Until the end of the credits, the lights came on, and there were still sounds of surprise and stunned discussions in the auditorium.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such an ending.

However, everything seems to be so taken for granted, and in retrospect, too many hints have been given in the release of the film.

but.

Anyway, what a surprise!

Lisa Collins felt the chatter around her, and with a smile on her lips, she and her boyfriend got up and left the theater.

Because of some involvement with a certain guy, she couldn't help but feel a faint sense of pride at this time, and at the same time decided to take time to watch it again, many details in this movie are still very memorable.

At the 9 o'clock session, the viewing is over, and it is already 11 o'clock in the middle of the night on the East Coast.

However, passing by the ticket hall when she left, Lisa noticed that some of the spectators who had just left were walking towards the ticket window again.

In the current time period, those people are obviously not in a hurry to watch another film. They may be eager to relive many of the foreshadowing details in the film just now.

Most of the plot reversal films lack sufficient foreshadowing, and the plot turns will be somewhat abrupt. However, there is no such problem in "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality". There are too many details in the film that clearly imply the final ending. However, it is difficult for those who do not know the ending to understand those details. After knowing the ending, everything becomes clear. .

The most important thing is that all the foreshadowing and all the foreshadowing are completely integrated with the story of the film, not deliberate and inseparable.

So, this is genius.

Lisa couldn't help but think that some media have been criticizing this movie recently, and now, Daenerys Entertainment has undoubtedly produced another classic. As for the box office, considering those viewers who wanted to revisit the film immediately after midnight, this obviously wouldn't be a problem.

It's still 8 p.m. on the west coast.

It's not too late.

So I decided to go back and call Jenny to congratulate her. It would be better if I could meet him and be with her, maybe say a few words.

When Lisa Collins ended her movie viewing, countless professional and amateur film critics in various states and counties in North America also basically completed their own film reviews of "The Sixth Sense".

Compared with other movies, "The Sixth Sense" undoubtedly has a natural advantage in this regard. Because this week is the only new film to be drawn, and it is also the creator of the high-profile Simon Westero and Robert De Niro, most newspapers and media cannot ignore Westero and De Niro. There is no other option.

If everyone is swarming to discuss "The Sixth Sense" on the entertainment page tomorrow, but there is no similar news in their own newspaper, then readers are likely to think that this newspaper is out of touch with society.

This is not what newspaper operators want to see.

So, early Saturday morning, almost all of the key film reviews in the entertainment pages of countless newspapers in North America were related to The Sixth Sense.

This alone is equivalent to a huge investment in all-round carpet marketing.

A large part of the reason why many big directors and big stars are always more successful is that they naturally attract a large number of media and public attention. The works of these people, even if the quality is not high, generally do not fail at the box office because of their wide attention and popularity. If the quality is good enough, it's easy to sell well.

This is actually what people often call 'box-office appeal'.

North America has formed a very complete film review system for a long time, and film critics in newspapers usually do not need to attract attention by spoilers. Daenerys Entertainment's distribution department has stepped up its public relations offensive in this regard under Amy's special instructions. Finally, in Saturday's film review of "The Sixth Sense", almost all film critics carefully guarded one of the most critical secrets of the film in their praise of the film.

Of course, there are no spoilers, but compared to Daenerys Entertainment's complete secrecy during the announcement phase, film critics don't need to be so conservative.

Stephen Hunter, the famous film critic of The Washington Post, wrote clearly very scratched: "Just pay attention, and the sixth sense will make you want to stop, this dark and cold film will finally point to a you Absolutely unpredictable ending. I really, really want to tell you what happened, but I can't do it because you're going to hate me. All I can say is, it's a movie you can't miss this year."

The Los Angeles Times was not as hesitant as Stephen Hunter, but praised it without any hints: "Simon Westeros another meticulous and exquisite script, "The Sixth Sense" is definitely the one I have seen. It's like the one with the best ending in the movie."

Other influential newspaper platforms such as "The Hollywood Reporter", "Variety", "Chicago Sun", "San Francisco Chronicle", etc., in the large-scale "Sixth Sense" film review, all of them are unexpected for the film. The ending makes more or less hints.

In addition to the comments at the end of the film, under the premise of avoiding spoilers, a large number of film critics also focused on analyzing the story connotation of "The Sixth Sense" about redemption, and the performances of De Niro and Cole were also unanimously affirmed.

Cole's actor is just a newcomer selected from many child stars, and comments on acting are more inclined to Robert De Niro, a veteran.

Compared to Bruce Willis, as in many previous films, Robert De Niro plays the role of Dr. Crowe

He put a lot of energy into color, not only did he research a lot of information on child psychology, but also spent a month in a psychological clinic to experience the profession first-hand.

Therefore, the series of words and deeds shown by De Niro in the film are no different from that of a professional psychiatrist.

The New York Post critics unabashedly praised De Niro's success in creating a new realm of screen roles since Dead Poets Society. Critics also suggested in the article that De Niro would be better off dropping his role in the upcoming Goodfellas, lest he return to the shackles of a gangster role.

Combining all aspects of media data, the score of "Sixth Sense of Spirituality" reached the best 8.5 points after the opening of the summer program.

Before that, only Spielberg's "Indiana Jones 3" had a good score of 8 this summer.

Other films, "Bodyguard" was almost sprayed to death by the media, "Ghostbusters 2" also failed, Paramount's "Star Trek 5" reputation is even worse than "Bodyguard". Last week's three new films, the well-received "Dear, I've Made My Child Smaller", received a media score of only 7.5 points. "Longwei Kid 3" was directly labeled as a money-spinner, but "Big Fireball" passed the mark. Yes, the box office was the worst.

Numerous cases have proven that there is no direct correlation between a movie's box office and word of mouth, and many other factors are involved, such as release schedule, screen size, media popularity, and so on. However, "Sixth Sense of Spirituality" has not only won the highest score since the opening of the summer program in the media, but the film's influence among the audience has also spread very quickly.

When the media hinted at the film's wonderful plot, "The Sixth Sense" also had a rare word-of-mouth effect among the public, and many audience members recommended this film to their relatives and friends with mysterious expressions A movie with an unexpected ending.

Coupled with Daenerys Entertainment's previous all-age publicity campaign, and the film's exclusive use of the hottest week of the summer season, all these favorable factors have been combined. After three days of filming, "The Sixth Sense" is only based on 1673 The block screen not only easily won the weekend box office championship, but the total box office in three days is as high as 23.15 million US dollars.

You know, the first seven-day box office of "Bodyguard" was only $23.63 million.

A popular summer slot in North America, due to the increase in the number of moviegoers on weekdays, a movie's weekend box office is usually 60% to 70% of the whole week's box office.

According to such a box office ratio, whether it is box office statistics agencies, public media or Daenerys Entertainment, it is generally believed that the box office of "The Sixth Sense" will be between 33 million and 38 million in the first week, which is already the summer vacation. It is second only to the opening box office data of "Indiana Jones 3" and "Ghostbusters 2".

It's just such a first-week box office, according to Daenerys Entertainment and the theater chain's ladder-sharing contract, "The Sixth Sense" is enough to recover all the production and distribution costs of the film in just seven days.

Still, everyone underestimated the actual box-office potential of the film, which is well-placed and well-placed.

Due to the continuous fermentation of the film's reputation and popularity, compared to the expected 33 million to 38 million, the box office figures of "The Sixth Sense" in the first week and seven days finally reached 41.35 million US dollars, far exceeding everyone's expectations.

Compared with all the other summer movies that failed to get out of the 60% to 70% box office ratio between weekends and the whole week, "The Sixth Sense" only accounted for 56% of the box office for the whole week in the first three days. Driven by the continuous spread of word-of-mouth, a large number of audiences still came to watch the movie after the weekend, and the film's box office share on weekdays significantly exceeded the average value.

In addition, "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" has also become the first film in the summer to break through $20,000 in the first week of filming. With a total of 1,673 screens, the single-house box office grossed an average of $24,716.

In comparison, in the first full week of "Indiana Jones 3", the single-hall box office figure was only $19,773, while "Ghostbusters 2", which opened with a larger screen, achieved $44.91 million in the first week. The figure was only a lower $18,635.

Moreover, the opening screen numbers of "Indiana Jones 3" and "Ghostbusters 2" have both stimulated the film's box-office potential at one time. Neither movie has expanded its release in recent weeks.

Looking at "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality", the number of screens in this film is only 1,673, which is very different from the 2,327 screens of "Indiana Jones 3" and the 2,410 screens of "Ghostbusters 2". The first-week pavilion is close to 25,000 US dollars, and the phenomenon-level movie viewing trend has also been formed. Daenerys Entertainment has no reason not to increase the lineup.

Based on box office data from recent weeks, industry forecasts for Raiders of the Lost Ark 3 in North America are roughly $200 million.

Many people originally thought that this film was expected to break the "monopoly" of Daenerys Entertainment, after "Lola Run" in 1987 and "Rain Man" in 1988, it won an annual box office championship. Now, few people will mention such a statement again. Everyone is just paying attention to where the box office potential of "The Sixth Sense" will go with envy and curiosity.

On July 7, the release of "The Sixth Sense" entered its second week.

Due to the shortage of screen resources during the summer vacation, after urgent consultation with the theater chain, Daenerys Entertainment only managed to win an additional 256 screens for "The Sixth Sense" in the new week, bringing the total number of screens to 1929.

Meanwhile, three new films opened this week, Warner Bros.' Lethal Weapon 2, Fox Pictures' "The Boss Goes on Vacation," and Columbia Pictures' "Sex, Lies, and Videotape."

The first film of "Lethal Weapon" was unexpectedly successful in its unpopular schedule in March two years ago. Although the box office failed to break 100 million, it also became Warner's highest-grossing film that year. However, because the success of the first film was unexpected, Warner did not have 100% confidence in this sequel, and only gave 1803 opening screens.

Fox's "The Boss Going on Vacation" is a comedy. Simon has never heard of this movie, and it has only 1,134 screens.

In the last "Sex, Lies and Videotape", Columbia Pictures obviously also knows that the audience of this low-cost independent film will not be too broad. Although the film is likely to be favored by Westeros, Columbia does not have excessive self-confidence. Only 517 opening screens were arranged in the first week.

However, for a literary film, such a release scale is already very impressive.

Three new films are coming, and Daenerys Entertainment did not dare to take it lightly, relaunching a new wave of marketing for "The Sixth Sense", and coordinating with the "Goodfellas" crew to delay the role of Robert De Niro Shooting so that he can continue to participate in the promotion of "The Sixth Sense", and the other main creators of the film are running around North America non-stop.

Perhaps it is expected that a dark horse can intercept the strength of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality", and the North American media's attention to the three new films has also increased significantly.

After the opening of the painting on Friday, the media evaluation came out quickly.

"Lethal Weapon 2" successfully continued the excellent reputation of the first film, with a comprehensive score of 8.3 points, surpassing "Indiana Jones 2" in May, and only 0.2 points lower than "The Sixth Sense".

Perhaps it was the discussion of the fallen slackers in the film that resonated emotionally, or perhaps it was the attribute of a literary film that was easy to please film critics. "Sex, Lies and Videotape" was unanimously praised by the media, with a comprehensive score of 9.6 point.

In comparison, Fox Pictures' "The Boss Going on Vacation" is silent and has a low score, only 5.3 points, a look of self-abandonment. However, as a brother comedy with a gag and some criminal elements, "The Boss Going on Vacation" also has its own fixed audience.

With three new films released, plus a lot of old films in May and June, the seven-day period from July 7th to July 13th can be said to be the most competitive week in the summer season.
