A year ago, the 200 million box office results of "drunken folk" in North America have been talked about by people. Even Lan Li, who created such a good performance with such a theme, is also an incredible feat, which is worthy of the whole film industry. In the following 2014, Hollywood's major film companies can clearly feel the far-reaching impact of this work.
However, if the "drunken folk" score of 200 million in North America is nine out of ten points, then the box office of "pop drummer" in North America will reach 188 million, and the astonishing level will be 12 points. The appalling level will make the whole North America enter the worship mode one after another. Even for lanli, such a feat is worth going down in history, It is even a breakthrough to subvert the fixed concept of the whole industry.
Unlike other highly acclaimed independent works, "pop drummer" is limited by its own theme and type. It is not the style favored by the market, and faces many difficulties from point to expansion. Sony classic's worries are not groundless, but more accurate summary of professionals in the industry; However, the development curve of the film after it was officially launched fell beyond everyone's eyes, and eventually created an incomprehensible myth.
Can't explain! Can't copy!
Even Harvey Weinstein, an old fox who knows the way of market and people's heart, can't find a reasonable explanation. He tries to shift the reason behind the scenes to the "malicious speculation" of Langley again. However, such a statement may fool those black men, but it can't move the experienced college judges. If he's not careful, Harvey may burn himself, Only then did he give up his intention to promote such rumors.
Maybe there is an explanation for things, the only one that seems reasonable
Langley hall.
But obviously, this is not the answer Harvey expected.
After the "pop drummer" has shown incredible vitality in the North American market, overseas markets have also attracted attention. In fact, the international market recognition of thriller movies is still above expectations.
As early as Sisyphus announced that it would cooperate with Sony classic to release "pop drummer", many distributors in overseas markets have extended their olive branches one after another. Led by the major European markets such as France, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom, the major distributors have come to seek cooperation, relying only on the Title of lanli, They are willing to generously buy the film distribution rights, believing that this is a business that will not lose money.
The overseas box office performance of "drunken ballad" is not outstanding, because the work focuses on the ballad era, the nostalgia complex throughout and the details based on it. It is very "American", and its appeal to overseas audiences is very limited. Finally, the overseas box office is 70 million, which is excellent compared with the independent works in the award season, But compared with the adverse results of North America, the gap is particularly obvious.
Of course, "pop drummers" also need to face the same difficulties - jazz band is not a bubble gum style popular culture, the acceptance of overseas audiences is undoubtedly a challenge.
However, the advantage of "pop drummer" is that it's a thriller work full of passion and blood, with fast-paced and high stimulating film viewing effect, which is easier for the general public to adapt to - the thriller, suspense, horror and bloody type of film has always firmly occupied a place in the box office market, and may not be able to copy the blockbuster effect of the family happy film, But it is also an important market force that can not be ignored.
As a result, the overseas market prospect of "pop drummer" is far more worth looking forward to than that of "drunken ballad", from a commercial point of view.
The upsurge triggered by the movie's entry into the screening stage is widely spread all over the world through the Internet. Among the voices of "online petition", there are many overseas audiences. They sincerely hope that "pop drummer" can be successfully shown in their own countries and regions, which also makes more overseas distribution companies see business opportunities. Sisyphus film has naturally become a fragrant steamed bun, Andre Hamilton's work phone has become a hot line.
Along with the "Night Walker" who fought in the award season in the same period, the number of overseas distributors who sent telegrams to inquire about the issue at least doubled.
Although it's good to enjoy the cool under the big tree, who would have thought that Sisyphus film's first year was so successful.
One after another, the overseas market of "pop drummer" began to light up. One after another, it was like lighting up a skill book. Finally, 55 countries and regions introduced this work - so the data has surpassed the similar works of "Birdman", "theory of everything", "Fox Hunter" and so on, Second only to Weinstein's "imitation game", it is even comparable to many commercial films.
It's a big surprise for an award season work with a relatively narrow audience, especially one with a production cost of only 3 million. Sisyphus film's expectation is 25 countries and regions, but now it has more than doubled. Even if it's a "shock", it doesn't even need to calculate the North American box office bonus, Through overseas copyright, we have achieved more than ten times of profits and made a lot of profits.
Unexpectedly but reasonably, the French market has surpassed Langley's hometown and become the largest overseas ticket warehouse of "pop drummer" with the achievement of 37 million US dollars.
The French market, which has always attached great importance to artistic films and artistic creation, is second to none in the world for its inclusiveness in film types, styles and themes. At the same time, it is also well-known for its support and praise for excellent works, whether they are "pop drummers" or "drunken Ballads", French audience's support rate is high - "drunken ballad" is one of the top ten of "film manual" last year, which shows the popularity of the work.
It's not surprising that the "cracker drummer" has once again captured the heart of France.
Of course, the United Kingdom is still the home of blue Lee. As Martin Freeman joked, although Benedict conberbach's discussion is on the rise, he is not Langley hall after all. To be exact, no one can be Langley. The fundamental reason why Langley's achievements are incredible is that they can't be copied. In the whole circle of British film and drama, Langley's influence has reached a new height, with unprecedented depth and breadth.
This is closely related to lanli's aristocratic background - how Princess Diana won the people's love in those years, and now lanli is how to become the representative of the aristocracy, even better than others, which also won lanli a detached status and unique existence.
Benedict conberbach and Eddie Redman, who were born in this year's award season, are also of elite origin, with excellent family background and education experience. Many netizens have listed them in the scope of "nobility". They are talking about such a rare scene, but the British people hold different attitudes
Elites and nobles are two groups. Elites are not nobles.
In other words, there is only one lanli, the only one that can not be replaced.
There is no doubt that the British audience has shown great support for "pop drummer". However, in the face of the repeated impact of commercial works such as "hobbit 3" and "hunger Game 3", the box office data has been affected to a certain extent, and the final cumulative box office hit 34 million US dollars.
Of course, "imitation game" starring Benedict Cumberbatch and "theory of everything" starring Eddie Redman are also popular in Britain.
The former is the biography of Alan Turing, the father of modern computer, the British; The latter is the biography of the great contemporary physicist Stephen Hawking - the British people. Two biographical films about the great people in British history have a great appeal in the British Isles. They are far more attractive than the "pop drummer". What's more, neither of the two leading actors is a nobody.
The box office of "imitation game" in the UK is 29 million, while that of "theory of everything" in the UK is 31 million.
After horizontal comparison, it can be seen that the performance of "pop drummer" is incredible - although the leading edge has not reached the rolling point, it must be noted that the box office of "pop drummer" has exceeded 30 million in France and Britain, compared with "imitation game" and "theory of everything", There are only three overseas regions where "imitation game" has exceeded 10 million, while there is only one "theory of everything".
As the award season works, as the "aristocratic" actor starring works, as the award season for the first group of works, purely from the box office data, the "burst drummer" has obvious advantages. But... Who is comparing? After all, lanli's appeal is unmatched.
Apart from the United Kingdom and France, the box office data of Germany, Brazil, Spain, Argentina and Japan are decreasing gradually, forming seven regions where the overseas box office of "pop drummer" has exceeded 10 million US dollars. Among them, the excellent performance of Brazil and Argentina is really eye-catching, which can be called phenomenal, Once again, it makes people feel the super popularity of blue rite in South America, even vaguely comparable with Europe.
Just from the data, we can see that the overseas box office performance of the "pop drummer" is easy to finish the "drunken ballad", and the global influence has reached a higher level again. This is the result that everyone did not expect. Damien chazelei has become famous at one stroke, and this unknown new director is hot in an instant.
The overseas box office of "pop drummer" has soared and blazed all the way, from low-key debut to hot discussion, and then to all over the world. The cumulative number has also repeatedly created surprises, gradually breaking expectations step by step, 10 million! 30 million! Fifty million! Every breakthrough can bring countless cheers.
Then, carelessly, the "pop drummer" broke through 100 million and 150 million, and the overseas market also created its own miracle.
