"The Hangover earned US$3279 million in the second weekend, ranking No. [-] in the weekend box office rankings in North America!" --- "Entertainment Weekly"

""The Hangover" made $5279 million in the second week, and the cumulative box office has successfully exceeded [-] million!" --- "Los Angeles Times"

""The Hangover" broke 12 million box office in 18 days, becoming the [-]th film in North America to break [-] million at the box office this year!"--"San Francisco Chronicle"

……

After the release of "The Hangover", word-of-mouth has ushered in a major reversal. The media, film critics, IMDB and tomato online scores have far exceeded previous expectations.

Especially after the unexpected box office win in the first week, everyone is more optimistic about the box office of "The Hangover". It is generally believed that "The Hangover" will become one of the most successful R-rated comedies in North American film history.

The fact is the same, the box office of "The Hangover" in the second week is still strong enough!

北美周末票房排行榜（2004年12月3日-2004年12月5日）：

No. 1, "The Hangover", released for 12 days, 3279 million US dollars, Tianchi Films, cumulative box office 10965 million US dollars, 3200 theaters;
No. 2, "National Treasure", released for 17 days, 1714 million US dollars, Disney, with a cumulative box office of 11258 million US dollars, 3286 theaters;
No. 3, "Escape from Christmas", released for 12 days, 1177 million US dollars, Sony Columbia, with a cumulative box office of 3220 million US dollars, and 2842 theaters;
No. 4, "The Polar Express", released for 24 days, 1102 million US dollars, Warner Bros., with a cumulative box office of 10520 million US dollars, 3200 theaters;
No. 5, "The Incredibles", 24 days of release, 916 million US dollars, Disney, cumulative box office 7596 million US dollars, 3052 theaters;
……

Relying on its good reputation, "The Hangover" managed to control its box office decline in the next week, only 24%, which is undoubtedly an exceptionally good result.

At the same time, with the box office of 5279 million US dollars in the next week, the box office of "The Hangover" has successfully exceeded 2004 million, becoming the 18th film in North America in [-] with a box office of over [-] million!

This number is quite auspicious!

"The Hangover" broke 12 million in two weeks, to be precise, in 2 days, which surprised the media, because if you look at "The Hangover" in its current form, its final box office is likely to exceed [-] million US dollars!
If the box office of "The Hangover" really reaches 2 million, it will become the second highest-grossing R-rated comedy in North American film history, second only to "Beverly Hills Cop" released in 1984 with 2.34 million US dollars!
There is no doubt that "The Hangover" will definitely leave a strong mark in the North American R-rated comedy!
Also, what's interesting about this list is that there aren't any new films in the top five!
Because at this time, it has already entered the Christmas season in the United States, and it also means the arrival of the North American awards season.

Many films aimed at Oscars have already begun to be released at the pace of Oscars. After all, if you want to win an Oscar, it does not mean that the film is good enough!
The representative film is "Stealing Heart", which was released on a small scale last week!
It was screened in 476 theaters and achieved a good result of 770 million US dollars. It directly entered the sixth place in the ranking list.
As soon as "Stealing Heart" was released, it achieved great success with a strong star cast and good reputation. In fact, it is stepping on a steady pace, in order to cooperate with the arrival of the Oscar season.

In this week's 2004 list of the most critically acclaimed films, "Stealing Heart" ranked third after "Neverland" and "The Aviator".

In addition, the box office of the historical masterpiece "Alexander the Great" has been bleak since its release. It only collected 470 million US dollars last weekend, nearly two-thirds less than the first week.

Since the 1.5-day release of this epic blockbuster with an investment of 12 million US dollars, the cumulative box office has only been 2970 million US dollars, and the lost underwear is almost gone!

Another point is that Guoshi's "House of Flying Daggers" has also started a small-scale release in North America this week.

The total revenue of the 15 theaters was 41.7 US dollars, and the average box office was 2.78 US dollars, which is quite good!

……

The box office of "The Hangover" successfully exceeded [-] million US dollars in the next week, and it also allowed Chen Hao to successfully break through [-] million US dollars at the North American box office for three consecutive times.
North American media are now scrambling to interview this young director whom they questioned before!
Chen Hao did not refuse this, on the one hand, he wanted to see if the faces of the media who questioned him were interesting, and on the other hand, he wanted to promote the movie.

Apart from "The Hangover", the movie that Chen Hao wants to promote mainly focuses on "The Man With No Surname" which will premiere in North America on December 12th, which is this Friday!
In order to cater for the North American awards season that has already come, "Man Without a Surname" must be released, otherwise it is likely to miss the Golden Globes like last year's "District [-]"!

"Chen, you are amazing. I watched "The Hangover" and it almost killed me laughing!" The beautiful host laughed loudly, her chest swelled with the shaking of her delicate body.

As a senior fan, Chen Hao stared blankly for a while and said, "Then my goal has been achieved!"

"I'm curious, why is it so good when you're shooting a comedy for the first time?" The beauty host noticed Chen Hao's gaze, raised her brows, and there was more complacency and deep meaning in her eyes.

"A lot of plots in the movie are personal experiences, of course they are slightly enlarged. In addition, many dialogues were thought up by the entire crew. This is the wisdom and credit of the crew as a whole!" Chen Hao laughed.

""The Hangover" has already exceeded 2 million, and it should become your highest-grossing movie. Now many people are speculating whether the box office of "The Hangover" can exceed [-] million. What do you think?" The beautiful host decided to come controversial topic.

"I think it should be possible!" Chen Hao laughed.

Originally, I wanted to say something that should surpass "Beverly Hills Cop", but after thinking that "The Hangover" was hot enough, I shut up.

"Wow, it seems that you are very confident, Chen, I like confident men!" the beauty host pointed out.

Chen Hao glanced at the host when he heard the words, and tilted his head with a look of honor!

Seeing this, the beautiful host smiled even sweeter, and then decided to give Chen Hao some sweetness, "I heard you have a movie coming out this week?"

Chen Hao smiled when he heard the words, and he really hit the road, "Yes, it's a Chinese science fiction movie "Man with No Surname"!"

"A sci-fi movie? Chen's sci-fi movie, that's really exciting!" The beautiful host praised her with anticipation.

"Haha, I promise I won't disappoint everyone." Chen Hao laughed.

……

After the interview, Chen Hao shook hands with the host to bid farewell. After coming out, Chen Hao glanced at the note in his hand and hesitated!
To, or not to, that is the question!

……

The time has come to December 12th, and "Man Without a Surname" is officially released in 10 theaters in North America!
This release scale broke the North American theater opening record for a Chinese-language film held by "Hero"!
In addition, Chen Hao is now very popular in North America, and "Man with No Surname" is a science fiction film. Although it is a Chinese film, its box office is still somewhat expected.

Previously, the North American box office record of Chinese films shot by Chen Hao was "Moon" at US$976 million, and this time it will obviously increase this record by a large margin!

Soon, the time came to December 12th, a new week is coming!
The North American box office rankings are also freshly released!

　Thanks to "I am 1875" for the 10000 rewards, and "Sweet Mi Tang Poetry" for the 100 rewards!
