The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 1590: Single library record
As of December 2013, the box office record of the movie history single hall was still held by the "Lion King" released in 1994. The single hall data of $793,000 can only be created in the screening venues of Disneyland.
Therefore, such single-library box office records cannot be surpassed or broken, and even copying is impossible. At the same time, the top ten movie history records of single-library box office are all held by Disney animations, and their single-library data is always It can easily exceed 200,000 US dollars, which is an explosive power that ordinary theaters do not have.
Before 2010, the box office record of the live-action movie was kept by "Dream Girl". This 2006 work was released with a single-library data of $126,000. This is also the history of North America after "Brokeback Mountain". On the second single-library box office that broke through 100,000, you can see the gap between live-action movies and animated movies—to be precise, it is a cartoon produced by Disney.
But after 2010, this pattern was broken.
In March 2011, the work "Red State" directed by Kevin-Smith created a miracle, with a box office of up to 200,000 U.S. dollars, which became the first and only film in film history. A live-action movie with a box office of over 200,000 in a single library.
Of course, there is a reason for all this.
Kevin Smith became famous when he was young. He was born in New Jersey. He created a script based on his work experience in a convenience store and prototypes of his colleagues around him. He used his relatives and friends to cash out a credit card to raise 25,000. U.S. dollars, and then sought the consent of the boss, every day to use the off-hours to complete the shooting in the shop.
Unexpectedly, this work became famous in Sundance, and went to Cannes, won two film critic awards, and gained three million dollars in revenue after being screened in theaters-that was a distant 1994. , The box office of 3 million at that time was definitely a stunning feat.
This work is the "crazy clerk".
In fact, the "crazy shop assistant" has an unparalleled importance in the history of American independent film:
All the characters in the movie are ordinary people with no acting experience, and even Kevin mobilized his mother and sister; all the lines in the movie are a feast for fans, from "Star Wars" to " From "Great White Shark" to "Blue Velvet" and even "Indiana Jones", all kinds of easter eggs can be seen everywhere; all shooting in the movie relies on a 16mm handheld camera, no lights or no lights. The microphone still insists on on-site radio, and the shooting equipment has reached the most basic level.
Everything is back to the most essential thing of the movie-in the simplest way to present the director's most sensitive state capture of life.
After that, Kevin Smith became famous in one fell swoop. Although he failed to surpass the pinnacle of "crazy clerk" in the next two decades, Kevin became a member of the Boston Gang, with Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and others have become close friends, and the friendship has continued, which also allows him to still occupy a place in Hollywood.
"Red State" is a work about the Westboro Baptist Church-they have gathered at the funerals of Iraqi soldiers many times, holding up the slogan "Thank God for bringing 9/11", or protesting quack Miss is the devil who is corrupting the teenagers. When it was released in 2011, it happened to meet the news of the death of Ben-***, the "911 culprit", and the peak period of the release of a new album after Miss Gaga won the Grammys and reached the top of the bulletin board. The attention of the film was far away. Exceeded expectations.
As a result, all factors collided, and the single-library box office of the "Red State" created a historical record. The right time and place are indispensable.
Of course, it must be noted that the box office of the "Red State" of US$200,044,000 is only shown in one theater during the screening period. Other movies are usually screened in two theaters. Four or more, after the audience is divided, the data is also affected.
After that, the record of the box office of the single-library seemed to be opened. In May 2012, the “Yuesheng Kingdom” had a box office of 130,000, which exceeded the data of the “Dream Girl”; "Master", the box office of a single library was 147,000, which exceeded the figure of "Yuesheng Kingdom".
The single box office 100,000 club suddenly became lively. A total of six works have reached such a high level. In addition to the above five works, there is another 2009 "Precious".
Now, the seventh work is born!
Two hundred and six thousand dollars.
"Zuixiang Folk Song" rewrites history. It not only became the second live-action movie with a box office of more than 200,000 yuan in history, but also surpassed the historical record of the "Red State" and became a single movie history studio sturdily. The highest-grossing live-action movie; more importantly, this result was created in four theaters, not one, but four!
Just this set of data is enough to make everyone amazed.
In a horizontal comparison, two weeks ago, "Frozen" officially premiered at Orlando Disneyland. The click-through of a theater in a theater achieved a data of $243,000 for a single library, which made it a strong hit in the history list. The top ten of the single, such a result has already aroused cheers from all the media——
Even if it is a cartoon produced by Disney, the last time the box office of a single library exceeded the 200,000 threshold was already in 2009. At that time, "The Princess and the Frog" reached such a high level with a score of 393,000. This is The last 2D animation in movie history with a single-library box office exceeding $100,000, officially announced the North American animation film market from 2D into the 3D era.
Now, "Frozen" has become the first 3D work in film history that has a box office of over 100,000, and the era has finally completed its turn.
The historical feat of "Frozen" was only a matter of two weeks ago. "Drunk Country Folk Songs" almost copied the same miracle, and because there are "up to" four theaters, it also made a single library. The box office data has become even more incredible, and any praise or compliment is not exaggerated!
Even for Lan Li, this is an incredible breakthrough.
The box office of "buried alive" is only 46,000, and the box office of "Crazy Love" is 52,000. These two figures can already be in the upper reaches of the same type of movies, but they are placed in history. In the long river, that is not worth mentioning; now, "Drunk Country Folk Songs" has changed this situation, and it is both applauded and popular—at the level of art films.
At this moment, looking back at the midnight show of the "Drunk Country Folk Songs" that was officially screened, the 100% attendance suddenly became a matter of course, and at the same time, it also explained the hard-to-find pomp for the whole weekend. The mighty long queue is reminiscent of the Toronto Film Festival, even during the New York Film Festival.
The four theaters have a box office of 200,600 for a single venue, and 800,000 for the premiere weekend.
This is the official debut of "Drunk Country Folk Songs"!
What's even more incredible is that "Drunk Country Folk Songs" has reached the top 20 in the North American weekend box office rankings with such results, ranking 15th! This has also become the only work among the top 30 in the entire list that is being screened in a small range. Such a feat eclipsed the speech.
In the second week of December, the North American market quieted down a bit. After the bombardment of "Thor 2" and "The Hunger Games 2", it is now waiting for the strong attack of "The Hobbit 2". All the focus of the entire market is Focused on "Frozen".
As we all know, Disney’s 2D animation once dominated North America, and its dominance has lasted for nearly two decades. However, with the rise of 3D animation, Disney has completely fallen behind, not only losing to Pixar, but also Blue Sky Studio, DreamWorks, lighting entertainment, etc. have all walked in front of it.
As a result, Disney learned from the pain, first acquired Pixar, and then calmed down to polish its own 3D animation department. After the first battle of "Invincible Destruction King" in 2012, this year's "Frozen" will continue its efforts and gain. The film critics and audience praised it unanimously, and successfully won the hearts of the entire North American market in terms of box office.
Two weeks ago, "Frozen" was the first to be screened. After receiving good reviews, it was officially expanded in 3,700 theaters a week ago. It won a weekend box office of 67 million US dollars. "The Hunger Games 2", which dropped 53% at the weekend box office the following week, pulled down Malaysia and ranked second with a disadvantage of less than US$6 million.
But this week, "Frozen" defeated "The Hunger Games 2" without any suspense, and reached the top of the weekend champion, and has since stepped out of the trend, controlling the box office drop at 30% for 16 consecutive weeks. Within ~lightnovelpub.net~ even counterattack growth, the cumulative box office in the first two weeks was only 130 million, but the total box office in North America eventually exceeded the 400 million threshold!
Conversely, "The Hunger Games 2", which had a cumulative box office of 296 million in the first two weeks of its release, suffered a heavy hit. The box office plummeted by 65 percent over the weekend of the third week. After that, the box office growth momentum began to relax. Slowly, in the end, the cumulative total box office in North America reached 424 million, which narrowly defeated "Frozen", but the discussion was far less popular than the other party.
In addition, the relative media theory that opened the way for big data launched the small-cost movie "Out of the Melting Pot". Christian Bell was the leader and officially premiered in 2,000 theaters with an investment cost of 22 million. But the box office at the premiere weekend was only 5 million, which I have to say is a huge regret.
On the whole, the focus of the North American film market has fallen on the two works of "Frozen" and "The Hunger Games 2." The five-week-old "Thor 2" hitting 200 million has slowed down seriously, and the release Ten weeks of "gravity" is making history, so more attention is still focused on "Drunk Country Folk Songs".
Ninety-three points of media review, the **** of the Coen brothers and Lan Li, and the outstanding performance during the screening period, "Drunk Country Folk Songs" undoubtedly joined the 2013 awards season!
