Chapter 1311: A Perfect Ending
Six consecutive championships!
"Seven Deadly Sins" set an insurmountable peak in 1995, in fact, this is not only the first six consecutive championships in Hugo's career as an actor, but also the second six consecutive championships after "The End of the World" after entering the 90s! It's a rarity!
In fact, after the sixth week of the release of "The Seven Deadly Sins", after all, it was still trapped by the length of time and the limitations of its own subject matter, and this week handed over a large box office decline for the first time, "plummeting" by 30%, and only earning 12 million dollars at the weekend box office, although for other films, such a drop can almost be said to be a proportion that must be celebrated, but compared to the table Xiàn in the five weeks before "Seven Deadly Sins", this result is not satisfactory.
However, considering factors such as schedule, theme, and number of weeks of release, the great feat of "Seven Deadly Sins" to complete six consecutive championships is still incredible. This is also the most obvious feature of this year's autumn file: "Seven Deadly Sins" is one family and one of the best!
"Seven Deadly Sins" couldn't find a single opponent in six weeks, and easily completed six consecutive championships, and the number of weekly championships was outstanding, especially in the context of the autumn season, which is even more incredible. From the perspective of the comparison between the autumn file and the summer file, the table of the "Seven Deadly Sins" is far stronger than the original "speed of life and death", after all, the innate conditions of the "Seven Deadly Sins" are far inferior to the "speed of life and death".
However, the constraints of the autumn file and the congenital weakness of thriller and suspense movies still make the "Seven Deadly Sins" show a decline in the objective number. After completing six consecutive championships, the cumulative box office of "Seven Deadly Sins" came to 170 million US dollars, which is far behind the same number of "speed of life and death", although at this time "Seven Deadly Sins" is only 30 million away from 200 million US dollars, but the box office of the movie is gradually weakening with the release time, and it is becoming more and more difficult to achieve this goal.
Although everyone knows that it is almost impossible for a thriller and suspense movie to hit the box office of 200 million US dollars, the best box office "The Silence of the Lambs" before this is only 130 million US dollars, and except for "The Silence of the Lambs", there is only one "book" of the same genre. can "achieved a box office of over 100 million, and ranked third in the box office list of thriller and suspense movies in the history of the "Midnight Horror (sea. of。 love)", the box office is only 58 million.
In other words, before this, there were only two thriller and suspense movies with a box office of over 100 million, just two!
Therefore, the box office impact of "Seven Deadly Sins" of 200 million is simply an impossible task, and even the current 170 million seems like a fantasy. And the "Seven Deadly Sins" only took six weeks to achieve this goal, which is definitely a myth that cannot be surpassed!
But even so, many people still feel a little embarrassed, after all, the "Seven Deadly Sins" with the blessing of Hugo almost have some conditions. Therefore, many people are calling on the film market to continue to support the "Seven Deadly Sins", looking forward to becoming a member of the history of Zào and witnessing history.
It will take time to prove whether it can break through the 200 million threshold, but now it is a fact that can be determined without waiting is that after the "Seven Deadly Sins" won six consecutive championships, Hugo's strong return was officially announced! After experiencing the so-called "before sunrise" trough, "Seven Deadly Sins" declared him to be a well-deserved top superstar in today's American film industry with a perfect report card, unique and unbeatable!
"Seven Deadly Sins" won six consecutive crowns at the box office of $170 million, and the threshold of 200 million retained the last glimmer of hope, and in the face of the strength of the "Seven Deadly Sins", last week's excellent "Short Man in Charge" was not inferior, handing over a 20% drop and earning $10 million at the weekend box office, achieving two consecutive runners-up.
The excellent performance of "Shorty Men in Charge" also further increased the suspense of the North American box office in the first week of November, after all, "Shorty Men in Charge" was only in its third week of release, and the box office fell by only 20% in the second week; And "Seven Deadly Sins" has entered its seventh week of release, and the box office fell by 30% last week! This also makes the autumn file usher in the real suspense again after entering November, and who will die is about to be revealed!
In the first week of November, the "Short Man in the Road" table, which received a super high score of 82 points in the media comprehensive review, was extremely strong, and handed over a slight drop of 5% in the face of the lack of new films, winning $9.7 million in three days over the weekend, and pushing the cumulative box office past the 40 million threshold, which made everyone amazed.
Similar to thriller and suspense movies, it is very difficult for comedy movies to win praise from film critics, and last year's box office success "Strange Heroes in Disguise" media comprehensive evaluation only scored 56 points, which shows how difficult it is for "Short Man to Rule" to be recognized by film critics.
The ultra-high quality and stable box office trend in the first two weeks laid enough foundation for the outbreak of "Shorty Man" this week, so this seemingly ordinary comedy film made history, successfully ended the glorious six consecutive championships of "Seven Deadly Sins", and won the North American weekend box office champion in the first week of November!
In fact, the "Seven Deadly Sins" table is still good this week, with a 30% box office drop of 840 US dollars, which still maintains the strong table since the release of the movie - so far the weekly box office decline has not exceeded 30 percent, such an excellent table for the thriller and suspense movie Li Ai can be called a rebellion.
Although the six consecutive championships ended by "Short Man", "Seven Deadly Sins" still easily occupied the runner-up throne, and its cumulative box office was infinitely close to 180 million US dollars, and the threshold of 200 million seems to be not so far away, and it seems that it can be broken at any time.
History is always so interesting, "The Seven Deadly Sins" set a series of records without anyone looking favorably, and John Travolta achieved a second spring in his career after missing out on "Pulp Fiction", starring in "The Short Man in Charge" to end the "Seven Deadly Sins" six consecutive titles; And last year, he hit a new career with three comedy films, became a top superstar, and hopefully became the first film in history to be paid $20 million - he was indeed the first member of the 20 million club in history, and came on strong in the second week of November.
In February last year, a "detective plane head" made Jim Carrey come out, and the subsequent "Strange Heroes in Disguise", "Dumb and Agua" pushed his comedy career to the peak, but due to historical mistakes, the first 20 million club originally belonged to Kim broke out in advance of Hugo, although Hugo still has not received a salary of 20 million US dollars, but history has deviated after all.
Now, Kim is back with the "Detective Plane Nose 2 (ace. ventura:when。 nature。 calls)" premiered in the second week of November, launching a fierce assault on the "Seven Deadly Sins" led by Hugo.
Last year's three productions amassed enough appeal to have an unparalleled appeal for North American audiences, and the premiere of "Detective Plane 2", which was released in 2,650 theaters, set a series of incredible records with a weekend box office of $37.8 million, and focused all the eyes of the cold fall market on itself.
"Interview with the Vampire" set a record of $36 million in film history premiere in the second week of November last year, and was immediately replaced by "Detective Nose 2".
In fact, the market effect of "Detective Plane Head 2" is the same as "Seven Deadly Sins", such a strong performance has squeezed the living space of other works, and the movie "Detective Plane Head 2" accounted for 51% of the total box office this weekend, even stronger than the opening weekend of "Seven Deadly Sins". With the exception of "Detective Plane 2", the best box office "Short Man" only earned $7.6 million, a 22 percent drop at the box office.
Last week, there seemed to be a huge hope of breaking through the $200 million threshold of the "Seven Deadly Sins", this week's box office was subject to the decline of the eighth week of release, and the thriller and suspense movie obviously did not have any family appeal for the upcoming Thanksgiving, and the box office plummeted by 43 percentage points this week, not only creating the largest drop since the release of the movie, but also earning only $4.8 million over the weekend, and the 200 million threshold that seemed to be within reach suddenly widened the gap.
Objectively speaking, the "Seven Deadly Sins" is still very good in the face of the strength of "Detective Plane Nose 2", but the regret that it cannot break through the threshold of 200 million US dollars is still quite embarrassing. The reason why history is interesting is not only because of the appearance of "Detective Nose 2", but also because of the strong appearance of "Goldeye" the following week.
The "007" James Bond series starring Pierce Brosnan was officially relaunched, and although the watch of "GoldenEye" was not as eye-catching as "Detective Nose 2", the $26 million premiere box office was still very good, and it joined forces with "Detective Plane Nose 2" to seize 60% of the film market.
The living space of the "Seven Deadly Sins" was further compressed, and in the second week of November, it again handed over a 39 percent drop to win $2.9 million at the weekend box office, and the historical glory of $200 million was gradually faded away.
Although it is said that it is subject to the congenital disadvantages of the autumn file and the thriller and suspense theme, as well as the outbreak of competitors in the late release period, "The Seven Deadly Sins" still set an incredible record, and finally it was released for 21 weeks, and the cumulative box office in North America fell to 195 million US dollars!
It is so close to the threshold of 200 million, but it is so far away. Even so, the $195 million North American box office still brought the "Seven Deadly Sins" to a perfect end, setting a box office record for thriller and suspense movies that could not be broken or even unattainable in the next two decades, and strongly announced Hugo's return!
But obviously, the footsteps of the "Seven Deadly Sins" have not stopped in the North American market, and the world market is still waiting for it to continue to conquer!
