Time Network News: Friday's North American box office is a mixed blessing for the majority of toners. ≤≤ Xiao≤ said that the good news is that Tan Zhang's first Hollywood movie "Chainsaw" premiered at a very good box office. The bad news is that many people in China have missed this horror film with an IMDB score of 7.8 points and has been well received by the audience. ”

"Saw grossed $7.69 million on Friday, ranking third, and is expected to reach $20 million on the weekend, which is double the expected 10 million before its release, and compared to the cost of 1.8 million for the film, it has already begun to make a lot of money in one day."

This week's animated film "Puss in Boots," which topped Friday's box office with $9.6 million, is expected to reach $32 million at the weekend. However, compared to other DreamWorks cartoons, this is not very outstanding. ”

In terms of other films, Sony's highly-anticipated "Twisted Bun" earned $9.38 million on Friday, ranking second, and the horror film was released far more than "Saw", but judging from the response of the market, the box office and word of mouth are far worse than the former. Another new sci-fi film, Time Archives, is also mediocre, at $4.26 million on Friday. ”

"Black Armor Boxing, which was released in the fourth week, earned $2.45 million, and is expected to earn $10 million over the weekend, which is very stable."

……

The North American Friday box office is equivalent to a barometer of the weekend box office, looking at the Friday box office, you can basically guess the box office of the three days of the weekend.

The table of "Chainsaw" is undoubtedly a surprise.

In terms of distribution scale, publicity intensity, and the number of theaters released, they are far lower than "Twisted Bun", but the box office is only less than $1.7 million less than the other party, and it has a super audience reputation support.

Although both of them are mostly negative evaluations in terms of media evaluation. But chainsaws have audience popularity, and hair has no audience popularity. There is no box office without audience popularity, this is an unbreakable truth.

"SA is a very bloody and savage film, and it will inevitably disgust some viewers. If a horror movie makes viewers feel that way, it means it's halfway there. A sick and crazy murderer. All kinds of grotesque and terrifying ways of killing, a meaningful central theme, made Tan Zhang's Hollywood debut. ”

Sophia Marceau, a film critic for the Los Angeles Times, gave a rotten vegetable leaf on Rotten Tomatoes, but her review still affirmed the film's success.

The San Francisco Chronicle said: "SA has broken the bottleneck of horror films that have become more and more routine and commercialized for many years. With ingenious conception and unbridled bloody violence, it brings back the atmosphere of the golden age of B-grade horror films in the 70s. ”

And by the way, compared "Twisted Bun", which was released at the same time: "Sony's "Twisted Bun" still hasn't come out of the clichéd plot, and it is its misfortune that it was released together with "SA". ”

A veteran fan of horror films, Superknon wrote on his FAE pook: "Since "Watching the Night Watch" ten years ago, there has been no horror film that has always made me dare to sit on only half of my ass, except for "SA". I was captivated by the story from the beginning, all the way to the end. It's so rare that I can guess the ending of almost every horror movie in the past ten years. But the director has subverted this standard in a creative way, and it has exceeded my expectations! ”

Another black guy DH milk Vdude tweeted on his titter: "I like 'sa', they tell me that the director is Chinese, I don't know where China is, but I like this Chinese director, he has an appetite for me." ”

North American audiences are happy to enjoy the hearty horror show brought by "Saw" in movie theaters.

The domestic audience is not happy, especially Zhang Tan's fans, after the good deeds translated the foreigner's evaluation of the movie into the post bar and forum. Immediately, they all began to scold that radio and television were not classified, and the director couldn't see the movie.

I can only wait until I don't know when, the resources will be transmitted to China, and then I can download and watch them from the Internet.

……

Three days is just a short time for a white horse.

Even the domestic media have not yet reacted. The weekend box office in North America is out again. The experts' judgment based on Friday's box office showed that there were no mistakes this time.

"Black Armor Boxing" was a little regrettable in the end, only getting 9.4 million US dollars, failing to reach tens of millions, ranking fifth on the box office list. The fourth place is the sci-fi film "Time Archive Bureau", and the response is not very good. Only $11.34 million was received.

And the weekend box office champion, not surprisingly, was topped by "Puss in Boots" with $33.67 million. This DreamWorks cartoon and Disney release, which opened in 3,952 theaters in North America, was aiming for the championship from the beginning.

Halloween is a horror film schedule, but the festival is mainly celebrated by children, so it is also a cartoon schedule.

The most interesting thing at the box office is the showdown between the two new horror films.

Sony, one of the six major studios, released "Twisted Bun", opened in 3,245 theaters; "Saw Horror", released by the independent film company Summit Entertainment, opened in 15 theaters.

The two are not in the same tonnage at all.

It turns out that it seems to have been booked long ago.

On Friday, "Twisted Bun" crushed "Saw" for $9.38 million, crushing $7.69 million for "Saw."

However, after two days of theaters on Saturday and Sunday, it was "Saw Horror" that won, because since Saturday, "Chainsaw" has begun to increase the number of theaters, and the box office has begun to overtake "Twisted Bun".

In the end, in the last three days, "Twisted Bun" reported $19.77 million, and "Chainsaw" reported $20.93 million, with a narrow margin of more than $1 million, "Twisted Bun" was cut off.

A beautiful turnaround.

Such a gimmicky result has allowed the media to find a selling point that can attract attention, and all the articles on this week's box office table Xiàn will always compare the two horror films together.

""Twisted Bun" was defeated across the board, and "Chainsaw" counterattacked and surpassed."

"The old-fashioned plasma film is not as good as the secret room thriller, and "SA" kills a bloody road."

"The wonderful plot of "SA" awakens the audience's aesthetic fatigue and sweeps away the weakness of horror films in recent years."

"Sony is tragic again, and "Twisted Bun" has become a booster for the box office and word-of-mouth of "SA".

Only when there is a comparison can there be a foil, and only then can people feel more intuitively whether a movie is good or bad. "Saw Horror" undoubtedly stepped on the bones of "Twisted Bun". At the beginning of the new week, the number of theaters released in "Saw Horror" has begun to approach 3,000, which is almost on par with "Twisted Bun".

From December 4th to 6th, two new films will be released in North America, both comedies. One is the crime comedy "High-rise Robbery" released by Universal, and the other is "Pig's Head Shopping 3" released by Warner Bros.

The new and ongoing movies are not blockbusters, and there will basically be no blockbusters before Christmas.

Therefore, the box office of several movies can be described as inseparable.

The box office potential of "Black Armor Boxing", which was released in the fifth week, was basically dry, and it was $3.6 million in three days, ranking seventh.

"Time Archives Bureau" is a big dive, or a big jump, with a drop of nearly 60%, and only earned $4.52 million over the weekend, ranking sixth.

Last week's third-place "Twisted Bun", which was crushed by "Chainsaw", fell by nearly half this week, $9.97 million in three days, ranking fifth.

The newly released "Pig's Head Shopping 3" has a bad reputation, with $11.45 million, barely hanging in fourth place.

The weekend winner was still Puss Boots, with $32.1 million, a drop of almost zero, and it was effortless to complete the winning streak. The second place is the newly released "High-rise Building Robbery", with $24.03 million, which is off to a good start.

In third place is "Chainsaw", which fell 39.5% at the box office from last weekend, earning $12.66 million. Ten days after its release, it grossed $42.65 million.

Let all the experts cry out surprises.

Previously, they expected that it would be good for "Saw to get 10 million" in the first week, and the total box office would be at most 30 million, but the result was only two weeks, which was far more than expected.

You know, the cost of the movie is only $1.8 million.

Now the return rate is more than 20 times.

"Hollywood's most lucrative film of the year was born, and Chinese director Tan Zhang made his Hollywood debut with an unexpected horror film." The New York Times.

"Yes, Tan is one of the most talented directors in the world, and he will be one of the top directors in Hollywood." Robert, the boss of Summit Entertainment, never praised Zhang Tan. (To be continued.) )
