In October, the movie market finally became lively! The North American market has a rare hot scene this year, with many Hollywood blockbusters gathering together, with strong new films appearing every week.
Under the stimulus of Marvel’s “Shang-Chi” super strong gold, “Venom 2“, which has been changed several times due to the epidemic, has not withdrawn the mention, and chose to be released in North America on October 1.
It has created an eye-catching opening result.
The action giant “007: No Time to Die“, released in North America a week apart, finally came out after more than a year of postponement.
The film’s pre-sale results were huge, with a box office of 56 million U.S. dollars in three days in the first weekend.
On the 15th of this month, the 12th sequel of the longevity horror series “Halloween Kills” will be released on the same day as the medieval historical film “The Last Duel” created by Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Ridley Scott.
On the 22nd, one of the most anticipated blockbusters of the year, “Dune“, will face the awards season movie “The French Dispatch” released on the same day.
PK with two luxurious line-up films, let’s count the stars together.
Compared with the previous ones, the small and medium-sized thriller “Last Night in Soho” and another horror mystery film “Antlers” will be released on Halloween at the end of the month.
Halloween matches the temperament of these two films.
Although blockbusters are gathered together, each blockbuster has a different type. Science fiction, action, history, horror, and comedy all have their own advantages.
Strongly clashing, they are expected to bring heat to the North American market.
At that time, it is very likely that there will be a movie that will break the annual box office record of over 200 million U.S. dollars set by “Shang-Chi” in North America.
Which one do you like?
In addition to the above-mentioned blockbuster works, in October, North American theaters will also have HBO series “The Sopranos” prequel “The Many Saints of Newark“, animated film “The Addams Family 2” “Ron’s Gone Wrong“, this year’s Cannes Palme d’Or Winner “Titane“, as well as other films shortlisted for this year’s various film festivals such as “Old Henry“, “Mayday“, “Lamb“, “Mass“, “Bergman Island“, “The Souvenir: Part II“, etc., will be released at intervals.
The strong melee has begun, who will be the final box office winner?
