Chapter 1897: 1897
People guessed the ending, but did not guess the process: "Los Angeles Secret" defeated the "peacemaker", which was not an unexpected result; but "Los Angeles Secret" killed the "peacemaker" in an instant without Hugo even taking it himself. George had already surrendered without fighting? This process is really ridiculous.
In the first week of October, "Los Angeles Secret" ushered in the challenge of "kiss.the.girls", or to be more precise, the showdown between Hugo and Morgan Freeman.
This is really an interesting thing. First, David Finch's "psychological game", then Hugo's "Los Angeles Secret", and then Morgan's "Shocking Lip Tribulation". Now only Brad Pitt is missing. The four-person group of "Seven Deadly Sins" that created countless historical records two years ago will meet again.
However, compared to Hugo and Brad, Hugo and Morgan not only have no gunpowder flavor, but also the two sides are quite happy. In many public occasions, Morgan has expressed his appreciation and appreciation for Hugo many times.
For the media, this is more like an interesting thing. The "Psychological Game" and "Los Angeles City Secret" showdown, and the latter won; then what about the showdown between "Los Angeles City Secret" and "Shocking Lip Tribulation"? What will be the result? After all, this is the third week of "Los Angeles City Secret" release.
"Shocking Lips" and "Seven Deadly Sins" are films of the same type, and this is also a sequelae left behind two years ago: many thriller and suspense movies are crowded to September and October's autumn is coming, hoping to replicate the miracle of "Seven Deadly Sins". However, "Shocking Lips" invested only 27 million yuan, and the highlights in the cast are also very limited in addition to Morgan. Despite this, Paramount Pictures has arranged 2,300 theaters for "Shocking Lips", looking forward to the outstanding performance of the movie.
Faced with such a situation, the excellent performance of "Los Angeles City Secret" in the previous two weeks gave Warner Bros. After discussion, they further expanded the film. This strategy was really beyond the expectations of many people. The increase in 200 theaters allowed more viewers to enter the cinema. Judging from the attendance of the cinema this weekend, the box office decline of "Los Angeles City Secret" will bring surprises again.
This is true. With the addition of the museum screening, "Los Angeles Secret" delivered an incredible drop of 8% for the second consecutive week, achieving a weekend box office of 27.6 million US dollars!
This not only made "Loss City Secret" the first work that had a box office of more than 20 million for three consecutive weeks since 1997, and achieved results that "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" and "Man in Black" which currently ranked second in the annual box office, but also made "Loss City Secret" surpass the same box office results of the "Seven Deadly Sins" again. In the third week of film history, it continued to rank fourth in the box office rankings, and the top three were "Independence Day", "Tornado" and "Jurassic Park".
Who would have thought that "Los Angeles Secret" actually burst out with such a strong box office driving force. Such a suspense film that wins by relying on the plot has reached a height that many commercial films cannot reach. This reminds people of the comment from the "Los Angeles Times" again, "the perfect combination of commercial films and artistic films."
The film critics' tricky appetite satisfaction and even compared it with the "Godfather", which has proved that this is a work that has been successful in art; and the outstanding performance of the box office for three consecutive weeks has surpassed the "Seven Deadly Sins" two years ago, which also proves that this work will surely create more outstanding results in box office.
But even so, the weekend box office figure of $27.6 million is still jaw-dropping, which almost exceeds the peak range that a drama movie can reach. It is comparable to a number of commercial blockbusters. The American praise has reached an unprecedented peak at this moment.
Perhaps, after time precipitation, "Los Angeles Secret" still cannot compete with "Godfather", but it can definitely be among the classic masterpieces of drama movies.
Relying on the three-week continuous box office offensive, "Los Angeles Secret" cumulative box office broke through the 100 million threshold and reached 110 million US dollars. During the same period, the accumulated box office not only easily surpassed the "Silence of the Lambs", but also surpassed the "Seven Deadly Sins" for a full seven million US dollars. Although "Los Angeles Secret" was slightly inferior in the box office competition on the premiere weekend, relying on its strong reputation and more audience-friendly atmosphere, "Los Angeles Secret" made full efforts and achieved a comprehensive overturn on the same period of the "Seven Deadly Sins".
Now, the biggest question is, in the absence of topic effects, can the subsequent box office endurance of "Los Angeles Secrets" compete with the "Seven Deadly Sins"? At the beginning, the "Seven Deadly Sins" had a fierce momentum, but failed at the last moment. It was only a difference of five million, but it could not exceed the 200 million threshold. So, what about "Los Angeles Secrets" this time? Can the box office record of the thrilling suspense movie maintained by the "Seven Deadly Sins"? Can it achieve a zero breakthrough in the box office of 200 million thrilling suspense movies?
Just as the Los Angeles Times talks about it: Hugo's records will be broken by himself.
In the face of the domineering box office sweeping momentum of "Los Angeles City Secret", the performance of "Shocking Lips" is outstanding. The box office of the premiere weekend of 13 million US dollars will be easily won. Even with "Located Lips City Secret", this result will become more and more precious under the destruction of powerful opponents, not to mention that the cost of the movie is only 27 million US dollars, which is undoubtedly worth celebrating for "Shocking Lips".
"Shocking Lip Tribulation" undoubtedly occupies the runner-up position in the North American weekend box office rankings in the first week of October.
After that, "spiritual food" continued its reputation and ranked third; the momentum of "The Bride's Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the Between the
For Paramount Pictures, the strategy of this fall is obviously the right one. Two small-cost and high-reward works have been achieved by "shocking lips" and "the groom's mistaken bend", which are enough to make Shirley Lansing's eyebrows stretch.
There were almost no strong new works released in the second week of October, with only one documentary and an independent low-cost comedy movie. Therefore, there was no surprise in the entire weekend box office list. "Los Angeles Secret" easily dominated the rankings and became the fourth work to achieve three consecutive weekend box office titles since 1997.
The only question is, how exactly does "Los Angeles Secret" perform this week? What kind of attitude did it win three consecutive championships?
Maintaining the level of 2,700 theaters, "Los Angeles Secret" won a box office of 22 million US dollars in three days on the weekend, with a drop of only 18%, continuing its absolute strong attitude and once again won the championship of this week's weekend box office rankings. This result also made "Los Angeles Secret" surpass the same period of "Tornado" and "Jurassic Park". The second place champion in the weekend box office of the fourth week of film history is the "Independence Day" of the Miracle of Film History.
Step by step, "Luocheng Secret" is comprehensively breaking the record set by the "Seven Deadly Sins" in the autumn period, and setting a high standard that latecomers are almost insurmountable.
The weekend box office of 22 million US dollars is an unsolvable problem in October. After "Los Angeles Secret" undoubtedly won three consecutive championships, it was "shocked", "spiritual food", "groom's mistaken bend", and "peacemakers" were still ranked second to fifth.
On the list, the second week of "Shocking Lips" fell by only 15%. This result was absolutely outstanding for thriller and suspense films, which made Paramount Pictures overjoyed. The accumulated 28 million US dollars in two weeks had steadily crossed the cost line; in addition, "spiritual food" and "The Groom's Bend" once again delivered a box office decline of less than 30%, and its outstanding performance also became a topic of discussion.
The poor "peacemaker" fell by more than 40% this week again, not only a loss, but also a failure. The accumulated box office in three weeks has not even reached 50% of the cost of 25 million. This tragedy is gradually turning into a tragedy, and even Universal Pictures itself can't bear to look at it.
The "peacemaker" is not only the only one who fell behind, but also the only one who was disappointed. Even the media can't bear to continue to add to the point of falling into trouble.
Many media expressed regret for George Clooney's experience. It seems that George's film career has ended, which is very sad. In particular, the ratings of the new season of "The Story of the Emergency Room" are still gratifying, and George's popularity is still outstanding, which further contrasts the collapse of George's film career. Such sympathy makes George become more and more embarrassed, and also makes George laugh and cry.
It is worth mentioning that "Bully Night" was previewed in two theaters this week, with a single-stage box office of 25,000 US dollars. It performed well, but it was less than the outstanding level.
The subsequent performance of "Los Angeles City Secret" is refreshing people's perception again and again, and continues to make rapid progress, once again confirming that excellent movies will never lack the truth that audiences appreciate; and in an unstoppable manner, the gap between the box office data of the "Seven Deadly Sins" in the same period has been widened. At the same time, the accumulated box office of the three weeks has been 143 million US dollars. Unconsciously, the box office of the movie can easily cross the threshold of 150 million next week. It seems that all signs are indicating a fact: "Los Angeles City Secret" will hit the "Seven Deadly Sins" that have not been done.
