The Greatest Showman - Chapter 287

[Two hundred and eighty-four small profits]

The outstanding performance of “Buried Alive” is no longer needed. In the fifteenth week of its release, when the number of screening venues exceeded 1,000 for the first time, the film received a weekend box office of 2.5 million and successfully returned to the North American weekend box office. Top 10 on the charts, which is commendable for any work, let alone an independent film that no one is paying attention to?

“Buried Alive” was screened in 1,200 theaters for another week, and then Focus Pictures gradually began to shrink the screen size.

It can be seen from this detail that the inherently deficient “Buried Alive” is subject to the cast lineup without gimmicks, the small-scale script structure, and the plot conflict of a complete one-man show. A box-office miracle like “Smart: Ghost Record”.

Still, does anyone care?

Focus Films cut venues step by step to ensure long-term screening of “Buried Alive”, which allowed the film to be released until the first week of April, and the screening period reached 24 weeks, which is comparable to commercial films.

At this moment, you can feel the profound influence of the film’s reputation, and the continuous stamina has been unanimously recognized by the audience.

In comparison, “Smart: Ghost Story 2” was only released for thirteen weeks, and “Chainsaw 3D” was released in a hurry after only five weeks.

In terms of box office performance, “Smart: Ghost Story 2” has achieved an excellent result of 84 million in the North American market, especially compared with the investment cost of less than 3 million, which makes Paramount satisfied; Saw Cry 3D’s mere 45 million North American box office is hard to be excited about. With a production cost of 20 million, this figure is a big disappointment. Lionsgate Pictures immediately announced the end of the series.

In contrast, “Buried Alive” made up for the lack of explosive power under effective venue control, but successfully brought the film’s staying power to the extreme.

In the end, the North American box office of “Buried Alive” lived up to expectations and crossed the threshold of 50 million and achieved an excellent result of 52 million!

This box office data even surpassed “Chainsaw 3D”!

It was a huge success both for the unknown cast members and for Focus Films!

At the same time, the IMDB score and theater score of “Buried Alive” were finally released.

The theater score was finally maintained at the “A-” position, which is simply the highest praise for a thriller and horror film, and has almost reached the peak of word-of-mouth for this type of film, even if you send any praise. Yes, it’s even comparable to some popcorn commercials.

It is conceivable that in addition to the 52 million box office results in North America, after the release of the “Buried Alive” videotape, there is bound to be more box office potential to be tapped in the rental market and the online on-demand market.

On IMDB,

after more than 43,000 users voted, the score of “Buried Alive” dropped to 7.9 points, just a thin line away from the threshold of 8 points. Unfortunately, no one was able to rank among the top 250 films. List, replicating the miracles of “The Shining” and “The Exorcist.”

However, compared to the 6.4 points of “Blair Witch” and the 6.3 points of “Spirit: Ghost Recording”, the reputation of “Buried Alive” among the audience has reached a new high. “The highest score since the “Supernatural Sixth Sense”, which was rated at 8.1, is the only thriller and horror movie with an IMDB score higher than 8 in the past ten years.

From media reviews to Rotten Tomatoes, from IMDB to theater scores, “Buried Alive” has truly become one of the best thriller films in the new century, which also makes people wonder: If Focus Pictures didn’t If the screening is held, but it will be released on a large scale in more than 2,000 venues according to the official route of thriller movies. Is there any chance that the North American box office of “Buried Alive” will exceed 100 million US dollars?

Truly a perfect replica of the miracle of “Smart: Ghost Recording”.

However, the 52 million North American box office is still worth celebrating. Focus Pictures has at least made a profit of more than 15 million. This is for Focus Pictures, which has been sticking to the front line of independent films all the year round. Truly a rare harvest.

What’s more, the ultimate purpose of Focus Pictures’ choice to lengthen the screening front is not the box office, but the awards season.

Such box office results are already a huge surprise.

In addition, under the matchmaking of Focus Pictures, the overseas distribution rights of “Buried Alive” found buyers one by one, making this Spanish-invested English work go to the world, with audiences in Europe, South America, Asia and other countries and regions. Meet, and it’s a juicy box-office result!

The overseas box office has reaped 65 million US dollars, and the outstanding performance has caused an uproar. This achievement even surpassed the box office data in North America, and people can clearly see the enthusiastic pursuit of overseas markets.

Among them, Spain has undoubtedly exploded with great enthusiasm, leading with a strong box office of 11 million US dollars, becoming the largest box office outside North America.

If it is said that because of Rodrigo Coster and the entire production team of Spanish origin, the Spanish market has ushered in an explosion; then it is a bit incredible that the Japanese market has become the second largest overseas ticket warehouse.

Although it is said that Japan has a long tradition of supporting horror films, this time, “Buried Alive” achieved a box office of 9 million US dollars in Japan, which really puzzled experts. There is no doubt that the Japanese market supports local films. In addition, they prefer Hollywood commercial popcorn movies, rather than “three-nothing” independent products such as “Buried Alive”.

The only explanation, is it because of… Renly Hall’s handsome effect?

While absurd, it’s not impossible.

In any case, in the final overseas market, the cumulative box office of the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia and Australia has exceeded 5 million US dollars, and the outstanding performance is amazing!

It was an incredible journey for a work that cost a mere $3 million to invest in.

Relying on the excellent box office in overseas markets, the global box office of “Buried Alive” exceeded 100 million, and achieved an amazing record of 117 million US dollars.

Under the circumstance that almost no one cares about it, when the publicity resources are infinitely close to zero, and in the absence of any publicity momentum, “Buried Alive” successfully completed the delicate feat of the dark horse, and even Focus Pictures has some feelings. Without thinking, my head is full of question marks:

This, in the end, is this achieved?

A “Buried Alive” successfully made a small profit for Focus Pictures, and also successfully brought director Rodrigo into the sight of Hollywood. It is conceivable that more works will extend an olive branch to Rodrigo in the future. There’s not even a shortage of commercial blockbusters; even if Rodrigo plans to prepare a new one himself, it will be a lot easier to find funding again.

There is no doubt that Rodrigo’s Hollywood road has been paved underfoot.

However, the real achievement of “Buried Alive” is to successfully bring Renly Hall into the public eye.

From the sudden emergence of “Pacific War”, to the topic effect of “Fast and Furious 5”, and finally to the emergence of “Buried Alive”, Renly’s outstanding performance has undoubtedly attracted the attention of the entire Hollywood.

Hollywood has never lacked fresh blood, but Hollywood has always lacked fresh blood – the lack of superstars who can detonate the entire market.

After Toronto, the topic of “Generation Y” has been mentioned again, and this time it has sparked heated discussions in countless mainstream American media. Compared with the mainstay baby boomers and the gradually established Generation X, Generation Y is on the Internet. The impact of the times seems to be more obvious – the replacement is faster, but there are only a handful of people who can really gain a firm foothold.

From Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Orlando Bloom, Josh Hartnett, Ashton Kutcher, Shia LaBeouf, and Henry – Henry-Cavill, Bne-Foster…

Almost every year, a group of new stars emerge, but unfortunately, they are either short-lived and immediately submerged in the torrent of Hollywood; or the development space is limited because of their appearance, and it is difficult to expand the choice of roles; or acting is difficult. Satisfaction can only be temporarily trapped in the image of the vase. These Y-generation actors have never been able to form a climate, let alone assume the role of pillars in the replacement.

This year, actors such as James Franco, Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, Jesse Eisenberg, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt have all delivered excellent answers, and the future can be expected.

But how long will their achievements last?

Can it go even higher?

All this is unknown.

Now, Renly is here.

As an actor who has entered the public eye as an Emmy Award star, Renly’s acting skills are beyond doubt; at present, “Pacific War” and “Buried Alive” are two different performance styles, which seem to indicate that he can Digest more different roles; at the same time, Renly also took on the filming of “Fast and Furious 5”, a commercial film to test the water, and the future commercial value is also worth looking forward to…

This immediately made all the media excited , UU reading www.sonicmtl.com Could it be that the mainstay of “Generation Y” really appeared?

In the latest issue of People magazine, Renly was included in the list of ten Gen Y actors with superstar potential.

The one-sentence comment is succinct and clear, “Will he be the next Tom Hanks?”

Among the many Hollywood superstars, the actor who can have both box office and awards, Tom Hanks should be the top spot, even if it is May Lil – Streep is resigned, which is also an important reason why Tom’s influence in Hollywood is unsurpassed.

Just a year ago, the media described Shia LaBeouf as the next Tom Hanks, and now it’s Renly’s turn.

So how long will it last this time?

With all the expectations, what kind of answer will Renly hand over?

Compared with the hustle and bustle and uproar in North America, Renly, who came to Rio de Janeiro to start filming after the screening, was in full swing and was so busy that he had no time to pay attention to the news trends in the United States.

There is no room for negligence in the shooting of action movies, not to mention, there is also a Vin Diesel staring at the side.
