"Rush Hour" is not too conspicuous among the films that started painting in November. After all, although "Red Zone" aroused good response in North America at the beginning of the year, films with Chinese protagonists are still a minority in Hollywood. Although the critics responded well after the test screening, the industry still only gave a box office expectation of 60 million to 80 million US dollars.

In 1988, the film "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", which combined live action and animation, achieved a high box office of 150 million in North America at a cost of 45 million US dollars. Warner's "Space Jam" obviously wanted to replicate that year The box office of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is very high, and the industry's expectations for the film are also very high.
However, when "Rush Hour" and "Space Jam" were released at the same time, the box office status of the two films was completely opposite to the industry's expectations, which surprised many people.
The box office of "Rush Hour" reached more than 42 million U.S. dollars in the first week, exceeding the cost of 33 million U.S. dollars in one fell swoop, and easily won the box office champion of the week. Even according to the box office curve of "Red Fan District" at the beginning of the year, the cumulative box office of this film will be close to 100 million US dollars, but the audience's love for this witty and humorous film from dialogue to martial arts is far less than that Far surpassing "Red Zone", after the film was released, the media quickly adjusted the total North American box office expectation of "Rush Hour" to between 120 million and 140 million US dollars.
The first-week box office of "Space Jam" was only 32 million, which was not only a full US$10 million lower than "Rush Hour", but also far from Warner's first-week box office expectation of US$50 million. But the cost of this film is more than twice that of "Rush Hour", reaching 80 million US dollars. According to the current box office curve of the film, the film can be recovered through overseas distribution in the later stage. The plan for the series of movies was directly shelved, and there was no more follow-up.
Subsequently, on November 22, "Mission: Impossible 2" was officially released in 3,000 theaters in North America. ", Paramount chose to transfer "Star Trek: First Contact" from the Thanksgiving schedule to the Christmas file a few days ago. Although there was a secret intention to attack "Titanic", the other party announced that they wanted to avoid " The purpose of Mission Impossible 2 is not just an excuse, either.
Relying on the popularity accumulated by the previous work and the strong influence of the MGM Agent movie universe, "Mission Impossible 2" lived up to expectations and achieved a box office of 82.7 million US dollars in the first week, easily breaking the box office record of the traditional Thanksgiving schedule in North America. In 1996, it was second only to "The Mummy 2" on the first-week box office list of North American films in the summer.
Since MGM announced the secret agent movie universe plan, the two major film sequels of "Charlie's Angels" and "Mission: Impossible" that have been launched have all achieved brilliant success. After the release of "Mission: Impossible 2", MGM's stock price soared again, once exceeding $18.5 per share, and the company's total market value easily exceeded $8 billion.
Although the media industry as a whole has risen rapidly in the past two years, MGM's market value is still at the bottom of the seven major companies, only slightly better than Sony Pictures. The growth rate is definitely the highest among the seven.

Joanna, who was kneeling on the thick carpet, turned her eyes away from her daughter who was writing and drawing on the glass table, and looked at Eric with a questioning look in her eyes.
Eric glanced at the TV. The Golden Globe nominations will be announced on NBC at eight o'clock. He noticed Virginia's expression and explained, "It's Chris calling. He asked me to talk to Manhattan tomorrow. Issues."
Virginia also asked at this time: "Then will you come back tomorrow?"
"Of course," Eric nodded, and leaned over to sit down on the carpet, looking at little Kevin who was clumsily holding a pen and writing something on the card.
