The box office of 53 theaters is 41100 US dollars, and 2.18 million US dollars for three days over the weekend, ranking among the top ten in the weekend box office list and the ninth temporarily.
"Buried alive" in the box office data to hand over a perfect answer!
Considering that this is the third week of the screening, the box office data of a single library is still so strong, which is flat at the level of US $40000 for three consecutive weeks, reproducing the original myth of "the witch Blair".
Considering the impact of "127 Hours", burying alive shows a rare and powerful appeal. It has been warmly sought after by professional audiences in five large cities, especially in New York and Los Angeles, which are particularly strict with art. It's really amazing that they still have such performance.
Considering that the three commercial films have pushed the market, burying alive has gained 2 million level box office data in three days over the weekend. With only 53 cinemas, burying alive has successfully occupied a place in the top 10 box office of North America in the first week of November, closely following the "social network" in the sixth week, which is really impressive.
Although "buried alive" is far behind "127 Hours" among the film critics, the great commercial potential of the film is enough to prove the excellence of the work. At present, the cumulative box office is as high as US $4.5 million in three weeks. For the focus film industry, Toronto's one shot sale has recovered the cost, and the next step is to enter the profit stage. This is undoubtedly gratifying news.
Therefore, it's too early to say that "buried alive" will lag behind "127 Hours" in the competition of award season.
In the coming award season, these two works are bound to have a fierce battle: desperate survival, Male Solo, Fox Searchlight vs focus film. In the long competition, who can laugh to the end is bound to be brilliant. However, for now, the focus film industry will pay more attention to the "buried" expansion plan——
The current expansion is not only to strive for box office revenue, but also the layout of the award season, which is far more important than expected.
In the second week of November, focus film finally began its journey to expand its screening, increasing the number of screening venues to 141 at one go, and putting them in almost all major cities. After two weeks of word-of-mouth fermentation and a series of online publicity such as IMDB, Facebook and photo wall, the box office of "buried alive" finally led to a blowout.
The box office of a single museum is still as high as 19586, and the three days of the weekend, Hao takes 2.76 million dollars!
During the screening period, the box office has achieved a green rising momentum for four consecutive weeks. The market performance of "buried alive" is quite irresistible. Although the upsurge of watching movies in Los Angeles and New York has gradually subsided, the strong enthusiasm of other cities has successfully pushed "buried alive" to the seventh place in the weekend box office ranking of North America.
It is worth mentioning that, this weekend, the box office performance of "buried alive" has achieved the counter surpassing of "chainsaw 3D", which is only less than 100000 US dollars behind "smart: ghost 2". In the fight for this year's Halloween schedule, "smart: ghost 2" undoubtedly took the lead, but the biggest winner is "buried alive".
This has also led to various reports. Countless news media are exclaiming for the strong performance of "buried alive". Even though it is inborn deficiency, it has not fallen behind in the positive competition with "electric saw 3D" and "smart: Ghost record 2". It has won a place in the annual "terrorist Duel" with an open attitude!
Now, "buried alive" is not only in the paper media attention, but also further into the television industry.
On top of the "Allen Show" which is popular all over the country, the host Allen degenres said in the opening remarks of the latest program, "last weekend, Portia watched a movie with several friends. That night, she had a bad dream about it, which scared her to death. For the next few days, she kept talking about the hero of the movie, I almost thought she was in love with that man. "
Porita De Rossi, Ellen's wife, is a legal same-sex couple. Last year, he even beat Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in several year-end polls and was considered the most influential couple in the United States.
Hearing Ellen's teasing, the audience burst into laughter, which made her smile a lot. "It made me interested. Last night, I finally had the opportunity to watch the film. Hoo, I finally understood Portia's feelings. After I got up this morning, I refused to enter the bathroom. I asked Portia to take out her toothbrush and finish brushing in the living room. Yes, that movie awakened my claustrophobia
Once again, the audience burst into laughter, and Allen opened his hands to show his innocence. "Because this film refused to come to my program promotion invitation, so here, I will not mention the name of this work. Unless that handsome actor wants to come to my show. "
Even so, as he spoke, Allen lay down on the sofa, put his hands on his chest, and looked frightened. The big screen in the background was accompanied by a poster shot by Allen himself, which imitated the official poster of "buried alive". The meaning was really obvious.
As one of the most popular talk shows at present, the influence of "Allen Show" is naturally extraordinary; Not only that, NBC television broadcast 35 seasons of comedy sketch variety show "Saturday night live", but also made fun of "buried alive" in the program.
In the program, they simply shot a short film, played by Andy Samberg as the role of Langley, trapped in a paper box.
Andy tried his best to make fun of many details in the movie, especially when the rattlesnake came in. He even cried a lot. Finally, he turned into hulk and tore up the paper box. Then he found that he was not buried alive, but was put in a coffin, which was right in front of the church, All the guests looked at him like idiots. Then Andy bows and apologizes and exits.
After the launch of this spoof short film, it has been well received and has aroused praise on the Internet. It is even considered to be one of the highest quality clips since the new season of this year.
The spoof and mention of TV programs are undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of "buried alive". This anonymous independent film seems to have broken the shackles and become one of the hottest topics.
Behind this, the public relations ability of focus film industry is beginning to show extraordinary.
It is no doubt inconceivable that so many topics can be set off in one screening stage. From the opening of Toronto and trilliureid, to the midnight fever caused by the "Langley hall" topic effect, to the collective attendance of the "speed and passion 5" crew, as well as the similar comparison of "smart: ghost 2", we can not forget the "127 Hours" assists, and finally the excellent quality of the film itself, This is the success of the "buried alive" now hot situation!
For four consecutive weeks, the box office continued to rise at the weekend. For three consecutive weeks, the box office of a single Museum achieved a good performance of $40000. For four consecutive weeks, the discussion on social network and IMDB continued to heat up“ "Buried alive" really writes its own myth, a Hollywood myth that independent films dream of.
But the journey of "burying alive" is far from over. Subsequently, focus film industry launched the expansion rhythm in an orderly way.
In the third week of November, there were 324 venues; In the fourth week of November, 453 venues... Step by step, finally reached the public screening level in the third week of December. The screening scale of 716 cinemas just reached the minimum standard of public screening, but it is undoubtedly the biggest affirmation of "buried alive"!
As of the second week of December, "buried alive" has been in the top ten of the weekend box office list for the fifth consecutive week in the eight weeks of its release. As a work that has not yet reached the level of public release, such excellent box office performance has attracted a lot of calls from the whole industry, and the cumulative box office has even exceeded 18 million!
At present, 20 million has been confirmed! Now, the industry's expectation of "buried alive" has been adjusted to 40 million US dollars. If the film can make a difference in the award season, it is not impossible to break through 50 million US dollars. Especially considering that the focus film industry has little investment in the publicity, this achievement will be more difficult and valuable.
It is because of this that the focus film industry has steadily expanded its "buried alive" screening front. It can be seen that the box office demand has now declined to the second place, and the award season strategy is crucial. The award season is too long. It lasts from December to March, and there are nearly three months before the voting deadline for the Oscars, If you want to win the vote, you have to be in the eyes of the judges.
LaoLa's focus film industry, rich experience and accurate positioning, is incisively and vividly engraved here. If at the Toronto Film Festival, the North American distribution rights of "buried alive" finally fell into Lion Gate, then the current situation is another matter——
At least, Lion Gate pictures will never sacrifice "chainsaw 3D" to push "live burial". So, if the release schedule is changed, can "live burial" still achieve such a good result?
No one knows the answer and no one pays attention to it. Because "buried alive" now the distribution company is the focus of the film industry, methodically in the award season to start a solid pace.
In the fourth week of January, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony ended, the Oscar nomination list was announced, and the expansion scale of "buried alive" reached its peak, showing in 1200 theaters! This is the first time that the number of "buried alive" screening theaters has exceeded 1000. Meanwhile, the box office performance of the works has not let people down. In the three days of the weekend, 2.5 million performances broke out again, killing back to the top 10 in the weekend box office list of North America.
However, this is the 15th week of the release of "buried alive". It has performed so well that it can no longer be expressed in any language.
