The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 284: 1 small profit
There is no need to say more about the outstanding performance of "Buried Alive". In the fifteenth week of the screening, after the screening venue broke through 1,000 for the first time, the film received a weekend box office of 2.5 million and successfully returned to the North American weekend box office. The top ten in the rankings, this is commendable for any work, let alone an independent film that no one pays attention to?
"Buried alive" on the scale of 1,200 theaters lasted for another week, and then Focus Films gradually began to shrink the scale of screenings.
From this detail, it can be seen that the inherently insufficient "buried alive" is restricted by the casts lineup without gimmicks, by the small script structure, and by the plot conflict of the complete one-man show. After all, it is impossible to perfectly replicate "Blair the Witch" and "Witch Blair". Smart: "Ghost Record" is a box office miracle.
But does anyone care?
Focus Films has reduced venues step by step to ensure "buried alive" long-term screenings. This allows the film to be released to the first week of April, and the screening cycle reaches twenty-four weeks, which is comparable to commercial films.
At this moment, you can feel the profound influence of the film’s reputation, and the continuous stamina has been unanimously recognized by the audience. In comparison, "Smart: Ghost Record 2" was only released for 13 weeks, and "Chain Saw 3D" was only released for five weeks before being hurriedly offline.
In terms of box office performance, "Smart: Ghost Record 2" achieved an outstanding score of 84 million in the North American market, especially when compared with the investment cost of less than 3 million, which made Paramount more satisfied; The mere 45 million North American box office of "Saw Horror 3D" is hardly exciting. With a production cost of up to 20 million, this data is disappointing. Lionsgate immediately announced the end of the series.
In contrast, under the effective venue control, "Buried alive" made up for the shortcomings of lack of explosive power, but successfully brought the movie's stamina to its extreme.
In the end, the "buried" North American box office lived up to expectations and crossed the 50 million threshold, achieving an excellent result of 52 million! This box office data even surpasses "Chainsaw Horror 3D"! This is a huge success for both the anonymous crew members and Focus Pictures!
At the same time, IMDB scores and theater scores for "buried alive" are finally released.
The theater score was finally maintained at the "A-" position, which is simply the highest praise for a thriller and horror movie. It has almost reached the peak of the reputation of this type of movie, even if any praise is given. However, it can even be compared to some popcorn commercials. It is conceivable that in addition to the 52 million box office sales in North America, after the "buried" video tapes are released, there is bound to be more box office potential to be tapped in the rental market and online on-demand market.
On IMDB, after more than 43,000 users voted, the score for "buried alive" dropped to 7.9 points, which is only a thin line away from the threshold of eight points. Unfortunately, there is no one who can rank among the best two hundred and fifty. The list replicates the miracles of "The Shining" and "The Exorcist".
However, compared to "Blair the Witch"'s 6:4 and "Smart: Ghost Record"'s 6:30, the reputation of "Buried Alive" among the audience has created a new high, which is the sixth sense of "Spirituality". "The highest score ever"-the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural", which got an evaluation of 8.1 points, is the only thriller horror movie with an IMDB score higher than eight points in the past ten years.
From media reviews to Rotten Tomatoes, from IMDB to theater scores, "Buried alive" has truly become one of the most outstanding thriller movies in the new century, which makes people unable to help but wonder: if the focus film industry hadn't The screenings are held, but in accordance with the regular route of thriller movies, large-scale screenings are carried out in more than two thousand venues. Will the "buried" North American box office have a chance to exceed 100 million US dollars? The miracle of "Smart: Ghost Record" is truly and perfectly copied.
However, the North American box office of 52 million is still worth celebrating. Focus Films has made at least 15 million in profits. This is for Focus Films, which has always been in the forefront of independent films, It is really a rare bumper harvest.
What's more, the ultimate goal of Focus Films' choice to lengthen the projection front is not the box office, but the awards season. Such box office results are already a huge surprise.
In addition, under the matching bridge of Focus Films, the overseas distribution rights of "buried alive" have found buyers one by one, making this Spanish-invested English work spread all over the world, with audiences in various countries and regions such as Europe, South America, and Asia. Meet, and achieved encouraging box office results!
The overseas box office received a full 65 million U.S. dollars, and the outstanding performance caused an uproar. This performance even exceeded the North American box office data, allowing people to clearly see the enthusiasm of the overseas market.
Among this, Spain has undoubtedly exploded with great enthusiasm, leading the strong box office with 11 million US dollars and becoming the largest ticket warehouse outside North America.
If it is said that because of Rodriguez Coster and the entire production team of Spanish descent, the Spanish market ushered in an explosion; then the Japanese market has become the second largest overseas ticket warehouse.
Although Japan has a consistent tradition of supporting horror films, this time "Buried alive" won a box office of 9 million U.S. dollars in Japan, which really puzzled experts-the Japanese market's support for local movies is beyond doubt. In addition, they prefer Hollywood commercial popcorn movies to independent products such as "Buried Alive".
The only explanation, is it because of... Lanly-Hall’s handsome effect? Although somewhat absurd, it is not impossible.
In any case, in the final overseas markets, the cumulative box office of the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia and Australia exceeded $5 million. The outstanding performance is amazing!
For a work with an investment cost of only three million U.S. dollars, this is really an incredible journey.
Relying on the excellent box office in overseas markets, the global box office "buried alive" broke through 100 million and achieved an amazing result of 117 million U.S. dollars. In the case of almost no one’s interest, with the propaganda resources approaching infinitely to zero, and in the absence of any propaganda momentum, "Buried Alive" successfully completed the dark horse and delicate feat, even Focus Films has some touches. Not mindful, full of question marks:
Is this so achieved?
A "Buried Alive" successfully made Focus Films a small profit, and also successfully brought director Rodrigue into the sight of Hollywood. It is conceivable that there will be more works to extend an olive branch to Rodrigue in the future. There is even no shortage of invitations for commercial blockbusters; even if Rodrigue intends to prepare a new work by himself, it will be much easier to find investment again. There is no doubt that Rodriguez's Hollywood road has been laid out under his feet.
However, the real achievement of "buried alive" was the success in getting Renly Hall into the public eye.
From the sudden emergence of the "Pacific War", to the topical effect of "Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5", and finally to the emergence of "Buried Alive", Lanly's outstanding performance undoubtedly attracted the attention of the entire Hollywood.
Hollywood has never lacked fresh blood, but Hollywood has always lacked fresh blood-lack of superstars that can detonate the entire market.
After Toronto, the topic of "Generation Y" was mentioned again, and this time it caused countless heated discussions in mainstream American media. Compared with the mainstay baby boomers and the gradually established X generation, the Y generation is on the Internet. The impact of the times seems to be more obvious-the replacement is faster, but there are only a handful of people who can truly gain a foothold.
From Heath Ledger, Jack Gyllenhaal, to Orlando Bloom, Josh Harnett (Josh-), Ashton Kutcher, Shia LaBeouf, and Henry -Henry-Cavill, Bne-Foster...
Almost every year there will be a batch of new stars emerging. Unfortunately, they are either short-lived and then submerged in the torrent of Hollywood; either because of the appearance of the relationship is limited by the development space, it is difficult to expand the choice of roles; or the acting is difficult Satisfied, they can only be temporarily trapped in the image of the vase. These Gen Y actors have never been able to form a climate, let alone assume the role of a pillar in the renewal.
This year, James Franco, Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, Jesse Eisenberg, Joseph Gordon Levitt and other actors have all handed in excellent answers, and the future is promising. But how long can their achievements last? Can you take it to the next level? All this is unknown.
Now, Renly is on the stage.
As an actor who entered the public eye as an Emmy as the emperor, Lan Li’s performance skills are beyond doubt; at present, "Pacific War" and "Buried alive" are two different performance styles, which seem to indicate that he can Digest more different roles; at the same time, Lan Li also took over the filming of "Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5" to test the waters of commercial films, and the future commercial value is also worth looking forward to...
This immediately made all the media excited~lightnovelpub.net~ Could it be that the mainstay of "Generation Y" really appeared?
In the latest issue of People Weekly, ten Gen Y actors with superstar potential were selected, and Lan Li was included in the list. The comment is concise and clear in one sentence, "Will he be the next Tom Hanks?"
Among the many Hollywood superstars, Tom Hanks is the actor who can have both box office and awards. Even Meryl Streep is willing to stand down, this is Tom’s influence in Hollywood. An important reason for transcendence. Only a year ago, the media described Shia LaBeouf as the next Tom Hanks, and now it's Renly's turn.
So, how long can it last this time? Under the expectation of the people, what kind of answer will Lan Li hand over?
Compared with the hustle and bustle of North America, the Lanli, who came to Rio de Janeiro to shoot after the screening, was busy shooting and was so busy that there was no time to pay attention to the news trends in the United States.
The shooting of an action movie is not tolerant of negligence. What's more, there is a Van Diesel staring at him.
