In the third week of January 2014, the North American weekend box office rankings were released!

"Drunk Country Folk Songs" reached the top strongly!

Even if people have secretly expected such a result, even if people are expecting such a result, when the box office data is really hot, everyone is completely stunned. They can't even make an exclamation, they can only stare dumbfounded. Focus on the stage of this scene.

How did this happen?

Last week, "Drunk Country Folk Songs" was screened in 350 theaters. The box office data of a single library fell to 22,000 US dollars. The downward trend is very obvious. However, industry experts have conducted various analyses. The trend is Normal, and even this trend proves the powerful market potential of "Zuixiang Folk Songs", but people can't imagine exactly: What is the so-called potential?

This week, "Drunk Country Folk Songs" was released in 3,100 theaters, and the box office data of the single theater was still as high as $18,000! Compared with the data of the previous week, the arc of decline is almost negligible, and one second gives people the illusion: Is this still the point-of-view phase of the first and second weeks? I can look at the data of the screening theaters again, and then I was completely stunned, really dislocated.

From 350 cinema chains to 3,100 cinema chains, the box office of a single library has hardly lost much data. What does this mean?

This means that the expansion effect in the central region far exceeds expectations; or, the potential of the art film market in the cross-strait region is far beyond imagination. Regardless of the former or the latter, this can be regarded as a major discovery, especially thanks to Sony's classic special screening method, it highlights this change and has become a key case in the entire movie market!

Imagine if “Fight Club”, “Muholland Road”, “Memories” and other unique and wonderful works could find their place in the art theater and successfully obtain excellent box office data, instead of sending them. Hope that the video tape market will shine, so how can film companies be unwilling to invest in producing these works? And how can David Fincher find investors willing to cooperate?

amazing!

Absolutely amazing!

Such a single box office, such an expansion curve is even comparable to a summer commercial film, and it is almost a miracle for an art film! The case of "Drunk Country Folk Songs" is undoubtedly special. It may never be copied, but it may also be copied. The only thing that is certain now is that this work is bound to cause more sights to be projected, just like the "classic car" in 2008.

In 2008, the famous old cowboy director Clint Eastwood directed and acted in a work, "Vintage Car". The old man even participated in the creation of the original soundtrack himself. It can be said that he put a lot of effort into this work. At that time, Clint reached the Oscar for best director for the second time with "Million Dollar Baby", but then he was questioned because of "Flag of Father" and "Letter from Iwo Jima"——

These two films examine the battle of Iwo Jima before the end of World War II from the perspectives of the United States and Japan respectively. Clint hopes to discuss the damage of the war from different standpoints of different countries, but it is obviously too ambitious, and the effect is far. Lower than expected, aroused a lot of criticism.

Although Warner Bros. promptly adopted emergency public relations methods, and finally won the Oscar nomination for Clint with the "Letter from Iwo Jima", after that, Clint's ideas and creativity have been challenged in many ways-and the Coen brothers There are many similarities in the preparation of "Drunk Country Folk Songs".

In 2008, Clint filmed two works, "Sudden Change of Children" and "Classic Cars". The former caused countless discussions because of Angelina Jolie's joining, but the latter was simply uninterested.

From the subject matter, content, method and style of the work, "Vintage Car" is not an academic work, not to mention Warner Bros., who is responsible for production and distribution. Even Clint himself does not pay much attention to it. There are rumors that he is going to quit the crew, and it has also spent a lot of experience with Steven Spielberg and others discussing the preparation of other works.

In fact, the word-of-mouth after the release of "Classic Cars" is very good. During the awards season, it won the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the Japan Film Academy Award, the French Caesar Award and the Italian Guardian Award; but again, Warner Bros. did not spend too much money. Think more about the release.

Unexpectedly, the film has completed the counterattack step by step in a calm manner. In the end, the North American box office reached 148 million, and the global box office reached 269 million. The production of the film The cost is only 33 million.

Although it was too late for the effort, and the "substitution suspicion" robbed all public relations resources, "Classic Car" did not get any nominations above the Oscars, but the excellent box office made this work become Clint's career. A very special work here.

Now, "Drunk Country Folk Songs" seems to be the same!

In the third week of January, "Drunk Country Folk Songs" had a weekend box office of 55.8 million. After being released for seven weeks, North America had a cumulative box office of US$90 million.

This is the best performance at the box office of the weekend since "The Hobbit 2" was released in the third week of December, with 55.8 million figures and 73,000 at the premiere weekend of "The Hobbit 2" Millions seem to be not far away.

This is absolutely heaven-defying!

Not to mention the 50 million weekend box office. In fact, before the film’s official release, all industry insiders, including Sony Classics, estimated the total North American box office value of "Drunk Country Folk Song" at 20 million US dollars. In the boom of the awards season, the cumulative box office may be able to hit 50 million.

Not an estimate, but an impact.

You can see the current state of art films just by using words.

It's not that insiders underestimated the Coen brothers and Lanly-Hall, but the box office curve of "Drunk Country Folk Songs" was really unexpected. Just like the works of "Juneo", "Little Sunshine Girl", and "Vintage Car", they are aliens outside the normal rules. They jumped out of the rules and created incredible miracles.

The "Drunk Country Folk Songs" really broke out an unimaginable frenzy! It is no exaggeration to say that the 55.8 million weekend box office data is placed in the four periods of autumn, holiday, winter and spring, which is definitely a well-deserved outstanding performance, and even entered the summer. Among the files is definitely a member that can't be ignored. Under the ingenious schedule, such data can also win the championship.

More importantly, the same is true for commercial films. What's more, is it an art film?

That kind of shock, that kind of astonishment, that kind of shock, words can't accurately describe the mood of the entire North American market, maybe vulgar words would be more appropriate.

According to the box office blowout method this week and the curve shown in the past six weeks, the total North American box office of "Drunk Country Folk Song" can be equal to 150 million, and even has the possibility of challenging a higher level-just look at it. The box office decline curve in the next few weeks is over. What else can I say? In addition to admiration and admiration!

For a work with an investment of only 11 million U.S. dollars, for an independent art film that has been a little uncomfortable even during the awards season, for a North American box office that can exceed 20 million, it will be a laugh. As far as works are concerned, the current achievements of "Drunk Country Folk Songs" are enough to make the entire industry cast envy.

Sony Classics has completed a huge profitable bet. More importantly, the distribution rights of the "Blasting Drummer" are also in their hands. Now other film companies can only stare at them with envy, jealousy and hatred.

According to rumors, the executives of Universal Pictures shocked. On the routine board of directors, someone jointly impeached Lang Meyer and he needed an explanation. Otherwise, Barry Meyer is his lesson.

But envy is envious, this is just an "accident" after all, just like "Juneo", "Little Sunshine", "Classic Car", the entire industry pays more attention to conventions-just like the successful evolution of "Iron Man" It has become the success of comic movies, and it is like a 3D movie frenzy triggered by "Avatar". If accidents cannot be turned into the norm, then the industry will never focus on "accidents."

So, can the accident of "Drunk Country Folk Songs" be replicated?

Relying on the top performance of the weekend's 50 million level, "Zuixiang Folk Song" easily defeated a lot of competitors and reached the top of the North American weekend box office rankings in the third week of January!

This week, "Zozhou Self-help Brothers" became a black horse, with a production cost of only 25 million. However, during the deserted period, it broke out with a premiere weekend box office of 41 million US dollars. , And the reputation is very good. If it weren't for the "Drunk Country Folk Songs", it would be easy to crown the champion.

"Robbery of the Nut Shop" has become an unexpected surprise work~www.novelhall.com~ Although the production cost is as high as 42 million, but in the absence of effective publicity, it gained 20 million US dollars during the premiere weekend; Word of mouth cannot be said to be excellent, but it has won a lot of praise from the audience, and the follow-up box office trend is optimistic.

The "triggering" has become a cannon fodder tragedy-sad foreboding never seems to be wrong. Only 15 million won at the premiere weekend, and the reputation is also a mess. Faced with a production cost of 60 million, it is already there. It is possible to announce the outcome of facing a loss in advance.

In this week's weekend box office rankings only ranked fifth.

The only thing to be thankful for is that "Hercules" is behind the "trigger". The latter ushered in a cliff-like decline of 61% in the week after the release. The cumulative box office for the two weeks after the release was only 14 million, which was even worse than the box office data during the screening of "Drunk Country Folk Songs".

I have to say that everyone is trying to avoid the autumn and winter stalls for a reason.

The performance of the North American box office market in the following week once again proved this point of view-another work Waterloo, a **** fiasco, truly interpreted the meaning of "horrible".
