[US Entertainment] Crossover superstar

"In the solemn and dark tone of "The Sixth Sense", Shyamalan firmly controls the inner direction of each audience. The film uses the diagonal scene between the child psychologist Mike and the patient boy Cole to see ghosts through the boy's supernatural powers. The eyes of the novel achieve an excellent rendering of horror and suspense, and after that, the unexpected but reasonable ending makes people ponder: How many people can only see what they want in reality..."

""The Sixth Sense" is a classic thriller and suspense movie, and it is also a typical ending movie. The classic ending movie is always unforgettable. David Fincher's "Seven Deadly Sins", Kevin Spacey's "The Usual Suspects" and Frank Darabont's "The Shawshank Redemption" are typical ending movies. Among many films, "The Sixth Sense" is a moderate anomaly. The subtlety of the plot design and the earth-shattering shock of the ending, "The Sixth Sense" is no less than "The Seven Deadly Sins" and other predecessor movies. And these excavations about humanity and emotions also make this ending-style film dressed in the cloak of a thriller a breakthrough surpassed the level of "Chain Saw", and may even reach the height of "Shawshank's Redemption"..."

After Jeffrey got up in the morning and washed up, he just walked downstairs wrapped in his nightgown, when he heard Ryan's voice whispering from the dining room.

After hearing Ryan's voice, Jeffrey frowned slightly, feeling a little confused, not knowing what Ryan was doing.

He scratched his messy blond hair with one hand, rubbed his sleepy eyes with the other, and shuffled towards the other side of the restaurant.

And when Jeffrey walked into the restaurant, he saw Ryan crossing his legs, sitting at the dining table with a newspaper in his hand, and was reading the contents of the newspaper in a low voice.

"Aha……"

"Ryan, what are you talking about so early in the morning?"

Jeffrey yawned as he walked towards Ryan at the dining table.

"Ah... Geoffrey? Are you awake?"

After hearing Jeffrey's call, Ryan immediately put down the newspaper in his hand and looked back at him.

Jeffrey nodded, and after pouring himself a cup of hot coffee, he sat down beside Ryan.

"Jeff, I'm reading the newspaper! You see, these are reviews of the movie "The Sixth Sense"..."

While watching Jeffrey talking, Ryan pushed a few newspapers in his hand in front of him.

These newspapers were bought by Suzy Tara early in the morning.Since Elena hired Susie, the task of buying newspapers fell to her every day.

And because yesterday was the premiere of "The Sixth Sense", these newspapers published relevant film reviews one after another.

So, when Ryan woke up in the morning, he took the newspaper on the table and started to read.

"Oh? I don't remember you having a habit of reading newspapers..."

Jeffrey couldn't help rolling his eyes when Ryan said he was reading a newspaper.He has known Ryan for almost three years, and he has never seen him read any newspapers, at most he only reads them.

"Hehe...I..."

Ryan smiled awkwardly after hearing Jeffrey's words.

Looking at those movie reviews, he felt a little happy in his heart, so he couldn't help but read out loud.

"Ryan, bring me the few remaining newspapers you have over there!"

Jeffrey looked at Ryan in a good mood, and he could guess right away that the few newspapers that Ryan had read must have had some good movie reviews.

So Jeffrey just glanced at it casually, and didn't look through it carefully.

"Ok!"

Although Ryan didn't understand why Jeffrey wanted to read several newspapers on his side, he still pushed them over.

""The Sixth Sense" - a dialogue between people and ghosts. There is a joke in Hollywood: Don't do movies with children or dogs! The reason is that they will have unexpected performances, or they will ruin the whole movie, and everyone will give up; or He performed exceptionally well and stole the lead... Needless to say, Jeffrey Craig's performance in the movie, he performed very well in "Home Alone 3", with amazing acting skills... And In the movie "The Sixth Sense", Bruce Willis's performance is also a bit surprising. In my original impression, Bruce was just a person who can act in violent movies, and his acting skills are as big as his muscles—— Blocky, stiff! And this movie gave me a new or more complete understanding of Bruce Willis: even big, stiff muscles have nuanced textures..."

"Although the concept of the movie "The Sixth Sense" is novel, the flaws of the movie are also obvious. Could it be that the protagonist of the movie, Malcolm Crow, has not realized that he has become a ghost for a whole year? No contact between the wife and anyone other than the little boy? No need to drive? No need to buy a ticket in a car? No need to go into a store? No need to turn on the TV, watch a movie, take a shower?

These film reviews are all published in entertainment newspapers such as "Premiere", "Chicago Sun-Times", "Hollywood Film and Television News" with a special column for film reviews, and the reviews are also mixed.

But on the whole, most of the film critics have good reviews, and the response after the premiere of "The Sixth Sense" is still very good.

However, whether a movie is good or not depends not only on the reviews of film critics, but also on whether the audience buys it or not, and whether the movie is a hit or not.

Therefore, Jeffrey just casually read these published movie reviews.

Now, he will no longer be as excited and indignant as he was when he read the film reviews of "Home Alone 3".

At this moment, Jeffrey is most worried about the box office of "The Sixth Sense".

After Director Shyamalan led the crew of "The Sixth Sense" Haohao Tangtang to carry out a series of film promotion conferences in the United States, the movie "The Sixth Sense" has successfully aroused the curiosity of the American people , It ignited the public's interest in watching movies.

In addition, after the premiere of "The Sixth Sense", many famous film critics gave very good evaluations of the film. Some film critics even compared "The Sixth Sense" with "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Shawshank". "Redemption" compared.

Therefore, before the movie "The Sixth Sense" was released, the freshness of the movie's Rotten Tomatoes rose to 90%, which is a very high data.

At the same time, the popcorn index of the movie has also climbed to 85%, and the audience is also looking forward to this movie.

Finally, on August 2100th, under the arrangement of Bowei Film Distribution Company, the optimism of many film critics, and the expectation of the audience, "The Sixth Sense" was screened in more than [-] theaters across the United States.

Although "The Sixth Sense" was released at the same time as "The Prehistoric Crocodile", "In Hot Water", "The Vengeful Warrior", "The Blair Witch", "The Runaway Bride" and "The Secret Corps", which were released at the end of July and the beginning of August. Several movies are in the same schedule.

But "The Sixth Sense" still achieved amazing box office results after it was released.

After the film was released, it made a box office of 805 million US dollars on the first day.

Although this result is not particularly good, but this box office result is far higher than that of several other movies in the same period, and it is still very good.

Because "The Sixth Sense" is still a horror and thriller movie, and the movie rating is also pg-13.

Therefore, the box office performance of this movie on the first day did not reach the height of "Home Alone 3".

Besides, when "Home Alone 3" was released, a large number of fans of the "Home Alone" series of movies had long been waiting.

Moreover, "Home Alone" is also a popular movie rated as G, suitable for people of all ages to watch, unlike "The Sixth Sense" which has strict viewing age requirements.

Therefore, when Jeffrey got the movie's first-day box office data from Director Shyamalan, he was not very disappointed.

Although he also knows horror and thriller movies, the audience is far from as broad as comedy movies.

But Jeffrey is very confident in "The Sixth Sense", and he absolutely does not believe that the box office after this movie will be bad.

Sure enough, one week after the film was released, that is, on August 4389, the total box office of "The Sixth Sense" in the United States reached [-] million US dollars.

That week, the box office of "The Sixth Sense" far surpassed other movies of the same period, ranking No.1.

A week after its release, "The Sixth Sense" made its money back, because the entire film cost only $4000 million to make.

After only one week of release, the cost was recovered. This is an extremely difficult thing in the history of American movies!

Moreover, with the popularity of "The Sixth Sense", the number of theaters for the movie "The Sixth Sense" has also continued to increase.

In mid-to-late August, even in "Rock City Detroit", "The Bowfinger Project", "You Are Next", "Sunset", "Night Hunt", "Space Puppet Adventures", "G-Type" Under the simultaneous impact of several films such as Detective, Space Alien, The Haunting and The Horror Factor, the box office of the film "The Sixth Sense" did not fluctuate much.

On Aug. 31, nearly a month after "The Sixth Sense" hit theaters across the U.S., the film's schedule increased to more than 2700, and its total box office hit $1.43 million.

And this is only the box office in the United States, and does not include other overseas movie box office data.
