has a good reputation. The box office results on the first day were not outstanding, but after two days of "fermentation", relied on the super high reputation evaluation, and the "stamina" gradually became prominent, and the film scheduling rate also increased from 11% on the first day. At 19%, is the suspenseful work "Knife Unsheathed" that the author would recommend to everyone today.
01, box office & word of mouth
This movie was released in North America two days earlier than in China. It achieved a box office score of 41 million in North America and 113 million yuan in China, second only to 158 million in "Two Tigers";
Currently, the global gross box office is 70.91 million U.S. dollars. It can be said that it is a suspenseful work that has won with content.
Speaking of the reputation of this movie, it should be regarded as the highest rated work in North America in November. Of course, the quality of this movie is also worth it!
on North America’s rigorous MTC, 50 media gave it a score of 82 points, which is higher than many big investment works in the same period ("Frozen 2" 65 points), almost all praise, in 2019 Word of mouth ranks 51st.

Let's take a look at our country's Douban. 110,000 people gave 8.3 points of comments.
That is to say, no matter in North America or in China, this work is well-known, and "crushed" Hollywood blockbusters and other dramas of the same period. Many friends think it can be ranked in the top ten of the year.
The critic with the highest number of likes on North American MTC said:
"It ("The Knife Out") is a fascinating and wonderfully crafted movie. Although there is inevitably a corpse, it is like a Warm and comfortable antidote to resist the cold of winter."
"Instead of letting the plot manipulate his character, let the character manipulate it (plot). This is an extremely rare feat in Hollywood!"
02, logically satisfactory Contact
For suspense films, tells the story well, and can justify every segment and foreshadowing is the key to the success of the film.
, whether it is the typical Spanish "Invisible Guest", "Mirage" or the "Tuner" in a small Indian language, all presuppose the foreshadowing from the beginning, achieving logical self-consistent and unity of the corresponding front and back, and achieved A double harvest at the box office.
"The Knife Out of the Sheath" movie, the author gave a rating of 8.5 after watching it. This rating is already very high (I rarely give full marks), not that this movie is not perfect, but it can be improved Space. The
film directed by Ryan Johnson revolves around a rich novelist Harlan who was found to have committed suicide at his 85th birthday banquet in his home library, and the hundreds of millions of fortunes left behind became the beginning of the movie.
The prestigious detective Blanc (“007” Daniel Craig) came to this manor to investigate the truth under the guidance of an anonymous letter,
's arrogant daughter, a daughter-in-law who eats money, a selfish son, and There is a desolate grandson Lanson (played by Chris Evans of the "American Team"), and the various characters of also constitute the key clues in the process of solving the case. In a contest of wealth, inheritance, family affection, etc., the incident The truth gradually surfaced... In the suspense narrative of the movie
, one of the biggest breakthroughs was the setting of "suspense and ending". In general suspense dramas,
is divided into two types: "Suspense with Ending" and "Suspense without Ending".
has the suspense of the ending, which refers to the detection of a case. When the truth comes to light, the movie is coming to an end;
and "the suspense without ending" refers to the fact that there are new waves and suspense after the event is over, such as After the murderer in the movie was "named",He will further destroy the scene of the crime, destroy evidence to wash himself away, and plant others.
In "The Knife Out of the Sheath", director united these two suspense together, giving the audience a strong sense of substitution in the case of reversal and reversal. In the analysis of the case,
also elicited praise for the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature and the universal sentiment placed by the director.
03,
In short, this movie can be called an exquisite work of art in terms of cast, story content, and shooting style.
personally likes the old man Haran’s bookstore and the style decoration of the mansion very much. It has a European retro feel. The color and visual presentation of this movie is also similar to the "Budapest Hotel".
Since the film’s reputation is so good, and there are "007" and "Captain America" leading roles to help out, why did the box office results in the first few days in China be relatively average?
The author thinks that the biggest reason is the influence of publicity and the name of the film.
It is clearly a North American mystery film, but it has been translated as "Knife Out of the Sheath". Although the theme of this movie revolves around the human nature behind the knife "Doughnut", it always makes many viewers think it is a bash Street’s small-cost domestic film , even some friends felt that they were “lied” by the name, and did not highlight its advantages.
At the same time, although this work is sophisticated, there is almost no publicity for it. Compared with the overwhelming "two tigers" advertisement, the cinema has no relevant materials to display, and it has also dissuaded many suspenseful fans on the first day.
However, good movies are still word of mouth. After a few days of fermentation, has clearly shown a trend of counterattacks, rising from 15% of the box office to 26%.
Of course, the original cost of this work is not high, only has a budget of 40 million. The key is that the story is well told, the team is careful, and it can still achieve better economic benefits.
