"The Seven Deadly Sins" swept $195 million at the box office in North America and $485 million worldwide, so even the use of "phenomenal" to describe it is not enough to express people's inner shock and excitement, which is almost an achievement that makes everyone rejoice, and New Line Studios has been happy to find a direction, and other studios have begun to make their own calculations because of the success of the thriller and suspense genre.

The investment of 30 million US dollars finally obtained 485 million US dollars, more than 16 times the box office revenue, just one movie made the new line film company make a lot of money, almost any film company is red!

For the three actors, it is an unprecedented brilliance, which is obviously the peak of Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt's career as actors, for the former he doesn't care about the box office, but for the latter, it really achieves a new career high!

In 1986, a "Top Gun" swept the $176 million box office in the North American market, making Tom Cruise an idol for millions of Americans; In 1992, a "Righteous Sea Heroes" detonated the North American box office of 170 million US dollars, making Hugo Lancaster a unique top superstar in the whole of Hollywood.

Now, in 1995, a "Seven Deadly Sins" snatched $195 million at the box office, making Brad Pitt instantly among the first-line and even top stars, officially standing side by side with Tom, Hugo and others, and obtaining the qualification to compete against him.

"The Seven Deadly Sins" is not only Brad's most outstanding work at the box office of his career, but also shows his personal charm to the fullest.

As commented by many media, Brad is completely inferior in terms of acting skills, but he is undoubtedly an excellent vase, and the sexy image accumulated by "Night Interview with Vampire" and "Burning Years" reached its peak in "Seven Deadly Sins", which instantly made Brad a lover comparable to Tom and Hugo.

It can be said that "The Seven Deadly Sins" is Brad's iconic work that officially rose to the top.

Prior to this, whether it was the super popularity of "Night Interview with Vampire" or the high-profile of "Burning Years", although Brad was not small, in the eyes of the media, he still had a big gap with Tom and Hugo, not in terms of strength or popularity, but the accumulation of works, which did not reach the corresponding level. Now, the "Seven Deadly Sins" are this stepping stone!

Brad is the well-deserved first actor of "The Seven Deadly Sins", and naturally relied on this work to become the object of attention with a box office of nearly $200 million.

However, the taste of these so-called praises is only known to Brad himself.

Although "The Seven Deadly Sins" starred Brad, when the North American box office of the film finally stopped at $195 million, almost everyone was lamenting that this work could not become the third work in Hugo's history to exceed 200 million at the box office, and if Hugo did do this, he would surpass Harrison Ford in terms of box office appeal to become the undisputed first person in the United States - although there are not many doubts now.

But it's a pity that it's so close to 200 million and yet so far away.

But no one regrets that Brad passed by his first 200 million box office.

This qiē is like "Schindler's List", although Hugo is only a supporting role, and this time the "Seven Deadly Sins" scene is even less pitiful, even only one-tenth of the weight of the movie, but Hugo relied on his charm and easily became the center of attention.

Moreover, at the beginning, because of the subject matter, people's attention was distracted by the heavy history of the Jews and Steven Spielberg, but the "Seven Deadly Sins" did not, almost all the attention was focused on Hugo, and the social issues that detonated were also developed with Hugo as the origin. There is no doubt that Hugo is the focus of attention.

People will be amazed, regretful, and sorry for Hugo, not only because Hugo once created such a miracle, but Brad was able to achieve such a result "is already very good, don't think more"; It's because Hugo's watch has almost become the core of the entire movie, and it is Hugo, not Brad, who really pushes the film to new heights, attracts audiences to the cinema, and detonates the film's North American box office.

"The Seven Deadly Sins" became Brad's highest-grossing work to date, and it really brought him to the level of Tom and Hugo, and with them on an equal footing, he should be happy, he should celebrate, and he should be ecstatic. But this work relies on Hugo to achieve such results, what this work really achieves is Hugo's brilliance, this work allows everyone to see the gap between him and Hugo, and this work even makes people simply and rudely divide him into "vases" and Hugo is the absolute strength and quality of both......

Faced with such a result, it was difficult for Brad to be happy, and the bitterness on the tip of his tongue almost drove him crazy.

What's even more depressing is that Martin Baum can't understand Brad's mood, for agents, success is the most important thing, and the methods and ways are secondary, even if it is with Hugo's east wind, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that now Brad is officially among the ranks of 10 million salaries!

Gwyneth Paltrow can't understand Brad's mood either, for her, connections, background, and funds are all stepping stones to success, and she can think that Brad has succeeded by stepping on Hugo's shoulders, and she is not only incomprehensible to Brad's depression and bitterness, but also hates iron and steel.

"Should I be happy?" Brad asked himself, but couldn't find the answer, for the first time, he really realized the gap between him and Hugo, not connections, not background, not money, but hard power. This is the second time since the disappearance of Tracy Jacobs that Brad has fallen into deep thought, about himself, about Hugo, about Hollywood......

The "Seven Deadly Sins" made Brad the top and Hugo even more superstar.

This is not only Hugo's sixth work with a box office of more than 100 million since he won the Golden Raspberry Award, but also surpassed "Vulgar" and "Sleepless in Seattle", becoming second only to "Schindler's List" and "Speed of Life and Death", two works with a box office of more than 200 million, becoming Hugo's third highest-grossing work.

This not only shattered the New York Post's view of Hugo's declining career in one fell swoop, but also directly proved Hugo's unique position for the entire North American box office market.

Before that, whether it was Harrison Ford or Arnold Schwarzenegger, whether it was Tom Cruise or Jim Carrey, they had repeatedly achieved miracles at the North American box office, but they all had a distinctive characteristic: the works they starred in had a distinct commercial film color, such as the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, such as the "Terminator" series.

But Hugo's emergence and last year's rise to prominence from Tom Hanks have shown something else: they can achieve high box office results and prove that actors can contribute to cinema – central, intellectual, and acting.

This is true of "Forrest Gump" and "Apollo 13" starring Tom Hanks, as is "Schindler's List" and "Vulgar" starring Hugo. This time, the "Seven Deadly Sins" are even more typical.

This also gives the North American film market a new look: commercial films can also have depth, and special theme films can also explode at the box office.

This also makes Hugo occupy a unique position in the current North American film market, the only "Big Tom" Tom Hanks who can be compared with Hugo - he not only won the best actor but also won the love of all ages in the United States, but Tom's brilliant works are still not enough, and they do not meet the standard of qualitative change.

Hugo has completely completed the transformation, from "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea", "Sleepless in Seattle", to "Schindler's List", "Speed of Life and Death", and then to "Vulgar" and "Seven Deadly Sins", the accumulation of powerful and rich works has made Hugo the only top superstar in today's North American film industry in one fell swoop, with box office and awards, word-of-mouth and popularity, acting skills and strength...... All of them have top strength, leading the earth-shaking changes and progress of the entire Hollywood.

What's more, the "Seven Deadly Sins" swept the box office of $290 million overseas, which also made people realize for the first time that Hugo's strong appeal around the world was truly felt.

Now Hugo is not only a unique top superstar in North America, but also synonymous with Hollywood in overseas markets. Hugo is equal to Hollywood, which means that Hugo has become the spokesperson of North America in a certain way, and the cooperation between major film companies and Hugo will have a more comprehensive and in-depth development.

Of course, for major film companies, Hugo's $10 million salary when he took over the filming of "Seven Deadly Sins" turned out to be a global salary of $485 million, which is also worth referencing, Hugo deserves to be the first cost-effective actor in Hollywood. In the earth-shattering victory of "Seven Deadly Sins", Hugo can get 5% of the North American box office, which means that Hugo can get a dividend of 9.75 million before tax, in other words, Hugo's salary for filming "Seven Deadly Sins" is a well-deserved 20 million!

Although the 20 million of "Seven Deadly Sins" seems to be not enough compared to the 30 million level of "vulgar" and "speed of life and death", no one will forget: Hugo is only a supporting role in the "Seven Deadly Sins".

With a supporting role with a salary of 20 million US dollars, even in the long history of the movie, Hugo is undoubtedly unique, which has further become the best proof that Hugo is among the top superstars!
