With a comprehensive rating of 77 points from the media, "Sin City" handed over a satisfactory answer. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If you compare the same type of works horizontally, "Kill Bill 1" has 69 points, "Kill Bill 2" has 83 points, "Seven Deadly Sins" has 65 points, and "A Clockwork Orange" has 78 points. It can be seen that "Sin City" is somewhere between "A Clockwork Orange" and "Kill Bill 1", especially considering the absurd sight of 100 and 0 points flying together, this statistic is even more incredible.

At the same time, Rotten Tomatoes' mass media also voiced their opinions, with an incredible 245 media outlets uploading their scores, which once again proved the extent of the attention that Sin City has received, whether it is because of Lance's appeal or the impact of the huge publicity campaign of the past month.

Among the 245 media, 190 gave Fresh Tomatoes a good rating, and only 55 media voted for Rotten Tomatoes, with a positive rating of 78 percent and an average score of 7.4 points.

On the other hand, neither the theater score nor the IMDB score had much value in the opening weekend, as the number of viewers was very limited so far and will inevitably fluctuate in the future due to the increase in the number of viewers. But even so, these two scores are showing a positive trend so far.

The theater score reached "B+", of which the popcorn index reached 82%, and on the whole, the audience still affirmed in the criticism, which once again coincided with the comprehensive evaluation of the media; As for IMDB, the situation is even more amazing, with a score of 8.6 points from more than 8,100 viewers, ranking among the top 30 of IMDB's 250 best films.

Even though people knew that this score would change in the future, they still let out a lot of exclamations.

Among Lance's current three works, "City of God" has accumulated more than 300,000 votes, and the score is still maintained at 8.7 points, ranking high in the twentieth place on the list, and it is also the highest-ranked foreign language film.

After "Killing with a Knife" won the Oscar for Best Actor, the number of ratings on IMDB has skyrocketed, and it has now accumulated 250,000 votes, and the score is temporarily settled at 7.9 points, although it has not been able to enter the official IMDB list of 250, but this result is still eye-catching.

Now, "Sin City" has once again been born, temporarily ranking 25th with an evaluation of 8.6 points, with "Extraordinary Suspects" in front and "Beautiful Life" in the back, both of which are classics after time precipitation, and "Sin City" appears high in them.

IMDB is not the most authoritative list, because it is a site voted by the audience, and there is a high probability that there will be works with inflated ratings due to fan fanaticism, and there may also be unknown and cold art masterpieces that will be ignored. But it is undeniable that this list reflects the audience's comprehensive evaluation of a work to some extent.

In Lance's short career as a director, two works have appeared in the top 30, and such a strong appeal and influence is staggering.

Before the first week of April 2005, only four directors were able to have two titles in the top 30 on IMDB's 250 list: Steven Spielberg, "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan"; Peter Jackson, The Lord of the Rings trilogy; Francis Ford Coppola, "The Godfather 1" and "The Godfather 2"; David Fincher, "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "Fight Club"

Now, we have added one more to the list: Lancelot-Strello. While it's still unknown whether Sin City will stand the test of time, no one should forget that this is only Lance's fourth film, and even the most exaggerated praise can't describe how much praise has been achieved in a flash.

What's more, Lance's four works have created a crime trilogy, and as Roger said, Lance has always explored the balance between art and commerce, and the crime trilogy has clearly glimpsed some of these ways. For example, the "City of God" is too artistic, while "Murder by the Sword" and "Sin City" are more commercial; But no one can deny that Lance has been ahead of many on this path, and in time, maybe he can really become a generation of masters, with the appeal of Steven, Francis and others, calling the wind and rain in the North American film market.

IMDB's score reflects the audience's trust in Lance, as well as appreciation, which is also a talent skill that is hard to buy.

Before the release of "Sin City", this work has become the focus of attention, on the one hand, because of the appeal of Lance, as the fastest rising new generation of directors in the past two years, Lance not only has two consecutive works with a box office of more than 200 million, won the Oscar nomination for Best Director for two consecutive years, but also pushed Tom to the throne of the best actor, the thirty-two-year-old director has too much aura, whether he continues to create brilliance or suffers the first Waterloo-style fiasco, this is enough to make "Sin City." "Attract enough eyes.

On the other hand, the "Welcome to Your Sin City" campaign was a huge success, which not only attracted a large number of participants, but also kept the discussion hot, turning a movie promotion into a real artistic creation and a carnival for movie lovers. The interest and anticipation of the event naturally carried over to the film itself, curious about what kind of work "Sin City" would be, what kind of trends it would spark, and what form the winners would incorporate into the work.

The explosive reaction of the premiere is the most direct proof of this. As the first release of Chaos Pictures, in the absence of a distribution department, they originally planned to reduce the scale of the premiere, focus on on-site audience interaction, follow the route of "borrowing a knife to kill", and drive the box office with word-of-mouth, but after coming to the scene, they found that things were getting out of control little by little, and a small premiere gradually evolved into a grand premiere, and on the night of the first week of April, it derived the immediacy of the summer frenzy.

This is just the beginning.

After the premiere, the news media couldn't wait to fight, scrambling to set up flags, draw boundaries, and take a stand, and the mighty momentum continued from the professional media to the mass media, and then to the moviegoers and the Internet public, and spread endlessly, polarizing opinions caused incredible controversy, and even radio stations and TV programs couldn't help but start joining the discussion, and everyone was expressing their opinions: whether they liked or hated, or supported or opposed, The topic of "Sin City" spread like a lot.

Unconsciously, the development of things has been completely out of everyone's control, Chaos Pictures can't control it, the news media can't control it, even the general public can't control it, "Sin City" has become the hottest topic in the first week of April, even if you're not interested in this work, at least you've heard of the chaos it causes, and if you don't hear about it, you will obviously be completely blocked from the circle of friends, I don't know what to say.

Even if it is a summer file, it is not so easy to create such a situation, and it may not be able to reach such a height after spending 20 million publicity costs. But now, after a series of elaborate planning and a few inconsistencies at important turning points, Chaos Pictures has spent less than $5 million in publicity costs, reaching the heights that all studios can only dream of.

The movie-going frenzy, "Sin City" has really sparked a movie-going frenzy, and people can't wait to go into the cinema to see the film for the first time, and then join in this rare wave of discussion to share their opinions. On Friday, April 1, Sin City grossed $17 million in just one day!

After this data was released, it triggered an indiscriminate exclamation. Perhaps, the single-day box office of 17 million can't even squeeze into the top 30 in the film history list, and it is far behind the 28 million results on the premiere day of "The Day After Tomorrow", but no one should forget that this is April, April when stepping on the tail of the spring file - "The Day After Tomorrow" created such a good result in the summer file, and now it is only the first week of April, and "Sin City" has achieved such incredible results, easily breaking the "anger management" It set a single-day box office record of 15 million in the second week of April 2003.

It is worth mentioning that the single-day box office of the premiere of "Ocean's Twelve" was 15 million, while "Killing with a Knife" was 12 million.

It only took one day for Sin City to assert its supremacy, especially in the midst of the polarizing treatment of the media, which caused audiences to step out of the warm rooms of winter and go to the cinema to welcome summer and enjoy spring.

Even the wisest media outlets could not have predicted such a strong start to Sin City in April – in fact, the media's box office predictions for the film were met with a double day of déjà vu before Sin City's release, making it laugh and raise expectations.

Everyone can feel that the summer boom has arrived ahead of schedule with the strength of "Sin City", but the question is: how high can this movie reach? What kind of results will the premiere box office create? It seems that the miracle journey belonging to Reims has just begun. (To be continued.) )
