$13,200 for a single museum and $33 million for weekends.

With such data, it is easy to complete this year's summer file "Life and Death Speed 2", "Air Prison (Con. Air)" and "Changing Faces" and other works at the weekend box office, and with an absolutely strong attitude, they will be behind the $34 million of the "Seven Deadly Sins" in North American film history in September.

"Boom!"

This is almost an incredible miracle for the entire North American market. Since the "Seven Deadly Sins" refreshed history in 1995, the runner-up in the box office list of the premiere in film history in September is the "Ex-Wife Club" released last year, with a weekend box office of 18 million US dollars, but compared with the data of the 30 million level of the "Seven Deadly Sins", it seems extremely lonely.

Now, the second film in film history to win 20 million - or even 30 million - weekend box office in September was born, which is "L.A. Confidential", also from Hugo, once again wrote the box office myth, with absolutely strong results to prove that he is incomparable today.

More importantly, L.A. Confidential achieved this feat in an embattled situation.

Two years ago, when the "Seven Deadly Sins" made history, the competitors were weak, and almost no one took a fancy to September in the autumn season; And after the vicious events during the filming of "Death Row Walk", the rebellion provoked by the young volcanoes was huge, and later continued to spread under the catalysis of the single "Apologize"; Not to mention that on the eve of the presidential election, sensitive topics ignited the enthusiasm of the whole society and directly pushed the "Seven Deadly Sins" to the forefront.

Under such circumstances, the "Seven Deadly Sins" handed over a historically broken answer sheet.

Now, two years later, "L.A. Confidential" is facing the menacing "Devil's Roar" and "The Groom's Wrong Turn", as well as David Fincher's "Mind Game", and at the same time, the topic is less than two notches hotter.

But it is in this situation that "Los Angeles Confidential" still created its own history, with a weekend box office of 33 million US dollars, only a slight gap behind so that it was not able to break the record of "Seven Deadly Sins", but whether it is media reputation or audience feedback, "Los Angeles Confidential" has achieved a comprehensive lead, not to mention the brilliance created under unfavorable conditions, which is enough to make people believe that the victory of "Los Angeles Confidential" is hearty!

Without any additional factors, without any topic gimmicks, without any motivation to help, "L.A. Confidential" won the box office result of $33 million over three days of the weekend just by relying on the appeal of a strong cast lineup, which once again made people deeply feel the power of Hugo, it can be said that "L.A. Confidential" completely relied on its own reputation and Hugo's appeal to create such a result, which is a shocking education for the entire Hollywood.

"L.A. Confidential" handed over a box office score of more than 30 million in the second weekend of film history in the cold September, which seems to have answered Hollywood's question: Is the box office miracle of "Independence Day" really just a shooting star? Or can it become the development trend of the industry?

The answer should be the latter.

With almost no computer special effects, "L.A. Confidential" has won the recognition of not only sophisticated film critics, but also discerning audiences by relying on meticulous storytelling, outstanding scripts, brilliant characters, and wonderful actors. In such a situation, coupled with an actor with charisma, the box office miracle model is completely replicable.

In the summer of this year, although the box office of "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" was excellent, it still failed to create a miracle; The box office fiascos of "Batman and Robin" and "Speed of Life and Death 2" can almost be said to be a loss, and they have also borne countless infamy; "Conspiracy. Theory)", "Police. Cop. Land)" won the weekend box office, but the debut box office and cumulative box office were not as good as they could be......

On the contrary, the dark horse of "Men in Black" was born, but it amazed the entire North American market, from the premiere box office to the follow-up box office curve, it is very gratifying.

All of this proves that computer special effects can be the key to changing the film industry, but the script is still the most important foundation. Simple and brutal as "Independence Day", there is still an excellent story, the pacing control is worth learning from the same type of movies, and the computer special effects are just the weight to make the story more exciting - "Men in Black" is also out of the encirclement.

Taking "L.A. Confidential" as an example, in fact, this movie almost does not use computer special effects, except for one place: the final battle, which not only invested a lot of real explosion scenes during the filming, but also used computer special effects to make the bullets and bullets on the scene look more realistic and hot, this Armageddon undoubtedly vented all the emotions of the movie for 120 minutes. ingenious, but not over-fired, successfully became the finishing touch of the movie.

The same goes for top actors, and the extreme trends of the two films, "Batman & Robin" and "L.A. Confidential", vividly teach the film industry a vivid lesson: how to use top actors correctly and well!

The seven main characters in "L.A. Confidential" are all extremely charismatic, and the film is not only amazing, but also has a deep aftertaste, Hugo is not the arrow character in the film - although the decisive character who conveys the core of the film throughout the story, the film is more of a collective power of all the actors.

The script, special effects, and actors, under the correct guidance of the director, were arranged and combined, and "L.A. Confidential" was born, and thus a weekend box office record of 33 million dollars was born.

Obviously, the 30 million-level weekend box office in September is an unparalleled shock to the whole of Hollywood. What's more, this is the second time that Hugo has created such an achievement in the remote autumn file after the "Seven Deadly Sins", which not only gives a new inspiration to the film industry, but also makes people more aware of the value of Hugo as an actor.

The box office miracle of "Independence Day", in addition to computer special effects, what proportion of the Hugo effect occupies? It's a question that anyone in Hollywood would ponder.

Returning to the North American weekend box office charts in the third week of September, "L.A. Confidential" was able to rank second in film history at the box office without a doubt and easily locked the top spot this week, and what is even more rare is that even the most predicted "Chicago Tribune" still failed to guess the ending, and "L.A. Confidential" once again dumbfounded all media with a sweeping attitude.

The San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, The New York Post and other media outlets breathed a sigh of relief, and although they underestimated the box office of "L.A. Confidential", they were only conservative and did not sing down. The outcome of the previous confrontation with Hugo has taught them enough lessons, and this time they finally did not repeat the same mistakes. What's more, the $33 million weekend box office slapped almost all the media in the face, so they didn't have to worry.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing for the media to be so cautious and groveling in the face of a top actor?

The only pity is that the "Los Angeles Secrets" was only one million dollars away from breaking the record of the "Seven Deadly Sins", and it was so close to the record, but in the end it was regrettable to pass by, which made many people feel sorry for it. After all, the reputation of "L.A. Confidential" among the media and the audience is more than the "Seven Deadly Sins".

In the face of the strong crushing of "L.A. Confidential" and the sluggishness of a number of competitors, "The Groom's Wrong Corner" successfully stood out and relied on good media reviews to harvest 15 million US dollars at the weekend box office, which became a huge surprise, especially under the incredible results of "L.A. Confidential", this box office data made Paramount smile even more, and after ranking as the runner-up in this week's weekend box office rankings, "The Groom's Wrong Corner" became the biggest highlight outside of this week's championship.

Last week's weekend box office champion "Mind Game" was in head-to-head competition with the same genre of "L.A. Confidential", and the decline fell sharply by 40% the next week, directly falling to the third place, although this is already a very good result for a thriller and suspense movie, but the next week's box office of $9 million only made the cumulative box office rise to $28 million, which can definitely be a bad news for the "mind game" with an investment cost of up to $50 million.

In fact, the media evaluation of "Mind Game" is quite good, although the media average score of 61 points cannot be compared with the "Seven Deadly Sins", it is not easy to be in the same type of movie, and more importantly, the theater score has reached "B+", which is on par with the "Seven Deadly Sins", and it can be seen that this movie is affirmed. But the box office has completely lost the magic of the "Seven Deadly Sins", is it just because of the lack of Hugo?

"Devil's Roar" was the biggest loser of the week, and the $6 million opening weekend box office was all but destined to be cannon fodder under the crush of "L.A. Confidential." Although this result was already foreshadowed after the media round-up and the theater scores were released, it still brought a huge blow when the real box office results were known.

The development of small and medium-sized production companies is still a long way, and the independent film industry is thriving after the "vulgar", but after independent art films lack stories, characters and depth, it is almost impossible to gain a foothold in Hollywood. This also raises a new question for small and medium-sized studios – can they produce great work on their own other than Sundance?

The North American weekend box office in the third week of September ended unexpectedly and unexpectedly, "L.A. Confidential" won strongly, but unfortunately missed the record-breaking, is this a signal - a signal that "L.A. Confidential" cannot create a "Seven Deadly Sins" box office miracle?
