2246 incomparable
A year ago, "The Ballad of Drunkenness" had a box office of 200 million in North America and is still talked about by people. Even Renly's achievement of such a success with such a theme is also an incredible feat, worthy of the entire film industry. In 2014, major Hollywood film companies can clearly feel the profound impact of this work.
But if it is, the astonishing score of "Drunken Country Folk"'s North American score of 200 million is nine points out of ten, and then the final North American box office of "Breaking Drummer" reached 188 million, then the astonishing score is comparable to 12 points. The appalling level has caused the entire North America to enter the worship mode. Even for Renly, such a feat is worthy of being recorded in history, and it is even a breakthrough that subverts the fixed concepts of the entire industry..
Unlike other well-received independent works, "Blast Drummer" is limited by its own subject matter and genre. It is not a style favored by the market. It faces many difficulties from screening to expansion - Sony Classics' concerns are definitely not groundless. It is more of an accurate summary by professionals in the industry; however, the development curve of the film after it was officially screened fell beyond everyone's expectations, and ultimately created an incomprehensible myth..
Unexplainable! Can't copy！
Even an old fox like Harvey Weinstein, who is well versed in the market and people's hearts, could not find a reasonable explanation. He tried to blame the reason behind the scenes on Renly's "malicious hype", but this statement may be confusing. Those scumbags couldn't impress the experienced academy judges. If he wasn't careful, Harvey might get burned, so he gave up his plan to promote such rumors behind his back..
Perhaps, things can indeed be explained, the only one that seems reasonable：
Renly-Hall.
But obviously, this is not the answer Harvey expected.
“After "Breaking Drummer" showed incredible vitality in the North American market, overseas markets have also paid attention to it - in fact, the international market recognition of thriller movies is still higher than expected..
As early as Sisyphus Pictures announced that it would cooperate with Sony Classics to release "Crack Drummer", distributors in many overseas markets have extended their olive branches one after another, led by major European markets such as France, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom. Major distribution companies came to seek cooperation one after another. Just relying on Renly's title, they were willing to generously buy the distribution rights of the film. They believed that this was a deal that would not lose money..
“The overseas box office performance of "The Folk Song of Drunken Country" was not outstanding, because this work focused on the folk era, with the nostalgic complex throughout and the details that paved the way for it. It was very "American" and had very limited appeal to overseas audiences. In the end, overseas audiences The box office is 70 million, which is already very good compared to independent works during the awards season, but compared to the extraordinary results in North America, the gap is particularly obvious..
Of course, "Exploding Drummer" also needs to face the same difficulties - jazz bands are not bubblegum-style popular culture, and the acceptance of overseas audiences is undoubtedly a challenge..
However, the advantage of "Breaking Drummer" is that it is a passionate and blood-soaked thriller. The fast-paced and highly stimulating viewing effect is easier for the general public to adapt to - thriller, suspense, horror and gore. Movies of this type have always firmly occupied a place in the box office market. They may not be able to replicate the blockbuster effects of family-friendly movies, but they are still an important market force that cannot be ignored..
Therefore, the overseas market prospects of "Explosive Drummer" are far more worth looking forward to than "Drunken Folk Folk Songs". From a business perspective.
The craze caused by the movie entering the screening stage has been widely spread around the world through the Internet. There are also overseas audiences among the voices of "Internet petitions" - they sincerely hope that "Exploding Drummer" can be released smoothly in their own countries and regions. This is also This allowed more overseas distribution companies to see business opportunities. Sisyphus Pictures naturally became a hotline, and Andre Hamilton's work phone number completely became a hotline..
Even "Nightcrawler", which competed in the awards season at the same time, also attracted a lot of attention, and the number of overseas publishers calling to inquire about distribution at least doubled..
Although it is said that it is easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree, who would have thought that Sisyphus Pictures would open up so smoothly in its first year.
Continuously, the overseas market of "Explosion Drummer" began to light up, one after another, just like lighting up a skill book. In the end, a total of fifty-five countries and regions introduced this work-this figure has exceeded It has surpassed similar awards season films such as "Birdman", "The Theory of Everything" and "Foxcatcher", second only to "The Imitation Game" promoted by Weinstein, and even comparable to many commercial movies..
For an awards season work with a relatively narrow audience, especially a work with a production cost of only 3 million, it is a huge surprise - Sisyphus Films expected 20 Five countries and regions have now more than doubled. Even if it is "scared", it is not an exaggeration. We don't even need to calculate the dividends from the North American box office. We have achieved more than ten times the profit through overseas copyrights and made a lot of money. Man Bo Ying.
Unexpectedly but reasonably, the French market surpassed Renly's hometown and became the largest overseas ticket bank for "Breaking Drummer" with a score of 37 million US dollars..
The French market, which has always attached great importance to art films and artistic creations, is second to none in the world in its inclusiveness of film types, styles, themes, etc. At the same time, it is also famous for its support and praise for excellent works, whether it is "Exploding Drummer" or "Drunken Country" "Folk Ballad", the support rate of French audiences remains high - "Folk Ballad of Drunken Country" was one of the top ten in "Cahiers du Cinéma" last year, which shows the popularity of the work..
“It’s no surprise that Explosive Drummer has captured the hearts of France again.
Of course, the British mainland is still Renly's home court. As Martin Freeman joked, although the discussion of Benedict Cumberbatch is on the rise, he is not Renly Hall after all, to be precise. Not everyone can become Renly. The fundamental reason why Renly's achievements are incredible is that they cannot be copied. In the entire British film and drama circle, Renly's influence has reached a new height, with both depth and breadth. Reached an unprecedented peak.
This is inseparable from Renly's aristocratic background - how Princess Diana won the love of the people back then, how Renly has become a representative of the nobility now, and even worse, which also won Renly the love of the people. a transcendent status, a unique existence.
Benedict Cumberbatch and Eddie Redmayne, who emerged during this year's awards season, are also from elite backgrounds. Their family backgrounds and educational resumes are very outstanding. Many netizens have listed them in the list. Entering the "aristocratic" range, such a rare sight is discussed enthusiastically, but the British people hold a different attitude：
The elite and the aristocracy are two different groups. The elite is not the aristocracy..
In other words, there is only one Renly, the only one who cannot be replaced..
There is no doubt that the local British audience has shown extraordinary support for "Crackling Drummer", but in the face of the successive impacts of commercial works such as "The Hobbit 3" and "The Hunger Games 3", the box office data has still been affected to a certain extent. impact, the final cumulative box office impact was 34 million US dollars.
Of course, "The Imitation Game" starring Benedict Cumberbatch and "The Theory of Everything" starring Eddie Redmayne are also popular in the UK..
The former is a biography of the father of modern computers, Alan Turing, a British man; the latter is a biography of the great contemporary physicist Stephen Hawking, a British man. The two films tell the story of the British people. The biographical film of a great figure who has gone down in history naturally has great appeal in the British Isles. It is far more attractive than "Breaking Drummer". What's more, the two leading actors are not unknown..
“"The Imitation Game" grossed $29 million in the UK, and "The Theory of Everything" grossed $31 million in the UK.
After a horizontal comparison, you can see that the results of "Bangkong" are incredible - although the lead has not reached the point of crushing, it must be noted that "Bangkong" has exceeded the box office in France and the United Kingdom. Thirty million is nothing compared to "The Imitation Game" and "The Theory of Everything" - "The Imitation Game" has only exceeded 10 million in three overseas regions, while "The Theory of Everything" has only one..
It is also a work during the awards season, it is also a work starring actors with "aristocratic" backgrounds, and it is also a work for the first group in the competition for best actor during the awards season. In terms of box office data, "Exploding Drummer" has obvious advantages. But... who is comparing it? Woolen cloth? After all, Renly's appeal is unmatched..
In addition to the United Kingdom and France, Germany, Brazil, Spain, Argentina and Japan have successively decreased box office data, and together they form the seven major regions where the overseas box office of "Breaking Drummer" exceeded 10 million US dollars. Among them, the excellent performance of the Brazilian and Argentine markets is truly outstanding. It is eye-catching and can be called a phenomenon. Once again, people can feel the popularity of Renly in South America, even vaguely compared with Europe..
It can be seen purely from the data that the overseas box office performance of "Breaking Drummer" easily surpassed that of "Drunken Country Folk", and its global influence has once again reached a higher level. This is a result that no one expected, Damien Chazer Lei became famous in one fell swoop, and this unknown new director became instantly popular..
“The overseas box office of "Breaking Drummer" has been soaring and shining, from a low-key debut to a hot discussion, and then to spreading all over the world. The cumulative figures have also repeatedly created surprises, gradually breaking the expectations step by step, 10 million! 30 million! 50 million ! Every breakthrough can bring countless cheers..
Then, casually, "Exploding Drummer" exceeded 100 million, and then exceeded 150 million. The overseas market also created its own miracle..
