With less than two weeks to go before the annual Halloween, horror movies are starting to be released one after another, but these small-budget thriller horror movies have not been able to shake the supremacy of "gravity" in October, which also means that the film has taken another solid step towards making history to new heights.

In the third week of October, three films were released in more than 1,500 theaters.

First of all, a new remake of the classic 1976 horror film "Carrie the Witch" officially premiered, starring Chole-Grace-Moretz, who was widely known for her role in "King Haibian", and Julianne Moore with an investment of $30 million.

This is followed by Disney's first wave of the awards season this season, "WikiLeaks", starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Daniel Bruch, who has just received critical acclaim in "Speed/Stream", focusing on Julian-Paul-Assange, the founder of "WikiLeaks".

Finally, the action blockbuster "Golden Cicada Shell", although the film investment cost is only 50 million, but the appeal of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger should not be underestimated, and the reason why they chose the autumn file instead of the summer file is because Lionsgate hopes to fight a bloody way in the off-season.

It's a pity that the word-of-mouth of the three works has all hit the streets, and it is the kind that is miserable.

Even the "WikiLeaks" that hit the awards season has a freshness index of only 37% on the Rotten Tomatoes website, which is simply scolded under the expectations of the dog, but the 50% freshness index of "Golden Cicada Shelling" is more outstanding, but this is to no avail, the ratings of all three works failed to pass, and the major film critics are wailing.

The opening weekend box office of "Carrie the Witch" was 16 million, the opening weekend box office of "Golden Cicada Shell" was 9.8 million, and the opening weekend box office of "WikiLeaks" was only 1.6 million.

Among them, the investment cost of "WikiLeaks" is 28 million, and it is considered one of the most important works of this year's awards season in the preparation stage, and Benedict is also likely to hit the Oscar nomination, but now it has suffered a devastating blow, from word-of-mouth to box office, all red, like blood.

The box office data of the three works are all superimposed, and they still can't shake the box office champion status of "gravity"! They haven't even been able to launch an effective impact, and the entire market is still firmly maintained by "gravity", so the entire North American market has collectively witnessed the film's persistent efforts and rising feats!

Thirty-eight percent!

The box office drop in the third week of "Gravity" was only 38 percent, which is slightly lower than the 36 percent of "Spider-Man" in the same period, and slightly lower than the 41 percent of "Shrek 2" in the same period, and the 43 percent of "Batman: The Dark Knight" can also be compared side-by-side.

That's frightening enough, but that's not all.

The premise is that "Gravity" performed better at the box office in the first week and the next week, and now it is getting closer to the historical record step by step under the cover of the strong firepower of the box office decline in the third week.

In the third week of its release, "Gravity" won 60 million box office data over the weekend, ranking second only to "Avatar" in the same period of 68.5 million in the entire history. Previously, the box office in the first week was eighth, the box office in the second week was second, and the box office in the third week was still second.

So, what does this mean exactly?

Is it true that "gravity" is going to break $700 million in North America in history?

Just imagining it in my mind, all the news media began to get excited, and no one could have predicted that the original "Avatar" would reach such a height, and it can even be said that it was shocking, so why can't "gravity" now? After all, this movie now has all the conditions to make history.

At this moment, people are only aware of the fact that last year's "Edge of Tomorrow" achieved 550 million in North America, which has proved the strong market appeal of Lanli, and this year, Lanli alone took the lead in the "gravity" of the beam, and further impacted North America 600 million or even 700 million, why not?

Now there is no doubt, through two starring commercial films, Lan Li has proved his unique market appeal, he has faintly begun to surpass Robert Downey Jr., showing the posture of the first person in North America, Hollywood seems to be finally starting to change?

In the third week of October, "Gravity" relied on the weekend box office of 60 million US dollars, without any suspense, to complete the strong triple crown feat of the autumn file, and pushed the cumulative box office of its three weeks of release to 390 million in one go, and now it is only one step away from 400 million, and now it is basically possible to determine the level of 500 million in North America.

Behind "Gravity", "Captain Phillips" ranked second, and it has won 52 million box office in two weeks after its release, which is basically the same as the investment cost value, which also means that the film's awards season strategy is the right choice, the box office and awards can be grasped with both hands, and both hands are hard, and Sony Columbia Pictures' dangerous chess has achieved results.

After that, "Carrie the Witch", "Heavenly Food 2", and "Prisoner" ranked third to fifth, respectively.

In the following week, the North American market was still accumulating, but the Halloween craze was already faintly felt, with the premieres of "Foolish Funny Show 4" and "Black Gold Killer" in more than 3,000 theaters.

"Stupid Funny Show 4" is a typical spoof show derivative, that is, someone is playing a prank on the street, such as someone suddenly cutting off their right hand, in fact, it is just a trick, but there is a camera next to it that truly records the reaction of ordinary passers-by, and then creates laughter for the audience, and now it has been filmed into a movie. There is not much of a story, it is actually a comedy of pseudo-documentary.

But the series was able to come to the fourth part, which shows the popularity. In 2010, the "Foolish Funny Show 3D" grossed 50 million in its opening weekend, which was the runner-up at the box office for the autumn debut, and the cumulative box office reached 117 million, while the production cost was only 20 million.

"Black Gold Killer" is the highlight of the week, directed by Ridley Scott, who has directed "Alien", "Gladiator", "Black Hawk Down", and "Blade Runner", although the investment cost is only 25 million, it is a star-studded group - including Michael Fassbinder, Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz and other top actors.

The screenplay is based on Cormac-McCarthy, the Pulitzer Prize-winning winner who has been one of the most popular film adaptations, most famously for 2008's "No Country for Old Men," which won the following year's Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director. "Black Gold Killing" is Comack's fourth work to be adapted and filmed.

Undoubtedly, "Black Gold Killing" is aimed at the awards season, but it also has a certain box office capacity, and the reference objects are "New York Gangsters", "Classic Cars", "No Country for Old Men" and other works, so Twentieth Century Fox arranged a grand premiere and held a large-scale and large-scale public screening in 3,000 theaters, looking forward to being able to kill all the way to the awards season.

But......

Twentieth Century Fox is doomed to disappointment, and the "Black Gold Killer" has followed in the footsteps of "WikiLeaks", with only 35 percent of the Rotten Tomatoes freshness index already so that no one can recognize it, and even the Rotten Tomatoes freshness index of "Foolish Funny Show 4" has 60 percent!

The box office data also proves this, the box office of "Black Gold Killing Machine" is only 2,500, and it has received 7.8 million US dollars in three days over the weekend, basically announcing the tragic fate of missing the awards season.

Since 2007's "American Gangsters", Ridley has failed four consecutive productions, "Body of Lies," "Robin Hood," "Prometheus," and "Black Gold Killing."

Of course, strictly speaking, "Prometheus" just fell below expectations at the box office, but word-of-mouth still managed to win the love of many veteran fans. However, purely in terms of box office data and awards season prospects, these four works are unsatisfactory, which has also triggered countless lamentations in the industry, "Lian Po is old, can he still eat?"

In stark contrast to the box office explosion of "Fool Funny Show 4", which earned 32 million in its opening weekend, compared to the ultra-low investment of 15 million, Paramount, which is responsible for production and distribution, has once again achieved profitability, and if you add the "Smart: Ghost Record" series, which is also produced and distributed by Paramount, they have now become experts in sneaking up on the box office in the off-season.

In the face of the impact of "Stupid Funny Show 4", "Gravity" still showed its strong demeanor, delivering less than 40% of the excellent box office for the second consecutive week, only 37%, and earned 38 million box office data in three days over the weekend, defeating the opponent with an advantage of nearly 6 million, successfully achieving four consecutive championships in the autumn stalls, and dominating the North American box office for the whole October.

By the way, this is the first weekend of the 2013 North American Film Market to win four consecutive titles!

One could say that it was because the competition in the autumn season was not fierce enough, and one could also say that it was because "gravity" did not meet the impact of the same type of film...... But no matter what the reason is, this movie still created its own miracle, and at this point, the position of the annual box office champion of "Iron Man 3" has officially given way to "gravity"!

Now, everyone can't help but wonder who can stop "gravity"? Will it still be able to achieve five consecutive championships? More importantly, is it really ready to hit 600 million and 700 million at the box office?
