2241 Sesame blossoms
From professional media to mass media, from senior audiences to ordinary audiences... the "Exploding Drummer" who went off the rails and went too far, causing intense physical discomfort, unexpectedly triggered a small-scale fan carnival, with cheers and The shouts, screams and praises were endless, and the overall momentum easily surpassed the two works of "Interstellar" and "Super Marines", which was enough to surprise everyone..
At the Toronto Film Festival, many viewers experienced strong psychological resistance due to watching "Crackling Drummer", and even vomited and fainted..
This could have been a signal that the box office of a movie would be buried, preventing more ordinary audiences from entering theaters; but unexpectedly, it unexpectedly became a novelty factor for young people to challenge themselves, just like "those works that are forbidden to watch" always It can arouse stronger curiosity. More and more melon-eaters who are trying to "challenge the limits" are entering the cinema one after another, wanting to see how "disgusting" this work is and how "soulful" it is. trembling”.
What's more, this is a film starring Renly. Did Renly do something in the movie?？
During the 30th anniversary of the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of the year, "Breaking Drummer" came out on top, stealing all the spotlight. The overall attention of "Boyhood" was a little lackluster. Later, Venice and Toronto also confirmed that this work is indeed very exciting. Therefore, it was an expected result that the movie won praise after screening; but no one expected that the praise would reach such a level..
The praise for "Crackling Drummer" combines the depth of independent films and the entertainment of commercial films, which also makes the film a rare "box-office potential masterpiece". This really made Sony Classics dumbfounded - they never thought that This is a work that can make a difference at the box office. Even with Renly's bonus, it is probably very difficult..
So, now？
Even now, Sony Classics remains calm: Internet buzz is one thing, overall critical acclaim is one thing, and box office prospects are another thing entirely. How to convert excellent word-of-mouth into box office numbers, this is This is a topic that all the major Hollywood film companies are studying hard. It has certain rules but no mathematical formula. If you don't pay attention to it, you may ruin a good situation - there are countless cases of rave reviews during the screening stage and complete failure during the expansion stage..
However, at least judging from the current situation, the screening of "Explosive Drummer" is working wonders.
Los Angeles and New York, two cities, six theaters, the small-scale screening of "Cracking Drummer" created the biggest carnival party at the end of the year, even overshadowing the strong limelight of "The Hunger Games 3: Part 1", which is currently being released, and it has become a The biggest news of December——
You know, the latter's cumulative box office exceeded 258 million US dollars in just three weeks. Although the finale was divided into two parts and received numerous criticisms, just like "The Twilight Saga", the box office should create The recorded part is still writing history without suffering much impact; but now, even "The Hunger Games 3 (Part 1)" has to take a back seat..
The popularity of the news is evident！
There is no way of knowing how effective the expansion will be, but there is no doubt that the screening results are brilliant; however, people still underestimate Renly's status after all..
Last year, "The Balladeer" made history at the screening stage. With a single theater revenue of $26,000, it not only set a new box office record for a live-action film in a single theater, but also became the second box office record since "Red State." A live-action movie with a box office of more than 200,000 yuan in a single theater. The final box office of the film in North America also incredibly exceeded the 200 million threshold, and it is still talked about by people today..
This year, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" was officially released in March, with a box office of US$202,000 per theater, becoming the third live-action film in history to have a box office of more than US$200,000 per theater, continuing the strong momentum since the Berlin Film Festival. Pay attention, Wes Anderson's unique style seems to have become a crowd among literary and artistic youths; in the end, the North American box office of the film settled at 59 million US dollars, which is very, very outstanding for a small and fresh art film..
However, the film's production cost was as high as 25 million, and the star-studded cast still failed to break through Wes Anderson's directorial style. The North American box office of 59 million was relatively inferior; however, the film's success in the international market However, it showed unparalleled appeal and grossed US$174 million at the global box office, becoming the highest-grossing film in Wes Anderson's directorial career. This also opened the film's awards season..
Now, "Crunch" is keeping pace, becoming the fourth live-action film in history to top $200,000 in a single theater.！
Not only that！
The box office figure of US$250,000 in a single theater even surpassed the two Disney animated works "Hercules" in 1997 and "Frozen" in 2013, and it has become the highest box office in a single theater in film history. Six! That’s just behind five other Disney animated properties — including the record-setting “Super Marines””.
No. 1 in the history of live-action movies and No. 6 in the history of all movies.
“"Breaking Drummer" rewrote history! It is worth mentioning that such figures were created in six theaters. This is also among the top 20 single-theater box office records in film history, except for "Pocahontas" in 1995. "Except for ", it is the only film that has six or more theaters showing on-demand. Even with the large number of theaters, it still cannot prevent a single theater from achieving great box office results..
crazy！
This is the only word that can describe the first week data of "Breaking Drummer" - maybe "abnormal" can also be used. The whole of North America is in a frenzy because of the new single-theater box office record..
“"The Ballad of Drunken Country" set a single-dwelling record, which was more or less expected. The powerful alliance between the Coen brothers and Renly, coupled with the star-studded lineup, can indeed save a lot of energy from a publicity perspective, coupled with the "local The sudden rise of "Gravity" in the autumn season laid the foundation for the film's success..
But these "basics" are all things that "Crackling Drummer" never has - "Big Hero Marines" is an animated movie, and its box office success cannot be attributed to Renly; and what happened to the summer "Interstellar" has not been revealed so far The counterattack curve that was so dangerously completed at the last moment has made many people question Renly's box office power. As for "Breaking Drummer", this has never been a work with box office potential..
Obviously, from "Gravity" to "Drunken Folklore" to "Interstellar" and "Big Bucks", four consecutive works have exceeded 200 million in box office in North America, and three of them have reached a global level of 1 billion. In addition, There are also "Jurassic World" that has been completed and "Rogue One" that is waiting to be produced. All of these have focused people's attention on Renly's commercial performance, so that they have forgotten Renly's appeal.：
Independent art films are the core reason for Renly's status today, and the approval of senior movie fans and professional movie fans is the foundation for Renly's unique Don Quixote. "Explosive Drummer" returns to the artistic field, which has also become a The work that all movie fans have been waiting for.
Thus, the record was born.
“Not only did the box office figures for a single venue of "The Exploding Drummer" easily set a record high, but it also increased the record number of "Drunken Country Folk" by nearly 25%, which can be regarded as a substantial breakthrough. This achievement also It is generally considered "unsurpassable" in the industry, and even Renly himself has difficulty breaking through again..
In just one year, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and "Breaking Drummer" have successively made history; coupled with the media review of "Boyhood" writing history, and a number of competitors eyeing it, everything indicates that , this will be a wonderful awards season, and I can’t help but start gearing up..
In the end, "Crackling Drummer" relied on record-breaking single-box box office data, taking in box office figures of US$1.5 million over the three weekends, and strongly entered the top ten in the North American weekend box office rankings, ranking eighth. name！
Such achievements completely drove the media crazy. With praises and shouts, sighs and surprises, all the noise disappeared and the collective entered the worship mode..
“"The Hunger Games: Part 1", "Big Hero 6", "Penguins of Madagascar", "Bad Bosses 2", "Dumb and Dumber 2", "The Theory of Everything" and "Gone Girl" respectively dominated the weekend box office Rounding out the top seven on the chart is "Crackling Drummer", followed closely by "Birdman" at number nine, and "Nightcrawler" occupying the final spot on the top ten list.
Just by reading this list, you can taste the many details..
“"Gone Girl" rose to prominence during the awards season as a dark horse. It was not expected to be favored at first, but it made a counterattack after its release. The cumulative box office has now exceeded 160 million. The entire Hollywood is cheering for this work, even Calls for Ben Affleck to compete for the best actor title are beginning to rise.
Then "The Theory of Everything," "Punch", "Birdman" and "Nightcrawler" are all awards season candidates, and they have all shown good performance in the box office market, and the audience participation is obviously positive and optimistic. This is undoubtedly good news for the popularity of the awards season; but at the same time, the strength of the competitors also indicates that the competition will be fierce during the awards season..
It is worth mentioning that "Nightcrawler", a work also produced by Sisyphus Films and distributed by Sony Classics, finally entered expanded screenings this week after five weeks of screenings, and the theater chain was increased to one. 1,200, but because the style of the work was too dark and too brutal, the overall box office performance failed to ignite the market. Despite this, the cumulative box office has exceeded 30 million. The follow-up trend depends on Sony Classic Academy PR.
Apart from Renly, the first film produced by Sisyphus Films has successfully achieved success. The double success of word-of-mouth and box office is undoubtedly a positive sign..
Sisyphus Pictures, which was once questioned by industry insiders as a "rich second generation's entertainment," is showing its fangs step by step. As can be seen from the special article in "The New Yorker", Hollywood is not either. No clue; so, does this mean Hollywood is ready for a new player?？
