……
Most of the above comments came from the social network platforms of Los Angeles residents. After watching the screening, the bustling and disturbing comments began to flood the screen. They immediately joined the discussion wave - but more senior movie fans But he didn’t rush onto the social network impatiently, but savored it carefully..
“"The Ballad of Drunkenness" is a very, very special movie. It is a personal memory of the Coen brothers, and it is also a personal memory of Renly. Now that the audience has watched it, they have also transformed the movie into their own memories. In those images Looking for your own story among the fragments.
There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people. This sentence is obviously very suitable to be used in "Drunk Country Ballads".
From US$206,000 for a single museum to US$190,800 for a single museum, whether it is riding on the wave of "Gravity" or taking advantage of Renly's popularity, "Drunken Country Folk" has There is no doubt about the popularity during the screening period. Los Angeles and New York have been the first to feel this trend, and other cities are becoming more and more impatient..
In the third week of December, "The Hobbit 2" undoubtedly topped the box office in North America with a weekend box office of US$74 million.！
Unfortunately, the results are still lower than expected. Not only did it fail to break 100 million in its opening weekend, but even the predicted score of 80 million was slightly worse. This once again confirmed the film critics' view: the original story is too good. It is too weak, but it needs to be expanded into a trilogy. This is not enough to support the entire structure, which is inevitably disappointing - compared with the "Lord of the Rings" series, the overall media review of "The Hobbit 2" is only sixty six points.
Warner Bros. needs to step up its game！
“The "Harry Potter" series has ended, and the "Hobbit" series has not met expectations and is about to end. In order to maintain competitiveness, they have to speed up their layout. Previously, Barry Meyer was trying to slow down the development progress of the DC Universe. , so what will happen to Kevin Tsujihara now?？
Everyone only saw that the development of the DC universe was too quick and quick, but ignored the real situation behind the superficial phenomena, even Renly. In his last life, Renly was just an ordinary spectator. He could see the phenomena, but he could not understand them. Essentially, even if he can convince Barry Meyer to slow down a little, Barry Meyer may not be able to convince the entire shareholders meeting.
Some historical development trajectories cannot be changed after all..
In addition to "The Hobbit 2", "American Hustle" also achieved gratifying results in the screening stage. It was screened in six theaters and the box office of a single theater reached 123,000 US dollars. It has undoubtedly become a film history This is the eighth live-action movie with a box office of over 100,000 per theater. The all-star cast has also ensured the buzz during this year's awards season..
“The screening results of "Big Dreamer" lacked surprises but were steady. It was screened in 15 theaters and the box office of a single theater was US$27,000. It was basically at the same level as "Buried Alive" and "Crazy Love". The overall momentum was still slightly On the other hand, the public relations strategy of Disney, the distribution company, should be focused on the impact of each individual item..
Sandra Bullock originally missed "Gravity" just for this work. Her unusual partnership with Tom Hanks also made "Big Dreamer" very popular during the awards season; it's just that , Tom's highlight this year should be "Captain Phillips", I don't know how the distribution company will arrange it..
Both of these works ranked among the top 20 in the North American weekend box office rankings, but "The Ballad of Drunken Country" went one step further, with a weekend box office of US$1.58 million, making it into the top 10 in the list, and will Occupying the tenth position, it has achieved such results with only eight theaters screening it. It is also a rare scene on the list..
However, after all, the art films screened during the awards season cannot be compared with commercial films. Sony Classics has no intention of competing for the box office, and all its thoughts are focused on the expansion strategy..
In the third week of screening, Sony Classics still did not rush to expand screenings, but expanded the number of screening theaters to fifteen.
Among them, Los Angeles has added three; in addition, four cities including Seattle, San Francisco, Boston and Philadelphia have each added one screening theater, and are systematically launching screenings on both sides of the coast..
This strategy caused complaints from other cities, but it ensured that the positive reputation of the film could be promoted and fermented throughout North America step by step, like ripples, spreading round and round, and when the stormy waves came, Before, he always maintained his composure.
Facts also prove the correctness of Sony’s classic expansion strategy！
In the third week, the box office of a single screening theater remained at 150,000 yuan, once again surpassing the data of "The Master" and ranking fourth in film history. Such a feat, even Disney cartoons have not been able to achieve it..
In the fourth week, screening venues finally took a slight step forward, with screenings in 20 cities in North America. The number of screening venues reached 45. The box office of a single venue instantly lost more than half, falling back to about US$72,000. However, With such data, it can still rank among the top 20 in the film history list. It goes without saying that the screening results are outstanding..
In just four weeks of screening, the cumulative box office of "Drunken Country Ballad" will exceed 10 million US dollars.！
Ten million dollars, what does that mean?？
So far, the number of movie screening venues has only remained at 45, and it still has not reached 300. Such a feat is probably unprecedented and will never be seen again. At the same time, the production cost of the movie is 11 million US dollars. And now it has basically reached the cost line before it has entered the full release and awards season promotions. This means that Sony Classics can launch Academy PR without any scruples..
Such achievements, such feats, and such momentum are indeed comparable to "gravity"”！
