From the professional media to the mass media, from the senior audience to the ordinary audience... The "pop drummer" who has gone astray, gone crazy, and caused strong physical discomfort unexpectedly triggered a small-scale Carnival of fans, with cheers, shouts, screams and praise all the time, The overall momentum is lighter than "Star Trek" and "super marine", which is enough to surprise everyone.
At the Toronto Film Festival, many audiences suffered from strong psychological resistance, even vomiting and fainting after watching the "pop drummer".
This might have been a signal that the box office of a film was buried, preventing more ordinary audiences from entering the cinema; However, unexpectedly, it has become a novelty seeking factor for young people to challenge themselves. Just like "those forbidden works" can always ignite a stronger curiosity, more and more melon eaters who are trying to "challenge the limit" have entered the cinema to see how disgusting this work is How on earth does the soul tremble.
What's more, it's a work starring lenley. Did lenley do something in the movie?
At the 30th anniversary of the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of this year, "pop drummer" took the lead and robbed all the elegant demeanor. The overall attention of "Youth" was a little dull. Later, Venice and Toronto also confirmed that this work was really expected. Therefore, after the film was screened, it won high praise, which was the expected result; But no one thought that the praise could reach such a level.
The praise of "pop drummer" combines the profundity of independent film and the entertainment of commercial film, which makes the film become a rare "box office potential masterpiece", which makes Sony classic laugh and cry - they never think it is a work that can make a difference at the ticket room level, even if there is a blue Li bonus, it is estimated to be very difficult.
So, now?
Even now, Sony classic has also kept calm: the Internet boom is one thing, the overall praise is one thing, and the ticket room prospect is quite different. How to convert excellent word-of-mouth into box office figures is a topic that Hollywood's major film companies are painstakingly studying. With certain rules but no mathematical formula, a little inattention may ruin the good situation. There are countless cases of high praise in the click stage and losing in the expansion stage.
However, at least from the current situation, the "burst drummer" is working wonders.
Los Angeles and New York, two cities and six cinemas, the small-scale screening of "pop drummer" created the biggest Carnival Party at the end of the year, even overshadowed the popularity of "hunger Game 3 (Part 1)", and became the biggest news in December——
You know, in just three weeks, the cumulative box office of the latter has exceeded 258 million US dollars. Although the grand finale is divided into upper and lower parts and has been criticized countless times, just like "Twilight city", the part that should create a record at the box office is still writing history and has not suffered much influence; But now, even "hunger Game 3" (Part 1) "has to take second place.
You can see the heat of the news!
There is no way to know the effect of the expansion, but there is no doubt about the brilliance of the results; However, people have underestimated the status of lanli after all.
Last year, "drunken Ballads" made history in the screening stage. With the data of 26000 US dollars per studio, it not only set a new record for the box office of live action movies, but also became the second live action movie with the box office of 200000 US dollars per studio since "red state". In the end, the box office of movies in North America also exceeded 200 million US dollars, It is still talked about by people today.
This year, "Budapest Hotel" was officially released in March, with a single box office of US $220000, becoming the third live action movie in history with a single library data exceeding US $200000, continuing the intense attention since the Berlin Film Festival. Wes Anderson's unique style seems to have become a group of young artists; In the end, the box office of the film in North America was $59 million, which is very good for a little fresh art film.
However, the production cost of the film is as high as 25 million, and the star studded Cass lineup has not been able to break through the directing style of Wes Anderson after all, and the 59 million box office in North America is relatively inferior; However, the film has shown an unparalleled appeal in the international market. The global box office of 174 million U.S. dollars has become the highest box office work of Wes Anderson's directing career, which has also opened the way of the film award season.
Now, "pop drummer" keeps up with the pace and has become the fourth live action movie in history with the box office exceeding 200000 US dollars!
More Than This!
The box office figure of 250000 US dollars in a single Museum even surpassed the two Disney animation works of "Hercules" in 1997 and "ice and snow Wonderland" in 2013, and became the sixth highest box office figure in the single Museum of film history! It's just behind the other five Disney animations - including the recently recorded "super Marines.".
The history of live action film is the first, and the history of all films is the sixth.
"Burst drummer" rewrites history strongly! It is worth mentioning that such a number was created in six cinemas. This is also the only one of the top 20 box office records of a single film history museum with six or more cinemas, in addition to the "strange fate in the wind" in 1995. Even if there are a large number of cinemas, it still can not prevent a single film museum from making a good record at the box office.
insane!
This is the only word that can describe the first week's data of "pop drummer" - maybe "pervert" can, and the whole of North America is in a frenzy because of the new single Hall box office record.
It is more or less expected that "drunken folk songs" will create a single Museum record. The strong combination of the Cohen brothers and Langley, together with the star studded lineup, can really save a lot of energy from the perspective of publicity. In addition, the sudden emergence of "gravity" in the autumn stalls has laid the foundation for the success of the film.
But all these "Foundations" are not possessed by "pop drummers" -- Super Marine Corps is an animated film, and its box office success can not be attributed to Lan Li; What happened to the "Star Trek" of the summer program is still fresh in my mind. At the last moment, it almost completed the counter attack curve. Many people even began to question the box office driving force of blue Lee. As for the "pop drummer", it has never been a work with box office potential.
Obviously, from "gravity" to "drunken ballad", to "Star Trek" and "super Marine Corps", four consecutive works broke the box office of 200 million in North America, and three of them reached the height of one billion in the world. In addition, there are "Jurassic world" which has been completed and "Grand Theft Auto one" which is waiting to be produced, All these make people pay attention to the business achievements of lanli, so that they forget the appeal of lanli
The independent art film is the core reason why Langley has today's status, and the approval of senior fans and professional fans is the foundation of Langley's unique Don Quixote. "Pop drummer" returns to the art field, which has become the work that all fans are looking forward to.
So the record was born.
"Pop drummer" not only easily created the highest box office number in history, but also increased the record number of "drunken folk songs" by nearly 25%, which can be regarded as a significant breakthrough. This achievement is generally considered as "beyond" by the industry, and even lanli itself is difficult to break through again.
In just one year, "Budapest Hotel" and "pop drummer" made history successively; In addition to the media review of the history of the "Youth", as well as a number of covetous competitors, all of which indicate that this will be a wonderful year award season, not from the beginning.
In the end, "pop drummer" won the top ten and the eighth place in the weekend box office of North America with the box office data of 1.5 million U.S. dollars in three days over the weekend!
Such achievements completely make the media crazy, praise and cry, exclamation and surprise, all the noise disappeared, and collectively enter the worship mode.
"Hunger Game 3 (Part 1)", "super marine", "penguin of Madagascar", "bad boss 2", "dumb and Agua 2", "theory of everything" and "lost lover" respectively took the top seven in the weekend box office charts, followed by "pop drummer", followed by "Birdman" in the ninth place, "Night Walker" took the last place in the top ten.
Just reading this list, you can taste many details.
"The lost lover" rose strongly in the award season as a dark horse. It was not expected, but after its release, it completed the counter attack. At present, the cumulative box office has exceeded 160 million. The whole Hollywood is cheering for this work, and even Ben Affleck's call for the film king has begun to rise.
Then "all things theory", "pop drummer", "Birdman" and "Night Walker" are all candidates in the award season, and they all show a good state in the box office market, and the audience participation shows a positive and optimistic attitude, which is undoubtedly a good news for the popularity of the award season; But at the same time, the strength of competitors also indicates that the award season bayonet red competition.
It is worth mentioning that "Night Walker", which is also produced by Sisyphus pictures and released by Sony classic, finally entered the expansion this week after five weeks of screening, and the number of theaters increased to 1200. However, because the style of the work is too dark and brutal, the overall box office performance failed to ignite the market. Nevertheless, the cumulative box office has exceeded 30 million, and the follow-up trend depends on Sony's classic college public relations.
Besides lanli, Sisyphus film's first production was a success. The double success of word-of-mouth and box office is undoubtedly a positive signal.
Sisyphus pictures, once doubted as "the ticket player of the rich second generation", is showing its fangs step by step. From the special topic of "the new Yorker", we can see that Hollywood is not ignorant; So does that mean Hollywood is ready for a new player?
