Chapter 1312 1312 Overseas Box Office
As a thriller and suspense movie, and it is also a serial killer movie with obvious social attributes, the overseas box office of "Seven Deadly Sins" is not favored by people.
In fact, it can be seen from the overseas box office of several Hugo works in the past. The overseas box office performance of "Pulp Fiction", which reflects the US's own social attributes and drawbacks, and "Pulp Fiction" that reflects American history and culture are very good. To make breakthroughs against the sky is often limited; "Schindler's List", which focuses on World War II and Jews, ushered in a big outbreak in Europe and achieved incredible achievements; but all Hugo's works have the highest overseas box office. What is outstanding is the "speed of life and death", a simple and rude popcorn commercial film without any regional cultural color.
Hollywood movies have unparalleled appeal on a global scale, but for Hollywood movies, the difference in overseas box office can still show the value orientation of overseas markets. Some movies are flowers that bloom inside the walls, some movies don't understand the beauty of North America from overseas, and some movies are sweeping the eight wastes without distinction.
This is one of the reasons why Hollywood has always been fond of commercial popcorn movies, because even if the North American box office performance is mediocre, overseas markets can often turn the tide.
Judging from an objective analysis of the film "Seven Deadly Sins", whether it is the subject matter or American cultural attributes, it is indeed not very suitable for overseas markets. In particular, the reason why "Seven Deadly Sins" was able to achieve a box office of nearly 200 million US dollars in North America, everyone knows clearly: in the past two months, the entire American society has launched a verbal attack on the news media, and the "Los Angeles Times" The promotion became the fuse, which allowed the "Seven Deadly Sins" to create an incredible record.
The problem, however, is that the rebellion caused by the young volcano is limited to North America and has not spread overseas. In other words, the social indifference and social problems reflected in the "Seven Deadly Sins" do not exist in other countries.
Therefore, the overseas box office prospects of "Seven Deadly Sins" are indeed worrying.
After the release of "Seven Deadly Sins" in the North American market, the overseas distribution rights of New Line Film Company have not been sold for a long time. Within nearly a month, only the American market has released this work, and other countries and regions have not released it. All this seems to be Confirmed the fears people had about the film.
But people have overlooked one point. Although the "Seven Deadly Sins" has been linked to the media because of the "Los Angeles Times", it has evolved into a social wave; but this point aside, the movie "Seven Deadly Sins" itself reflects the The problem of social indifference is not just a matter of the United States. In South America, Eastern Europe and other countries with slightly chaotic social order, the same social problem cannot be ignored, including post-war Germany, where social development is relatively stable. In places like France and the UK, similar social problems have gradually become hidden dangers.
In other words, this is a worldwide problem that almost every country is bound to face in the process of development. The indifference of society leads to the breeding of crime, and in the face of crime, the distrust between people begins to increase, which further leads to indifference, forming a vicious circle, which gradually evolves into a serious social problem and begins to corrode people's values and worldviews . This is bad for society as a whole.
In addition, the North American continent has launched a denunciation of the uncrowned king. In this era where the whole world can be closely connected, although it has not yet reached the level of intimacy as the Internet, the problems faced by the traditional news industry seem to be similar. The world has also begun to reflect because of the changes in the United States. Even if it is not as violent as the United States, it has at least caused discussion.
Therefore, when the "Seven Deadly Sins" swept across North America with a devastating trend, the aftermath also began to gradually ferment in various countries with the advancement of time.
The first countries and regions to feel the influence of the "Seven Deadly Sins" overseas radiation are Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea, which have always had close relations with the United States, Germany, which has been slowly rebuilding after reunification, and South Africa, Brazil, and the Netherlands, whose social problems cannot be ignored. Hungary, Austria and other countries.
After witnessing the first month of "The Seven Deadly Sins" sweeping across the country, these countries began rolling out "The Seven Deadly Sins" in November.
Aside from social reflection, the film "Seven Deadly Sins" is also a very intriguing film in itself, especially the reversal of the ending and the reveal of the murderer are full of suspense and excitement, which is also an attraction for the audience. After the audience finished enjoying the movie, the reflection in their minds slowly spread, and the whole influence gradually began to expand.
Then, in December, January and February of the following year, various countries and regions around the world began to release the film one after another, especially after the "Seven Deadly Sins" created incredible brilliance in North America, the attraction to overseas markets was again. After going up two steps, New Line Films finally successfully achieved distribution and release in 54 countries and regions around the world.
Under such slow progress and fermentation, the overseas box office of "Seven Deadly Sins" actually fell below everyone's glasses again, and unbelievable energy erupted in various countries and regions around the world.

They surpassed the British Isles and occupied the top two overseas box offices. Japan collected 47 million US dollars, and France also received 43 million US dollars. The hesitation is not just beyond expectations, it is completely the same violent mode as North America.

This situation has made many box office professionals incomprehensible, and many media have also conducted corresponding investigations around the world. Although it is said that the social discussion and reflection triggered by the "Seven Deadly Sins" have a strong impetus, the explosiveness of the overseas market. Compared with North America, there is still a gap. So, what is the reason for such an incredible explosion at the overseas box office of "Seven Deadly Sins"?
