It was already the final month of the year when [Hex - Part 1] was at the end of the last end of his run. In North America, the movie had beaten every other biggie to emerge as the king of the box office.
Just three weeks after its release, another big budget movie has been released. A sci-fi action movie based on a popular Japanese manga. The manga was so popular that a 70 million dollar Hollywood movie was finalised to be made on it.
But it had faltered at the box office.
The cause of it was not [Hex - Part 1] directly as it was already at the end of its run back then. With over 580 million dollars in North America and 358 million dollars from overseas.
The issue came from people already having spent their money on [Hex - Part 1] and not wanting to go to cinemas so early again. Both the movies were anyway trying to be blockbusters.
One succeeded and the other failed.
