Chapter 46： released
On August 26, with no premiere, no red carpet, and no media presence, "Saw" began to be screened in North American theaters, with 580 screens opening on the first day.
It is a little less than the original estimate of 650 screens. There is no way that Hollywood theater companies are so cheating.
Even Twentieth Century Fox, behind Fox Searchlight Pictures, couldn't do anything about it.
How many screens can be opened on the first day of a film is very important for the box office. For example, "Forrest Gump", "The Lion King", and "True Lies" have at least 2,000 screens on the first day .
Almost all of the top ten films at the North American box office in the past few years have opened more than 1,000 screens on the first day.
Therefore, the number of 580 screens opened on the first day is not very good for "Chain Saw", but it is not too bad.
Fortunately, this is only the number of screens released on the first day, and the next few months will be the off-season for the box office. As long as the box office trend of "Chain Saw" is stable in the first week, the theater companies themselves will increase the number of screens without the initiative of the distribution company. quantity.
On the 26th, as the summer vacation was coming to an end, the number of people coming and going in the movie theater was obviously less, and there was no long queue for ticket sales.
However, there are still many young people who come here, most of them are students who have returned to school early, watching a movie with their classmates, and having a good time.
"Is there any suitable movie to watch together? There are five of us!" A young man asked in a small group of three men and two women, all of whom were college students.
The conductor replied without thinking: "True Lies starring Arnold Schwarzenegger is very popular, and the newly released "Natural Born Killers" and "Speed" are very good."
The former "True Lies" is directed by James Cameron and stars Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The latter "Natural Born Killers" is a new film released today, which tells the story of a couple's journey to kill people, and "Speed" is a thrilling action film.
The three films are all types that young people like to watch.
"Arnold Schwarzenegger!"
There was a hint of surprise on his face, obviously he is also a Schwarzenegger fan, just as he was about to buy five tickets for "True Lies", a boy behind him pulled him and pointed to the ticket posted on the ticket window. promotional poster, asking, "What is this film?"
The conductor glanced at the promotional poster and said, ""Saw", a horror movie, seems to be filmed at a murder scene, and the plot is very horrifying. It is said that the producer intentionally prohibits the elderly and people with heart disease history from watching it. "
Horror movie!
The boy glanced back secretly, and the two girls not far away, and the two boys beside him immediately understood, "Here are five "Saw" tickets, and the seats are a little further back."
When watching a movie with girls, the more frightening the better.
"Good sir."
The conductor quickly discovered that most of the people who bought "Chain Saw" were young people, and they all had a common feature, that is, several young men and women came together.
On the contrary, horror movie lovers, not many.
A group of young men and women watching a horror movie together is something most men can relate to.
In this way, there is a phenomenon that few people buy a single ticket, and almost always buy several tickets, or even more than ten tickets.
After buying tickets, they bought some sodas and popcorn. They didn't come to the screening hall to sit down until the film was about to be shown.
Two girls sat in the middle, two of the boys were very self-conscious, and sat next to the **** one side, only one boy was a little dumbfounded, so he could only sit aside by himself.
Soon the screen began to show, and the two boys who sat next to the girl almost focused their attention on the girl beside them, and began to imagine some unhealthy images in their minds.
The title is very beautiful, a mermaid slowly swims by, and gently writes the abbreviation of Ryan Film Studio with both hands.
Ryan spent tens of thousands of dollars for this title, and asked Pixar Animation Studios to do it.
The famous animated feature film "Toy Story" has not been released yet, otherwise the title would not be tens of thousands of dollars.
But the price of tens of thousands of dollars is still very high.
Of course, I have to admit that the technology of Pixar Animation Studios is absolutely top-notch.
At the beginning of the film, the scene of the protagonist waking up in the bathtub was startling as soon as he appeared.
The following plot is not as horrifying as imagined, but with a hint of deep meaning in the fear, as if it is a detective drama.
When Amanda Yang, played by Monica Bellucci, started to appear on the stage, many men in the screening hall all showed amazing feelings. Without **** outfits, people still felt a feeling of being amazing.
The camera suddenly changed to the scene where two people are weighing the weight. The meat is cut and weighed, and the lighter one will be drilled to death by an electric drill.
The novel way of death and the scene of flying flesh and blood are the most eye-catching.
It can be said that these plots are completely different from traditional horror films, creating a new era of fear.
"Damn Tom, he chose such a disgusting movie. The director must be a **** killer." One of the girls was terrified and couldn't help complaining.
"It's a good way to kill people, maybe we can scare those timid guys." Another girl watched with relish.
Timid guy!
As soon as this remark came out, the three boys swallowed in unison.
There are not many audiences in the screening hall in front of you, only a dozen or so.
At this time, most people looked terrified, and some even covered their mouths with their hands, for fear of accidentally vomiting.
"It's horrible, I, I, I...I want a refund."
The timid one began to tremble all over, but his eyes were fixed on the screen, never leaving.
Anyone who has watched horror movies knows that the more scary they feel, the more they can't help but want to watch it.
"A very exciting horror movie, really exciting." A black middle-aged man saw the wonderful place and waved his hand vigorously, wishing to go up there himself.
The reason is very simple. All the dead in the film are white people. For a black man who is often bullied by white people, he can't wait to become one of them.
As the plot progresses, not only becomes more and more frightening, but the plot also becomes very bizarre. Who is the real murderer?
At first, most people thought that, like usual horror movies, the murderer must be the nurse.
But the following plot was a big surprise, the nurse was not the murderer at all.
Here, a very touching scene was staged on the film. The doctor amputated his own leg abruptly in order to save his wife and daughter.
Beneath the gore, horror, and fear, lies family, kinship, and warmth.
The following plot is still ups and downs. When many people thought the film was over, the sudden appearance of the jigsaw surprised people again.
The ending was completely unexpected, and it can be described as a stroke of genius.
"God, I actually missed that scene just now. UU Reading "
A loyal viewer of a horror movie wailed, fearing that he would have to buy a ticket to watch it again.
At the end of the screening, subtitles began to appear on the screen. Director Ryan Gosling, screenwriter Ryan Gosling, producer Ryan Gosling, executive producer Sofia Coppola, assistant director Sofia Coppola .
This time Helen did not serve as executive producer, but Sophia.
Anyone who has a little knowledge of film production or Hollywood, can feel a little emotion from the subtitles.
The following is a situation that has to be like this.
It is conceivable that under what conditions the director of the film shot an excellent horror film.
For a moment, some audience members couldn't help standing up and applauding.
As the audience walked out of the auditorium, some of them couldn't help talking.
"A great horror movie, I haven't felt this way in a long time."
"Do any of you know who the director of the film, Ryan Gosling is?"
"I don't know, I haven't heard of it. It should be a new director, but the name of executive producer and assistant director Sofia Coppola seems familiar."
"Sofia Coppola?"
Someone repeated it several times, and suddenly remembered that the leading actor in the film was Nicolas Cage, "Could it be someone from the Coppola family!"
In "Saw", the only famous actor is Nicolas Cage.
"The actress who plays Amanda Young is amazing, it's a shame it's a horror movie, otherwise it would be very eye-catching."
As soon as this remark came out, most people agreed with it. Almost all men couldn't help admiring Monica Bellucci's beauty and figure.
It is a little less than the original estimate of 650 screens. There is no way that Hollywood theater companies are so cheating.
