The box office of "anti cancer me" in North America broke through 100 million yuan. Although the box office professional analysts had predicted such an outcome after the box office decline of the next week, when the fact really happened, the exclamation still came out involuntarily, which seemed to have become a phenomenal work. Lion Gate pictures was so happy that tears fell, However, people in the industry have broken through countless glasses and have no idea how all this happened?
There are many reasons, such as pleasing theme, solid script, director control, Seth Logan, festival scenery... But after stripping all these additional factors, the focus of attention finally falls on lanli. Especially after the accident at the premiere, the controversy surrounding lanli and the way lanli handled it were even more impressive.
Langley and Seth attended the interview of "Ellen show" hand in hand. In the program, Ellen dejannis raised such a question: "controversy, it seems that there are always disputes around you, but you seldom make gaffes, don't panic and don't argue. Why on earth is that?"
In the face of such a question, Lan Li's answer is as follows:
"I always think that the world is objective, but it is subjective in everyone's eyes, which also means that what kind of attitude you hold towards the world, then what kind of world you see in front of you. It could be hatred, it could be kindness, it could be happiness, it could be disaster. In my world, those so-called disputes are meaningless. They can bring harm because you allow them to harm you. "
This mature and wise, intelligent and philosophical answer won Allen's standing ovation.
"Anti cancer me" is such a work. It can be a simple comedy, a diary of self-examination, or a warm Christmas Carol - or a song of life. Accidents, however, give the film more meaning.
This is not the first time that Langley has worked miracles.
In the past three years, Langley has played in four works. Except for "buried alive", the other three works have successfully achieved more than 100 million achievements in North America. Among them, "speed and passion 5" is 300 million in North America, and lanli plays as the third supporting role, which can't be attributed to him; But there is no doubt about "crazy love" and "anti-cancer me". What's more, the investment of these two works is extremely low. The former is 250000 yuan, while the latter is 800000 yuan. The box office results are so crazy. This is the miracle behind the figures.
No matter "love crazy" or "anti-cancer me", lanli is worthy of important contributions. This young actor of generation Y first proved his talent in performance, and then proved his charm in the market. He deserves to be the biggest discovery in the North American market in 2011.
In the eyes of Hollywood's major film companies, the commercial value of lanli has risen sharply! Even comparable to Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp Jr. why? Because... Good quality and low price!
It's really interesting, or ironic, to discuss this topic at this moment.
Not long ago, lanli left "speed and passion 6" and joined "tomorrow's edge". According to the rumor, the number of film remuneration has not been able to reach an agreement. This is one of the important reasons. Universal Pictures has offered eight million dollars, but it still has not been able to move lanli. In the end, Warner Bros. made a generous offer of US $10 million plus a 5% box office bonus to build the "tomorrow's edge" project with lanli as the core.
Behind these figures, people know that universal pictures is stingy and Warner Brothers is generous. For the sake of eight million, Universal Pictures gave up lanli; For 10 million, Warner brothers got the blue gift.
Let's review the three works of lanli this year, "speed and passion 5". Lanli's remuneration is 0.5% of the dividend, with a revenue of 1.5 million and a box office of 300 million in North America“ Love is crazy. "Lenley's pay is 20000 plus 10% bonus, earning 1.3 million, and the box office in North America is 120 million“ I'm an anticancer man. "Lanli's film salary is 800000 yuan plus 5% dividend. Based on the current box office data, the income is 1.3 million yuan. At present, it's 100 million yuan in North America.
In other words, lanli's highest film reward so far is only 1.5 million, but each work has made several times the profit return. Although the relevant list of "Forbes" has not come out yet, it is certain that in the list of actors with the highest return rate this year, Langley will win the championship by an absolute advantage, far ahead of Hollywood's top stars.
For such actors, not to mention 10 million, even 15 million, or even 18 million, it is worth it. So, is universal pictures losing or losing?
After "speed and passion 5", Langley entered the eyes of major Hollywood film companies for the first time. His name began to appear on the candidate list of many projects, including some super blockbuster projects, but his influence was limited after all; Now, "crazy love" and "anti-cancer me" have successfully completed two successive attacks, and the commercial value of Langley has risen rapidly. In an instant, he has become the hottest new favorite in Hollywood.
Even if lanli is shooting "tomorrow's edge", the next schedule is completely uncertain; Even though the award season has officially entered the stage of college public relations, Los Angeles has gathered countless celebrities... But Andy Rogers has become one of the most popular agents in Hollywood, with an endless stream of calls asking about schedules, information and projects.
It's the essence of Hollywood to put profit first and entertainment to death. For a long time, 20 million clubs have been regarded as an important basis for judging an actor's essential status in the industry. However, it is not so much the club itself as the interests hidden behind the club. It is driven by the interests that the reputation, power and status correspondingly change.
That's what blue rite is now.
However, the box office journey of "cancer fighting me" is still not over, and the new year's Day holiday is coming. For the western world, Christmas is similar to the Chinese New Year. Although it is a holiday, family reunion is the most important thing; Comparatively speaking, new year's Day is a time for friends to party, which makes the film market prosperous.
Not only three days on weekends, but also a few days between Christmas and new year's day, cinemas have become the best choice for leisure and recreation. The box office data of the whole market has fully recovered, sweeping away the depression and silence of the previous four weeks, showing a gratifying upward momentum and swaggering to welcome the arrival of 2012.
In this week's weekend box office rankings, the top 20 works, except "mission impossible 4", all other works' weekend box office data showed a green counter growth trend. The "spooky shadow game" with the least growth rate had 3%, while the "war horse" and "New Year's Eve" with the most growth rate had a 90% increase!
The enthusiasm of new year's Eve makes "New Year's Eve" undoubtedly the most perfect work for the occasion and is highly sought after.
"Mission impossible 4" in two consecutive weeks have handed in a good answer, this week, under the holiday bonus, the weekend decline is only 0.5%, almost the same as the next week's data, although it is not a green increase, so the data is still worth cheering; What's more, thanks to the crazy surge of box office in the middle of the week, the cumulative box office in the three weeks has reached 132 million, and the hope of 200 million in North America has dawned.
To be sure, "mission impossible 4" is one of the most outstanding works in December this year, but the box office champion in December this year has another person: "cancer fighting me".
Entering the fifth week of the show, the "cancer fighting me" boom is still unabated, with the weekend box office growth reaching 30% and another $12.4 million; At the same time, the box office performance in the middle of the week was also outstanding, and the enthusiasm for watching the film was always high, which made the cumulative box office of the film reach 143 million in five weeks!
It's not "mission impossible 4", it's not "ghost game", it's not "war horse", it's not "Adventures of Tintin", it's not "New Year's Eve", it's not "girl with Dragon Tattoo", it's "anti-cancer me".
This low-cost independent comedy, valiantly became the box office champion in December 2011, which has surpassed the cumulative box office of "crazy love" in North America; At the same time, it also equaled the box office data of Juno in 2007, which was 143 million; What's more, the box office of Seth's famous work "one night belly" in North America is 148 million, which also means that "cancer fighting me" will soon become Seth's highest box office live action movie!
Except for the inconceivable, any language is powerless. The right time, the right place, the right way, the wrong accident, the right time, the wrong place, the "anti-cancer me" in the right and wrong, accidental fit to the perfect time, and finally wrote an unrepeatable legend.
After a new year's frenzy, the box office growth momentum of "anti-cancer me" finally slowed down, highlighting the weakness of lack of stamina. In the first week of 2012, it delivered 42% of the box office decline, which was the first time since the film was released that the decline exceeded 40%, and the pace of rapid progress slowed down.
Despite this, the film was released smoothly in all major theaters until April, which lasted for 20 weeks. Finally, the box office in North America reached $176 million, ending its journey of dark horse miracle. The cumulative box office results even exceeded 169 million of "bridesmaids", becoming the biggest dark horse in 2011 and the most profitable work at the same time.
This is the most outstanding comedy at the box office since "My grand Greek Wedding" in 2002. No one shows any interest in the big Greek wedding as like as two peas, but there are no big brands. Even the distribution hall has only more than 100 rooms, not just a show, but an independent distributor, which can only talk about more theaters.
In the end, the $5 million film swept 240 million box office in North America, making it one of the most amazing periods in film history.
Now, "anti cancer me" has successfully copied this feat!
