In fact, this situation occurred as early as last year's "Night Visit to Vampire". Many media believed that Tom Cruise had dedicated his best performance in his career. The evil and gloomy vampire image fully demonstrated Tom's beauty; but relatively speaking, Brad Pitt's performance was stiff and vague. He was originally a role with a greater space to play, but Brad's role was dull, and Brad's strong and bright image was far from the pale and fragile vampire.

However, the gap between the two is not that huge, and "Night Visit to Vampire" was originally a work that relied on the beauty of the two male protagonists, so there were still many praises about Brad at that time, which also allowed Brad to reach a new high in his career.

But this time Brad did not have such good luck in the "Seven Deadly Sins". The sharp contrast with Hugo completely made Brad at a loss. In the face of Hugo's outstanding performance, Brad not only had no chance at all, but also completely exposed all his shortcomings and loopholes. It can be said that this is a duel in which even his underwear lost.

The "Seven Deadly Sins" are also believed by many media. This is a work in which everyone can see clearly the huge gap between Brad and Hugo. Now in terms of performance, it is difficult for anyone from the baby boomer generation to stand on the same level as Hugo, including Tom Cruise, who was nominated for Oscars many years ago.

From the evaluations of acting by many media, we can see that putting aside the finished film, the media also gained the upper hand for movies with positive reviews, which also made the audience who had never watched the movie more curious about the "Seven Deadly Sins", further stimulated the audience to enter the cinema.

Praise some, criticize some, discuss some, ignore some... After the premiere of "Seven Deadly Sins", a total of 22 professional film reviews were obtained. This is the number after deducting the editorials related to the "Los Angeles Times" film review. This number is really a big surprise. In the end, the media comprehensive score of "Seven Deadly Sins" came to 75 points.

Seventy-five points, this result can be regarded as a surprise for a thrilling and suspense movie, which means that more than two-thirds of the media have expressed their recognition of the movie.

It is worth mentioning that the horror, horror movies, which have never been able to achieve good results in the audience's ratings, have received a super high score of "b+" in the theater scores.

Since thriller and horror movies are often too scary, affecting the audience's rating psychology, and at the same time, this type of movie is also easy to be shoddy, so not many people can reach "b". However, this time, the "Seven Deadly Sins" even came to the incredible "a-" after the premiere, which made many people fall into their glasses.

However, young volcanoes accounted for the majority of the premiere, which also affected the objectivity of the score. After that, as more and more viewers entered the cinema, the audience scores declined, but in the end they still got "b+", which shows that the movie was greatly recognized.

This situation was something that many people did not expect, the thrilling and suspenseful nature of the "Seven Deadly Sins", the obstacles to the release of the cold September schedule, the embarrassment and unhappiness between reporters and Hugo, the disastrous defeat of director David Finch's directorial debut, and the unknown screenwriter... All of this seems to indicate that the prospect of the "Seven Deadly Sins" is covered with a layer of fog, but the storm caused after the release of the movie shocked everyone.

First of all, the movie has received good reviews among the always tricky film critics. If it weren't for the "Seven Deadly Sins" that were the worst-ever Hugo's work since "Seattle Sleeping Night" that "Seattle Sleeping Night" had a 73-point media review, and the theater score was "b+", people would even begin to doubt the harshness, and strict film critics have been subdued by Hugo.

Secondly, a film review by the Los Angeles Times actually kicked off a vigorous discussion on the land of the United States, and even pushed the August resistance to a new peak, becoming one of the important issues in next year's presidential election.

This is an unimaginable situation for any movie. The "Seven Deadly Sins" have risen from the level of a simple film work to a new level, becoming an important catalyst in the history of media change, and will also be solemnly recorded in history like "vulgar novels".

Can anyone really expect such a situation? Even Hugo himself was completely dumbfounded and could not believe it.

The "Seven Deadly Sins" made a brilliant debut under such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Although September is a deserted period, it is interesting to note that MGM invested $45 million to produce "Showgirls" and also chose to premiere the same week as "Seven Deadly Sins".

"Yan. Dancer" is directed by Paul Verhoeven, the director of "Ben. Neng". It was originally considered to have the potential to make a difference in the box office market. It does not expect to achieve something like "Ben. Neng". At least it can create topics. Unfortunately, it was criticized after the internal trial, so MGM broke the candle and found a schedule in September, so it was scheduled to be released.

But the interesting thing is here. They actually chose the same schedule as the "Seven Deadly Sins". Of course, this can also be understood as September is a deserted schedule, and any schedule is actually not much different. However, the big players behind MGM and New Line Film Company are hard not to remember that Hugo refused the "007" invitation to perform.

However, "The Dance Girl" only arranged 1,400 theaters to be released in theaters, which is more than one weaker than the 2,500 "Seven Deadly Sins". Perhaps MGM really gave up this work.

Facts also prove that MGM had to give up. After the premiere of "Yang. Dancer", the media's comprehensive review was only 16 points, and the theater score was only "c-", which can be said to be a complete failure. It is almost impossible to make a difference in the face of "Seven Deadly Sins". I can only hope for the fragrance in the movie. The erotic scene attracted some viewers to the cinema.

It can be said without a doubt that the "Seven Deadly Sins" were released this week without any positive competitors. The "Yang. Dancer" obviously lacked confidence. Last week's defending champion "Yang.foo, thanks.for.everything!julie.newmar" has completed two consecutive championships before, but the winning score is only 6.5 million, which is really difficult to form an effective confrontation.

What people are concerned about now is how much box office can the "Seven Deadly Sins" achieve under such a craze? The New York Post predicted $6 million? Or the Los Angeles Times predicted $13 million?

But when the box office data came out in the fourth week of September, almost everyone was stunned: the North American theater alliance exhibition relationship (exhi tor.relations) confirmed that there was no statistical error in the data?

The exhibition relations seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago, and they posted a corresponding announcement, emphasizing that the box office data this week was repeatedly confirmed and there was no error in all the data. Now everyone was completely stunned!

Three thousand four hundred and three ninety-nine thousand dollars!

What data is this? 34 million US dollars? Is this sure that there is no mistake? The exhibition relationship is confirmed by data repeatedly? Isn’t it because the statistical system is wrong or there is any error in the calculation process?

How incredible is the box office of 34 million dollars? Just make the simplest comparison. The most popular and controversial film "Future Water World" this summer has held a grand premiere in the last week of July. In the end, the movie, which invested 175 million dollars, won the box office of 21 million dollars, successfully won the North American box office championship in the last week of July.

34 million is versus 21 million, 30 million is costing 175 million yuan, and more importantly, 34 million can easily win the championship even in the summer season! But all this occurs in the cold September, the September that no one pays attention to, and the September that everyone dislikes!

Another set of data comparisons: "Pulp novels" that were released in October last year and eventually created countless miracles. The box office scored at the premiere weekend was 16.8 million US dollars, and the final swept at 172 million US dollars in North America. The release last summer last year, and the "life and death speed" was 239 million US dollars in North American theaters, and the premiere weekend scored at 304.5 million US dollars.

So what was the premiere box office of the "Seven Deadly Sins"?

Three thousand four million dollars!

This is not only a new record for Hugo's personal premiere box office, but it surpassed the "Speed ​​Speed ​​of Life and Death" and "Seattle Night" in one fell swoop, breaking the data of Hugo's premiere box office; it also broke the new record for September's premiere box office with a shocking attitude, directly increasing the original record by more than twice, so strong that it almost created an insurmountable height.

This is true. The box office record of $34 million obtained by the "Seven Deadly Sins" was not broken by $35.6 million until seven years later in 2002.

If the breakthrough of "Schindler's List" is due to its feedback and mourning for real historical events, the breakthrough of "life and death speed" is due to its commercial popcorn movie attributes, and the breakthrough of "pulp novels" is due to its earth-shaking subversion of independent films. These movies have received explosive resounding in the box office, which is understandable, then the outbreak of the "Seven Deadly Sins" is completely something that no one expected.

Such a movie without any gimmick except for the duel between Hugo and Brad; such a movie that people questioned as a strange choice, Hugo chose the "Seven Deadly Sins" after leaving "Mission Impossible" and was even considered to be arguing for a while; such a thriller and suspense film that does not show any commercial potential has achieved the most incredible miracle in the history of the film.

But this is how history was born! The 34 million dollar premiere box office was so shocked that people could hardly control their body trembling, and it was born.
Chapter completed!
