As one of the seven major Hollywood film companies, Eleven Studio's annual film plan is also very eye-catching. Apart from other things, the excellent works produced by Pixar and the works that Evan Bell participated in each year, It is the first choice that the entire film market must pay enough attention to.

Before Christmas last year, Eleven Studio took the lead in announcing the filming plan for the first half of 2010. In February, "Shutter Island" will be the first to land in the North American market; in April, "Kai Bian Wang", which subverts the heroic image, will debut; Toy Story 3 in June and Inception in July.

This still continues the tradition of studio Eleven that pays attention to quality and not weight. Every year, the number of film works is controlled to be less than ten, but the excellent works continue to make Eleven Studios both in terms of box office and word of mouth.

"Shutter Island", which debuted on February 19th, is a collaboration between Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese again, with an investment of $80 million and a collection of Michelle Williams , Ben Kingsley, Mark Ruffalo and other outstanding actors. This story is based on the novel of the same name by American novelist Dennis Lehane, set in the early days of the Cold War, and tells the story of a suspenseful thriller situation caused by a psychological split of personality.

In fact, "Shutter Island" was taken over by Paramount in the preparation stage. Brad Gray once hoped to be directed and starred by Evan Bell. This script was very good and successfully moved Evan Bell, but at that time Evan Bell had no time to spare to shoot "Juno." In desperation, it can only be missed. Then the script came to Martin Scorsese, and he became very interested. and expressed willingness to take over.

At that time, Leonardo DiCaprio had just relied on "Blood Will Come" to realize his dream of becoming an Oscar winner. He originally wanted to give himself a long vacation to rest, but thanks to Martin Scorsese's call, Lai Leonardo DiCaprio took the script without hesitation.

The fourth collaboration between Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, Paramount is naturally unwilling to miss it, but Paramount expressed the hope that this work will be produced to impact the 82nd The best picture of this year's Oscars, Paramount, now in full recovery, desperately needs to make some progress on the Oscars, but this idea has caused Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio to two. personal resentment.

Leonardo DiCaprio insists. If the idea of ​​Oscar statuettes is all about in the production stage, then the bad ending of "Body of Lies" is the future of "Shutter Island" - it will sink into the sea. It can be seen that Leonardo DiCaprio has completely accepted Evan Bell's ideas, and his requirements for works have become more and more stringent.

Especially facing the severe test of the writers' strike at the time, it was difficult for Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese and Paramount to stand on the same front to discuss issues. After some entanglements, Thomas Lansing finally came forward and won the adaptation rights of "Shutter Island". The entire production was brought to Studio Eleven and handed over to Martin Scorsese to work from scratch.

This was how the ultimate "Shutter Island" was born.

In February, because of the Winter Olympics, the spring movie market, which had been deserted, was even more lonely. "Shutter Island" officially landed in 3,500 theaters in North America. From this theater arrangement, it can be seen that the eleventh issue showed the film. With strong confidence, he finally won a comprehensive media score of 67 points. Seventy-one percent of the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes, all the praise is concentrated on Leonardo DiCaprio's outstanding acting skills, the media generally believe that Leonardo after Evan Bell's polishing - DiCaprio, now his acting skills have become more mellow, and the title of the successor of "Robert De Niro" is now truly shining.

"The nightmarish dark tone of violent blood spray dominates the whole film. The mystery and pleasure that seems to hollow out the audience's brain are slowly rendered between the lines of the language of the camera with strong sensory stimulation", "It is by no means the best Scorsese Good work. But it's an excellent psychological masterpiece that his directing skills rarely freed from Oscar grudges", "DiCaprio's acting is very convincing, especially after the balance between the real and the virtual is out of control. , DiCaprio's performance saved the chaotic list and became the most dazzling presence in the entire movie"...

Mainstream media such as "Los Angeles Times" and "Vanity Fair" have given the highest scores and praises. Similarly, "The New York Times", "Variety" and other authoritative organizations have given a zero-point judgment. Such polarized controversial remarks, It is bound to further stimulate the growth of the box office, but the prospect of the work itself in the awards season is relatively vague.

Under such circumstances, the media generally predicted that the "Shutter Island" with a first-run box office of 25 million yuan caused a huge wave in the film market in February. The single-house box office of 13,500 US dollars eventually exploded. The opening weekend box office of 47 million US dollars has created a good result of the fourth place in the North American film history's premiere box office in February! At the same time, it also refreshed the personal highest premiere records of Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, which made people in the industry who underestimated the box office potential of the film exclaimed.

The outstanding box office performance of the premiere allowed "Shutter Island" to see the dawn of the North American box office breaking 100 million. At the same time, Leonardo DiCaprio's hope of being nominated for the Oscar winner again after two years was suddenly ignited. I have to say that this way The result is really surprising.

A worrying February with theater attendance, under the oppression of "Shutter Island", the box office collective of three premieres "Valentine," "Wolfman," "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" that performed well in the previous week A big plunge, with a drop of more than 60%, of which the box office drop of "Valentine's Day" has reached 70%, and the box office figures are miserable. In the off-season, "Shutter Island", a controversial and topical work with a reputation and a star, easily occupied the main passenger flow on the big screen, creating a good box office and winning a more favorable position.

Afterwards, "Shutter Island" performed very well at the box office, with a drop of only 40% in the next week, and completed the North American box office championship with a weekend box office of 28 million US dollars! Not only has it become the first work in the post-"Avatar" era to win the title since 2010, but the cumulative box office has jumped to 95 million US dollars in one go, breaking 100 million is no doubt, which also makes the "confinement". "Island", which had been extinguished for the awards season, has been rekindled. Of course, it's only February, and things are still early.

Due to the excellent word of mouth and the lack of strong enough competitors in the spring season, the box office decline of "Shutter Island" has always maintained a very good position. The box office of "Island" still maintained a steady upward trend after it crossed the threshold of 100 million in 16 days of release. It was released in the last week of July, and finally the cumulative box office reached 170 million US dollars. Impress everyone.

In fact, before the release of "Shutter Island", professionals estimated that the North American box office of this work should land around 90 million US dollars. Compared with the book cost of 80 million US dollars, the final profit still depends on overseas box office and overseas box office. DVD release to complete. But to everyone's surprise, the North American box office of "Shutter Island" not only exceeded 100 million, but also moved forward to 170 million, which is definitely a figure that makes everyone look at it.

Compared with the North American box office, the overseas box office of "Shutter Island" is obviously much better, which is what the professionals expected. After all, Leonardo DiCaprio's name is still very popular in the overseas market. The appeal, coupled with Martin Scorsese's "Best Director Oscar" title, the appeal of overseas markets is obviously much greater than that of North America.

Among the 59 overseas countries and regions, the French region successfully won the box office, contributing 38 million US dollars, making it the top box office in overseas countries and regions, followed by the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, and Spain. In the end, after the work won an overseas box office champion and a three-week overseas box office runner-up, the overseas market has won a total of 210 million US dollars at the box office, which is amazing.

As a result, the global box office of "Shutter Island" has reached 380 million US dollars Although it did not become the first work in 2010 to exceed 400 million in the global box office, such box office results are still It was far higher than expected, which made people admire Eleven Studio's film selection vision again.

Of course, "Shutter Island" can't compare to the "Ice Age" series and "High School Musical" series that have made a splash in the spring of the past few years, but the work itself is a dark and complex psychological film, and even many people After watching it, they all said that they didn't understand it. They had to enter the theater again, enter the theater many times, and analyze it before and after. This is a typical Cult film, and it is the same as "Mulholland Drive", "Deadly Identity" and other works, and "Shutter Island" still created a good result of 170 million in North America and 380 million in the world , can definitely be called "hard-won".

However, Eleven Studio has always had its own set of Cult films, which is also the foundation of Evan Bell's career. "Shutter Island" is not the most bizarre work in the list of Eleven Studio's works. Not to mention the display of the works released, the "Kai Bian Wang" released by Eleven Studio in April is even more representative of Cult films. This work can be said to be a subversion of the comic hero movies that are currently popular all over the world. That's enough personality!
