One hundred and ninety-eight thousand dollars.

This is the box office performance of the single theater screening of "Drunken Country Folk" in the second week, which easily surpassed the box office results of works such as "The Master", "Moonrise Kingdom", and "Dream Girl", ranking third in the box office data of film history.

Now, on the box office list of a single museum in North American film history, the rankings of live-action movies are:

Champion, "Drunken Country Ballad", two hundred thousand and six thousand dollars, first week.

Runner-up, "Red State", $200,000 and 4,000, first week.

Third place, "Drunken Country Ballad," $190,080,000, the following week.

The Imperial Army, "The Master", 147,000 dollars, the first week.

Just by browsing the entire historical data list, you can clearly feel the earth-shattering heat wave created by "Drunken Country Ballads" during the screening, even if it is placed in a century of history, it is rare to see, from the discussion to the frenzy of movie-watching, this work is deservedly creating its own history!

From four theaters in the first week to eight theaters in the second week, although the number of theaters doubled, the movie-going boom suffered little or no loss, and the box office figures for individual theaters only fell slightly to a negligible level, clearly showing the popularity of the work throughout North America.

The data of the "red states" can be compared horizontally.

After setting a record for screenings in the first week, the "Red State" added one venue the following week, and a total of two venues were further screened, and the box office of a single theater quickly fell back to $100,000 and 2,000, directly halved, and the exact decline was 49.8%.

Now, "Drunken Country Ballads" has also doubled the number of screening venues, but the decline is only 3.8 percent!

"This is the 'gravity' of art cinema!"

On the social networking platform, netizens ridiculed that although there are some problems with logical thinking - "Gravity" is not a pure commercial movie, but the overall meaning is still comprehensible - now "Drunken Country Ballad" is creating a feat of "gravity", working together to rewrite the historical record of North American box office data A blockbuster, and more importantly, the discussion of "Drunken Country Ballad" is almost comparable to "Gravity".

And who can miss it?

Even ordinary movie fans who have no interest in "drunken country ballads" can't help but start discussing at this time, "Is this work really that good? How does it compare to 'gravity'? So many people can't wait to walk into the cinema for the first time, is it to join in the fun? Or is it really good-looking?"

At least, according to the feedback from social networking platforms, the praise of "Drunken Country Folk" has reached a higher level - just like the situation expected by Sony Classics, they hope that veteran fans, professional fans, and avid fans can send positive reviews after watching the movie, and build momentum for the promotion of the movie, which is also the fundamental purpose of the screening.

"Without further ado, I just ordered the soundtrack of the movie, and I need a little bit of my own wandering time. ”

"God, I can't believe what I'm about to say, but ...... I love this movie! madly!"

"I want to fly to New York right now, sit in one of the kerosene lamp bars in Greenwich Village, order a beer and enjoy the night. ”

"Who else could be more attractive than Ranley Hall?

"A little curious: Is the 'Don Quixote' album the voice of Levian Davis?"

"Masterpiece!Coen Brothers' best career! Lanley-Hall's best career!"

"What are you waiting for? Buy tickets now! Watch now! This is the moment to show that you are 'different', because this movie is destined not to be liked by the public, and the failures, loneliness, and confusion it tells can only be truly understood by those of us who are declining!"

"To tell a joke: someone just asked how much 'Drunken Country Ballad' should be scored. This is a work that cannot be scored, it is not perfect, but it surpasses perfection, it truly tells the struggle and confusion of the artist, and there is a scarred soul behind those great arts! ”

"Love it!love it!love it!That's all!Best of the year!"

……

Most of the comments came from the social media platforms of Los Angeles residents, and after watching the screening, the bustling and disturbing comments began to flood the screen strongly, and immediately joined the discussion - but more veteran fans did not rush to social networks, but reminisced.

"Drunken Country Ballad" is a very, very special film, it is a personal memory that belongs to the Coen brothers, and it is also a personal memory that belongs to Lan Li. Now after watching it, the audience has also evolved the film into their own memories, looking for their own stories in those fragments of images.

There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people, and this sentence is obviously very appropriate for "drunken country ballads".

From $200,060,000 to $198,000 for a single museum, whether it is with the help of the wave of "gravity" or the popularity of Lan Li, the popularity of "Drunken Country Ballads" during the screening is undoubted, and Los Angeles and New York have taken the lead in feeling this trend, and other cities are becoming more and more impatient.

In the third week of December, "The Hobbit 2" landed as the box office champion in North America with a weekend box office figure of $74 million!

Unfortunately, this result is still lower than expected. Not only did it fail to break 100 million in the opening weekend, but even the prediction of 80 million was slightly worse, which once again confirmed the critics' point of view: the original story is really too weak, but it has to be expanded into a trilogy, which is not enough to support the entire structure, and it is inevitably disappointing - compared to the "Lord of the Rings" series, the media comprehensive evaluation of "The Hobbit 2" is only 66 points.

Warner Bros. must step up!

The "Harry Potter" series is over, the "Hobbit" series has not met expectations, and it is also coming to an end, and in order to maintain competitiveness, they have to speed up the layout. Barry Meyer was trying to slow down the development of the DC Universe before, so what about Kevin Tsujihara now?

Everyone only sees that the development of the DC universe is too eager for quick success, but ignores the real situation behind the superficial phenomenon, even Lan Li is no exception. In the previous life, Lan Li was just an ordinary spectator, he could see the phenomenon, but he could not understand the essence, even if he could convince Barry Meyer to slow down a little, Barry Meyer was not necessarily able to convince the entire shareholders' meeting.

After all, the trajectory of some history cannot be changed.

In addition to "The Hobbit 2", "American Hustle" also achieved gratifying results in the screening stage, with six theaters screened in a single theater box office of up to 123,000 US dollars, undoubtedly becoming the eighth live-action film in film history to break the 100,000 threshold at the single-theater box office, and the all-star lineup also ensured the hot topic of this year's awards season early.

The screening results of "Big Dreamer" lack surprises but are also steady, fifteen theaters are screened, and the box office of a single theater is 27,000 US dollars, which is basically at the same level as "Buried Alive" and "Love Crazy", and the overall momentum is still slightly inferior, and the public relations strategy of the distribution company Disney should be focused on the impact of each single item.

At the beginning, Sandra Bullock missed "gravity" for this work, and her exceptional partnership with Tom Hanks also made "Big Dreamers" have a lot of popularity during the awards season, but Tom's highlight this year should be "Captain Phillips", so I don't know how the distribution company arranged.

Both of these works ranked among the top 20 of the North American weekend box office charts, but "Drunken Country Folk" still went one step further, with a weekend box office of $1.58 million, ranking among the top 10 on the list in one go, and will occupy the tenth place.

But the art films screened during the awards season still can't be compared with commercial films after all, and Sony Classics has no idea of competing for the box office at all, and all the thoughts are focused on the expansion strategy.

In the third week of screenings, Sony Classics still did not expand its screenings, but expanded the number of theaters to fifteen.

Among them, Los Angeles has added three, and four cities - Seattle, San Francisco, Boston and Philadelphia - each added a screening theater to orderly launch screenings on both sides of the coast.

This strategy sparked complaints from other cities, but ensured that the film's positive word-of-mouth could be promoted and fermented throughout North America step by step, spreading like ripples, circle by circle, and always maintaining composure and composure before the waves came.

Facts have also proved the correctness of Sony's classic expansion strategy!

In the third week, the box office of the single theater was still maintained at 150,000, once again exceeding the data of the "master" and ranking fourth in the film history. Such a feat that not even a Disney cartoon has been able to achieve.

In the fourth week, the screening venues finally took a slight step, and the number of screening venues reached 45 in 20 cities in North America, and the box office of a single theater was instantly reduced by more than half, falling back to about 72,000 US dollars, but such data can still rank among the top 20 on the film history list, and the excellent results of the screening are needless to say.

In just four weeks, the cumulative box office of "Drunken Country Ballads" will exceed 10 million US dollars!

Ten million dollars, what does that mean exactly?

At the same time, the production cost of the film is 11 million US dollars, and it has not yet entered the full release and award season publicity link, which has basically reached the cost line, which means that Sony Classics can carry out college public relations without any scruples.

Such an achievement, such a feat, such a momentum, is indeed comparable to "gravity"!
