take a full week of the sixth week to reach the 100 million yuan mark, and the most likely is to enter the 100 million yuan club in the seventh week.
But the truth is, Lola Run managed to do just that in just five and a half weeks.
Moreover, "Lola Run" achieved a box office break of 100 million ahead of schedule, which is not the most important. Since its release, it's been clear to anyone that the film will do just that easily at the box office.
but.
Hollywood's original North American box office forecast for "Lola Run" was only between $150 million and $200 million.
But now, after a public opinion turmoil, the popularity of "Lola Run" has begun to dissipate again, and the box office decline has slowed down significantly.
The box office curve that was supposed to fall in the fifth week suddenly changed its trend, and there was an abnormally reversed decline, but the result was a follow-up
An overall upward revision of the box office curve.
So, after re-estimating, many people were surprised to find out. After five and a half weeks of breaking through 100 million, the final box office potential of "Lola Run" has clearly exceeded the limit of 200 million US dollars.
As for how much it will eventually reach, too many people are unwilling to predict.
However, some people want to hide from reality, but many good media directly took out the movies that had the same box office trend as "Lola Run" in the past few years for comparison. This movie is the 1985 North American box office champion "Back future".
The blockbuster sci-fi film directed by Robert Zemeckis also achieved a box office break of 100 million in its sixth week of release. However, "Back to the Future" was only after the full week of the sixth week, and only got a box office of 100.92 million US dollars, barely breaking the threshold of 100 million US dollars.
But just like this, the final North American box office of "Back to the Future" has reached 210 million US dollars.
So.
Look at "Lola Run" again, how many can there be? !
Thinking of the next box office potential of this movie, some people in some offices deep in Hollywood who just made small moves to curb the box office of this movie even had a strong regret.
I originally wanted to suppress the box office of "Lola Run", but I didn't expect this film to cross a more miraculous threshold.
