The content of "Moonlight Panic" revolves around the story of Michael Myers, the protagonist who was only six years old at the time, who was sent to a mental hospital by his parents after killing his seventeen-year-old sister, and escaped fifteen years later to continue to kill.

Under Lei Weidong's desperate publicity, this small-scale C-grade film has received great attention, so it attracted a large number of audiences at the beginning of its release.

And after the release, it was well received, especially the protagonist Michael . Miles wore a mask, held a butcher's knife, and didn't say a word, just a murderous appearance, which was really chilling.

And the film is not like the usual use of bloody murder scenes to intimidate the audience like European and American horror movies. Instead, it focuses on the rendering of horror, suspense, and anger, and this invisible horror is actually even more terrifying.

The so-called unknown is the most terrifying, if people know his motive for committing the crime and know the purpose of his killing, they will not be so afraid, but will find a way to solve the matter. But now people don't know why he killed people at all, but they are chased by him and are desperate to die, so that kind of fear cannot be resolved.

In addition, after the release of this movie, the word of mouth is quite good. Immediately passed on to ten. Ten to hundred, hundreds of thousands, thousands of people, men and women who came to see this movie and were eager to be scared quickly lined up at the entrance of the theater.

On the first day of its release, "Moonlight Panic" grossed more than $1.91 million, and in three days of release in North America, "Moonlight Panic" grossed $4.83 million in its first weekend; became a shining dark horse, setting off a small climax of watching the movie.

Such box office results are rare high box office in this era, and now is not the era of the 21st World Screen Explosion, and the big hit movies don't break 100 million in the first week.

In the seventies of the 20th century, high-grossing movies were obtained after a few months of screening, and the famous "Star Wars" only achieved hundreds of millions of box office after half a year of screening.

The box office harvesting machine "ET" won the North American box office for 26 weeks before it earned $360 million at the North American box office.

The release schedule of "Moonlight Panic" is not Christmas or summer, it is the traditional box office off-season in North America, and there are no blockbuster films released during this period, but "Moonlight Panic" will throw away the small production films released at the same time a few streets.

Because of the popularity of the film, many theaters urgently joined the screening team, which greatly increased the screening canvas.

In the second week of its release, the screening canvas of "Moonlight Panic" increased to 1,080, and the box office exceeded 10 million in a single week, more than doubling the box office. The reason why there is so much increase is mainly because of the large increase in canvases, and of course, there is also the reason that only three days were released in the first week, and the second week counted 7 days of data.

In the third week of its release, the number of screened canvases for "Moonlight Panic" increased to 1,320, and the box office reached $3.1 million in a single week.

In just three weeks of release, in just 17 days, the North American box office of "Moonlight Panic" exceeded nearly 30 million US dollars, you must know that this is a horror film, the investment is only a few hundred thousand US dollars, and the release season is also the off-season of the movie rather than Halloween, the traditional Halloween festival in Europe and the United States, it is an accident to achieve such a box office.

However, it is precisely because "Moonlight Panic" has no competitors, coupled with Lei Weidong's publicity, that its box office has been rising in this off-season of the movie. It wasn't until June that the paintings began to fall due to the release of various blockbuster films.

By the time the painting was completed, its North American box office had reached an astonishing figure of 79.38 million US dollars, which shocked the entire American film industry.

You must know that "Moonlight Panic" only has an investment of 500,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to 130 times, which definitely belongs to the category of making a lot of money.

In the previous life, the cost of this movie was only more than 300,000, but the box office was 55 million, and it is also a classic dark horse that fights big with small fights.

The reason why the box office is higher than that of his previous life is mainly because Lei Weidong spends money on promotion, and there are no competitors, so he pushed the box office of the film up by more than 20 million US dollars, which shows that the box office of a movie is high or low, and distribution accounts for a large factor.

This is also why Hollywood is the world of several major film companies, because compared with them, the distribution ability of other companies is too far behind, and the same movies are distributed in their hands, and the box office is at least 30% higher than that of ordinary distribution companies.

In any case, "Moonlight Panic" saw a big tree, and reaped a box office of nearly 80 million at a cost of no more than 500,000, and with a return rate of more than 100,000, it became the brightest dark horse in the North American film industry this year.

And this is just the beginning, in Europe and the United States, where there is perfect patent protection, the end of film screenings is actually just the beginning of huge profits, you must know that horror films have always been the darling of videotapes and TV stations.

Just after the painting of "Moonlight Panic", a TV station bought its ten-year broadcast rights for $8 million, and the five-year distribution rights of its videotapes were also won at a high price of $4 million, which is pure profit.

MSI Films has also begun to emerge in the Hollywood film industry, and under the instruction of Lei Weidong, company leader Jessica and others have not only accelerated the shooting of the horror film "Friday the 13th", but also began to contact Hollywood directors who are good at shooting horror films, and produced a large number of horror films, B-grade films and other films.

Now that the mainstream Hollywood film market is basically monopolized by the eight major film companies, Lei Weidong cannot shake the dominance of the eight major film companies in Hollywood even if he has money, after all, these film companies have been developed for decades and can be said to be a deep-rooted force in Hollywood.

If Lei Weidong wants to gain a foothold in Hollywood, he can only make surprise soldiers to specialize in horror films and B-grade films, after all, the eight major film companies can't look down on this piece, and the profits in this area are very large.

Lionsgate, which specialized in distributing B-grade horror films in parallel time and space, is the most successful independent film company in Hollywood, and its profitability even exceeds that of several large companies in Hollywood, and its influence once ranked fifth in Hollywood.

It can be seen that horror movies not only look terrifying, but also have a very terrifying ability to attract money.

In fact, it was not only Lionsgate that released horror films, but also several major Hollywood studios that set their sights on the horror film market, which they did not care about before, as their profits became more and more meager. Columbia Pictures, Universal Pictures, and even Disney Studios have all begun to dabble in the horror film market on a large scale.

Several well-known horror films in later generations came from their branches.
