18.45 million, such a first-day result surprised everyone. Although company managers who watched the film before the release of the film have guessed that "Saw" will set a new benchmark for horror films and make horror film enthusiasts shine.

There are no strong competitors, and the schedule is not yet reached the summer vacation, but it still earned a box office of 18.45 million in a single day.

The second place is the film "Mean Girl" starring Lindsay Lohan. In the film, Lindsay Lohan plays a high school girl who is addicted to the intrigues among girls, love and group formation. This film focusing on the women's market won 8.58 million yuan in box office yesterday. Paramount himself is already very satisfied with this result.

Another thriller and horror film released by Lionsgate Films at the same time only received 2.3 million on the first day, which was extremely obvious from "Saw", and this result ranked fifth yesterday.

The "Law of Temptation" launched by Xinyi only achieved 2.24 million on the first day, while the "Ultimate Target" launched by DreamWorks won 2.13 million, ranking seventh on yesterday's box office list. The five new films released were not big productions, and the production cost was less than 50 million. Although companies were depressed to get such a box office in this period, they were generally mentally prepared.

Of course, the film cannot be compared with the film. "Saw" is so eye-catching that it stole the limelight from all the films.

The effects on the Internet continue to ferment. The murderous knives in the theater are refreshing and curious. On the basis of curiosity, those who try murder props have become the best jokes, but on the basis of jokes, their inner desire for the film is becoming stronger and stronger.

However, compared with the almost one-sided desire for films by movie fans, professional critics have mixed reviews, and to be more precise, most of them are belittled. On the metacritic website, the comprehensive score of "Saw" is only 52 points, which seems like a tragedy.

Heidi, a reporter from "Moviemaker", gave a 90-point review. He wrote in the "Moviemaker" newspaper: "This may be the best independent horror movie. "Blair the Witch" created a box office miracle. "Buried Alive" should not be included in the category of horror movies, so I think the chainsaw is the best horror movie, which is undoubtedly more interesting and terrifying than the Blair Witch. Last night's movie tour made me crazy. James Win proved him, maybe I should congratulate Justin Chen on finding a good helper."

Roger Albert of the Chicago Sun Tribune also watched "Saw" yesterday. He is also one of the few professional critics who gave high scores to chainsaws. He gave high scores of 87. In his column today, Roger Albert commented: "I'm tired of American horror movies, because it's always bloody or bloody, and chainsaws have not gotten rid of this framework. But I don't hate it.

Because it expresses bloodiness while making us feel novel, of course there are deep thoughts behind it - most people don’t know how grateful they are when they are alive.

This is not a simple horror movie, James Winn is a good one!”

"This is a horror movie that requires you to watch with your head. It's not just bloody, and the undeniable premise and clever plan have raised the film to a higher level." This is a film from "The Hollywood Reporter", which scored 75 points on the website.

This film is written and directed by Wan Ziren. Chen Tian is only a screenwriter, but this does not prevent some media from putting some credit on Chen Tian. Sean Alex of the Los Angeles Times said in his column: "Justin Chen, as a producer, is still creating miracles. He and James Wen have created this horror film to almost perfection. This is a rare and excellent horror film."

However, in addition to these good reviews, most media gave scores below 60 points, and JR. Jones of the Chicago Reader gave a dazzling 0 points.

"This is an unimaginable film. The novel methods that seem to be just to exaggerate horror and blood. There is no difference in nature, and I am trying to whitewash the crime. I can't understand what such a mentality is.

Shouldn't the hard saw in the film be subject to legal sanctions? James Win provides criminals with a template for whitewashing. It's a silly decision to sit in the theater for a hundred minutes."

The New York Post's film column also gave its own videos. The New York Post and Chen Tian's three videos have a bet plan of over 100 million yuan, and "This Man from Earth" has almost exceeded 100 million yuan.

Although "The Little Sunshine Beauty" has not exceeded 100 million, it is less than 50,000 US dollars away from the 100 million yuan mark. There is also a screening for "The Little Sunshine Beauty" in the theater. Although there are few screenings, there is basically no big problem with over 100 million this week.

Now the only three films are left, "Saw", which is the only film among the three films that is not directed by Chen Tian. This film is also the last hope of the New York Post.

"A horror video showing off high IQ crimes, in fact, everything is based on one premise. Without this premise, you will find that your IQ is being played with.

This is another low-cost film, but not a good one, but Justin Chen has been typing money again.”

The New York Post's evaluation has been recognized by some viewers, and although Rotten Tomatoes' freshness is not high, only 62% and the IDC score is only 77 points, online movie fans have received rave reviews of "Saw", but this praise is also based on enthusiasts.

Many movie fans can't stand the horror of "Saw", and they form two extremes with their favorite movies.

The popularity of "Saw" continues. On the first day of May, "Saw" won a box office of 19.03 million, and accumulated a box office of 37 million in two days. This is already a big seller for "Saw", which costs less than $2 million.

Sunday was also the last day of the first week of "Saw", "Saw" won 12.36 million yuan, and the single-day box office exceeded 10 million yuan for the third consecutive day, and successfully won the three-day box office championship.

It won 49.84 million yuan in three days of its first week of release, and the momentum of "Saw" is terrifying.

However, everyone knows that "Van Helsing" will have a sharp decline in the box office of "Saw" next Friday, but for Lionsgate and new Miramax, "Saw" has made a big profit for both sides.

Miramax was destined to receive a share of 12 million in the first three days of the first week. "Saw" undoubtedly made a good start for the new Miramax, and Wan Ziren also gained a lot of fame with this film.
