The first update, please recommend, please subscribe!

When "Deadly Identities" started filming, the media paid a huge amount of attention. Because this is Evan Bell's first film as a producer, and the film has gathered a large number of charismatic actors, the cast is worthy of convincing.

When "Deadly Identities" premiered, the media still paid more than normal attention. Because this is the new work of the most watched actor in the first four months, and it is also the first work after the Oscar's best supporting actor statue was stuffed into Evan Bell's pocket.

At the end of the premiere of "Deadly Identities", media attention flooded in like a flood. For the scandal of Evan Bell and Natalie Bōterman overwhelming, the media seems to think that there is exciting news between the two people; professionals are full of eyes on the positive and negative comments of the movie itself, and the high IQ movie is full of attention. For the third time, the title was placed under the name of a film starring Evan Bell.

Evan Bell always seems to be associated with high-IQ movies, "Death Illusion," "Adaptation," and "Deadly Identities." The box office of "Death Illusion" can only be said to be ok, but the DD market is extremely hot; "Adapted Script" both achieved better-than-expected results at the box office and DVD, so what about "Deadly Identity"?

Although it is now the end of April and the beginning of May when the movie market is slightly low, due to recent changes in current events, the release of movies has been crowded together. Before "Deadly Identity", there were "Anger Management", "Fantastic World", "Bulletproof Monk", "Three Boats", "Singing in the Wind" and "Marbury Kidnapping Case" landed on the big screen, while At the same time as "Deadly Identity", there are also many competitors.

A remake of the 1973 Oscar-winner "Deception" film "Deception", starring Dustin Hoffman, Andy Garcia, Edward Burns and Rachel Weisz. This is a collection of big names, similar to the commercial blockbusters of "Eleven Arhats", "Mission Impossible", and "The Trap of Stealing the Sky". It can be said that they are aggressive and hope to create good results in this relatively rare time slot for blockbusters.

"Three Generations in the Same House" is produced by MGM, and led by Michael Douglas, who is well-known in movies such as "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", "Wall Street" and "Instinct", brings an American family comedy story.

In addition, the live-action documentary "Real yòuhuò" launched by the American MTV TV channel is also about to be released. This film records a real event. The production company conducted an open selection of actors at numerous universities in the United States. After the eight men and eight women were selected, they were invited to participate in an eight-day spring break trip to Mexico. During these eight days, there was no script but a true record of their unruly youth and romantic parties, as well as a little bit of romance. It was billed as the world's first truly documented feature film.

Although there are many competitors, such as last week's box office champion "Anger Management", such as "Cheating the World", which is determined to win, the media still has expectations for the box office of "Deadly Identity". After all, with Evan Bell's current appeal, plus the blessing of the Oscar statuette, and the appearance of the film itself, even if it is an independent film, it is bound to have a certain impact at the box office. Therefore, the media believes that this week's box office competition is completely a triwizard hegemony.

"Deadly Identities," which opened in 2,700 theaters on Friday, grossed $23 million in three days over the weekend. As competitors, "Anger Management" 18 million "defrauding the world" made everyone fall into the eye, and only took less than 6 million at the box office.

As a result, "Deadly Identity" easily won the North American movie box office chart in the last week of April this year. "Anger management" came in second place, and after "There is nowhere else to go" and "Malibu kidnapping case", it was the "deceiving the world" with great ambitions. As for the other two new films, "Three Generations Together" is ninth, and "The Real yòuhuò" is tenth.

Although the box office of "Anger Management" has exceeded 100 million, and the independently produced thriller and suspense film "Deadly Identity" has also won the box office of 23 million, it still cannot hide the low box office in April. Under such circumstances, a work that can be called a blockbuster was put into play in early May, officially kicking off the summer season, and 20th Century Fox announced: "The X-Men are here!

In 2008, "X-Men" set the highest billing record for non-sequel series movies, and finally achieved a score of 120 million, which also made "X-Men" the 20th Century Fox's successor to "Alien" and "Planet". The most successful franchise since the Great War. The "X-Men" series of comics has been a best-seller in the United States for 40 years, and has become the best-selling book in the history of American comics with sales of nearly 8 billion.

This time, the "X-Men", which brought together heavyweight actors such as Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, and Patrick Stewart, was also known as the first bō of the 2003 Hollywood super offensive.

"X-Men 2" is scheduled to be released simultaneously in 80 countries and regions around the world on May 2. Such a huge distribution offensive even broke last year's "Star Wars" record of simultaneous release in 74 countries and regions around the world. With such a momentum, almost all the eyes of Si Xiao people were focused on this movie.

In addition, the comedy film "The Queen of Civilians", adapted from Disney's popular TV series "New Growing Pains", will also land on the big screen. This TV series starring Hilary Duff is very popular and is currently the most popular TV series under Disney. After the filming of the film version was completed, Disney called it a modern version of "Roman Holiday" in its promotion, which attracted a lot of attention.

"The X-Men is a blockbuster movie. After the schedule is determined, other films have retreated. "Civilian Queen" is the only film that dares to confront head-to-head, but because the target audience of "Civilian Queen" and "X-Men" There is no conflict, so the confrontation between the two is not to watch. Including "Deadly Identity", thriller and suspense movies, and comic book hero blockbusters are not the same type. The focus of the media is not on who the box office champion is, but on "what kind of box office the X-Men can achieve, and how much will the box office of other movies be affected.

In the first week of May, "X-Men was released, and immediately swept the box office. With a box office of 107 million, no one could compete. There is no doubt that this week's North American box office champion was "X-Men to destroy the ancients." Laxiu's momentum won. So, with such a strong momentum, what about the box office of other movies?

Since Evan Bell's debut, only "Ice Age" can be regarded as a blockbuster, but unfortunately it is still a cartoon. Therefore, Evan Bell is rarely able to show a sweeping trend at the box office. Of course, the popularity of "Sniper Phone Booth" is definitely an accident, and the box office of 200 million US dollars is still talked about. Therefore, David Greenblatt has always been very critical of Evan Bell. For this reason, Evan Bell's works have always been dominated by independent films, and they have never been able to show their power at the box office.

This time, in the face of "The Angry Police", "Deadly Identity" was originally a thriller and suspense movie that is not easy to create box office miracles, and now it is even more detrimental to creating box office.

But the fact is that "Deadly Identity" has actually shown astounding vitality. It has stubbornly maintained the decline in the box office, and successfully won the box office of 20 million US dollars. The decline was even less than 10%, and the cumulative box office exceeded $45 million. The drop of less than 10% is an amazing result in itself, and this is still a box office figure achieved under the pressure of "X-Men, which almost shocked the media from their seats.

As a result, the news that "Deadly Identity" won the runner-up in the North American box office rankings this week with a box office of 20 million US dollars at the time of "X-Men sweeping", but tenaciously achieved the "X-Men related reports". The space is jaw-dropping.

Perhaps, Evan Bell has never starred in a real blockbuster - "Pirates of the Caribbean" has not been released yet, and it is still a pirate film that everyone dislikes; perhaps, Evan Bell has two works that exceed 200 million at the box office, but One is a cartoon, the other is a dark horse; perhaps, most of Evan Bell's current roles are independent films. However, Evan Bell's appeal to the box office is beyond doubt. There was "Death Illusion" at first, "adapted script" recently, and now "Deadly Identity". Actors who can drive the box office of independent films are even rarer than the top actors of commercial blockbusters.

Evan Bell, in his most unique and special way, handed over his box office answer sheet.

"Civilian Queen" was one million behind "Deadly Identity" and took the third place. But the 19 million box office result still made this lighthearted romantic comedy recover its cost in a week and also made Hilary Duff, a young girl, become a household name overnight. Evan Bell suddenly thought of Anne Hathaway, who became popular with "Princess Diaries" two years ago. Thinking about it, "Princess Diaries 2" seems to be filming this year.

Next, "X-Men fell heavily, but still topped the North American box office with $5,000." "Identity" only took $1,000 at the box office, a drop of more than 50%, and fell to the third place. The second place of "Daddy's Rangers" was 32 million at the box office. The decline of "Civilian Queen" was even more serious. , with only $7 million in fourth place.

"The smoke of the X-Men is still in the air, and "The Matrix 2 Reloaded" is officially released again, and the summer blockbuster is imminent.

First there was "X-Men, and then there was "The Matrix 2 Reloaded" with a box office record of $121 million, not to mention "Deadly Identity", even "Daddy's Rangers", "X-Men" All have been implicated, and the box office has dropped significantly. However, in its fourth week of release, "Deadly Identity" once again gave a dazzling result above the box office!
