Chapter 1310: 1310

In the first week of October, all eyes were on the showdown between "The Last Assassin" and "The Seven Deadly Sins." Having said that, in fact, everyone knows that the victory of the "Seven Deadly Sins" is basically not suspenseful, but the problem is that the showdown between Hugo and Brad that people originally cared about dissipated like a wisp of green smoke, and there was no such thing as Anything worth the hype, and at the behest of Creative Artists Agency - to avoid further embarrassment, this topic has not been discussed further.

Therefore, the strength of the "Seven Deadly Sins" has become the only thing to watch. Under such circumstances, the emergence of "The Last Assassin" has caused a little fluctuation in the steady box office trend - not only has a strong background, but also has two thousand The release scale of 400 theaters is also enough to launch a strong challenge to the "Seven Deadly Sins". What people care about is not winning or losing, but how much impact the "Last Assassin" can bring to the "Seven Deadly Sins", and even whether it can turn itself into a "dark horse".

The "Last Assassin", which is widely regarded by people, has become a dark horse at this time. This is like a cold joke, but it really happened. However, the facts also prove that this view is justified.

Although "The Last Assassin" was released in 2,400 theaters, the box office in a single venue did not even cross the 4,000 threshold. As a result, it "only" handed over $9 million at the box office, which is obviously not enough impact.

There are comparisons to make a difference. This sentence has been vividly reflected in "The Last Assassin". The box office of 9 million US dollars is placed before "The Seven Deadly Sins", which is enough to rank among the top 20 box office premieres in the fall. Works, placed at any time in the past, can easily win the championship. Although the data is not outstanding, especially compared with the investment cost of 50 million US dollars, this premiere data is really unsatisfactory, but objectively speaking, 9 million is not too shabby, at least it is better than before. "The stats of winning the championship at six million are much better.

But putting the $9 million weekend box office figure in front of the $34 million premiere figure turns all the language into sophistry. Even if it is not compared with the opening box office of "Seven Deadly Sins", "The Last Assassin" is obviously not on the same level in the second and third weeks.

Under the fierce impact of "The Last Assassin", the "Seven Deadly Sins", which was further expanded, once again delivered an amazing answer, with a 15% drop and a weekend box office of 25.4 million US dollars. The excellent performance has completely continued the strength of the original "speed of life and death". Does "Seven Deadly Sins" really have to break through the 200 million threshold like "speed of life and death"?

Thriller and suspense movies are completely different from commercial action movies. The former is already struggling to break through 100 million at the box office, while the latter is difficult to break through 200 million at the box office, but 100 million at the box office can be seen everywhere. The appeal of the two in the North American box office market can be said to be Worlds apart.

So at the beginning, "Speed ​​of Life and Death" broke 200 million at the box office. Although it was surprising, it was still within the scope of common sense. But if the "seven deadly sins" reached this threshold, it would be completely shocking!

"Seven Deadly Sins" was released for three weeks, and it not only occupied the runner-up position in the box office history rankings in the third week, closely following "Jurassic Park"; at the same time, the cumulative box office in three weeks also officially broke the threshold of 100 million, reaching 100 million in one fell swoop Zero three million dollars! In this way, a series of records created by "Silence of the Lambs" will be replaced. This is the result without any doubt. Now what people need to look forward to is: Where will the final box office of "Seven Deadly Sins" go, thriller and suspense movie Can it really reach the 200 million threshold?

The cumulative box office of "Seven Deadly Sins" in the third week of its release directly exceeded 100 million US dollars. At the same time, the weekend box office once again handed over 20 million levels of data. The 9 million US dollars of "The Last Assassin" was beaten with no temper at all.

The North American box office in the first week of October came to an end without any suspense. "Seven Deadly Sins" easily achieved three consecutive championships, and "Final Assassin" ranked runner-up. In addition, the weekend box office of other works still did not exceed five. million.

In the absence of any competitors, the box office trend of "Seven Deadly Sins" has completely shown a destructive attitude. Other movies are not even qualified for confrontation, let alone confrontation.

In the second week of October, "Seven Deadly Sins" grabbed $21 million at the box office with a 17% box office drop, surpassing $20 million for four consecutive weeks, which also tied the history created by "Speed ​​of Life" Records, but interestingly, "Seven Deadly Sins" beat "Jurassic Park" in its fourth week of box office numbers, but still came in runner-up, while the fourth-week box-office record holder was "Life and Death."

It can be seen from this horizontal comparison data that "Seven Deadly Sins" is still in a state of exhaustion. "Life and Death" was one step ahead, but by the fourth week, "Seven Deadly Sins" could not maintain its advantage, and even fell behind "Life and Death" by nearly $2 million at the box office during the same period.

The gap is gradually revealed, which also shows the innate gap between thriller and suspense movies and commercial action movies in terms of genres. It's like "Pulp Fiction" has a huge momentum, but in the end the box office has not been able to cross the threshold of 200 million. Due to the inherent disadvantage of subject matter, "Seven Deadly Sins" has created four consecutive weeks of glory by taking advantage of social changes and cultural waves. This has been very impressive. It is rare. As for whether the 200 million threshold can be crossed in the future, only the film market will give the answer.

Although the cumulative box office of "Seven Deadly Sins" during the same period was almost the same as "Speed ​​of Life and Death", it initially showed a decline. However, in the fourth week of its release, it handed over a 17% drop and a weekend box office of 21 million, ranking second in film history. This is still an incredible achievement. It can be said that the strength of the "Seven Deadly Sins" simply cannot find an opponent.

Except for "Seven Deadly Sins" this week, the box office of all other works is less than 6 million. The gap can be said to be very different. The autumn file has become the thriving "Seven Deadly Sins".

In the third week of October, with a 20% box office drop, "Seven Deadly Sins" once again captured $17 million at the box office. This result successfully achieved the first five consecutive championships in 1995! It surpassed the four consecutive championships of "Apollo 13" in the summer season, created another new peak, and made "Seven Deadly Sins" occupy a very important seat in the annual movie market.

This week's runner-up "Get. Shorty" performed well, the $30 million comedy starring John Travolta and Gene Hackman, and it went viral after its release. It was well received, and not only received a lot of praise, but also won a weekend box office of 12 million US dollars, becoming the second film in the past seven weeks except "Seven Deadly Sins". A masterpiece with a million threshold.

Of course, this "excellent performance" is only relative. If the premiere box office of "Short Man" is placed in front of the data of any week in the past four weeks of "Seven Deadly Sins", it will be eclipsed by the data, it can only be said to be short The tallest among them, and relative to its 30 million investment, released in the fall, the box office data of "Short Man" is still worthy of commendation.

But the only focus of this week is still the "Seven Deadly Sins". There is no doubt that with the five consecutive championships in the bag, the "Seven Deadly Sins" this week also officially surpassed the box office data of 154 million US dollars. The "Silence of the Lambs" made $130 million, becoming the new box office champion of serial killer movies and thriller and suspense movies!

Although this is a suspense, but in the face of the absolute strength of the "Seven Deadly Sins" in the first five weeks, it can hardly be said to be a suspense, because the "Seven Deadly Sins" is almost a sprint and completed in just five weeks. The transcendence of "Silence of the Lambs", such a strong performance, almost killed the suspense in the cradle for the first time.

No matter what people think of "The Seven Deadly Sins" in the future, there is no doubt that its achievements at the box office are unsurpassed. "The Seven Deadly Sins" not only surpassed "The Silence of the Lambs", but also became part of film history. One of the coordinates of the film, the box office record it created has not been surpassed until 2014, and it has always been the champion of serial killer works in the history of film, which is out of reach.

As a thriller and suspense movie that is not very popular at the box office, "Seven Deadly Sins" not only set a benchmark and created countless records, but more importantly, proved that this type of movie also has box office potential. At this point, "Seven Deadly Sins" Sins," along with "Pulp Fiction," "Schindler's List," and "Sleepless in Seattle," have all left their mark on the history of their respective genres.

From this perspective, in the 1990s, when classic masterpieces gathered, Hugo also quietly used his method to become an irreplaceable coordinate of American film culture and social culture in the 1990s!

It can be seen from this week's box office list that "Short Man" has shown an impact that "The Last Assassin" does not have. Although the impact is still limited, at the same time, "Seven Deadly Sins" has been released for more than five weeks. , and inevitably began to go down, which has nothing to do with the film itself, but is determined by the scope of the film market itself.

Faced with such a situation, people are speculating about whether there will be a change of dynasty in the North American box office rankings in the next week. After all, in the third week of October, the advantage of the 17 million of the "Seven Deadly Sins" over the 12 million of the "Short" is not so obvious. Of course, the initiative is still in the hands of the "Seven Deadly Sins" of.

For the first time in the past five weeks, the number one position in the box office chart has been suspenseful -- a little bit of suspense, and when the box office charts were announced in the fourth week of October, "Seven Deadly Sins" still continued its strong momentum. It won the box office of 12 million US dollars in three days, defeated the outstanding "Short Man", and once again won the championship this week, which also made the "Seven Deadly Sins" champion for the sixth consecutive week!

Six consecutive championships! The "Seven Deadly Sins" continued the sweeping trend of its own destruction with a perfect posture!
