Chapter 528： bowl full

With an investment of $7 million, the box office achievement of "Deadly Identity" with a cumulative box office of $57 million in three weeks of release is impressive enough. What's more, this achievement was created under the ravages of the two box office giants "Men 2," "The Matrix 2: Reloaded", which made countless media fall through the glasses. Eleven Studio this time It can definitely be said that the investment is worth the price of the ticket. Evan Bell's debut as a producer has handed over a good answer.

However, when "Deadly Identity" was released in the fourth week, the media focused on "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" to create a box office figure of 121 million US dollars, but some reporters sensitively discovered that The note marked after "Fatal Identity" is actually in green font.

what does that mean? This means that the box office of "Deadly Identity" has actually recovered after falling for two consecutive weeks!

This situation was felt by the media when "Sniper Phone Booth" was released. At that time, Evan Bell's single "Tianguang" and album "Two" came out, which strongly boosted the movie's box office momentum and created a box office miracle that exceeded the threshold of 200 million. This time, "Deadly Identity" once again showed such a strange box office trend curve, which made the media amazed again and again. Even five exclamation marks are not enough to describe the shock in their hearts.

Fifteen million dollars, this is the fourth week of "Deadly Identity"'s box office performance, an increase of more than 50%, and the cumulative box office has reached 74 million US dollars. Seventy-four million, what does it mean? It means that Eleven Studio's seven million investment has achieved a tenfold return: of course, this is just a simple cost-to-box office ratio, without any dividend ratio. Calculation. This made the media think of last year's box office dark horse "My Big Greek Wedding". The film earned $200 million at the box office with an investment of five million, which is enviable.

In the North American box office rankings, "The Matrix 2: Reloaded", "Daddy's Rangers", and "Men 2" ranked the top three. The gap between the runner-up and the third runner-up was only 900,000 US dollars. The gap is really amazing. . And "Deadly Identity, ... Although it dropped one place again and ranked fourth, the box office figures are still impressive. You know, this is a thriller and suspense movie, and the audience is definitely not a wide-ranging suspense movie. Last year's miracle "My Big Greek Wedding" is a light comedy.

The next week, "Fake Gods," starring Jin Yi Kelly, was released and won the box office with a strong box office of 100 million US dollars. The summer carnival has officially arrived. "Men 2, followed by "Deadly Identity" once again made a speechless $12 million at the box office, and the comedy "The Secret Agent's Family", which occupied the fifth position, could only be ranked sixth.

Next is "Finding Nemo," followed by "Speed ​​and Love 2" and then "Hulk" and "Thunderbolt 2" After entering the summer season, blockbuster one after another, to make people overwhelmed. Speed ​​comes on the big screen. The media has no time to focus on other movies, they can only passively keep reporting new movies every week, and then keep pushing their attention as the movies are released.

But the tenacity of "Deadly Identity" exceeded all expectations. "Death Illusion"

The experience has proved that it is difficult for cult films with high IQ to win a large-scale market, but "fatal identity" is obviously not that high and low. Although high IQ, the audience who understands obviously increases: the box office curve of "adapted script" also proves that Now, although the box office figures of the script will create great results, the theme itself is still limited, but a good script of "deadly identity" is reflected in the countless surprises it brings, rather than a box-type self-circulation. Although thriller and suspense movies do not have a wide audience, they can attract more and more ordinary audiences to enter the cinema to find thorns.

Eight million ranking sixth: seven million, ranked sixth: five million ranking ninth: four million, ranking tenth. "Fatal Identity" has been in the top ten of the North American movie box office rankings, and it has been around for a full four weeks, adding up to nine weeks. Before the release of "Fatal Identity", the most daring film critic did not Dare to predict so.

But the truth is, Evan Bell brought another surprise.

Including "Ice Age", the six films currently released by Evan Bell are all works that bring surprises. Their vigorous vitality at the box office may not be as obvious as the film reputation, but it is always It can break the expectations of reporters, break the predictions of professionals, and then bloom with the most beautiful huāru.

"Deadly Identities" stayed in the top ten for nine weeks, racking up $130 million at the box office! Breaking the 100 million threshold, the box office of "Deadly Identity" actually exceeded 100 million! This result is enough to make people stunned. And when "Deadly Identity" went offline, its final cumulative box office was $110 million.

With an investment of 7 million, in exchange for a box office of 110 million US dollars, the profit margin is 157%. This is a typical small for a big, dark horse at the box office! Although it's not as exaggerated as last year's "My Big Greek Wedding" exchanged 5 million for 200 million US dollars, and it is not as bold as "Sniper Phone Booth" which achieved more than 200 million US dollars at the box office, but this is Eleven Studio's first investment , is also Evan Bell's first film as a producer, and it can definitely be said to have made a lot of money!

Need more words of praise? unnecessary. Evan Bell is like the most dazzling star, rising over the United States.

First, the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and then the success of "Deadly Identity" brought the greatest impact to Evan Bell, not David Greenblatt officially mentioned Evan Bell's salary by a thousand There is still an endless stream of film companies and scripts that come to the door with five million dollars, which is a great thing for Opponent Eleven: Nor is it that Evan Bell temporarily broke into the top five on the Hollywood Power Rankings. IMDB's actor scoring system even squeezed into the top three at one point. It's the "Crash" cast that's advancing faster than the previous three months combined.

Before that, "Crash," produced by Eleven Studios, written by Paul Haggis and produced by Evan Bell, was foreign to Hollywood. Coupled with the fact that the film's investment is only seven million, it is not attractive to Hollywood actors.

So, after returning from the Berlin Film Festival, Paul Haggis started looking for actors in Los Angeles, with little success. Although Evan-Bell's current strong momentum is used as a gimmick, and many new actors are willing to participate in interviews, but as a producer Evan-Bell has no achievements, and as an actor, his popularity and momentum cannot cover up. Evan-Bell still remains It's a new fact. So, Paul-Haggis' search for actors in Los Angeles has not made much progress. Different from the "NCIS" "Crash" the actor's search process is like a snail crawling.

But now "Deadly Identity" has not only brought benefits to Eleven Studios, but also brought reputation. Especially combined with Evan Bell's previous reputation in small production films, in addition to "Ice Age", the other five Movies are all small productions, so Paul Haggis suddenly discovered that his mobile phone had become a hotline "crash" and overnight the actor was the focal point.

Before that, Paul Haggis was looking for potential newcomers at the Screen Actors Guild. After all, he only had a budget of seven million, so he couldn't afford to squander it. But for now, look at the cast list that's come to you: Sandra Bullock, Heath-Ledger, John Cusack, Matt-Churron,

Actors like Thandie Newton and Brandon Fisher are undoubtedly not the backbone of Hollywood. Among them are Don Cheadle, who won praise for "Drug Network" and "Eleven Arhats", as well as Don Cheadle who once worked in "Sniper Phone Booth" Among them is Forest Whitaker, who has worked with Evan Bell.

Maybe these actors are not the top actors who are widely known to the world, but they are definitely indispensable and important characters in each movie. Their figures can be easily seen in any movie, even as starring. At the same time, they are also the actors that Hollywood staff most want to meet. They are famous, powerful and experienced, but they are not big names. They put in their work and give the best performances with good looks.

Paul Haggis didn't dare to hope that he could sign all these actors, because he didn't sign, even Evan Bell didn't have so much funding Just like the filming of "Deadly Identity", Eleven Studio can spend so much money, but if it really invests such a large cost, it may not be worth it. "Crash" is also a low-budget independent film, Paul Haggis has a clear understanding. Therefore, Paul Haggis hopes that with the help of Evan Bell's name, these actors can reduce their prices to appear in "Crash", which is the best result.

Evan Bell's appeal to Hollywood actors? Maybe not yet in February, but after going through the Berlin Film Festival, refusing to attend the Oscars, and now, coupled with the experience of having just achieved his first success as a producer, Evan Bell does have some appeal. More importantly, some media suggested that Evan-Bell's eyesight in choosing works is admirable. At present, Evan-Bell's works have not failed, and this has become the most dazzling halo on Evan-Bell.

That being the case, what about "crash"? Will it be another insight into Evan Bell?

Paul Haggis found that the script "Crash" that no one wanted to read is now the Big Apple, and everyone wants to take a bite. So, Paul Haggis took the "Crash" script and started the process of visiting the actors.
