In October this year, "Twin Killers", "Sleeping Curse 2" and "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" were introduced and released in groups, and after the October holiday, the box office will be detonated again.
Twin Killers is Ang Lee's latest masterpiece, a sci-fi action film created in collaboration with Will Smith, and was highly anticipated when filming first began.
At the end of September, the word-of-mouth of "Twin Killers" was lifted, the results were not ideal, and the evaluation of Ang Lee's new work by foreign media was not friendly. At present, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is only 37%, and the word-of-mouth score based on the evaluation of 51 professional media has improved compared with the time when the ban was first lifted, and the previous minimum was only 29%.
On the imdb platform, the score of "Twin Killers" is also relatively bad, only 5.2 points, and the number of ratings exceeds 1600 people.
"Twin Killers" has long been announced to be released in Chinese mainland on October 18, but this schedule has later killed a Hollywood blockbuster, that is, "Sleeping Curse 2", a fantasy movie produced by Disney.
Originally, Ang Lee's new film had a poor reputation, and when it encountered "Sleeping Curse 2", the box office was probably not as ideal as expected.
"Sleeping Curse 2" starred Angelina Jolie, Ellie Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sam Riley, Ed Scrin, etc., the lineup is strong, and the film IP has a strong box office appeal.
The previous work "Sleeping Curse" was released in Chinese mainland in the summer of 2014, when the box office was about 300 million yuan, and the word of mouth was also good, Douban 7.1 points, the sequel came, the box office is bound to reach a new high.
Sleeping Curse 2 is directed by Joe Agim Ronnie, who previously directed Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead. This new work continues the dark fairy tale style of the previous game, and the story is adapted from the classic fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty".
The story continues with the first part, which takes place a few years later, when the relationship between the witch Maleficent and Princess Arlo is relaxed, but still complicated, and in this new work, the witch and the princess will fight the new villain together.
As Disney's latest masterpiece, although the word of mouth has not yet been unbanned, it is certain that the graphic design and action effects of "Sleeping Curse 2" must have quality assurance, depending on whether the story can play new again.
Will Smith's new film "Twin Killers" and Angelina Jolie's "Sleeping Curse 2" will be released on October 18, which one are you optimistic about?
