Chapter 44
The low-key release of "Juno" in North America cannot stop the film's momentum.

From the initial small-scale release in 16 cinemas, the film critics were restless, and then sporadic audiences praised the film after watching it.

An unknown movie with no prior publicity gradually became popular in North America.

Especially among teenagers, a hurricane called the "Juno effect" is blowing rapidly.

One week after its release, Juno's theaters have increased from 16 at the beginning to more than 400, covering large and medium-sized cities in North America.

And the increase in the number of screens has brought about an explosive growth in the number of moviegoers!
"Juno, an amazing movie!"

"When sex is related to teenagers, it is more likely to arouse public disgust, but "Juno" very cleverly shifts the audience's attention to thinking about teenagers' growth, love and responsibility!"

"Clear and clean music, warm and bright sunshine, rendering a cool youth, although this is a movie that explores "taboo" topics, but I have to say, the filming is great!"

"Gosh, I've never met a girl as cool as Juno!"

"I really like the girl who plays Juno. Is her name Scarlett Johansson? She will be my muse from now on!"

"The soundtrack in the movie is so good, every song can bring people a happy mood, why didn't the original sound CD come out, I really need it!"

"I want to get pregnant too! It's cool to be like Juno..."

Good movies always shine.

Although it only earned a box office of more than 300 million U.S. dollars in the first week, in the second week of its release, "Juno" relied on the scale of its release in less than a thousand theaters in North America, but it took in a weekly box office of 1200 million U.S. dollars. Top 5 in this week's box office list!
On the Internet, a hurricane called the "Juno Effect" is raging mercilessly!

Reviews of this film were very polarizing.

Teenagers, mainly girls, regardless of gender, after watching this movie, they all focus on Juno, thinking that Juno is so cool and unusual.

Girls can’t wait to imitate Juno, imitate her behavior, imitate her sharp teeth and sharp mouth. Juno’s famous quotes from countless movies are all on their lips and quoted everywhere on the Internet.

The boys fell madly in love with Juno. Such a girl who is completely different from the popular "American sweetheart girl" in today's society is simply too attractive.

Countless adolescent boys want to have a girl as cool as Juno.

As a result, girls in North America have become even more crazy and admire everything about Juno. Even early pregnancy is no longer something to talk about. On the contrary, there are still many girls aged sixteen or seventeen who are eager to try it and want to To imitate Juno.

This is of course not a good phenomenon, and it also makes the middle-aged people in North America feel disgusted with this movie.

In order to criticize and curb this unhealthy trend, they also found various times and opportunities to go to the cinema to learn about the movie.

Then, they were also conquered by this movie.

But what they like is not Juno, what they like is what this movie wants to convey, which is to teach children what is responsibility and what is love!
Most middle-aged groups, both male and female, prefer Brick in the movie.

To be honest, in the United States, the proportion of single-parent families is really very high, and most of them are single mothers.

You ask where dad went?
Of course I ran away irresponsibly.

Therefore, these middle-aged people who have experienced this kind of thing highly admire the "perfect" love shown in the "Juno" movie.

Mothers feel that it would be great if they could meet a man like Brick when they were young, who could learn to shoulder the responsibility and take care of the family.

Dads, on the other hand, think that the image of a man shown in "Juno" is also the perfect man template in the hearts of most American men. Although they may not be able to do it, it doesn't mean they don't like this image.

The screen image, in fact, is the most perfect part of ordinary people's hearts.

Different from the original version of "Juno", although Wu Yuan's version of "Juno" is more Asian, it also opened up the pattern.

The original "Juno" only attracted teenagers under the age of 20. They thought Juno's behavior was cool and pregnancy was cool, and they even tried to imitate it.

But Wu Yuan's version of "Juno" is different. It not only attracts teenagers, but also middle-aged people with mature experience. From this movie, they can see what they once imagined in their hearts, the perfection of family and love. Own.

Ever since, the box office of "Juno" began to explode in the fourth week of its release.

In the fourth week of its release, 2200 theaters across the United States simultaneously screened "Juno", and the number of theaters is increasing every day.

It's a pity that in the fourth week of Juno's release, New Line's "Rush Hour 2" was also released.

Cheng Long established his status in Hollywood with "Rush Hour", and this time "Rush Hour 2" is coming with even greater momentum!
When the pair of Cheng Long + Chris Tucker returns again, the international chapter also joins in!
The menacing "Rush Hour 2" took in a box office of 6680 million US dollars in North America in the first week of its release. While winning the box office championship this week, it also broke Cheng Long's first-week box office record in Hollywood. Pushed to the position of a real first-line international superstar.

Under the threat of such a fierce "Rush Hour 2", even if "Juno" ushered in a box office hit in North America this week, it could only be ranked second on the weekly box office list with a box office of 4832 million US dollars.

Under the siphon effect of these two films, the box office of other films in the same period has plummeted.

In the fifth week of its release, "Juno" still managed to earn a box office of 3682 million US dollars. Although it is still not as good as "Rush Hour", any North American film company knows that "Juno" has created a legend!

Judging from the current box office trend, it should be no problem for "Juno" to exceed 1000 million at the box office in North America, and the investment of this film is less than [-] million US dollars!

Fox Searchlight, which produced and distributed this movie, has never made such a blockbuster movie since its establishment!
Everything about "Juno" exploded in North America.

Scarlett Johansson, who played Juno, quickly became popular in North America and became a guest on major TV programs, and her work mailbox was filled with various drama appointments.

Chris Evans is not bad either. His Brick has become the perfect lover in the minds of countless North American girls, and has captured a large number of girl fans. There are also countless campus-type movies looking for him, hoping to invite him starring.

And Wu Yuan, who single-handedly created the movie "Juno" and created a dark horse at the box office, cannot be ignored.

As the director and screenwriter of this film, as the soul of this film, all information about Wu Yuan was dug up by the Hollywood media.

Wu Yuan, who was not well-known in Hollywood a month ago, has become one of the most sought after directors in Hollywood a month later.

The original script written and directed by himself has a box office of over [-] million in North America.

Any director who can do these two things at the same time will be regarded as a guest of honor by all Hollywood film companies.

Disney, [-]th Century Fox, Universal, Paramount, Warner, Sony Columbia, and the Big Six in Hollywood were all present, and Wu Yuan was quickly contacted by various means.

There is no Hollywood film company that does not want Wu Yuan, the Chinese director who created the myth of a small-budget counterattack!
In August 2001, Wu Yuan was born and became very popular in Hollywood.
