In the third week of August, the "Sixth Sense of Spirituality" once again added 300 theaters. As a result, the expansion of the film reached 2,800. With strong support, the film turned over 100%. Seventh, the fall against the sky, shocked the entire North American continent!

A 4% increase in the next week and a 7% decrease in the third week. This performance, even the "Titanic" was not so crazy when it made 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 strongly pursues this work.

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

The 7% drop allowed the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural" to win another $35 million at the box office of the third week of the weekend. This result easily became the fourth film in film history with a box office of more than $30 million in three consecutive weeks. In one fell swoop, it surpassed "Trumen's World" and "Star Wars Episode 1: Phantom Threat" and became the third largest box office in the third week of movie history, just behind the "Titanic" and "Independence" that currently shake movie history. day".

"The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" unexpectedly surpassed "Trumen's World" at the box office of the third week of the weekend?

This result is even stronger than the film's two consecutive weeks of falling against the sky, causing the entire North American film market to set off stormy waves. People can understand that "L.A. Confidential" and "Trumen's World" make history. After all, there are still traces to follow. However, as a horror movie, "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" completely changed the box office of this type of movie. The development curve has exploded with shocking energy-the power that can change the pattern of the film industry. This is indeed too absurd, and it almost makes people think that this is an April Fool's Day joke deliberately made by the exhibition relationship.

But the fact is like this. The third week of "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" has a box office of 35 million dollars, and it has achieved three consecutive championships without any suspense. This is also this summer file after "Star Wars Episode 1: The Threat of Ghosts". The second three consecutive championships is really a huge irony, isn't it? Everyone was infuriated because of Hugo’s choice, but in a blink of an eye, the two movies were released, but they turned out a similar box office development curve——

And considering the huge differences in investment between the two films, the genres of the two films, and the fan base of the two films, the irony effect becomes more apparent.

After achieving three consecutive box office championships on weekends, the performance of "Supernatural Sixth Sense" on normal working days is still wonderful. After three weeks of accumulating box office easily crossing the 100 million threshold, it is strong to 143 million US dollars. After crossing the 200 million threshold, there is no suspense. People are now more curious about whether this film has the ability to create film history records like "Independence Day" and "Trumen's World"-becoming film history. The first horror movie with a box office of over 300 million?

After three consecutive weeks of box office miracles, there were no doubts. Those clear and bright slaps left clear palm prints on the cheeks of every media outlet. Even the "Los Angeles Times" didn't have enough confidence in Hugo at the beginning, and now they also ridicule themselves saying, "Never underestimate Hugo Lancaster, otherwise the consequences can only 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 is the "Spiritual Sixth Sense" capable of creating such miracles, even more ferocious than works such as "Trumen's World" and "L.A. Confidential"? People still didn't quite understand it, and it was not until many years later, when the whole historical context gradually became clear, that people came to a vague conclusion.

Starting from the "seven deadly sins", to "walking on death row", to "L.A. Confidential", and then to "Trumen's World", we can actually see a historical development track. First, the social status of the uncrowned king continues to weaken. The social turmoil caused by Rodney King, Hugo Lancaster, and Michael Jackson’s news events has pushed it to theoretical heights; first, since the economic crisis in the late 1980s and early 1990s, there have been social contradictions and abuses. Gradually broke out, from kind. Family. Discrimination to sex. do not. Discrimination, including social crises such as Irene Enos, is increasing, and people's sense of social security is plummeting, and it has become a hot topic in the society.

These works have more or less aroused social discussion in the years when they were released. In particular, relying on Hugo’s strong influence, they played a significant role in the development of the entire society, and even attracted the attention of the White House. President Clinton had to come out many times to respond to related issues. This kind of social influence has gone beyond the scope of ordinary movies.

With the approach of the millennium, this kind of development began to turmoil, especially the millennium bug’s doomsday rumors became more and more fierce, and people’s social uneasiness reached a peak, but they could not find a way out, that kind of annoyance. And depressed, dashing left and right, trying to find an exit. The "Sixth Sense of Spirituality" appeared under this background.

The film’s descriptions of family, love and friendship, the film’s emphasis on trust, and the film’s interpretation of the edge of life and death have aroused social resonance, especially when Malcolm discovered that he was the finale of a ghost, which had an impact on the entire society. It is undoubtedly huge, making people truly realize for the first time: between yin and yang, what is blocking is not only life and death, but also the inner barrier.

The "overly sensational" that has been criticized by countless film critics. Under such a social background, it really awakens the emotional response in people's hearts, so it completely detonates people's movie-watching enthusiasm, which creates the miracle of the movie box office. . It is even a box office victory that surpasses "L.A. Confidential" and "Trumen's World"!

"The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" is a work that appears at the right time and place in the right way and in the right posture, just like the "Forrest Gump" in 1994. This makes this work a film history. classic. And m-Night-Samalan became famous in one fell swoop, directly becoming the hottest new-generation director in Hollywood.

When Hugo heard from Rick that more than six scripts had been handed over to Knight during the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural" propaganda period, he couldn't help being a little surprised, and then laughed blankly. This time, he witnessed the birth of the "Hollywood Killer" with his own eyes. This is really a situation that people don't know how to react.

After achieving three consecutive championships, the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural" did not stop. In the fourth week of August, the "Ultimate Raiders (the. 13th. was once again brutally defeated by Waterloo, with an investment of more than 160 million. The ten-thousand-dollar work was released by Disney. The external media are optimistic that Disney's own works will end the dominance of the "superior sixth sense" by themselves, but the result has made everyone speechless in shock.

"Ultimate Boom" only handed over 10 million US dollars in the box office of the premiere weekend amidst the scolding, and even Michael Eisner suffered a huge infamy. The changes in Disney's internal situation are immeasurable. The fiasco of this work, coupled with the great success of the "Supernatural Sixth Sense", formed a sharp contrast. Soon after the summer break, Robert Iger was formally promoted to become Disney’s chief operating officer. Behind Michael, occupy the top transaction of Michael's deputy.

In the face of the weak and weak attacks of competitors, the box office decline of the fourth week of "Spiritual Sixth Sense" finally began to become more and more normal, but the 15% decline is still outstandingly speechless, 2950 With a weekend box office of 100,000 U.S. dollars, the work became the only work in the summer of 1999 to complete four consecutive championships.

In the relatively empty and deserted August, the "Sixth Sense of Spirituality" completely ignited the last bit of enthusiasm in the summer vacation, and completely pushed the last summer vacation before the millennium to *, making people deeply feel that At the turn of the century, there is still no definite conclusion about the changes in the film market. The only thing that can be affirmed is that excellent works can be recognized by the market after all.

The ending in August and the approaching of September also marked the official end of the summer vacation. After entering September, the entire market was deserted almost overnight. The "Sixth Sense of Spirituality" could not find any competitors at all. A brand-new work "The Horror Factor (. was released again, and the box office on the weekend did not even exceed 5 million, which also made the audience flow further toward the "sixth sense of supernatural".

Outstanding performance makes "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" the most appealing work in the entire market. In the first week of September, the box office once again ushered in a counterattack on the weekend of the first week of September, with a 14% increase. , For the second time since its release in five weeks, it has given up its upward momentum, truly copying the “Titanic” curve against the sky.

With a weekend box office of 34 million U.S. dollars, the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" did not encounter any challenges and easily completed five consecutive championships! This is also the first five consecutive championships since 1999!

To be precise, the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural" has not encountered any challenges in the first five weeks since it was released. It can almost be said that it has taken the lead from the first week, leading the box office battle with an absolute advantage, and the media has hyped The fierce competition, under the strong performance of the film, is completely vulnerable.

Dominating the North American box office market for five consecutive weeks has made the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural" qualified to challenge the annual title of "Star Wars Episode 1: Phantom Threat"-of course, this is not easy, at this time the latter's cumulative box office has already It reached 420 million U.S. dollars, and the short-term goal of "Spiritual Sixth Sense" should be an impact of 300 million U.S. dollars. But it is undeniable that before this movie is released, absolutely no one can predict that there will be such a day in a horror movie!

The outstanding performance of the five consecutive championships has brought the cumulative box office of "Spiritual Sixth Sense" to 236 million U.S. dollars, and the 300 million moat is already beckoning not far away!
