Superstar

In fact, this happened as early as last year's "Interview with Vampires". Many media believe that Tom Cruise has dedicated his best performance of his career. The evil and gloomy image of a vampire has brought Tom's beauty to the fullest; But relatively speaking, Brad Pitt’s performance was stiff and vague. It was originally a role that played a larger space, but Brad’s interpretation was unremarkable, and Brad’s strong and clear image was also very different from the pale and fragile vampire. Far.

However, the gap between the two is not that huge, and "Interview with the Vampire" was originally a work supported by the beauty of the two male protagonists, so there was still a lot of praise about Brad at the time, which also made Brad Take advantage of the trend and reached a new career high.

Only this time the "seven deadly sins", Brad has no such good luck. The stark contrast with Hugo completely left Brad at a loss. In front of Hugo's excellent performance, Brad not only had no chance at all, but also completely exposed all his shortcomings and loopholes. It can be said that this is a duel that even the underwear has lost.

The "seven deadly sins" have also been considered by many media. This is a work where everyone sees the huge gap between Brad and Hugo. Nowadays, in terms of performance, it is already difficult for the male actors of the baby boom generation. Some people can stand on the same level as Hugo, including Tom Cruise, who was nominated for Oscar many years ago.

It can be seen from many media’s evaluations of acting skills that, regardless of the finished movie, the media also prevails over the movie with praise. This also makes audiences who have not watched the movie become more curious about the "seven deadly sins", and further Stimulated the audience to walk into the cinema.

There are praises, criticisms, discussions, ignorances... After the premiere of the "Seven Deadly Sins", a total of 22 professional film reviews were collected-this is after the "Los Angeles Times" film reviews appeared related. The number after the editorial was really a big surprise. In the end, the media comprehensive score of the "seven deadly sins" came to 75 points.

Seventy-five points, this score can be regarded as a surprise for a thriller and suspense movie, which means that more than two-thirds of the media have recognized the film.

It is worth mentioning that the thriller and horror movies that have always been unable to achieve good results in the audience's ratings, this time the "seven deadly sins" got a super high score of "b+" in the theater scores.

Because horror and horror movies are often too scary and affect the audience's rating psychology, and this type of movie is also easy to be shoddy, so there are not too many scores that can reach "b", but this time the "seven deadly sins" are after the premiere. Even once came to the incredible "a-", which made many people fall through their glasses.

However, young volcanoes accounted for most of the premiere, which also affected the objectivity of the score. Later, as more and more audiences entered the cinema, the audience score declined, but in the end they still got "b+". , It can be seen that the movie has been well received.

This situation is unexpected to many people. The horrifying and suspenseful nature of the "Seven Deadly Sins", the obstacles to the release of the cold schedule in September, the embarrassment and unhappiness between the reporter and Hugo, the fiasco of David Fincher’s directorial debut, The screenwriter’s name is unknown...All this seems to indicate that the prospect of the "Seven Deadly Sins" is clouded by a mist, but the storm that followed the movie's release left everyone in awe.

The first is that the film has been well received by the critics who have always been tricky. If it weren’t for the "Seven Deadly Sins" is the worst performance of Hugo's work since "Sleepless in Seattle"-the original "Sleepless in Seattle" media review With a score of 73 and a theater score of "b+", people even start to suspect that harsh and strict film critics have been subdued by Hugo.

Secondly, a film review by the "Los Angeles Times" actually kicked off a vigorous discussion on the territory of the United States, and even pushed the resistance in August to a brand new peak, so that it became a part of the presidential election next year. One of the important topics.

This is an unimaginable situation for any film. The "seven deadly sins" have risen from the level of a mere film work to a whole new level. They have become an important catalyst in the history of media transformation, and they will also work together. "Pulp fiction" is generally recorded in the annals of history solemnly.

Can anyone really expect such a situation? Even Hugo himself was completely dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

The "Seven Deadly Sins" are on the stage with such a rare opportunity!

Although September is a deserted period, it is intriguing that MGM invested 45 million US dollars to produce "Yan. Dance Girl ( and chose to premiere in the same week as "Seven Deadly Sins".

"Yan. Dancing Girl" is directed by the director of "Instinct. Ability" Paul Van Hoven (paul.). It is a mid-range investment, originally considered to have the potential to make a difference in the box office market. The same achievement as "instinct. Ability" can at least create a topic. However, it is a pity that after the internal screening, MGM was slapped with verbal criticism, so MGM broke the jar. In September, he randomly searched for a schedule and arranged it for release.

But the interesting part is here, they actually chose the same schedule as the "Seven Deadly Sins". Of course, this can also be understood as the deserted schedule in September, and any schedule is actually not much different. However, the two big crocodiles behind MGM and Xinxian Films make it hard not to think that Hugo rejected the "007" performance invitation.

However, "Yan. Dance Girl" only arranged 1,400 theaters to be screened. Compared with the 2,500 theaters of "Seven Deadly Sins", the momentum is more than a bit weaker. Maybe MGM really gave up this work.

Facts also proved that MGM had to give up. After the premiere of "Dance Girl", the media review only had 16 points and the theater score was only "c-", which can be said to be a complete defeat. It is almost impossible for such an achievement to make a difference in the face of the "seven deadly sins". I can only hope for the fragrance in the movie. The gorgeous scene attracted some audiences into the cinema.

It can be said without a doubt that the "Seven Deadly Sins" are released this week without any positive competitors. "Yan. Dancing Girl" is obviously lacking in confidence, and last week's defending champion "Yan Too Group Female (..., thanks.) Newmar) "Although they have completed two consecutive championships before, they only won 6.5 million championships. It is really difficult to form an effective confrontation.

What people care about now is how much box office can the "Seven Deadly Sins" get under such a boom? The six million dollars predicted by the New York Post? Or the record-breaking $13 million predicted by the Los Angeles Times?

But when the box office data for the fourth week of September came out, almost everyone was dumbfounded: The North American Theater Association's participation relationship (.) Is there any statistical error in the data?

The exhibitor relationship seems to have anticipated this situation a long time ago, and specially posted a corresponding announcement, emphasizing that the box office data this week has been repeatedly confirmed, and all the data is free of any errors. Everyone was completely stunned now!

Three thousand four hundred and ninety five thousand dollars!

What data is this? 34 million dollars? Is this definitely not a mistake? Is the determination of the exhibitor relationship a data that has been repeatedly confirmed? Isn't there something wrong with the statistical system, or some errors in the calculation process?

How incredible is the box office of the 34 million dollar movie? Just make a simple comparison. The most watched and most controversial movie in this summer, "Future Water World", was held in the last week of July. With the grand premiere ceremony, the film with an investment of 175 million U.S. dollars finally got a box office of 21 million U.S. dollars on the premiere weekend, and successfully won the North American box office champion in the last week of July.

34 million to 21 million, 30 million to 175 million investment, and more importantly, 34 million to win the championship easily even in the summer! But all this happened in the cold September, the September that nobody paid attention to, the September that everyone disliked!

Let’s make another set of data comparisons. It was released in October last year, and finally created countless miracles of "Pulp Fiction". The box office score of the premiere weekend was $16.8 million, and it eventually swept 172 million in North America. 10,000 US dollars; and last year’s summer file, it slammed the North American theater line for 239 million US dollars of "life and death per hour", and the premiere weekend score was 304.5 million US dollars.

So what is the box office of the premiere of "Seven Deadly Sins"?

34 million dollars!

This is not only a new record for Hugo’s personal premiere box office, it surpassed "Life and Death Hour" and "Sleepless in Seattle" in one fell swoop, refreshing the Hugo premiere box office data; but also with a shocking posture, undoubtedly It broke the new box office record for the September premiere ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and directly increased the original record by more than twice. Such a strong almost created an insurmountable height.

The fact is the same. The "Seven Deadly Sins" achieved a box office record of 34 million U.S. dollars. It was not until 2002, seven years later, that the "sweet... alabama" was awarded 3,560. Ten thousand dollars broke.

If the breakthrough of "Schindler's List" is due to its feedback and mourning for real historical events, the breakthrough of "Life and Death Speed" is due to its commercial popcorn film attributes, and the breakthrough of "Pulp Fiction" is due to its contribution to independent films. The earth-shaking subversion, these films received explosive repercussions at the box office, it is excusable, so the outbreak of the "seven deadly sins" is completely unexpected.

Such a movie without any gimmicks except for the confrontation between Hugo and Brad; such a movie that was questioned as a strange choice, Hugo left "Mission Impossible" and chose the "Seven Deadly Sins". It was even once considered to suspect that this was a spiteful choice; such a thriller and suspense film without any commercial potential has achieved one of the most incredible miracles in film history.

But this is how history was born! The $34 million premiere box office was so horrified that people could hardly control the trembling of their own body, and it was born.
