Superstar

Charlize Theron, whose career is in a period of strong growth, also faced such a situation for the first time: his own works were against each other.

Last year, Charlize, Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves collaborated on the filming of "The Devil's Advocate". This work was invested and produced by Warner Bros. at a cost of 57 million U.S. dollars. It caused countless topics when the shooting started. : Two popular newcomers led by a veteran actor, the director is Taylor Hackford (.) who has directed "Tears of Tears (. and "The Officer and the Gentleman (an...and.a.gentleman, Naturally it is worth looking forward to.

"Devil's Advocate" and "L.A. Confidential" are both thrilling and suspenseful plot movies. Except for the heroine, the similar themes, the close cost, and the comparable cast lineup all make the "Devil" "Spoker" became the best candidate to stop the "L.A. Confidential" four consecutive championships this week.

Hugo and Al’s friendship naturally does not need to be repeated. "Smell the fragrance to know a woman" is the rise of Hugo after the Golden Raspberry Award. It has received a lot of support from Al, and the personal relationship between the two is also very good; and Hugo and Ji Two actors of similar ages are also competitors on many occasions, but Hugo's performance is too strong, and Keanu's own personality is not sharp, so the two do not have much overlap.

Therefore, everyone is looking forward to the results of "Devil's Advocate" this week, and also looking forward to the collision between this movie and "L.A. Confidential".

Another thriller and suspense movie "I know what you did last summer", but not too many people paid attention, 17 million US dollars investment, a group of budding young actors, an unknown director, the entire crew The most famous is Kevin Williamson (.) who wrote "Scream (.

It is difficult for this movie to attract more attention. The subject matter collides with "L.A. Confidential" and "Devil's Advocate", and it is more like a horror movie-less competitive; the cast is not topical, and there is no promotion period. Anything that shines, even the schedule selection is very exciting. Ambiguous-there are still two weeks before Halloween.

Naturally, this week all the media focused their attention on the "Devil's Advocate" and "L.A. Confidential" showdown. The latter wants to hit the US$200 million box office. This week is the last threshold, as long as the decline can be controlled. Within 30%, then relying on excellent long-term reputation, 200 million US dollars is almost no problem, and the former will become the biggest resistance.

This is really a very interesting thing, not to mention that Al sniped Hugo, just to say that Charlize himself sniped himself, it makes people laugh and cry, who can predict that Charlize’s first 200 million US dollar box office work, actually decided the right. Hold it in her own hand? And the problem is that she has no way to control the box office. Therefore, Charlize also seemed dumbfounded in the propaganda process of "Devil's Advocate".

After the announcement of the North American weekend box office rankings in the third week of October, everyone was surprised!

The word-of-mouth of "Devil's Spokesperson" is polarized. The San Francisco Chronicle gave a perfect score of 100, but the San Francisco Observer only gave 40 points. In the end, the media review only reached 60 points. Although it is basically the same as the "psychological game", it cannot be said to be a devastating result for the thriller and suspense film. The polarized comment is the expected result, but it still does not meet the psychological expectations. It is only 60 points. Can't meet people's expectations of Al, Keanu and Charlize.

This reminds people of the "wolf" starring Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer the previous year.

It is worth mentioning that, compared to the two male protagonists Keanu and Al, Charlize's performance has received unanimous praise from the media. "The New York Times" believes that "Although Charlize is still a bit jerky among the'Devil's Spokesperson' compared to the amorous and natural performances in'L.A. Confidential', the truth and pain of schizophrenia is rushing to the face. , Undoubtedly became the biggest highlight of the movie."

Two consecutive works won praise, and won a place in the group of men, Charlize instantly as if riding a rocket, rose rapidly to become today's hottest actress. Although Charlize does not currently have a hit at the box office, her acting prowess was recognized "before sunrise", and she was nominated for an Oscar for the first time that year; now two consecutive works have once again proved her prowess , Coupled with the innate advantages of excellent appearance, Charlize's future is limitless.

Of course, the box office of "L.A. Confidential" has made more people aware of Charlize with red lips.

Faced with such a bad evaluation, the box office of the "devil spokesperson" has not been able to produce a miracle. The data of 12 million US dollars in the autumn file is already very good. For thriller and suspense movies, it is also worthy of recognition, but this result is not. Just let it occupy the third place.

This is undoubtedly a surprise to everyone. Although the $12 million weekend box office has not been able to get one step closer, it is enough in the fall season-at least enough to occupy the back of the "L.A. Confidential" The runner-up, but the "Devil's Advocate" is only the second runner-up, what's the matter?

Looking up, the name "I know what you did last summer" suddenly appeared, which made almost everyone take a sigh of relief. This work without anyone paying too much attention has undoubtedly become this The biggest dark horse in the fall, with only 17 million US dollars in investment, but 16 million US dollars in box office data broke out during the premiere weekend, easily stealing all the sights of this week, which is staggering.

The media review of "I know what you did last summer" was quite satisfactory. A score of fifty-two is considered a passing grade for a horror film, but this film has aroused heated discussions among young people, because the film is about young people. The psychological horror that people experienced during the transitional period of growth aroused the resonance of many peers, and this was the reason why the box office of the premiere weekend* appeared.

According to box office statistics, the movie’s box office on Friday was not bad, but it did not surpass the "devil's spokesperson", but Saturday and Sunday ushered in an outbreak for two consecutive days, eventually not only surpassing the "devil's spokesperson", but also successfully ranked The top ten box office results in the premiere of the autumn film history, this is absolutely incredible, absolutely dark horse, shiny!

Although the "devil spokesperson" is not good at fighting, it still has a box office of 10 million at the weekend; "I know what you did last summer" is undoubtedly the biggest surprise. A result of 16 million U.S. dollars broke out, and there is even hope to shake the dominance of the "L.A. Confidential".

Two works worth $10 million have almost completely divided the deserted autumn market. This is undoubtedly an arduous test for the "L.A. Confidential"-this is also the norm since the movie was released, since the "Seven Deadly Sins" After achieving excellent results, the autumn file has also become lively, but "L.A. Confidential" can be said to be absolutely strong for the previous three consecutive championships. This week, although it is difficult, it is absolutely not afraid of challenges.

A 22% box office drop. This is the biggest drop in the four weeks since the release of "L.A. Confidential" and the biggest crisis in the four-week period of "L.A. Confidential". The final movie was won on the weekend of the third week of October in three days. With a box office of $17.1 million, with a slight advantage of just over one million, it overpowered "I know what you did last summer" and successfully won four consecutive championships. This is the first time since 1997 to complete the fourth. Consecutive works!

In the face of such strong competition, the box office crisis of "L.A. Confidential" was unavoidable, but the film still relied on a strong reputation and outstanding feedback, once again withstood the pressure and completed a beautiful blow. Although "L.A. Confidential" ushered in the biggest drop since its release this week, the drop was not only controlled within 30%, but it was also the second place in the box office of the fifth week of film history on weekends-still ranked "independent" After Japan, with such a result, there is nothing worth mentioning.

Relying on the strong performance in the fourth week, the cumulative box office of "L.A. Confidential" reached 166 million U.S. dollars in one fell swoop. After crossing the last threshold tremblingly-although it was not the "devil's spokesperson" that was defeated but "I know what you did last summer", nevertheless, the "L.A. Confidential" broke the box office record of the "Seven Deadly Sins" and made an impact. The momentum of 200 million US dollars has reached its peak. It is almost certain now that the film will make history firmly. All people need to do is to wait, waiting for the continuous influx of audiences into the cinema, and then create a new history of thriller and suspense movies!

Immediately after the fourth week of October, ~www.wuxiaspot.com~L.A. Confidential" once again surrendered a 23% drop in the box office, earning a box office of 13 million and one million US dollars, and the corresponding "I know what you did last summer" received $13.12 million with a box office drop of 18%. In the end, "I know what you did last summer" was 20,000 dollars. The weak advantage of the US dollar ended the four consecutive championships of "L.A. Confidential" and successfully won the North American weekend box office championship.

Because the gap was too weak, the exhibitor relationship had to be repeatedly confirmed three times, and finally came to the conclusion, "I know what you did last summer", with only 108,000 U.S. dollars, successfully won the October issue. The weekend box office laurels for four weeks has also become the record of the weakest championship and runner-up in film history. Although "L.A. Confidential" was defeated, it ended its box office journey in the last week of October in a win-win manner.

"The Devil's Advocate" dropped only 15% in the box office this week and performed very well. It can be seen that although the media reviews are not satisfactory, the audience's reputation is not bad, especially those who walk for Charlize. The audience of movie theaters began to grow rapidly, which saved some face for the movie's box office.

In the following week, "I know what you did last summer" completed the re-election of the championship, the dark horse style was revealed, and the "L.A. Confidential" quickly sprinted towards the shackles of history and sprinted again.
