Chapter 996: Break the siege

\"&  As the most tasteless autumn season of the year, there are actually not many films released. Although major film companies know that it is almost impossible to win the box office during this schedule, it is impossible to give up this schedule. Yes-at any point in time, there will be audiences walking into the cinema, no matter how many, these are the box office, are all benefits.

Therefore, there is still competition for the autumn archives, but under normal circumstances there will be two situations, either a bunch of abandoned sons gather, a pile of movies abandoned by film companies pile up here, let the audience let the audience, see which one can rise, or How much cost can be recovered; either it has a small quality, but it is still not enough to compete with other works. It is placed in this weakly competitive schedule, hoping to achieve unexpected results.

The second week of October is the latter.

"Although he returned home with a reputation in Cannes, objectively speaking, this work with an investment of only 8 million US dollars has a unique style and outstanding personality. It is still unknown whether it can win the recognition of the broad market. "Pulp fiction" is considered to be the "90s". In fact, there is also a meaning that this work is high and low, and is highly sought after by film critics, but it is not necessarily able to drive the box office.

Under such circumstances, it is definitely not practical to ""go to the summer or Christmas time to compete, and it may become cannon fodder." Choosing to be released in October, the deserted season, is to hold the second idea: I hope that "Pulp Fiction" can rely on the appeal of Cannes Palme d'Or and Hugo to win by surprise.

At least, the cost of 8 million U.S. dollars is still very promising to recover.

However, the Weinstein brothers were obviously not confident about the autumn season. In the absence of publicity expenses, they finally arranged only 1,400 theaters for online screenings, which can be said to have just reached the standard for large-scale screenings.

In the same week, three other films had their national premieres, which also made the second week of October quite lively. On the one hand, these movies are not afraid of the momentum of ""-or it can be said. On the other hand, it can be seen that the major film companies obviously don't care about the deserted autumn files, unlike the summer files, which are adjusted every week. They are all involved, and the schedule here is quite random.

Among these three works, the . released is undoubtedly the most champion-like. This kid who has caught up with the post-"" trend combines children and rugby together, hoping to make a **** road. Warner Bros. has arranged two thousand theaters for online screenings, which is full of confidence.

The classic horror film series, new. is also released this week. Due to the strong appeal of the previous series, this has given publishers a lot of confidence. They arranged 1,800 theaters.

In addition, the production and distribution of the TV movie "Courage to Happy Island (...eden will be shown in 1,600 theaters. It seems that I want to try it in the autumn stage. Even if it fails, it won't hurt.

Compared with the other three premiere works, "" is ranked last in terms of both theaters and investment costs. Therefore, although the film won the Cannes Palme d'Or, many media outlets still gave a conservative three-day box office estimate of $5 million in the pre-box office forecast.

Most media believe that the "Bomb Expert (the. released last week is very likely. This $45 million investment is an absolute predator in the autumn archive, and it is co-starred by -. It also gives people a reason to expect greater expectations.

The "Bomb Expert" won a box office of 14 million last week. This achievement set a new box office record for the premiere of North American film history in October-it is worth mentioning that a weekend box office of 14 million US dollars It is enough to become the current October box office record in North America, which shows that the autumn stalls are deserted. Therefore, the probability of a "bomb expert" this week is generally considered to be more than 80%.

But the problem is that after "" landed in North America on October 14, the midnight show broke out with a box office of 1.17 million U.S. dollars. This is not only the highest box office record for the morning and evening show in North American film history; it also made people the first. I officially realized that the midnight scene is not an occasion to pass the time. Although the idea is still just a seed, when the time comes, the seed will begin to sprout and grow; at the same time, this also means that the media predicted the "five "Million Dollars" box office far underestimated the energy of "Pulp Fiction", this is only midnight, not the first day of box office!

The box office battle has just started on the weekend of the second week of October, "" made history with a terrifying posture and made its debut, and the next box office trend made everyone want to blind their eyes: even so. Dare to believe the facts before me.

""On Friday, he directly grabbed five million US dollars in the box office. This achievement was the first to create a record high in the box office of North America in October. Then on Saturday, the box office showed a slight upward curve and got 650. Achievement of 100,000 U.S. dollars; on Sunday, although the performance had declined a bit, it still maintained the level of 5.3 million U.S. dollars.

This also allowed "" to grab $16.8 million in the box office in three days at the premiere weekend, easily breaking the historical record set by "Bomb Expert" just last week!

The box office of a single library was US$12,000, and only 1,400 theaters. "" Handed in a perfect answer sheet, breaking the box office record of North American film history in October across the board, and winning the second place in October with an undisputed king. Week's North American Weekend Box Office Ranking Champion!

This is the fifth consecutive work that Hugo has won the North American Box Office Championship since "". With such consistency, consistency, and appeal, it is undoubtedly the first person in the North American market today!

More importantly, the weekend box office data of 16.8 million US dollars, compared with the cost of only 8 million US dollars, ""It only took three days to recover the book cost, even after the theater chain and the drama group were formed. Profits are all determined. This is definitely the most cost-effective investment ever.

Although before that, Hugo had created such a miracle, ""21 million investment in exchange for 189 million US dollars in the box office in North America; "" 22 million investment in exchange for North America's box office of 205 million US dollars; "" 28 million US dollars of investment in exchange for North American box office of 239 million US dollars.

But "" As a special one, it can be said that there is no hot spot, no commercial attraction, no profit, and 5 million of the 8 million investment is paid to the actors, only three. Millions are the real cost, but it turned out to be such a brilliant achievement in the first week of the show.

Hugo's appeal in the North American film market has been further confirmed.

Not to mention, this is the autumn file, a deserted, miserable October, "" but such amazing energy still burst out. The US$16.8 million weekend box office, except for the summer season, is enough data to compete for the championship at any other time slot. However, "Pulp Fiction" was won in October, which is generally regarded as a tasteless by major companies. With such data, this really refreshes everyone's deep-rooted concept of the autumn stalls.

After the "" premiere box office exploded with astonishing energy, a group of competitors retreated. The box office of "Bomb Expert" plummeted by 45 percent. The box office next week was only 7.7 million U.S. dollars, and the total box office in the two weeks was 260. Millions of dollars, this is not good news for the "bomb experts" who invested 45 million dollars. The co-starring of two actors known as "box office superstars" is obviously not good at the box office.

The other three movies are even more tragic. "" Relying on the appeal of the previous work, they performed the best and won the premiere box office of 6.6 million; "" was a big hit, 2,000 theaters. The premiere of, pitifully won the box office of 4.7 million US dollars; "Brave to Happy Island" is the most sad reminder, the premiere weekend box office of 3 million has announced the complete death of this work in advance.

The performances of "Forrest Gump", "The Lion King", "The Lion King", who are still on the list this week, are no longer amazing, but they are still continuous. However, there is a very special figure this week, that is, "Shawshank's Redemption", which was expanded in 950 theaters.

The film was first screened in the first week, and then gradually expanded This week is the fourth week of its release, but unfortunately, the box office performance was not satisfactory, and media reviews were always generally. After the expansion in the 950 room in the fourth week of the screening, the box office of the single library was only US$2,500, and the box office of the three days weekend was 2.4 million, and the cumulative box office was 7.1 million, compared with US$25 million. As far as investment is concerned, it is not an exaggeration even if it is said to be a "disastrous defeat".

The reason for mentioning this work is that many people in the circle feel that it is very novel. Hugo was infinitely close to "Shawshank's salvation". This is not a secret. It can be seen from Hugo’s vision of the selection of films in the past two years that Hugo’s vision is very unique. The works he chooses always have their brilliance. The simplest are the two recent scripts of "" and "". It was a choice that made the entire Hollywood unexpected.

Well, since Hugo would choose "Shawshank's Redemption", it shows that this movie has merits. But now... insiders are puzzled. Where are the highlights? Could it be said that "Shawshank's Redemption" is the only work that Hugo has missed, and Hugo just missed it. Is this supposed to be said that Hugo is lucky, or is it love?

However, these topics have always been just embellishments. ""The best premiere of North American film history in October is to win this week's championship. This is the biggest attraction! supply.
