Chapter 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.
In fact, it can be seen from the overseas box office of Hugo's past works that the "heroic style of the righteous sea", which reflects the social attributes and shortcomings of the United States itself, and the "vulgar" overseas box office table that reflects American history and culture are very good, but it is often limited to make breakthroughs; Schindler's List, which focused on World War II and Jews, ushered in a major explosion in Europe with incredible successes; However, the most outstanding overseas box office outside of all Hugo's works is "life and death", which does not have any regional cultural color, and is a simple and crude popcorn commercial movie.
Hollywood movies have incomparable appeal around the world, but they are also Hollywood movies, and the difference in overseas box office can still show the value orientation of overseas markets. Some movies are flowers inside the wall and fragrant outside the wall, some movies are overseas who don't know how to appreciate the beauty of North America, and some movies are sweeping the eight wildernesses.
This is one of the reasons why Hollywood has always been fond of commercial popcorn movies, because even if the North American box office is mediocre, overseas markets can often turn the tide.
From an objective analysis, the movie "Seven Deadly Sins" is indeed not suitable for overseas markets, whether it is the subject matter or the American cultural attributes. In particular, the reason why the "Seven Deadly Sins" was able to achieve a box office of nearly 200 million US dollars in North America is clear to everyone: in the past two months, the entire American society has launched a verbal and written attack on the news media, and the promotion of the "Los Angeles Times" has become the fuse, which has made the "Seven Deadly Sins" set an incredible record.
The problem, however, is that the rebellion of the young volcano is confined to North America and has not spread overseas. In other words, the social apathy and social problems reflected by the "Seven Deadly Sins" do not exist in other countries.
Therefore, the overseas box office prospects of the "Seven Deadly Sins" are indeed worrying.
After the release of "Seven Deadly Sins" in the North American market, New Line Films' overseas distribution rights were not sold for a long time, and within nearly a month, only the work was released in the US market, and no other countries and regions were screened, a qiē that also seems to confirm people's fears about the film.
However, people ignore the fact that although the "Seven Deadly Sins" were linked to the media because of the "Los Angeles Times", they evolved into a social wave; But this point aside, the movie "Seven Deadly Sins" itself reflects the problem of social indifference, which is not only a matter of the United States, but also in South America, Eastern Europe and other countries with a slightly chaotic social order, the same social problems cannot be ignored, and including Germany, which was rebuilt after the war, France and Britain where social development is relatively stable, similar social problems have gradually become hidden dangers.
In other words, it is a worldwide problem that almost every country is bound to face in the process of development. Social indifference leads to the growth of crime, and in the face of crime, distrust between people begins to increase, which in turn leads to further indifference, forming a vicious circle, which gradually evolves into a strict social problem and begins to corrode people's values and worldview. This is bad for society as a whole.
In addition, the North American continent has launched a denunciation against the uncrowned king, and in an age when the whole world can be connected, although not as intimate as the Internet, the problems faced by traditional journalism seem to be similar. The world has also begun to reflect on the changes in the United States, if not as violently as in the United States, but at least it has caused discussion.
Therefore, when the "Seven Deadly Sins" swept through North America with a devastating trend, the aftermath began to gradually ferment in various countries with the advancement of time.
The first countries and regions to feel the impact of the "Seven Deadly Sins" were Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea, which have always had close relations with the United States, Germany, which was slowly rebuilding after reunification, South Africa, Brazil, and the Netherlands, Hungary, Austria, and other countries whose social problems could not be ignored.
After witnessing the sweep of the "Seven Deadly Sins" in the first month, these countries began to launch the "Seven Deadly Sins" screening in November.
The movie "Seven Deadly Sins" puts aside social reflection, and it is also a very intriguing movie in itself, especially the reversal of the ending and the revelation of the murderer, which is 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, the film began to be released in various countries and regions around the world, especially after the incredible success of "The Seven Deadly Sins" in North America, the attraction to overseas markets increased by two levels, and finally New Line Films successfully released and released in 54 countries and regions around the world.
Under such slow progress and fermentation, the overseas box office of the "Seven Deadly Sins" once again fell through everyone's glasses, and an unbelievable energy erupted in various countries and regions around the world.
France, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom have all exceeded 40 million US dollars at the cumulative box office, such amazing results are amazing, these four countries have also become the top four box office warehouses of the "Seven Deadly Sins" overseas box office, among which Japan and France's table xiàn is the most incredible, surpassing the British Isles, occupying the top two overseas box office, Japan collected 47 million US dollars, and France also received 43 million US dollars, the hesitation of the table xiàn is not only beyond expectations, It's exactly the same furious pattern as North America.
These four countries and regions alone contributed $140 million to the box office of the "Seven Deadly Sins"! This also means that the overseas box office of the "Seven Deadly Sins" is likely to surpass that of North America, which once again broke the predictions of professionals in the circle, who obviously lacked a sufficiently accurate understanding of the social problems of various countries around the world before the advent of the Internet age.
The social wave led by the "Seven Deadly Sins" in North America has also ignited countless sparks around the world!
In addition to the above four countries and regions, the overseas box office of the "Seven Deadly Sins" also showed a situation of a hundred flowers, Australia, Brazil, Italy, Spain, Sweden and other five countries and regions all exceeded 10 million at the final box office, of which Italy and Spain both won 20 million box office, and the excellence of the table Xiàn simply made everyone exclaim incredible.
These five countries and regions have jointly contributed 90 million US dollars to the box office, and the box office figure of 230 million US dollars in nine countries and regions so far also means that the "Seven Deadly Sins" directly surpassed the box office predators of summer files such as "Apollo 13", "Batman Forever", and "Future Water World", and achieved heights that none of them could reach in terms of overseas box office, and won the crazy pursuit of the world movie box office market.
Although the social discussion and reflection triggered by the "Seven Deadly Sins" has a strong driving force, there is still a gap between the outbreak of the overseas market and that of North America, so what is the reason for the "Seven Deadly Sins" overseas box office to usher in such an incredible outbreak?
The results of the survey made many people laugh and cry but suddenly realized - Brad Pitt and Hugo Lancaster!
Although the matchup between Brad and Hugo is almost ignored in North America, because the gap between the two is so great; But in the overseas market, people are not about the showdown between Brad and Hugo, but about the performance of two top super popular idols on the same stage, just like last year's "Night Vampire", people are willing to go into the cinema simply for Brad and Hugo, just want to enjoy the demeanor of the two super sexy idols.
Especially Hugo.
Since then, almost every work Hugo's overseas box office performance has exceeded imagination, especially after "Schindler's List", Hugo's recognition in Europe has skyrocketed, and "vulgar" won Hugo Best Actor in Cannes, and "Before Sunrise" won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director in Berlin, which made Hugo's global box office appeal reach a new high.
Before you know it, Hugo's appeal has covered the whole world, and just when people lamented that Hugo has become a top superstar in North America, the audience that has been fascinated by Hugo's charm around the world has spread all over five continents. In particular, Europe is particularly fond of Hugo, and in the soil of the European continent with a strong literary atmosphere, the two works "Schindler's List" and "Before Sunrise" have won Hugo the love of countless people, and even replaced the four major directors such as Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford and Arnold Schwarzenegger and other action superstars and became synonymous with Hollywood.
The change of dynasty has been completed without people realizing it.
Under such a push, the overseas box office of "Seven Deadly Sins" finally came to an incredible 290 million US dollars! After being ranked in "Speed of Life and Death" and "Schindler's List", it became the third highest work in Hugo's overseas market table!
This result not only far exceeds the box office in North America, but it is also the best work in the overseas box office so far this year, so the result is indeed surprising to countless people. But this is not surprising, after all, the "Seven Deadly Sins" have already set so many shocking records, and the overseas achievements are just another addition to such brilliance!
In the end, the "Seven Deadly Sins", which no one was optimistic about from start to finish, swept the box office of $485 million worldwide, making this magical journey end in such an incredible way.
In the face of such an outstanding and powerful performance of "The Seven Deadly Sins", people suddenly wonder about another thing: what will happen to the box office after giving up Hugo and choosing Tom Cruise's "Mission Impossible"? It's a very interesting thing to do.
