Although the miracles of 1996 and 1997 did not erupt, nor did they show the blossoming of a hundred flowers in 1998, the overall box office in 1999 still rose by one percentage point, and “Hugo Lancaster” is no longer a complete The only highlight of the movie box office market in 2015.

This is really a situation that no one could predict at the beginning of 1999; The work of Ju third runner-up is impressively the “beautiful mind” at the end of the year. Although this work did not reach the 300 million threshold, the $280 million achievement still shined in 1999.

Although Hugo missed the championship of the year, “Sixth Sense of Supernatural” and “Beautiful Mind” ranked second and third respectively. The combined box office of the two works reached 660 million yuan, realizing another personal breakthrough for Hugo. ——This is the highest annual number of actor’s single box office so far. An actor has created a box office of 660 million in a year, which was completely unimaginable before, even for the “Titanic” “At the box office of 600 million U.S. dollars, it is still the same. But now, Hugo has become the first person in film history-again.

It can be said that the glory of 1999, Hugo once again became a vital part of it.

After these three works, “Toy Story 2”, “Powers Ace 2”, “The Matrix”, “Ape Tarzan”, “Daddy Daddy Forward (.daddy, “Mummy”, “Run Off” “Bride” occupies the third to tenth place respectively.

In the whole year, a total of five works had a box office of over 200 million, and 22 of them had a box office of over 100 million. The most shocking performance was not Hugo, but “Blair the Witch” who ranked 11th at the year-end box office. This The work cost only 35,000 U.S. dollars, and eventually swept 145 million U.S. dollars in the North American market. Without any suspense, it became the most profitable work in film history, and it truly made fairy tales a reality.

In addition, the emergence of the “Matrix” also opened a new era of science fiction movies. This style of work has reawakened people’s curiosity and interest in science fiction with whimsical ideas, and more importantly, the innovative film Shooting techniques and new ideas and concepts have had a vital impact on the entire Hollywood industry. In addition to the 171 million U.S. dollar box office that created a new box office record for “R-rated” movies, many people in the industry have called this work “comparable to “Star Wars”.”

From the restart of the “Star Wars” series to the opening of the “The Matrix” series, sci-fi movies ushered in their second peak since the 1980s during the millennium bug crisis in 1999. This is also the first notable first in the blockbuster era. Features-The influence of computer special effects on sci-fi movies is undoubtedly. After disaster movies, sci-fi movies have become an important part of new era movies.

On this North American box office list, Disney became the biggest winner. The three works of “Sixth Sense of Supernatural”, “Toy Story 2” and “Tarzan” were all produced and distributed by them. However, industry insiders did not focus on Disney, but quietly noticed the rise of Endeavour’s elite brokerage company.

Naturally, Hugo needless to say, the “Sixth Sense of Supernatural” and “Beautiful Mind” are completely bundled and packaged works by Endeavour Elite Agency; in addition, “The Matrix” Keanu Reeves, “Old Adam Sandler, who “Dad rushed forward”, is also a client from Endeavour’s elite brokerage firm. In addition, “Green Mile”, “Racing Windmen”, “American Pie”, “Ghost Invasion”, etc. are on the box office list. The top 20 works are all the works of clients of Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company.

Not only Hugo and Tom Hanks, but other clients of Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company have also ushered in a full-scale explosion, which has substantially improved the company’s overall strength, plus the “Harry Potter” series Warner Bros. won the right to adapt the movie, which makes the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company indeed have the capital to break the “three big” rule.

Compared with the North American box office market, the pattern of the global box office market has not changed much. However, there is an interesting data comparison. Among the top ten global box office at the end of the year, only three works have a higher box office in the North American market than in overseas markets. In other words, following the full explosion of the North American market in 1996 and 1997, the overseas market also ushered in a period of rapid growth in 1999, and the importance of overseas box office to Hollywood is rising step by step.

“Star Wars Episode 1: Phantom Threat” undoubtedly occupies the position of the annual championship. Unfortunately, the film’s final global box office stopped at 983 million U.S. dollars, and it failed to break through the 1 billion threshold and create again. History, this is undoubtedly a huge regret.

The “Sixth Sense of Spirituality” followed closely, and the box office data of 890 million US dollars was enough to make it stand at the position of one person below 10,000 people; “Beautiful Mind” did not achieve further breakthroughs in overseas box office performance. Under the circumstances, it still occupied the third place, narrowly defeating “Toy Story 2” with a slight gap of 5 million US dollars, which also made the latter unfortunately slip to the third place.

In the top four rankings, the North American box office and the global box office have maintained a high degree of consistency, but there have been some changes since the fifth place.

“The Matrix”, “Tarzan”, “The Mummy”, “Notting Hill”, “007’s Black Sun Crisis (the…is… and “Powers Ace 2” occupy the fifth place respectively. The tenth place.

It can be seen that the two new faces of “Notting Hill” and “007 Black Day Crisis” rely on the outstanding performance of the European market, especially the enthusiastic response of the British market, which made these two works on the global box office. Occupy a higher position. The two works of “Dad Rushing Forward” and “Running Bride” with obvious American stigma were squeezed out of the top ten. Especially the former, comedies with distinctive American characteristics, are obviously difficult to achieve in the world. Do better.

From the perspective of the entire global year-end box office rankings, the commercial genre of the blockbuster era still dominates the mainstream. “Sixth Sense of Supernatural”, “Beautiful Mind” and “Notting Hill” are the only three different types of movies. They are Horror, plot, and love works, these three works can occupy a place in the global list, and it is even more commendable.

There is no doubt that Hugo is still the king of the year-end list. People have long been accustomed to this pattern. When the curtain fell on the last year of the twentieth century, looking back on these ten years, people suddenly discovered that Hugo Has become the most important label in the entire nineties, not one of them.

The same pattern has also appeared on the music charts. In fact, in the past year, Glory to Death has completely no activities, and even no singles have been released, but despite this, “Blurry Rain” has still become a spotlight. The focus, staying on the Billboard album charts for 172 consecutive weeks, is still sprinting for the top ten spots for consecutive weeks.

Throughout the 1990s, there was only one work on the album with more than 200 weeks on the chart: Nirvana’s “Don’t Mind”, which has been on the chart for a full 278 weeks until the beginning of 1998. , But this result can only be ranked twelfth in history. If you want to hit this record, “Blurry Rain” still has a long way to go.

The music market in 1999 showed unprecedented prosperity. The Backstreet Boys ushered in their peak period. After the album “Millennium Love ( was released in May, it sold half a million in the first week. Successfully obtained the 11th Platinum certification in December, and sold 11.3 million copies throughout the year. Then, Britney Spears turned out to be her debut album “Baby, Once Again (baby. One.). . Released on January 12, 1999 ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Finally, on December 9, 1999, the sales volume exceeded 10 million, and the annual sales volume was 10,500,000. , These two works have become the third and fourth works in the 1990s that can sell 10 million copies in a single year after the “storm and rain” and “double scene”.

The sales of the two albums exceeded 10 million in one year, which is absolutely an unprecedented prosperity. Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears ranked the year-end champion and runner-up respectively.

After them, Ricky Martin’s album of the same name achieved 7.3 million sales, ranking third at the end of the year; Santana (santana), soft crackers (.), Christina-Aguilera (.), combination All of his album sales exceeded 5 million, occupying the fourth to seventh places respectively.

Seven albums appeared on the year-end sales chart and sold more than 5 million copies. This almost created the peak of music history. It was an unimaginable result in any previous year, especially Backstreet Boys, Britney, and Christie The strong rise of the three idol singers of Na has changed the composition of the music market, allowing the proportion of popular music to rise further and dominate the entire market.

However, even in the face of menacing pop music, the upward momentum of rock has not diminished in the slightest. In addition to the **** band, many other rock bands have also begun to explode with amazing energy and occupy a place on the year-end list.
