There is no need to say more about the outstanding performance of "buried alive". In the 15th week of its release, when the number of screening venues exceeded 1000 for the first time, the film gained 2.5 million at the weekend box office, and successfully returned to the top 10 in the weekend box office list of North America. This is commendable for any work, What's more, it's an independent film that nobody pays attention to?
"Buried alive" was shown in 1200 theaters for another week, and then the focus film industry gradually began to shrink the size of the show.
It can be seen from this detail that the inborn shortage of "burying alive" is restricted by the no gimmick cast of CASS, the small pattern of script structure, and the plot conflict of the complete one-man show. After all, it is unable to perfectly copy the box office miracles like "the witch Blair" and "smart: Ghost record".
But does anyone care?
The focus film industry has cut down the venues step by step to ensure the long-term screening of "buried alive". As a result, the film has been fully released in the first week of April, and the screening cycle has reached 24 weeks, which is comparable to that of commercial films.
At this moment, we can feel the profound influence of the film's word-of-mouth, and the continuous stamina has been unanimously recognized by the audience. In contrast, "smart: ghost 2" was only released for 13 weeks, while "chainsaw 3D" was only released for five weeks, and it was released in a hurry.
In terms of box office performance, "smart: ghost 2" has achieved 84 million yuan in the North American market, especially compared with the investment cost of less than 3 million yuan; However, the box office of "chainsaw 3D" in North America with a mere $45 million is hardly exciting. With the production cost as high as $20 million, this figure is disappointing. Lion Gate pictures immediately announced the end of the series.
In contrast, "live burial" makes up for the lack of explosive power under the effective control of venues, but successfully brings the film's aftereffect into full play.
In the end, the "buried alive" box office in North America passed the 50 million mark and achieved 52 million outstanding results! This box office data even surpasses "chainsaw 3D"! This is a great success for the cast members of unknown origin or for the focus film industry!
At the same time, the IMDB score and cinema score of "buried alive" were finally released.
The score of the cinema finally maintained in the position of "a -", which is the highest praise for a horror film, and has almost reached the peak of the reputation of this type of film. Even if you give any praise, it is not too much, and it can even be comparable to some popcorn commercial blockbusters. It is conceivable that, in addition to the 52 million box office results in North America, after the release of the "buried alive" videos, there will certainly be more box office potential to be tapped in the rental market and the online on demand market.
On top of IMDB, after more than 43000 users voted, the score of "buried alive" dropped to 7.9, just a line away from the threshold of 8. It's a pity that it didn't make it to the top 250 of the best movies and copy the miracles of "flash" and "Exorcist".
However, compared with the 6.4 points of "the witch Blair" and the 6.3 points of "smart: Ghost record", the public praise of "buried alive" in the audience has reached a new high, which is the highest achievement since "the sixth sense of the supernatural" - the "sixth sense of the supernatural" with an initial score of 8.1, It's the only horror movie with an IMDB score above eight in the past decade.
From media reviews to rotten tomatoes, from IMDB to cinema scores, "burying alive" has really become one of the most outstanding horror films in the new century. People can't help but wonder: if the original focus film industry didn't hold a screening, but followed the regular route of horror films, and released them in more than 2000 venues, Is there a chance that the "buried alive" North American box office will exceed 100 million US dollars? Truly perfect copy of "smart: Ghost record" miracle.
However, the 52 million box office in North America is still worth celebrating. The focus film industry has made at least 15 million profits, which is a rare harvest for the focus film industry, which has always stuck to the front line of independent films.
What's more, the ultimate goal of the focus film industry to choose to lengthen the screening front is not the box office, but the award season. It's a big surprise to see such a box office result.
In addition, with the help of the focus film industry, the overseas distribution rights of "buried alive" have found buyers one by one, making this Spanish invested English work go all over the world, meeting audiences in Europe, South America, Asia and other countries and regions, and achieving encouraging box office results!
The overseas box office reaped 65 million US dollars, and the outstanding performance caused an uproar. This achievement even surpassed the box office data of North America, so that people can clearly see the enthusiastic pursuit of the overseas market.
In this process, Spain has undoubtedly burst out with great enthusiasm, leading the box office with us $11 million, becoming the largest ticket warehouse outside North America.
If we say that because of Rodrigo Coster and the entire Spanish production team, the Spanish market ushered in an outbreak; So it seems inconceivable that the Japanese market has become the second largest ticket warehouse overseas.
Although Japan's support for horror films has a long tradition, the box office of "buried alive" in Japan has reached 9 million US dollars this time, which really baffles experts. There is no doubt that the Japanese market supports local films. In addition, they prefer Hollywood popcorn commercial films to "buried alive" independent products such as "three noes".
The only explanation, is it because of... Langley Hall's handsome effect? It's absurd, but it's not impossible.
In any case, in the final overseas market, the cumulative box office of the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia and Australia all exceeded US $5 million, which was amazing!
It's an incredible journey for a work with an investment cost of only three million dollars.
Relying on the excellent box office in overseas markets, the "buried alive" global box office has made a strong breakthrough of 100 million US dollars and achieved an amazing achievement of 117 million US dollars. In the case of almost no attention, in the case of unlimited publicity resources approaching zero, in the absence of any publicity momentum, "buried alive" successfully completed the delicate feat of dark horse, even the focus film industry is a little confused, full of question marks:
This, in the end, is so achieved?
A "buried alive" film has successfully made a small profit for the focus film industry, and has also successfully brought the director Rodriguez into the eyes of Hollywood. It can be imagined that there will be more works extending olive branch to Rodriguez in the future, even without the invitation of commercial blockbusters; Even if Rodriguez plans to prepare his own new work, 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 "burying alive" is that it has successfully brought Langley hall into the public eye.
From the sudden emergence of "Pacific War", to the topic effect of "speed and passion 5", and finally to the birth of "buried alive", Langley's outstanding performance undoubtedly attracted the attention of the whole Hollywood.
Hollywood has never been short of fresh blood, but Hollywood has always been short of fresh blood - the lack of superstars who can detonate the whole market.
After Toronto, the topic of "generation Y" has been mentioned again, and this time it has caused a lot of heated discussion in the mainstream media of the United States. Compared with the mainstay baby boomers and the gradually established X generation, the impact of generation Y in the Internet age seems to be more obvious - the Generation Y is updated faster, but few can really stand firm.
From Heath Ledger and Jack Gyllenhaal, to Orlando Bloom and Josh Hartnett, to Ashton Kutcher and Shia Labov, as well as Henry Cavill and BN foster
Almost every year, a group of new stars emerge. Unfortunately, they are either short-lived and then drowned in the flood of Hollywood; It is difficult to expand the role choice because of the limited development space due to the relationship of shape; Either the acting skills are unsatisfactory and can only be temporarily trapped in the vase image. These actors of generation Y have never been able to form a climate, let alone play a supporting role in the renewal.
This year, James Franco, Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johnson, Jesse Eisenberg, Joseph Gordon Levitt and other actors all gave excellent answers, and the future is expected. It's just, how long can their achievements last? Can we go a step further? All this is unknown.
Now, Langley is on the stage.
As an actor who has entered the public eye as an Emmy viewing emperor, there is no doubt about Lan Li's performance skills; At present, "Pacific War" and "buried alive" are two different performance styles, which seems to indicate that he can digest more different roles; At the same time, lanli also made "speed and passion 5" to test the commercial film. The future commercial value is also worth looking forward to
This immediately makes all media excited. Does the mainstay of "generation Y" really appear?
In the latest issue of People magazine, ten generation Y actors with Superstar potential were selected, and Lan Li was included in the list. In a word, the comment is simple and clear, "will he be the next Tom Hanks?"
Among many Hollywood stars, Tom Hanks is the best actor who can win both box office and awards. Even Meryl Streep is willing to take the lead. This is also an important reason why Tom's influence in Hollywood can not be surpassed. Just a year ago, the media described Shia Labov as the next Tom Hanks. Now, it's Langley's turn.
So how long can it last this time? Under the expectation of all, what kind of answer will Lan Li give?
Compared with the hustle and bustle of North America, lanli, who came to Rio de Janeiro after the screening, was busy shooting and had no time to pay attention to the news trend of the United States.
Action movie shooting is not allowed to neglect, not to mention, there is a van diesel in the next covetous.
