Chapter 2135 2135 Three hundred million terror

In the third week of August, the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" once again increased the screenings of 300 theaters, so the expansion of the film reached 2,800. With strong support, the film delivered a 7% decline against the sky, shocking the entire North American 6!

The second week saw a rise of 4% and a fall of 7% in the third week. This performance was not so crazy even when the "Titanic" created history. This is a phenomenon that violates the normal development curve for the box office market, but it shows from the side that the audience is strongly sought after this work.

However, this time it is not the thrilling, beautiful and romantic love story of the "Titanic", but the "supernatural sixth sense".

A seven-percent drop made the weekend box office of the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" again win 35 million US dollars in the third week of the film history. Such a result easily became the fourth work of film history with a box office of over 30 million US dollars in three consecutive weeks, and passed the "Trumen's World" and "Star Wars Prequel 1: The Threat of the Ghost", becoming the third place in the weekend box office of the third week of film history, only behind the "Titanic" and "** Day" that currently shakes the history of the film history.

The box office of the third week of the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" actually passed the "Trumen's World"?

This result is even stronger than the movie's decline for two consecutive weeks, causing storms in the entire North American film market. People can understand "Los Angeles Secret" and "Trueman's World" creates history, after all, there are still traces to follow. However, "Supernatural Sixth Sense" as a horror movie completely changed the box office exhibition curve of this type of movie, and revealed the power of shocking energy that can change the film industry structure. This is indeed too absurd and unruly, and almost makes people think that this is an April Fool's Day joke deliberately made by the exhibition relationship.

But that's the case. The "Supernatural Sixth Sense" box office of 35 million US dollars in the third week, easily achieving three consecutive championships without any suspense. This is also the second three consecutive championships this summer after "Star Wars Prequel 1: The Ghost Threat". It's really a huge irony, right? Everyone was very angry at Hugo's choice, but in the blink of an eye, both movies were released, but they gave a similar box office exhibition curve.

Considering the huge difference in investments between the two movies, the theme types of the two movies, and the fan base of the two movies, the more obvious the satirical effect.

After achieving three consecutive weekend box office championships, the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" still performed brilliantly during workdays. After the cumulative box office in three weeks, it easily exceeded the 100 million threshold, and it was a strong result of 143 million US dollars. It is no surprise that it has passed the 200 million threshold. Now people are even more curious about whether this movie has the ability to create a record in film history like "**day" and "Trumen's World" to become the first horror movie in the history of films to have a box office of over 300 million yuan?

After three consecutive weeks of box office miracle, there was no doubt anymore. The clear and bright slaps left clear palm prints on the cheeks of every media. Even the Los Angeles Times did not have enough confidence in Hugo, but now they said jokingly, "Never underestimate Hugo Lancaster, otherwise the consequences will be borne by you."

On the contrary, the great success of the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" has become a hot topic in society, and people have begun to discuss a serious issue:

Why can the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" create such a miracle, even more fierce than works like "Trumen's World" and "Los Angeles City Secret"? People never quite understand, and it was not until many years later that the entire historical context gradually became clear that people came to a vague conclusion.

From the "Seven Deadly Sins", to "Death-infernal Walk", to "Los Angeles Secret", and then to "Trumen's World", we can actually see a historical development trajectory. First, the social status of the uncrowned king has been constantly weakened, pushing the social riots caused by the news events of Rodney King, Hugo Lancaster, and Michael Jackson to a theoretical level; first, since the economic crisis in the late 1980s and early 1990s, social contradictions and disadvantages have gradually been exposed, from race, racial discrimination to gender, discrimination, and social crises such as Erin Ainos, people's sense of social security is declining, becoming a hot topic in society.

These works have more or less attracted social discussion in the year they were released, especially relying on Hugo's powerful influence, which played an unnegligible role in the development of the entire society, and even attracted the attention of the White House, causing Clinton, the then president, to come out many times to respond to related issues. This social influence has already emerged from the scope of ordinary movies.

This development context began to stir up as the millennium approached, especially the rumors of the end of the world of the millennium worm became more and more intense, and people's social uneasiness reached a peak, but they could never find a way out. The boredom and depression rushed left and right to try to find an outlet. The "supernatural sixth sense" appeared under such a background.

The movie's description of family, love and friendship, the movie's emphasis on trust, and the movie's interpretation of the edge of life and death all resonated with society. In particular, Malcolm realized that he was the finale of ghosts, and the impact on the entire society was undoubtedly huge, making people truly realize for the first time that between yin and yang, what is blocked is not only life and death, but also the inner barrier.

The "too sensational" criticized by countless film critics has truly awakened the emotional response deep in people's hearts under such a social background, which completely ignited people's movie viewing craze, which created a miracle of movie box office. Even the more "Los Angeles City secret", the more "Trumen's world" the box office victory!

"The Sixth Sense of Supernaturalness" is a work that appears at the right time and in the right position in the right way, right position, just like the "Forrest Gump" in 1994, which made this work a classic in film history. And M-Knight Shamalan became famous in one fell swoop and became the hottest new generation director in Hollywood.

When Hugo heard from Rick that six scripts had been handed to Knight during the promotional period of the "Supernatural Sixth Sense", he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and then burst into laughter. This time, he witnessed the birth of the "Hollywood Killer" with his own eyes, which was really a situation that people don't know how to react.

After achieving three consecutive championships, the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" did not stop. In the fourth week of August, the "Ultimate Strange Sword" suffered another tragic defeat. This work, which had invested more than 160 million US dollars, was held by Disney. The outside media are optimistic that Disney's own works will end the dominance of the "Supernatural Sixth Sense", but the result made everyone frightened and speechless.

The "Ultimate Shock" only handed over $10 million in the weekend box office amidst the criticism, which even made Michael Esner bear a huge infamous reputation. The internal changes in Disney are incalculable. The disastrous defeat of this work, coupled with the huge success of the "Supernatural Sixth Sense", forms a sharp contrast. Shortly after the end of the summer season, Robert Eiger was officially promoted and became Disney's COO, with only Michael's position, occupying the top deal for Michael's deputy.

Faced with the weak and powerless attacks of competitors, the box office decline in the fourth week of the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" finally began to become more normal, but the 15% drop was still outstanding, making people speechless. The weekend box office of $29.5 million made the work the only work in the summer season in 1999 to complete four consecutive championships.

In the relatively empty and deserted August, the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" completely ignited the last bit of enthusiasm for the summer season, completely pushing the last summer season before the millennium to the top, allowing people to deeply feel that at the turn of the century, there is still no certain conclusion on the changes in the film market. The only thing that can be confirmed is that excellent works can eventually be recognized by the market.

August ended and September came, which also marked the official end of the summer season. After September entered, the entire market almost disappeared overnight. The "Supernatural Sixth Sense" could not find any competitors. Only one newly released work, "Chi11.factor", released a dud again, and the box office on the weekend did not even exceed five million, which also made the audience further move towards the "Supernatural Sixth Sense".

The unique performance made the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" the most appealing work in the entire market. The box office in the first week of September ushered in a counterattack again on the weekend, with a 14% increase. It made its rise for the second time since its release for five weeks, truly copying the "Titanic" anti-natural curve.

The weekend box office of 34 million US dollars has allowed the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" to encounter any challenges and easily complete five consecutive championships! This is also the five consecutive championships since 1999!

To be precise, the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" has not encountered any kind of challenges since its release for five weeks. It can almost be said that it has been ahead of the box office competition with absolute advantage. The fierce competition hyped by the media is completely vulnerable under the strong performance of the movie.

Dominate the North American box office market for five consecutive weeks, which makes the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" qualified to challenge the annual champion of "Star Wars Prequel 1: The Ghost Threat" of course, this is not easy. At this time, the latter's cumulative box office has reached 420 million US dollars, and the short-term goal of "Supernatural Sixth Sense" should be to hit 300 million US dollars. But it is undeniable that before the release of this movie, no one could have expected: a horror movie would have such a day!

The outstanding performance of the five consecutive championships has brought the accumulated box office of the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" to 236 million US dollars, and the 300 million heavenly shackles have already waved not far away!
