With less than two weeks left before the annual Halloween, horror movies have begun to be launched one after another, but these low-cost thriller and horror movies have not been able to shake the dominance of "gravity" in October, which also means that the film has taken another solid step towards creating a new height of history.

In the third week of October, three movies were released on a large scale in more than 1,500 theaters.

First, the new remake of the 1976 classic horror movie "The Witch Carrie" was officially premiered. It was starring Chole-grae-moretz, who once played "The King of Seas" and was well-known, and it was starring Julianne Moore, with an investment of 30 million US dollars.

The second is Disney's first wave of operations this quarter's awards season, with "WikiLeaks", Benedict Cumberbatch and Daniel Bruch, who just received a high reputation in "Fast Wind/Flow", focusing on "Julian Paul-assange, the founder of "WikiLeaks".

Finally, the action blockbuster "Golden Cicadas escaped". Although the investment cost of the movie is only 50 million, the appeal of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger cannot be underestimated. The reason why they chose the autumn schedule instead of the summer schedule is because Lionsgate hopes to make a breakthrough in the off-season.

Unfortunately, the reputation of all three works is a terrible one.

Even the "WikiLeaks" that was in the awards season had a fresh index of only 37% on the Rotten Tomato website, which was cursed in blood under the expectations of the crowd. On the contrary, the 50% fresh index of "Golden Cicadas escaped" was even more outstanding, but this was useless. The ratings of all three works failed, and the major film critics were wailing.

The box office of the premiere of "Witch Carrie" was 16 million on the weekend, the box office of the premiere of "God of the Cicada" was 9.8 million on the weekend, while the box office of the premiere of "WikiLeaks" was only 1.6 million on the weekend.

Among them, the investment cost of "WikiLeaks" is 28 million. It is considered one of the most worthy works of this year's awards season in the preparation stage. Benedict is also likely to hit the Oscar nomination, but now it has suffered a devastating blow, from reputation to box office, all of which are red, like blood.

The box office data of the three works are all superimposed, but they still cannot shake the box office champion status of "gravity"! They are not even able to launch an effective impact, and the entire market is still firmly maintained by "gravity". Therefore, the entire North American market collectively witnessed the film's feat of continuing to work hard and rising steadily!

Thirty-eight percent!

The weekend box office decline in Gravity in the third week was only 38%. Such data is slightly inferior to the 36% of "Spider-Man" in the same period, and slightly lower than the 41% of "Monster Shrek 2" in the same period. In addition, the same period data can also be compared horizontally with 43% of "Batman: Dark Knight".

Such data is already scary enough, but that's not all.

The premise is that the box office performance of "Georges" in the first week and the second week were even better, and now, under the cover of the powerful firepower of the extraordinary box office decline in the third week, it is getting closer to the historical record step by step.

In the third week of release, "George" won 60 million box office data on the weekend. In the entire history, it was second only to "Avatar" in the same period of 68.5 million, temporarily ranked second. Previously, the box office in the first week was eighth, the box office in the second week was second, and the box office in the third week was still second. It can be clearly seen that the counterattack box office curve of "George" is still rising.

So, what exactly does this mean?

Could it be that "gravity" really needs to exceed $700 million in North America historically?

Just imagine in my mind that all the news media began to get excited. No one could have expected the "Avatar" to reach such a height, and it could even be said to be shocking. Why is "gravity" now? After all, this movie now has all the conditions to create history.

At this moment, people were amazed after realizing it. Last year's "Edge of Tomorrow" achieved a record of 550 million North American results, which proves Lanli's strong market appeal. This year, Lanli's "gravity" that took the lead in the lead further impacts 600 million to 700 million North American. What's wrong with this?

There is no doubt now. Through two commercial films starring, Lan Li has proved his unique market appeal. He has vaguely surpassed Robert Downey Jr. and showed the attitude of being the number one in North America. Hollywood seems to be finally about to start changing the world?

In the third week of October, "Georgement" achieved a strong three-game title in the fall season without any suspense with a weekend box office of $60 million, and in one go, it pushed its cumulative box office for three weeks to 390 million. Now it is only one step away from 400 million. Now it is basically determined that the 500 million level in North America can be basically determined. As for whether it can climb higher box office data, the next few weeks will be absolutely critical.

Behind "Gravity", "Captain Phillips" ranked second, and had already won 52 million in two weeks of its release, basically the same investment cost. This also means that the strategy of this movie's awards season is correct, and box office and awards can be grasped together, and Sony Columbia Pictures's dangerous chess has achieved results.

Then, "Witch Carrie", "Gourmet from Heaven 2", and "Prisoner" ranked third to fifth respectively.

Immediately afterwards, the North American market was still accumulating strength, but the Halloween boom could be vaguely felt. The two works "Idiot Funny Show 4" and "Black Gold Murder Intention" were premiered in more than 3,000 theaters.

"Silly Fun Show 4" is a typical spoof show derivative, which is a prank where someone is scaming on the street. For example, someone suddenly cuts off his right hand, which is just a trick. However, there is a camera next to it that truly records the reactions of ordinary passers-by, and then creates funny points for the audience. Now it has become a movie. There are not many stories, but it is actually a comedy work of a pseudo-documentary.

But the fourth part of the series shows its popularity. The 2010 "Idiot Funny Show 3D" premiere weekend achieved a box office of 50 million, which was the runner-up of the autumn premiere; the cumulative box office reached 117 million, while the production cost was only 20 million.

"Black Gold Murder Intention" is the highlight of this week. The director Ridley Scott, who directed "Alien", "Gladiator", "Black Hawk Down", and "Blade Runner", was directed by Ridley Scott. Although the investment cost was only 25 million, it was a collection of top actors such as Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Javier Barden, Penelope Cruz, and Cameron Diaz.

The script of the film is adapted from Corma-Mcarthy, the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Literature, is one of the popular objects of adaptation of major films. The most famous one is undoubtedly the "Old Nowhere to Belong" in 2008. After the adaptation of the Coen brothers was brought to the big screen, they won the Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director the following year. "Black Gold Murder" is the fourth work adapted by Cormack.

Undoubtedly, "Black Gold Murder Intention" is a work aimed at awards season, but it also has certain box office capabilities. The reference objects are works such as "New York Gang", "Classic Car", "Old Nowhere to Belong", etc. Therefore, 20th Century Fox arranged a grand premiere and held a large-scale release in 3,000 theaters, looking forward to the awards season.

but……

Twentieth Century Fox is destined to be disappointed. The "Black Gold Murder Intention" has followed the footsteps of "WikiLeaks". Only 35% of the Rotten Tomato Fresh Index has already hit the point where no one can recognize it. Even the Rotten Tomato Fresh Index of "Silly Fun Show 4" is 60%!

The box office data also proves this. The box office of the "Black Gold Murder" single museum was only 2,500 yuan, and it earned 7.8 million US dollars in three days on the weekend, which basically declared the tragic fate of not being able to get the awards season.

Since the "American Gangster" in 2007, Ridley has failed four consecutive works, "Body of Lies", "Robin Hood", "Prometheus" and "Black Gold Murder Intention".

Of course, strictly speaking, "Prometheus" only had a box office lower than expected, but its reputation still successfully won the love of many senior movie fans. However, from the box office data and the prospect of the awards season, these four works are unsatisfactory, which also triggered countless lamentations in the industry, "Liang Po is old, can he still make a living?"

In sharp contrast, the box office explosive power of "The Stupid Funny Show 4" was hit 32 million on the premiere weekend. Compared with the ultra-low investment of 15 million, Paramount, responsible for production and distribution, has once again achieved profitability. If coupled with the "Spirit: Ghost Record" series, which was also produced and released by Paramount, they have now become experts in sneak attacks on box offices in the off-season.

Faced with the impact of "Small Guy Show 4", "gravity" still demonstrated its style of a strong man. It delivered an excellent box office of less than 40% for the second consecutive week, only 37%. It earned 38 million box office data in three days on the weekend, defeating its opponents by nearly 6 million, successfully achieving four consecutive championships in the autumn, dominating the North American box office throughout October.

By the way, this is the first four consecutive championships in the North American film market in 2013!

People can say that it is because the competition in the autumn is not fierce enough; people can also say that it is because "gravity" has not encountered the impact of the same type of movie... But without managing what it is, this movie still created its own miracle. At this point, the position of "Iron Man 3" annual box office champion has officially given way to "gravity"!

Now, everyone is involuntarily beginning to wonder, who can stop "gravity"? Can it still achieve five consecutive championships? More importantly, is its box office really ready to hit 600 million and 700 million?
