Chapter 193 A horror movie that breaks cognition

Bruce, great job, I knew you could, just like this, roll over and pin Julia underneath you!

Watching The Sixth Sense complete the overtaking at the box office, although it is only a slight advantage of more than 300,000, The Sixth Sense is still full of joy.

Naturally, Wu Yuchen kept giving Bruce Willis blood. After all, he is the main publicity force and directly affects the film's road show promotion effect.

Bruce was also surprised by Saturday's box office. At first he didn't think he could really beat Runaway Bride, but he didn't expect it to rise so much and achieve a lead. Now that he sees this situation, coupled with such a good reputation and the predictions of professional institutions, he has greatly increased his confidence in the movie box office. He smiled happily at Wu Yuchen and said:

Aha! Wu, don't worry, I'm Bruce Willis, and toughness is an essential quality for a tough guy!

It turns out that it's not just Bruce Willis who's holding up, but The Sixth Sense's box office as well.

Due to the adjacent working day, the box office on Sunday is generally much lower than that on Saturday. For example, Runaway Bride had a box office of 13.11 million on Saturday, but only 9.45 million on Sunday, a drop of nearly 30%.

The Sunday box office of The Sixth Sense made the big-mouthed lady who looked at the document speechless: 15.31 million!

Not only did the Sunday box office of The Sixth Sense not drop from Saturday, it actually achieved a miraculous rise against the trend!

This Sunday's rise and fall directly widened the gap between the box office of The Sixth Sense and The Runaway Bride.

The first weekend box office of Runaway Bride was 35.09 million, which is not bad in all fairness. Logically speaking, it is enough to support the movie's box office in North America to exceed 100 million and earn a lot of profits. It also proves that she, a Hollywood star, can afford the salary of 20 million. But looking at the top-ranked The Sixth Sense which topped 41.29 million, Julia Roberts couldn't be happy.

If it fails to win the first weekend championship, it will undoubtedly fall one position behind, and the reputation of the film will not be as good as that of the other film. Then many swaying viewers will be won over by the other film in the future. Although the film market is not winner-take-all, it does have a snowball effect.

As for the crew of The Sixth Sense, the one who was most excited to see the first weekend box office of 41.29 million was undoubtedly Jennifer Connelly. After all, Justin Wu had already won over 50 million in the first weekend box office with Phone Booth, and Bruce Willis has experienced many big scenes.

Wu Yuchen looked at the opening weekend box office of 41.29 million, and he was quite satisfied. It was not in vain that he advocated for Disney to win more theaters. Then he glanced at the third-placed Blair Witch with 19 million. He felt that if it hadn't been for this movie, the box office data of The Sixth Sense would have been higher. After all, the themes of both films included horror. The thriller elements and overlapping themes will be more or less separated.

However, there is no need to worry too much. The success of The Sixth Sense in its previous life at the box office was mainly due to the box office staying power brought by its reputation. He believes that this part of the audience who often watch movies will eventually be attracted by The Sixth Sense in the future. Entering the cinema because of its good reputation.

Bruce Willis held a glass of red wine and clinked it with Wu Yuchen, and then said with a smile: No matter how many times you win the box office championship, when you occupy this position again, you will feel very wonderful~

Bruce, I thought you were used to it!

Bruce Willis chuckled and said: The competition in Hollywood is very fierce. Even big stars are likely to fall over. What's more, this time we have bumped into Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. Who can win Runaway Bride surprised me! Wu, The Sixth Sense is such a good movie, thank you for inviting me~

What makes him even more happy this time is that while his acting skills are recognized, he can also receive high box office. Moreover, The Sixth Sense directly helped him realize his transformation, which is equivalent to helping him broaden his acting career. It will remove the label that he can only play tough guys and give him a lot more opportunities to compete in some literary dramas in the future.

Wu Yuchen smiled: Bruce, your performance is also great. This role belongs to you!

Then he changed his tone and joked: However, I think it's a little early for you to say thank you~

Huh? Bruce Willis was curious.

It won't be too late when the movie is released and the total box office is released!

Um, Wu, you mean...the box office of this movie will surprise me? Bruce Willis asked uncertainly.

Maybe it can create a new box office record in your career~ Wu Yuchen said with a smile while swaying his wine glass.

Bruce couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He felt that Wu Yuchen must be joking. After all, his career box office record is still quite high. Just last year, he starred in the disaster film The End of the World directed by Michael Bay, which swept the total box office of 553 million US dollars worldwide, ranking first in the global box office in 1998. First place.

Although The Sixth Sense performed well at the box office during its first weekend and received a stellar reputation, he said it was impossible to surpass the 553 million earned by The Last Day.

Think about what movies have grossed over 500 million US dollars in the past few years? So-called blockbusters such as Titanic, Jurassic Park and Independence Day require big scenes and big productions in order to capture the attention of more audiences. Although The Sixth Sense is also very good, a low-budget genre film is still not as intuitive, exciting and shocking as a large-scale production.

In his opinion, it would be great if the box office of The Sixth Sense can reach the 350 million predicted by Cinemascore!

Looking at Wu Yuchen's young face, Bruce Willis can also understand the mentality of young people who become distracted after achieving impressive results. It was not like he had never experienced it back then, and he felt that he was the center of the world.

However, Bruce Willis is not a fool. Naturally, he will not say anything to attack Wu Yuchen when everyone is happy now. The wine glass made a crisp sound when it touched Wu Yuchen:

Wow, Wu, I have to say that your idea scares me. But I really hope that The Sixth Sense can make my box office record reach a new height, so that I can wake up laughing even in my sleep!

Hahaha, you can!

The box office of The Sixth Sense exceeded 40 million in its first weekend, winning the box office championship!

Bruce Willis's transformation defeated Julia Roberts to win the championship!

Bruce Willis's wonderful acting has been recognized by the audience, and The Sixth Sense deserves to be the box office champion!

The newspaper not only reports on the weekly box office competition and film reviews, but also some comments and speeches about the movie by some stars, such as DiCaprio, who has now undoubtedly become a first-line star.

Yes, I went to watch The Sixth Sense immediately. The ending really shocked me. It was great! Both Bruce and Haley gave wonderful performances. Of course, Director Wu The most important thing is that I have worked with him and know what a talented director he is. I look forward to having the opportunity to work with Wu again in the future~

There is also Stallone who is taking care of his daughter at home. His second daughter was just born last year, so he turned down many invitations to become a baby daddy.

There is no doubt that Wu is a very capable director, and there is no doubt about his talent. If it weren't for the fact that my daughter was just born, I would definitely compete for The Sixth Sense, and I can play that role well!

Seeing that these two male protagonists who have worked together have come forward to speak out for The Sixth Sense, Wu Yuchen also raised the corner of his mouth. Of course, he understands better that this is due to the success of his movie. Otherwise, even if DiCaprio and Stallone had friends with him, they would not go against the trend.

Not only mass media tools such as newspapers, the good reputation of The Sixth Sense also allows viewers who have watched it to spontaneously recommend it to relatives and friends around them, or engage in tap behavior on the Internet.

Believe me, you must watch The Sixth Sense. The ending is so great! You can't even imagine it!

Tom, you will never guess what the ending of The Sixth Sense is!

The shocking twist at the end of The Sixth Sense will definitely shock you!

Don't watch Blair Witch, it's garbage! Watch The Sixth Sense, it's a real masterpiece!

On weekdays, whether it's The Sixth Sense or The Runaway Bride, the box office will inevitably experience a sharp decline.

For example, Runaway Bride was cut in half, with a daily box office of just over 4 million. In contrast, The Sixth Sense is much better, with the box office on Monday remaining at 9 million.

Take a look at this theater chain and you’ll see, my goodness, the results of “The Sixth Sense” are going to be the best! A must-do!

So unknowingly, the number of theaters and screenings of The Sixth Sense were gradually increasing. If there are more The Sixth Sense, there will naturally be fewer people.

The object of this reduction is not Runaway Bride. Although its daily box office is only half of The Sixth Sense, Big Mouth Sister and Richard Gere still have the appearance and appeal, and the number of screenings has not been reduced much.

The one that was cut off was of course Blair Witch, a movie that also contains elements of horror and thriller. You, the third youngest, are the same type as the boss. Every time the audience doesn't see half of it, they leave the venue, and you also yell a lot. If you don't kill me, who will I kill?

9.05 million, 9.86 million, 10.05 million, 9.95 million. In four working days, The Sixth Sense received another 38.91 million box office. Although this has attracted the attention of interested people, it is not very abnormal.

What really surprised the market was the second weekend box office of The Sixth Sense: 41.04 million!

The normal second weekend box office is actually similar to Runaway Bride, which dropped 35% from the first weekend to only 22 million.

And The Sixth Sense? Only 250,000 lower than the 41.29 million in the first weekend!

This decline is not even 1%!

This shocked many people in Hollywood. What is this going on? Do you want to go crazy and copy the trend of Titanic?

At the same time, the total box office of The Sixth Sense in North America reached 121 million in the 10 days after its release. There is no doubt that compared with the production cost of 60 million, it is a huge success!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the promoters of The Sixth Sense naturally did not hesitate to promote it, seizing on the good reputation of the film, the shocking ending of the film, family ties, Bruce Willis' acting skills, American child actors who can act, and Wu Yuchen The fact that three consecutive works have exceeded 100 million in North America has been a source of constant hype.

While newspapers, television and other media have praised The Sixth Sense, all parties are also paying attention to the box office of The Sixth Sense.

On the new Monday, many people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the box office of The Sixth Sense finally plunged to 6 million. But in fact, 6 million is quite high. If you hadn’t watched Runaway Bride, wouldn’t the daily box office of this second-rate movie even be less than 3 million?

6.13 million, 6.25 million, 6.02 million, 5.85 million, and 24.25 million in the four days of the week. By the third weekend, the box office of The Sixth Sense dropped only 23%, taking in 31.6 million yuan.

Looking at this momentum, the box office potential is still strong!

At this time, the total box office of The Sixth Sense has reached 177 million, which is very close to the 180 million North American box office predicted by Cinemascore. Everyone can see that this will not be the end of The Sixth Sense!

On the new Monday, Cinemascore also directly raised its forecast for The Sixth Sense in its latest report, with a North American box office of 250 million and a global box office of 500 million!

This is an unimaginable figure for a horror-themed movie. Consider that the North American box office of The Silence of the Lambs was only 138 million, and the total global box office was only 273 million. It was a horror-themed movie that swept the Oscars!

But now no one will think that the Cinemascore prediction is nonsense. After all, the results of The Sixth Sense are here.

In the fourth week, the box office dropped to around 4 million for the four days during the week and 25.38 million for the three days on the weekend. The total box office in North America was pushed to 220 million!

A horror-themed movie that has already grossed over 220 million at the North American box office in less than a month after its release. Not only Hollywood, but the entire United States knows that there is such a movie. This box office has broken many people's perception of horror movies. .

For a time, a large number of reviews and analyzes about The Sixth Sense were released again, just to analyze what is the high point of this movie:

Director Wu Yuchen is very clever. In order to tell this story well, he has set up the plot step by step from the beginning, paved the atmosphere, and the rhythm is also progressive, making all preparations for the explosive ending at the last moment.

Classic ending movies are endlessly memorable. When you are eagerly guessing the ending, a shocking moment suddenly comes. The male protagonist, the psychiatrist, who has been with you tenderly for 100 minutes, Bruce Willis, has already... died!

After experiencing this stormy and unexpected climax, all the previous details will unconsciously emerge in your mind, and then you will find that the fit between these details and the ending is so clever. Then you will look up to the sky and sigh, lamenting that you have encountered such a masterpiece again, and savor the infinite special pleasure during this period.

The ending of the movie also sublimates the concept of the entire movie. Compared with the shocking American horror thrillers, Wu Yuchen is actually trying to explore the unfathomable spiritual world of human beings. What the movie really wants to talk about is the reconciliation between people.

The boy in the movie said, They only see what they want to see. This sentence is not just about ghosts, but everyone! Ghosts can't see each other, so how can humans not see each other?

We cannot measure The Sixth Sense by the standards of horror-themed movies, because it not only contains horror, thriller and suspense, but also contains family affection, love, tolerance and understanding.

There is no doubt that from the father-son relationship in Black Hole Frequency, to the trust and honesty between lovers in Sniper Phone Booth, to this The Sixth Sense, director Wu Yuchen, who created him, is depicting the relationship between people. The timing is so wonderful!
