Chapter 1309： Shocking
When people look back on the history of film development, everyone will lament that 1994 was an irreplaceable position in film history. Relatively speaking, 1995 was a lot less favorable. However, 1995 was also an indispensable link in the historical development of the entire film industry. In particular, the film industry originated and confronted the entire traditional media industry. For the first time in history, ordinary people’s "self-view" consciousness shocked the decision. From the rebellion on August 5 to the release of the "Seven Deadly Sins" in the fourth week of September, these are important links in this historical event.
This also makes 1995 occupy a very important position in the history of American news development and cultural change.
The "Seven Deadly Sins" were born under the background of such a cultural wave. Perhaps as far as the film itself is concerned, the quality cannot be compared with the "Silent Lamb", and the depth is not as good as the "Pulp Fiction", but the fact is, this Relying on its own excavation of social issues and the ingenious arrangement of the story structure, the film established its own position in film history. In the next ten years of history, the "seven deadly sins" have always occupied an unshakable position in the top 250 of imdb, and the top 25 has been held high throughout the year. This shows that this movie is in the hearts of movie fans. Status.
In the fourth week of September, the "Seven Deadly Sins" dominated the North American box office charts with a horrific score of 34 million U.S. dollars, swept the wasteland and occupied the championship, and the runner-up "Yan. Dance Girl" only gained eight. At the box office of one million dollars, this achievement is already very impressive for September, but under the background of the "seven deadly sins", it has almost reduced to a transparent person. Previously, the two-week-old champion, the "Fantastic Females" scored four million US dollars in the box office and slipped to the third place.
Except for these three works, no film has a box office of more than three million US dollars. Not only can you see the desertedness and loneliness in September, you can also clearly feel the strength of the "seven deadly sins" in the entire film market.
At this time, the "seven deadly sins" can almost be said to occupy the right time and place. It has been praised by the film critics, praised by the audience, and has an advantage in social issues. There is only such a box office giant in September. Under various favorable circumstances, the film’s second-week championship is basically the result of no suspense, even for the "Houston Chronicle", "USA Today", and "San Francisco Chronicle" who are not interested in movies. There is no denying this fact, because the numbers will not lie.
But the question is, with the "seven deadly sins" being all-round strong, how much can the box office drop next week?
In the fifth week of September, another batch of cannon fodder attacked in North America. Unfortunately, these works were timid before the battle, whether it was the classic horror film series "Moonlight Panic 6: Black Horror Night (:the/curse.of...). myers)”, or the thriller and suspense movie "Blue Devil (.in.a.blue.dress starring Denzel-Washington, or the family comedy "the..green", both are taken. Not enough confidence to come.
Especially for the "Blue Devil" who crashed with the theme of "Seven Deadly Sins", the publishing company Sony Pictures is almost in a state of giving up. There are only one thousand and two hundred theaters in theaters, and it's a posture of letting it crush.
The fact is also true. Under the positive effects of many aspects, the "Seven Deadly Sins" were not challenged this week, and the sluggish September created conditions for this work to sweep the army, and almost all audiences flocked to the cinema. , All came only for the "seven deadly sins", which also made the "seven deadly sins" drop by only twelve percentage points the following week, and won the box office of 29.9 million US dollars in the next week, and easily re-elected. North American weekend box office champion!
The box office drop of 12% reminds people of the "speed of life and death" of Yiqi Juechen last summer. At the time, "speed of life and death" was also a 30 million-level premiere box office, and then the war became more courageous for four consecutive weeks. It won 20 million box office and even surpassed the brilliance of "Jurassic Park", creating a miracle with a small scale.
And now, the "Seven Deadly Sins" actually grabbed 29.9 million US dollars in the box office the next week. This data not only surpassed the 27 million US dollars in the next week of "Life and Death", but also exceeded this year's summer file. "Batman Forever" became the runner-up at the box office the next week of movie history, only lagging behind "Jurassic Park", which had a box office of 30 million the next week.
At this time, people are already completely out of words. If the "speed of life and death" is a miracle, people can also say that this was originally a commercial popcorn movie, and it was in the summer file with the most concentrated audience traffic; then the "seven deadly sins" ? People can hardly find any bright spots worth making history, but it has become such a myth that shocked the entire United States!
What is even more shocking is that people have become accustomed to this. "Life and Death" invested 28 million dollars, while "Seven Deadly Sins" invested only 30 million U.S. dollars. Now, "Seven Deadly Sins" "Sin" not only recovered the book cost during the premiere weekend, but also sprinted to 73 million U.S. dollars in the box office in two weeks. New-line film companies can already announce that the film has entered a profit model in advance.
Although every Hollywood person knows that Hugo is currently the most cost-effective actor in the United States-and even the world, they are still shocked by Hugo's outstanding performance time and time again. From now on, Hugo is simply A money tree, a banknote printing machine, and any work that Hugo favors will immediately make a lot of money.
Even the "before sunrise" used by the "New York Post" as an objection case is currently gaining both fame and fortune. The investment of 2.5 million US dollars in exchange for a global return of 85 million, and also reaped Berlin. The Silver Bear Award for Best Director of the Film Festival. At the time of the major awards ceremony at the end of this year, many people took this work out and said that this work is hopeful in the director, screenwriter, and actor. , Heroine and other awards.
People in the circle jokingly call Hugo a golden hand, but now it seems that this is not a joke at all, it is completely true!
Judging from the trend of the box office data in the previous two weeks, the box office of the "Seven Deadly Sins" has exceeded 100 million yuan. There is no doubt that it is not difficult to surpass the box office record of the "Silent Lamb". The problem is that the "Seven Deadly Sins" can be Has the box office passed the 200 million threshold like "Life and Death"?
In the fifth week of September, the crushing of the "Seven Deadly Sins" brought a wailing sound from other works. The highest box office of this week, "Moonlight Panic 6: Black Fright Night", only received 6 million US dollars at the box office, which topped the list. Weekly North American weekend box office rankings runner-up, this is really a dumbfounding situation, but at the same time it can only lament the strength of the "seven deadly sins" more and more.
After these two works, the box office of "Green" and "Blue Devil" were both less than 5 million U.S. dollars, occupying the third and third place respectively, and their results were dismal. As for the fifth place, last week’s runner-up, "Dance Girl", the box office of this work that no one is optimistic about plummeted by 60% this week, and the weekend box office has fallen to the edge of three million, four thousand and five. A million investment seems to be lost.
Different from "Life and Death Hour" and "Pulp Fiction" when they created historical records, their competitors in the same period can be said to be strong players. Especially the former, they need to challenge the "Lion King" and "Forrest Gump" in the summer file. The powerful impact of works such as "True Lies" and "The Seven Deadly Sins" hardly felt any challenge in the autumn file. The original plan of the New Line Film Company really broke out at this time, and there is nothing worth mentioning. In the case of the opponent mentioned, the "seven deadly sins" can be said to be a great success.
However, it is clear that there is not only one new line film company for smart people, but there are many film companies with the same wishful thinking, among which Warner Bros. is the best.
Before the "Seven Deadly Sins" turned out, the "Last Assassin" launched by Warner Bros. in the first week of October was widely regarded as a box office giant.
The "Last Assassin" invested a full US$50 million, and the cast of the cast was extremely powerful. It was directed by the "Deadly Weapon" series, "Superman", "Gambler Mahuali", and the producer of "Whale Breaking the Sky". Off (free. and other outstanding commercial action film heavyweight director Richard Downer (.) picked up the guide tube, the cast invited Sylvester Stallone, Antonio Banderas and Julianne -Moore (.) Joint performance.
It is worth mentioning that the screenwriters of this work are Andy Wachowski (andy.) and Larry Wachowski (larry., later) who will rely on the "Matrix" to become famous all over the world in the future. Transgender, renamed Lana Wachowski), this is the debut of their two brothers.
It can be seen that This is a work with great potential. Warner Bros. once hoped to arrange this work in the summer file, but after careful consideration, we decided to put the film in a more sure way. It is released in the fall season with the same idea as the new line film company.
Warner Bros. scheduled the "Last Assassin" to be released in October because September was an abandoned schedule. They at least looked for the potential of October from last year's "Pulp Fiction", hoping that without competitors, " In the end, the Assassin was able to dominate the box office.
Before the outbreak of the "Seven Deadly Sins", the "Last Assassin" was also widely regarded by insiders, who believed that this work could make a difference in the autumn file, and it was also very promising that the box office exceeded 100 million yuan.
But the current situation has completely deviated from the expected track of Warner Bros. In September, the "Seven Deadly Sins" had already landed first, almost dragging the entire market into the "Seven Deadly Sins" screening hall, and the "Last Assassin" was lost instead. First move. But the "Last Assassin" has lost the opportunity, and Warner Bros. can only bite the bullet.
The "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Last Assassin" duel also added a touch of suspense to the slightly boring autumn file. In the first week of October, in the face of the impact of the "Last Assassin", New Line Film Company did not retreat but moved forward and increased in one fell swoop. One hundred theaters have been further expanded, demonstrating their strong self-confidence!
This also makes 1995 occupy a very important position in the history of American news development and cultural change.
