Chapter 1310: Destroying the withered and decaying

In the first week of October, everyone is watching the showdown between The Last Assassin and the Seven Deadly Sins. That being said, it is well known that the victory of the "Seven Deadly Sins" is largely unquestionable, but the problem is that the Hugo vs. Brad showdown that people were originally concerned about dissipated like a puff of smoke, and there was nothing to hype about, and at the behest of the innovative artist's agency - in order to avoid further humiliation, the topic was not further discussed.

Therefore, the strength of the "Seven Deadly Sins" has become the only attraction, and in such a situation, the appearance of "The Last Assassin" has made the box office trend fluctuate a little - not only has a strong background, but the scale of the 2,400 theaters is enough to launch a strong challenge to the "Seven Deadly Sins". What people care about is not winning or losing, but how much impact the "Last Assassin" can bring to the "Seven Deadly Sins", and even whether they can turn over and become a "dark horse".

The "Last Assassin", who was widely regarded as a dark horse, became a dark horse at this time, which is like a bad joke, but it really happened. However, this view has also been proven to be justified.

Although "The Last Assassin" was released in 2,400 theaters, the box office of a single theater did not even cross the 4,000 threshold, and as a result, it "only" handed over a box office of 9 million US dollars, which obviously lacked impact.

There is a gap between contrasts, and this sentence is vividly reflected in "The Last Assassin", with a box office of nine million dollars before the "Seven Deadly Sins", which is enough to rank among the top 20 at the box office of the fall debut, and it can easily win the championship at any time in the past. Although the number jù is not outstanding, especially when compared to the investment cost of 50 million US dollars, this premiere number jù is really unsatisfactory, but objectively speaking, 9 million is not a cold one, at least it is much better than the previous number of "glamorous women" who won the championship of 6 million.

But putting the $9 million weekend box office figure in front of the 34 million premiere figure turns all language into quibble. Even if it is not compared with the premiere box office of "Seven Deadly Sins", the box office of the second and third weeks, "The Last Assassin" is obviously not on the same level.

Under the fierce impact of the "Last Assassin", the further expanded "Seven Deadly Sins" once again delivered a stunning answer, with a drop of 15% biting down on the weekend box office of $25.4 million.

Thriller and suspense movies and commercial action movies are completely different, the former has struggled to break 100 million at the box office, and the latter has a box office of 200 million Although it is difficult, the box office of 100 million is everywhere, and the appeal of the two in the North American box office market can be said to be very different.

Therefore, the box office of "Speed of Life and Death" broke 200 million, although it was surprising, but it was still within the range of common sense. But if the "Seven Deadly Sins" reach this threshold, it will be completely shocking!

"Seven Deadly Sins" was released for three weeks, not only occupying the runner-up position in the box office history list in the third week, but also chasing "Jurassic Park"; At the same time, the cumulative box office in three weeks also officially broke through the threshold of 100 million, reaching 100 million and 3 million US dollars in one fell swoop! In this way, a series of records set by "The Silence of the Lambs" will be replaced, which is no longer the result of any doubt, and now people need to look forward to: where will the final box office of "Seven Deadly Sins" go, and will the follow-up box office endurance of thriller and suspense movies really be able to hold on to the threshold of 200 million?

In the third week of its release, the cumulative box office of "Seven Deadly Sins" directly exceeded 100 million US dollars, and at the same time, the weekend box office once again handed over 20 million, and the 9 million US dollars of "The Last Assassin" was beaten to the point that he had no temper at all.

The North American box office in the first week of October still came to an end without any suspense, "Seven Deadly Sins" easily achieved three consecutive championships, "The Final Assassin" ranked second, and other works still failed to exceed 5 million at the weekend box office.

In the absence of any competitors, the box office trend of "Seven Deadly Sins" completely presents a devastating posture, not to mention confrontation in other films, and they are not even qualified to fight.

In the second week of October, "Seven Deadly Sins" snatched $21 million at the box office with a box office drop of 17 percent, and the box office exceeded 20 million for four consecutive weeks, which also tied the record set by "Speed of Life and Death", but interestingly, "Seven Deadly Sins" beat "Jurassic Park" in the fourth week of box office, but still ranked second, and the box office record holder in the fourth week of release was "Speed of Life and Death".

It can be seen from this horizontal comparison that the "Seven Deadly Sins" are still in a state of exhaustion after all, and the box office numbers of the same period in the first three weeks are on par with the "Speed of Life and Death", and even the box office of the premiere and the next week is slightly better than the "Speed of Life and Death", but in the fourth week, the "Seven Deadly Sins" can not maintain its advantage, and even lags behind the box office of "Life and Death" in the same period by nearly two million dollars.

The gap is gradually revealed, which can also be seen in the innate gap between thriller and suspense movies and commercial action movies in terms of genre. It's like "Pulp Fiction" has a huge momentum, but the final box office still failed to cross the 200 million threshold, "Seven Deadly Sins" due to the innate disadvantage of the theme, with the advantage of social change and cultural waves, has created a brilliant four consecutive weeks, which is already very rare, as for whether it can cross the 200 million threshold in the future, only wait for the film market to give an answer.

Although the cumulative box office of the "Seven Deadly Sins" in the same period was almost the same as the "speed of life and death", it initially showed a decline. However, in the fourth week of its release, it handed over a 17% drop and a weekend box office of 21 million, ranking second in film history, which is still an incredible achievement. It can be said that the strength of the "Seven Deadly Sins" simply cannot find an opponent.

This week, except for the "Seven Deadly Sins", the box office of other works is all less than six million, and the gap can be said to be very different, and the autumn file has become a standout of the "Seven Deadly Sins".

In the third week of October, the "Seven Deadly Sins" saw a 20 percent drop in the box office, which was the first five-year winning streak in 1995! surpassed the four consecutive championships of the summer file "Apollo 13", creating a new peak, and making the "Seven Deadly Sins" occupy a very important place in the film market throughout the year.

This week's runner-up "Shorty Guy Takes the Road" (get. The $30 million comedy film starring John Travolta and Gene Hackman was a huge hit after its release, not only receiving a round of praise, but also earning $12 million at the weekend box office, making it the second film in the past seven weeks to break the $10 million threshold for a three-day weekend in addition to the "Seven Deadly Sins."

Of course, this "excellent table" is only relative, if the box office of the premiere of "The Short Man in the Road" is overshadowed in front of the number of weeks in the past four weeks of the "Seven Deadly Sins", it can only be said to be the tallest among the short ones, and compared to its investment of 30 million, in the autumn release, the box office number of "The Short Man in the Road" is still worthy of praise.

But the only focus of attention this week is still the "Seven Deadly Sins", there is no doubt that with the five consecutive championships, this week's "Seven Deadly Sins" also officially surpassed the "Silence of the Lambs" with a box office of $154 million, surpassing the $130 million of "The Silence of the Lambs", becoming the new box office champion in the history of serial killer films and thriller and suspense films!

Although it is said that this is a suspense, in the face of the absolute strength of the first five weeks of the "Seven Deadly Sins", this can hardly be said to be a suspense, because the "Seven Deadly Sins" almost used a state of sprint to complete the transcendence of the "Silence of the Lambs" in just five weeks, and such a strong expression was almost strangled in the cradle for the first time.

No matter what people think of the work "Seven Deadly Sins" in the future, there is no doubt that its achievements at the box office are unsurpassed, "Seven Deadly Sins" not only surpassed the "Silence of the Lambs", but also became a coordinate in film history, and the box office record it created by Zào has not been surpassed until 2014, and it has always been the champion of serial killer genre works in film history, which is out of reach.

As a thriller and suspense film that is not very popular at the box office, "The Seven Deadly Sins" not only sets a benchmark and sets countless records, but more importantly, it proves that this type of film also has box office potential, and in this regard, "The Seven Deadly Sins", like "Pulp Fiction", "Schindler's List", "Sleepless in Seattle" and other works, have left an important mark in the history of their respective genres.

From this point of view, in the 90s, when there were many classic masterpieces, Hugo also quietly became an irreplaceable coordinate of American film culture and social culture in the 90s in his way!

It can be seen from this week's box office list that the "Short Man Reigns" table xiàn has an impact that "The Last Assassin" does not have, although the impact is still limited, but at the same time, "Seven Deadly Sins" will inevitably begin to go down with the release time of more than five weeks, which has nothing to do with the film itself, but is determined by the scope of the film market itself.

Faced with such a situation, people are speculating whether there will be a change of dynasty in the North American box office charts in the coming week. After all, in the third week of October, the advantage of 17 million in the "Seven Deadly Sins" over the 12 million in the "Dwarf in charge" was no longer so obvious, and of course, the initiative was still in the hands of the "Seven Deadly Sins."

In the past five weeks, for the first time, there was suspense in the position of the top box office leader, a little suspense, when the box office charts were announced in the fourth week of October, "Seven Deadly Sins" still continued its strong momentum, grabbing 12 million US dollars at the box office in three days over the weekend, defeating the excellent "Short Man in the Lead" and winning the championship again this week, which also made the champion of "Seven Deadly Sins" continue to win the number of weeks to six weeks!

Six consecutive championships! The "Seven Deadly Sins" continued its sweeping trend with a perfect attitude!
