In the first week of December, the North American Weekend Box Office ranked eighth, and the "Burst Drummer" turned out to grab the headlines of the social network!

Among the top 20 of the entire list, there are quite a few works currently being screened-highlighting the excitement of the awards season, but the screening venue is only in the single digits, but there is only one of the "Blasting Drummers". This work has the highest ranking above the weekend box office list, which also officially sends a signal:

In this year's awards season, the "burst drummer" bathed in a frenzy of praise is definitely a seed player that cannot be ignored.

In fact, the award season war has officially started, and it is limited to the works that are being released this week. In addition to the four works in the top ten of the weekend box office list, there is also the eleventh "Saint Vincent" and the No. "Dabbling in the Wilderness" at 16th, "Fox Hunter" at 17th, "Imitation Game" at 19th, and "Boyhood" at 48th.

"Boyhood", which is still on the list since its release in July, is another landscape.

From the above listed data, you can directly feel that this year’s awards season works have shown a different attitude from the past. The box office data has generally performed well. Before the nominations and awards of the major awards ceremonies were released, they had been widely sought after by the audience. The dilemma of high and low art films.

On the one hand, because this year’s works are lighter and more intimate, without the obscurity and esotericness of art works, they are more friendly to ordinary audiences; on the other hand, because the theme selection of the awards season works is more grounded and the resonance of ordinary audiences is deeper. , Naturally more willing to join in.

Of course, relatively speaking, professional film critics have expressed dissatisfaction. So far, only the two works of "Blasting Drummer" and "Boyhood" have a media review higher than 90 points, and the ratings of other popular works are "relative." On the low side, you can feel the professional film critics' dissatisfaction with the quality of works during the awards season.

For professionals, this should be a small year, lacking a heavyweight player; for ordinary audiences, this is a big year, and the box office performance of the main contestants is generally good. From the academy's point of view, this is a good thing. Just like last year's efforts to narrow the distance between young audiences, this year it will be able to arouse more repercussions among ordinary audiences, and will create more opportunities in terms of ratings and discussions.

Quietly, the war has begun-the battle for the actor.

Ben Affleck of "The Lost Lover", Eddie Redmayne of "The Theory of Everything", Renly Hall of "Burst Drummer", Michael-Keaton of "Birdman" , Jack Gyllenhaal of "Nightcrawler", Bill Murray of "Saint Vincent", Steve-Carell of "Fox Hunter", Benny of "Imitation Game" Dickett Cumberbatch, and Ella Coltrane of "Boyhood".

This is a complete coincidence! An absolute coincidence!

However, after the media inadvertently noticed this, all kinds of jokes appeared in an endless stream:

"Leggers, get in the car."

"The battle has started, and the first round is physical conflict."

"The alternates sat in line to eat fruit, the scene was a bit spectacular; then, the actresses said they watched the show."

"Could it be... the King of the Movie? It's the King of the Movie again?"

"Is this a new year or a new year? The leading group is gradually diverging. If you miss this ferry, the next step will be accelerated."

"List Title: The list of scholarships has been announced, but I am not on it. I am a little panicked."

The humorous jokes are just the icing on the cake. From the side, you can feel the attention of this year’s awards season. It is even known as the most competitive actor battle since the millennium. Of course, this title seems to appear once every three to five. Whether it is worthy of the name, only with the gradual deepening of the awards season can the answer be revealed.

?According to the usual practice in previous years, after entering the award season, the film market always lacks enough topics and gimmicks. This is also one of the reasons why the box office rules of the holiday stalls are always elusive. In the past few years, "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight" Movies such as "City of Light" and "The Hobbit" have occupied the main line of sight; but this year, the awards season works have completed a small counterattack, creating enough topics, which is also rare.

After the countless topics were created in the first week of the show, the expansion of "Burst Drummer" has also attracted more attention, and the appeal letterhead of the venue is urgently added, like snow flakes, from all sides of the North American continent-social networks and e-mail. The rush to come is expected; but the call on the petition website is completely beyond imagination.

"It is strongly demanded that Sony Classics speed up its expansion, and it is eagerly hoped to see the "Blasting Drummer" as soon as possible. This is really unfair to movie fans in small cities and remote areas.

I can understand that works like "Burst Drummer" may have a relatively narrow audience in the central region. If a movie chooses to be released here on a large scale, it may affect the box office performance; but even in the central region, there are still movies like me that like me. Fans who love movies but can't watch wonderful works for the first time, such as'Burst Drummer'. I sincerely request that Sony Classics can take into account the eager needs of niche fans, and arrange screenings in remote areas. It doesn't need too much, just a few venues. I am willing to drive to nearby cities to watch movies. This is not a problem.

Netizens who have experience similar to mine, please express your voice so that we can see this work starring Lanly Hall as soon as possible. "

The Internet era provides a voice platform where anyone can make any voice—whether it can be heard by the whole world is another matter. This also makes countless "petitions" appear on the Internet, and even some interesting ones. Case.

A sixteen-year-old boy posted a tweet on Twitter, and Aite went to Wendy's official account and asked him how much reposting amount he needed to get a year of free fried chicken nuggets; The official account replied humorously, "18 million."

Then the news gradually spread, and this seemingly naive but rather interesting proposal became known to more and more people. All netizens began to help the teenager on Twitter. Later, the amount of reposting of this tweet was not able to reach one. Eighteen million, but easily broke the Guinness World Record for the amount of forwarding created by Allen De Janis at the Oscars ceremony at the beginning of this year and a series of self-portraits of the actors. This also successfully won a young man. Free fried chicken nuggets of the year.

In fact, this boy is not trying to get his reputation. Before he got the free fried chicken nuggets, a viral spread was formed on Twitter. In order to achieve his goal, the boy had set up a website to sell T-shirts through the website, and All income was donated to the charity foundation of the children's foster care organization; later Wendy Restaurant also donated 100,000 US dollars to the adoption foundation, expressing their warm and kindness.

In the Internet age, everything has become possible, and now, the application for "Petition for Expansion of Burst Drummer" has also appeared.

In the beginning, the petition website produced countless applications every day on average, but rarely received support; moreover, most netizens were not keen on it, because “the movie will be released sooner or later, but only a week or two weeks later, so why bother to petition to waste resources? "That’s why the petition did not get too much attention.

In the second week of December, Sony Classic slightly increased its spot-screening venues, expanding from six to twelve, but still maintained the rhythm of small-scale spot-screening.

Unexpectedly, in just two weeks, this petition also spread like a virus on social networks. More and more netizens joined the ranks of the petition. The petition has grown from no one to 50,000 applicants, which only cost Five days; then the rate of increase has slowed down slightly, but after two weeks, it has risen to 70,000 people!

This is undoubtedly the first time for a film that will soon enter the stage of full release, and people can't help but start thinking:

Is this entertaining to death-joining in the fun is getting more and more fun, or is it a brand new stage of Renli's influence?

Three weeks after the "Burst Drummer" was officially screened, the number of petitioners strongly exceeded 100,000-the number growth curve suddenly began to steepen again, and the growth rate increased significantly. Sony Classic clearly felt this craze, UU reading www. uukanshu.com had to express its official position:

"'Burst Drummer' will enter a large-scale screening stage on January 2. Thank you fans and audiences for their support."

It may be an exaggeration to say that history is being made; but it must be admitted that this is the first time in history that a movie fan’s petition has changed the film company’s distribution strategy.

When the official announcement of Sony Classic was officially released, the whole network cheered, creating the illusion of a nationwide craze, which made people unable to tell how much is a bubble and how much is true. It just feels that the whole world is surrounded by a wave of heat. I couldn't help but revel together, but there was a kind of confusion deep in my heart:

What are they partying? Is "Burst Drummer" really worthy of such treatment? This...is it too ridiculous?

At least in terms of box office numbers, this is not outrageous. During the three weeks of the screening stage, the "Burst Drummer" demonstrated an absolutely strong state with actual performance.

In the second week, twelve theaters, the box office of a single venue was 156,000 US dollars, the box office of the weekend was 1.9 million, and it ranked tenth in the North American weekend box office rankings.

In the third week, 25 theaters, a single box office of 78,000 US dollars, a weekend box office of 1.95 million, and the 13th in the North American weekend box office rankings.

By the way, this weekend’s box office champion is the grand premiere of "The Hobbit 3", in addition to the two large-scale premieres of "Museum Night 3" and "Annie: Pocahontas", Christmas The fierce competition during the festival is clearly visible, but the "burst drummer" still maintains a strong state.

During the screening stage, the excellent performance of "Burst Drummer" was so good that it was stably output for three consecutive weeks, and the weekend box office data was exceptionally amazing, maintaining a small increase in the development curve for three consecutive weeks. This is the number of online petitioners steadily. The reason for the rise, Sony Classics can also feel this craze.
