In fact, this happened as early as last year's "Interview with the Vampire", many media believed that Tom Cruise gave the best performance of his career, and the evil and gloomy vampire image brought Tom's handsomeness to the fullest; But in relative terms, Brad Pitt's performance is stiff and vague, and the role that was supposed to play more space is played by Brad is bland, and Brad's muscular and bright image is far from the pale and fragile vampire.

However, the gap between the two is not so huge, and "Interview with the Vampire" was originally a work supported by the beauty of the two male protagonists, so there were still many praises about Brad at that time, and Brad also took advantage of the trend to reach a new career high.

It's just that this time for the "Seven Deadly Sins", Brad didn't have such good luck. The stark contrast with Hugo completely left Brad at a loss. In front of Hugo's excellent performance, Brad not only had no chance at all, but also completely exposed all his shortcomings and loopholes, and it can be said that this is a duel that even the leggings are lost.

"Seven Deadly Sins" is also considered by many media to be a work in which everyone can see the huge gap between Brad and Hugo, and now in terms of acting, it is difficult for this group of actors of the baby boomer generation to stand on the same level as Hugo, including Tom Cruise, who was nominated for an Oscar many years ago.

It can be seen from the evaluation of acting skills by many media that aside from the finished movie, the media also has the upper hand on the movie with praise, which also makes the audience who has not watched the movie more curious about the "Seven Deadly Sins", which further stimulates the audience to enter the cinema.

After the premiere ......of "The Seven Deadly Sins," a total of 22 professional film reviews were received -- a number after deducting the editorials that appeared in the "Los Angeles Times" film review, which was a big surprise, and finally the overall media score of "The Seven Deadly Sins" came to 75 points.

Seventy-five points, this score can be called a surprise for a thriller and suspense movie, which means that more than two-thirds of the media have expressed their approval of this movie.

It is worth mentioning that thriller and horror movies, which have never been able to achieve good results in audience ratings, this time the "Seven Deadly Sins" got a super high score of "B+" in the theater score.

Because thriller horror movies are often too scary, affecting the audience's rating psychology, and at the same time, this type of movie is also easy to be shoddy, so there are not too many scores that can reach "B", but this time the "Seven Deadly Sins" even came to the incredible "A-" after the premiere, which made many people fall through their glasses,

However, the young volcano accounted for most of the premiere, which also affected the objectivity of the score, and then with more and more audiences entering the cinema, the audience score declined, but in the end it still got "B+", which shows that the film has been greatly recognized.

This situation is something that many people did not expect, the thriller and suspenseful nature of "The Seven Deadly Sins", the obstacles to the release of the cold schedule in September, the embarrassment and unhappiness between the reporter and Hugo, the fiasco of David Fincher's directorial debut, and the unknown name of the screenwriter...... This qiē seems to indicate that the future of the "Seven Deadly Sins" is clouded, but the storm caused by the film's release has left everyone stunned.

The first is that the film has received good reviews from the mouths of the always tricky film critics, if it weren't for the fact that "The Seven Deadly Sins" is the worst of Hugo's works since "Sleepless in Seattle" - the original "Sleepless in Seattle" media comprehensive evaluation was 73 points, and the theater score was "B+", people would even start to suspect that the harsh and strict film critics have been accepted by Hugo.

The second is that a film review in the Los Angeles Times actually kicked off a vigorous discussion across the United States, and even pushed the August rebellion to a new peak, so much so that it has become one of the important topics in next year's presidential election.

This is an unimaginable situation for any film, and the "Seven Deadly Sins" seems to have risen from the level of a simple film work to a whole new level, becoming an important catalyst in the history of media change, and will also be as solemn as "vulgar".

Could anyone really have predicted such a situation? Even Hugo himself was completely dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

The "Seven Deadly Sins" made a grand debut at such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Although September is a deserted schedule, it is intriguing that MGM invested 45 million US dollars in the production of "Yan. Showgirls" also chose to premiere in the same week as "Seven Deadly Sins."

"Yan. Dancing Girl "is made of" Ben. Can" director Paul Verhoeven. Verhoeven), the mid-range investment, which was also considered to have the potential to make a difference in the box office market, was not extravagant to get something like "Ben." can", at least it can create a topic. But it's a pity that after the internal test screening, it was criticized by a lot of mouth, so MGM also broke the jar, and casually found a schedule in September and arranged for the release.

But the interesting thing is here, they actually chose the same schedule as the "Seven Deadly Sins". Of course, this can also be understood as a deserted schedule in September, and there is not much difference between any schedule. But MGM and New Line Film Company, the two predators behind it, make it difficult not to think of Hugo refusing the invitation to perform in "007".

However, "Yan." "Dancing Girl" only arranged for 1,400 theaters to be released, compared to the 2,500 theaters of "Seven Deadly Sins", the momentum is more than a cut weaker. Maybe MGM really gave up on this work.

The facts also proved that MGM had to give up, "Yan." After the premiere of "Dancing Girl", the media comprehensive evaluation was only 16 points, and the theater score was only "C-", which can be said to be a complete failure. It is almost impossible for such an achievement to make a difference in the face of the "Seven Deadly Sins", and you can only hope for the incense in the movie. The glamorous scene attracted some viewers to the cinema.

There is no doubt that "The Seven Deadly Sins" will be released this week without any head-on rivals," Yan. The "Dancing Girl" is clearly lacking in confidence, while last week's defending champion "Glamorous Female (to. wong。 foo，thanks。 for。 everything!julie。 "Although we have completed two consecutive championships, the championship result is only 6.5 million, and it is really difficult to form an effective confrontation.

Now people are concerned about how much box office the "Seven Deadly Sins" can achieve under such a boom? Six million dollars predicted by the New York Post? Or the record-breaking $13 million predicted by the Los Angeles Times?

But when the box office numbers for the fourth week of September came out, almost everyone was dumbfounded: the North American Theater Alliance (Exhibitor). relations) determine the number jù without statistical errors?

It seems that the exhibitors have long expected this situation, and specially posted a corresponding announcement, especially emphasizing that this week's box office number jù has been repeatedly confirmed, and there is no error in all the numbers. Now everyone is completely stunned!

Three thousand four million three hundred and ninety-five thousand dollars!

What is this number jù? Three or four million dollars? Are you sure you're not mistaken? Is the number of exhibitors confirmed again and again? Isn't it because the statistical system is wrong, or that there is some error in the calculation?

The simplest comparison of the $34 million film is the simplest of comparisons, with the premiere of this summer's most anticipated and controversial film, Future Water World, in its grand premiere in the last week of July, and the $175 million film ...... With a box office of $21 million, Shun Lì won the North American box office in the last week of July.

34 million to 21 million, 30 million cost to 175 million investment, and more importantly, 34 million can easily win the championship even in the summer season! But this qiē all appeared in the cold September, the September that no one paid attention to, and the September that everyone disliked!

In another set of numbers, it was released in October last year, and finally created countless miracles of "vulgarity", with a box office of $16.8 million in its opening weekend, and finally swept $172 million in North America; Released last summer, it grossed $239 million in North American theaters, and the opening weekend was $304.5 million.

So what was the premiere box office of "The Seven Deadly Sins"?

Three or four million dollars!

This is not only a new record at the box office of Hugo's personal debut, but also surpassed "Speed of Life and Death" and "Sleepless in Seattle" in one fell swoop, setting a new record for Hugo's premiere box office; And in a shocking gesture, there is no doubt that it broke the new box office record for the premiere in September, directly increasing the original record by more than two times, so strong that it almost hit an insurmountable height.

In fact, it was not until seven years later, in 2002, that the $34 million box office record of "Seven Deadly Sins" was "Sweet." home。 alabama)" with three hundred and fifty million dollars.

If the breakthrough of "Schindler's List" is due to its feedback and mourning of real historical events, the breakthrough of "Speed of Life and Death" is due to its commercial popcorn movie attributes, and the breakthrough of "vulgar" is due to its earth-shaking subversion of independent films, these films have received an explosive response at the box office, which is still understandable, then the outbreak of "Seven Deadly Sins" is completely unexpected.

Such a film without any gimmicks other than the showdown between Hugo and Brad; Such a movie that was questioned as a strange choice, Hugo left "Mission Impossible" and chose "Seven Deadly Sins", and was even once considered to be suspected of being a gambled choice; Such a thriller and suspense movie that does not see any commercial potential has achieved one of the most incredible miracles in the history of cinema.

But, that's how history was born! The $34 million premiere box office was so terrifying that people could barely control the tremors of their bodies, and so it was born.
