Everyone is avoiding the autumn and winter stalls for a reason.

Following the successive fiascos of "Hercules" and "Effects of Fire", there has been another disastrous work in North America. The frequency of defeats for three consecutive weeks is really overwhelming.

The "Devil Slayer", who invested 65 million US dollars, only earned 8 million during the premiere weekend, and can declare a loss of more than 50 million without waiting for subsequent screenings. Such a complete collapse was instantaneous. It once again awakened the memories of the "Hercules" two weeks ago.

The autumn and winter archives are veritable tombs of commercial blockbusters, and what enlightenment the success of "gravity" can bring will undoubtedly be a topic that the entire industry needs to study; and art films headed by "Zixiang Folk Songs" are on the rise. To shine, this is another topic waiting to be discussed.

Sony Classics felt the strong appeal from the market, so it further increased the screening venues of "Drunk Country Folk Songs" from 3,100 to 3,300. Such a risky move once again surprised the professionals in the industry. In a cold sweat, it's as if you are watching a Sony classic roller coaster.

But this is the Sony classic, "Go-Big-Or-Go-Home". They have always been like this for independent art films. The strategy of opening and closing also allows them every year. The performance of the awards season has become ups and downs, and it is precisely because of this that the past two years have gradually fallen into a decline.

The bystanders had a heart attack, and the Sony Classics themselves had a cold sweat.

This time, Sony Classic once again successfully gambled.

Despite the addition of the museum again, the market performance of "Drunk Country Folk Songs" still stabilized. In the end, with the box office data of 11,000 U.S. dollars for a single library, it won 36 million in three days on the weekend, which was not only easily defeated. A group of opponents won the championship again; and successfully pushed the film's cumulative box office past the 100 million threshold, temporarily settled at 141 million.

amazing! In addition to being amazing, what other interjections can express your inner thoughts? Now this work is unswervingly launching an impact towards 200 million.

and many more.

"What? Two hundred million?"

Even the veterans in the industry are already shocked. If "gravity" hits 700 million in North America, everyone is shocked; then "Drunk Country Folk Song" hits 200 million in North America, and the shock is 100 times! A hundred times! So that people in the industry can't help but start to doubt life.

Although the general box office measurement standard in the North American market has risen to 200 million, many commercial films cannot hit 200 million in North America. Now the "Drunk Country Folk Song" has reached such a high level. This is definitely a breakthrough that has shaken the entire industry. Even the "classic car" has not been able to accomplish such a feat!

The 200 million box office is incredible for an art film. A simple horizontal comparison can be made, taking the Oscar nominees for best film as an example.

Among the best picture nominees for the Oscars after the millennium, the North American box office has exceeded 200 million works including the "Lord of the Rings" series, "Avatar", "Weakness", "Flying House Tour", "Toy Story 3" , "Inception" and so on, a total of eight.

Among these eight works, "Weakness" in 2009 is the only independent art film.

Outside of this, the artwork that is closest to such a goal is "Lincoln" in 2012, with a North American box office of 184 million; in addition, "Chicago" and "Beautiful Mind" at the beginning of the century were both 170 million. After all, it has not been able to break through the 200 million shackles.

It is no exaggeration to say that the "weakness" is the only work that has reached such a height in the new century-200 million in North America, but it is an independent artistic attribute. Strictly speaking, "Weakness" is a biographical film, and it focuses on the No. 1 sports football in North America, which laid the foundation for creating a good box office record.

More importantly, even the high-profile award season works cannot reach such a high level, let alone those independent works of art that have been marginalized during the award season?

Now, "Drunk Country Folk Songs" has such qualifications!

Of course, strictly speaking, the "Drunk Country Folk Song" is also foul, and the Coen brothers and Lanly's partner are destined to win above the starting line; but such a work can hit the threshold of 200 million in North America, and it may even be completed. Unbelievably, the shock and excitement of the entire industry is not surprising.

200 million?

There is no need for too much language or more praise. Box office numbers are the best proof. Just needing this one may be enough to make the entire North American market look at "Drunk Country Folk Songs" with admiration, and more importantly, Lan Li -Hall treats each other differently-from "gravity" to "drunken country folk songs", is there anything that Lan Li can't accomplish?

Obviously not.

After that, "Drunk Country Folk Song" easily achieved three consecutive North American weekend box office championships. It was not until the emergence of the "Lego Movie" that was a dark horse that it ended its winning streak; nevertheless, the film's release cycle is still vast. It lasted vigorously until May, and it had been in theaters for 22 weeks with great stamina.

From the horror during the screening period to the full-scale outbreak during the release period, "Drunk Country Folk Song" has made a box office curve that all art movies dream of. In the end, the North American box office moved slowly and slowly over the 200 million threshold-Sony After the Oscars awards ceremony, the classics were re-added to expand the exhibition, just to hit 200 million, not only for the record, but also for the book to look more festive.

Two hundred and seven million US dollars.

Really passed the 200 million threshold, this is the total box office of "Drunk Country Folk Songs" in North America, and it became the fourth piece of Lan Li's career that exceeded 200 million at the box office!

Before you know it, the record is born! Compared with "gravity", "Drunk Country Folk Songs" is an even more incredible case.

After careful study, in addition to the excellent quality of the work itself and the shining star of the cast lineup, Sony’s classic distribution strategy still has reference research value, not only the point of the curve, but also the selection of the film festival after Cannes. These additional The factors have laid the foundation for the subsequent miracle.

It is hard to imagine that 200 million North America was born in this way. It was too unexpected and too sturdy. On the contrary, there was a sense of emptiness, and the sense of reality was still not solid.

But this is not all.

Previously, when "Drunk Country Folk Song" premiered in Cannes, mainstream European media was a fanatical pursuit. Obviously, the market potential of this work in Europe is broader and deeper than in North America. It may not be able to create box office miracles like North America, but art The steady growth of the theater chain is still worth looking forward to.

What's more, the names of the Coen brothers and Renly are also unimpeded in Europe.

However, Sony Classics has concentrated all its energy on the North American awards season. They need to turn corruption into magic to make a **** path; therefore, the overseas distribution rights of "Drunk Country Folk Songs" are all packaged and transferred to various parties. For local distributors in countries and regions, the subsequent release schedules are also somewhat uneven.

Nevertheless, "Drunk Country Folk Songs" is still officially released in 29 countries and regions around the world, which is really rare for art films.

As expected, the most outstanding overseas box offices of "Drunk Country Folk Songs" are in the UK, France and Germany. In addition, the box offices in Australia and New Zealand have also handed in good answers; but relatively speaking, the box office in South America is a bit unacceptable. Folk ballads are totally unworkable there, even for Lanly. Similarly, the Asian box office can only be said to be quite satisfactory, lacking surprises.

The British box office was 16 million.

The French box office was 13 million.

The German box office was 8 million.

This is the top three overseas box office of "Drunk Country Folk Songs".

If compared with commercial movies, it is naturally incomparable. Not to mention that it is comparable to the miraculous performance of "Gravity". Even if it is compared with the "Drunk Country Folk Song" itself, it is far inferior to the explosive reaction of North America; but if Compared with art movies horizontally, such data can be called the top among the top, absolutely can be called the annual phenomenon.

The main reason is that the box office market for European art films has been relatively stable. Audiences who like them are naturally willing to enter the cinema, and audiences who are not interested will not rush to follow suit. This has formed a huge gap with the North American market. The box office data of art films did not show a rocket-like explosion curve.

In the end, "Drunk Country Folk Songs" won a box office of 70 million US dollars overseas! Far exceeded expectations!

This box office result also proves from the side that art films themselves objectively exist in the box office market, but how to distribute and operate, and how to attract audiences, is a science. The simplest and rude is to invite Lan Li to have a strong appeal. Leading actors and actresses-but there is only one blue gift in the world; and a more effective way is to start with the distribution strategy ~ www.novelhall.com ~ to be more adaptable to market orientation and to adapt to contemporary changes.

In addition, "Drunk Country Folk Songs" pays attention to the folk songs in Greenwich Village. This is a typical work with American cultural temperament. It has also affected the overseas box office to a certain extent. Look at the box office in South America and Asia. A strong star lineup cannot make up for the shortcomings. We can only wait for the follow-up to tap more potential in the video tape market.

But on the whole, what should be the distribution strategy of art films? This is a topic that the entire industry needs to study.

As for "Drunk Country Folk Songs"?

With a production cost of 11 million U.S. dollars and a distribution cost of less than 4 million U.S. dollars, after sweeping 270 million U.S. dollars across the world, just like this!

Few people can notice that this is the best box office performance of the Coen brothers' career, even surpassing the Oscar-nominated work "Thunder of the Earth". At the beginning, this work could not find companies willing to invest. Even with the name of the Coen brothers as a guarantee, it took a lot of effort.

Now, is there any pre-development manager who can be sure that the next "Drunk Country Folk Song" is not lying in his mailbox?
