As the most frustrating autumn file of the year, there are actually not many films released. Although the major film companies know that it is almost an impossible task to win the box office in this schedule, it is also impossible to give up this schedule - at any point in time, there will be audiences walking into the cinema, no matter how much, these are box office and interests.

Therefore, there is still competition in the autumn file, but under normal circumstances, there will be two situations, either there are many abandoned children, and a bunch of movies abandoned by film companies are piled up here, leaving the audience to see which one can rise, or how much cost can be recovered; Either it is small and of quality, but it is still not enough to compete with other works, so it is placed in this period of weak competitiveness, hoping to achieve unexpected results.

The second week of October is the latter.

"Although it has been acclaimed in Cannes, objectively speaking, it is still unknown whether this work, which only invested 8 million US dollars, has a unique style and outstanding personality, and can win the recognition of the majority of the market." Vulgar "is considered to be in the 90s", in fact, it also means that this work is high and low, and it is hotly sought after by film critics, but it does not necessarily drive the box office.

In such a situation, it is definitely not practical to compete in the summer or Christmas schedules, and you may become cannon fodder. The choice of October to be released in this deserted season is with the second idea: I hope that "vulgar" can rely on the appeal of the Cannes Palme d'Or and Hugo to win by surprise.

At least, the cost of eight million dollars is still very promising to recover.

However, the Weinstein brothers were obviously not confident in the autumn season, and in the absence of publicity expenses, they only arranged for 1,400 theaters to be released, which can be said to have just reached the standard of large-scale screening.

Three other films had their national premieres during the same week, making the second week of October quite lively. On the one hand, these films are not afraid of the momentum of "" - or rather, so to speak; On the one hand, it can also be seen that the major film companies obviously don't care much about the deserted autumn files, unlike the summer files, where every week's adjustment affects the whole body, and the schedule here is quite arbitrary.

Of these three works, the "little. Giants" is undoubtedly the most championship-looking, and this one catches up with the post-"" trend, combining children and rugby, hoping to fight a bloody way. Warner Bros. has arranged for the release of 2,000 theaters, which can be described as full of confidence.

A classic horror film series, "(new. Nightmare" was also released this week, and thanks to the strong appeal of the previous series, which gave the distributor a lot of confidence, they arranged for 1,800 theaters.

In addition, the TV movie "Exit to Happy Island" released by HBO Productions Zuò. to。 Eden)" will be released in 1,600 theaters, and it seems that it wants to try it in the fall, and even if it fails, it won't hurt.

Compared with the other three premiere works, "" is at the bottom of both the theater release and the investment cost. Therefore, although the film won the Cannes Palme d'Or, many media still gave a very conservative box office estimate of $5 million for the weekend and three days in advance box office forecasts.

Most of the media believe that the "bomb expert (the. "It's very likely that this $45 million production will be an absolute predator in the fall season, and it will be co-starred, which also gives people reason to expect more."

"The Bomb Expert" grossed 14 million last week, a new record for a October premiere in North American film history — and it's worth mentioning that $14 million is enough to become the current October North American box office record, which shows that the fall season is deserted. So, the odds of a "bomb expert" this week are generally considered to be more than 80 percent.

But the problem is that after "" landed in North America on October 14, the midnight show exploded at the box office of $1.17 million, which is not only the highest box office record for a midnight show in North American film history; And for the first time, people officially realized that the midnight show is not the occasion to pass the time, although the idea is still just a seed, but when the time comes, the seed will begin to sprout and grow; At the same time, this also means that the "five million dollars" box office predicted by the media far underestimates the energy of "vulgarity", which is just a midnight show, not a first-day box office!

The battle for the box office on the weekend of the second week of October has just begun, and "" has made history with a terrifying situation, and the next box office trend has made everyone want to stab their eyes: even so, they can't believe the facts in front of them.

"On Friday, it directly grabbed the box office of 5 million US dollars, which was the first to set a new record for the October box office in North America; Then on Saturday, the box office showed a slight upward curve, and won $6.5 million; By Sunday, although it had declined somewhat, it still maintained its level of $5.3 million.

This also made "" snatch $16.8 million at the box office in one go in three days of its opening weekend, easily refreshing the record that "Bomb Expert" just set last week!

With a single box office of 12,000 US dollars and only 1,400 theaters, "" handed over a perfect answer, breaking the box office record in North American film history in October, and winning the North American weekend box office chart in the second week of October as the undisputed king!

This is Hugo's fifth consecutive work to win the North American box office weekly championship since "", so coherent, so consistent, so appealing, there is no doubt that he is the first person in the North American market today!

What's more, the weekend box office of $16.8 million is only $8 million compared to the cost of only $8 million, "It only took three days to recover the book cost, and even after the theater chain and the crew shared, the profit was certain." It's definitely the best investment ever.

Although before that, Hugo had created such a miracle, ""21 million investment, in exchange for 189 million dollars at the North American box office; "$22 million in investment in exchange for $200.5 million at the North American box office;" "$28 million in investment in exchange for $239 million at the North American box office.

But ""As a special film, it can be said that there is no explosion point, no commercial attraction point, no interest point, and 5 million of the 8 million investment is paid to the actors, and only 3 million is the real cost, but it has achieved such a brilliant achievement in the first week of release.

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

Not to mention, this is the autumn file, a cold and miserable October, but "" still bursts out with such amazing energy. The $16.8 million weekend box office is enough to compete for the championship in any other schedule except for the summer season, and the fact that "vulgar" achieved such a number in October, which is widely regarded as chicken ribs by major companies, really refreshes everyone's deep-rooted notion of autumn stalls.

After the box office burst out with amazing energy at the premiere, a group of competitors retreated, and the box office of "Bomb Expert" plummeted by 45 percent, and the box office was only $7.7 million the next week, and the cumulative box office in two weeks was $26 million, which is not good news for the "Bomb Expert" with an investment of 45 million.

And the other three films are even more tragic, "Relying on the appeal of the previous work, the table is the best, and it got a premiere box office of 6.6 million; "The premiere of 2,000 theaters pitifully got $4.7 million at the box office;" "Brave Happy Island" is the saddest, and the box office of the 3 million opening weekend has already announced the complete death of this work in advance.

This week, "Forrest Gump", "The Lion King", which are still on the list, although the table xiàn is no longer amazing, it is still endless. However, there is a very special figure this week, that is, "The Shawshank Redemption", which has been expanded in 950 theaters.

The film was screened in the first week and then gradually expanded, and this week is its fourth week of release, but unfortunately, the box office table is not satisfactory, and the media reviews are always mediocre. After the expansion of the theater in the fourth week of the release of 950 rooms, the box office of a single theater was only 2,500 US dollars, and the box office of 2.4 million in three days over the weekend, with a cumulative box office of 7.1 million, compared to its investment of 25 million US dollars, even it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a "fiasco".

The reason why this work is mentioned is because many people in the circle feel very novel, and it is not a secret that Hugo was infinitely close to "The Shawshank Redemption". It can be seen from Hugo's film selection in the past two years that Hugo's vision is very unique, and the works he chooses always have their shining points, the simplest is the two recent scripts of "" and "", which almost made the whole Hollywood unexpected.

So, since Hugo chose "The Shawshank Redemption" in the first place, it shows that this movie has merit. But now...... Insiders are puzzled, where are the highlights? Could it be that "The Shawshank Redemption" is the only time Hugo has seen his work, and Hugo just missed it, should this be said that Hugo is lucky, or is it God's affection?

However, these topics are always just embellishments, and "winning this week's championship with the best premiere in North American film history in October is the biggest attraction!" Offer.
