Looking at this week's box office rankings, countless people were dumbfounded, "Heavenly Dynasty" (Rotten Tomatoes Freshness 32% Favorite) is too miserable, the end of the epic film boom, and the big 2nd Century Fox can't stand a few such failures, but MGM is finished.

The new version of "Horror Wax Museum" 6 degrees, % favorite) also really disappointed Warner Bros. and lost money, and Lionsgate ...... Surprise money

If Lionsgate is the most successful film company this week, everyone has to agree that the new literary film "Crash" has a good box office, a 6-degree better reputation, Roger Albert 4 stars, 8% favorability, indb-points), and an Oscar nomination?

It's not just "Crash", TPT is exploding, terrifyingly exploding

Continued to be the No. 1 box office in a single theater week, doubling growth, an incredible amount of more than 100,000 US dollars, a wave of madness

"The Exorcism Video" did not stop the momentum after it expanded its scale, and after it accepted the single library 10i286, the two old films that had been released were remastered - pseudo-documentaries had a weekly box office score of 100,000 yuan in a single museum, and the other was "Blair the Witch". It further shatters the old view of the market, and people are not disgusted with not accepting the genre, perhaps never. - BFF weekly box office report

Of course, don't forget that it was released as a "fairly small marketing campaign" to this day, and everyone knows that Lionsgate is about to make big money again.

In an interview with Yahoo Films' weekly box office report, Tom Odenberg, head of distribution at Lionsgate, said: "A lot of people are saying Lionsgate is crazy now, but it's only a little bit, and we had high expectations for this film from the beginning, and its performance was amazing, but it didn't surprise us. ”

Regarding the mysterious genius Yunik Kuller, who has attracted much attention, Odenberg said that it is inconvenient to disclose his specific information because of the confidentiality clause, and only said that "Lionsgate and Kuhler are like brothers".

It's Lionsgate that gets cheap and sells obediently, and at the beginning there are high expectations? and outsiders will believe it, insiders only feel sarcasm, TPT satirizes everyone

In fact, as early as this week's weekend, Lionsgate announced to the outside world that "The Exorcism Video" will be released on June 10 in 2l10 North American theaters

It's no surprise that even the stupidest distributors do that these days, and what happens when a film gets 100,000 weeks at the box office?

Bowei (Disney)'s cartoon distribution style likes to accumulate word-of-mouth in one or two theaters first in the opening week, like 94 "The Lion King" has maintained the single-hall champion, the first week of 2 theaters single-hall i5722 runner-up is "The Wind in the first week" 6 theaters single theater single hall 62,30 is a very terrifying number, only the big theater is full day and night. But because they are all issued with huge publicity, and have a brand effect, and some of them are suspected of paying out of their own pockets, which has no reference value.

If there are 2 theaters in the first week of a blockbuster with a lot of publicity and a super good reputation, there will definitely be hundreds of thousands or even millions of single theater numbers.

What has reference value are those films that are also small cost, small distributors, and small marketing, at least the same.

Like Universal's "Big Company Small Boss" at the beginning of this year, the highest time - a single theater 7B76i ended up at 600,000 North American box office (the largest 196 theaters, a total of ll weeks); Like Sony's classic "Say to Her" at the end of 2 years, 2 theaters i66 ended up with 255,000 stores, 3 weeks); It's like Blair the Witch in 999, 2486 theaters ended up 4 billion 6b, 6 weeks).

The box office may be tens of millions normally, it may be hundreds of millions, and it is possible that the thunder and rain are only a few million.

It is worth mentioning again and again, TPT is not a literary film, it is a pseudo-documentary horror film, and its best reference seems to be THmouth......

LLI 1497), 2486 (L), 4296 (L10L), 17,39142), 6,54L42), boom, five weeks to break 100 million

The times are different, the circumstances are different, and the TPT's issuance strategy is different, and the week of June will be its seventh week.

However, after six years, is the pseudo-documentary business miracle really going to appear again?

Summer has arrived, young people are about to panic, and watching a horror movie, such as the only pseudo-documentary in the theater, is a good choice......

"People are forming a new group mentality, and the Exorcism Video will repeat the miracle. This is highly likely to come true, because it has no predators, movies and pseudo-documentaries in theaters. William Moltman, an analyst at The Nielsen Company, said: Another Hollywood distribution executive, who asked not to be named, said: "I still don't believe that there must be something wrong with this [pseudo-documentary] breaking out." ”

The media has begun to report on the publishers' frustration, and all the news that has leaked from within points to a situation in which executives are shocked and envious

Some people are jealous of not being able to speak, but some people are not, and TPT's fame and fortune are being criticized by some.

Andrew Douglas, the director of "Devil May Cry", recently said to the media that "this is not a movie, I don't want to see theaters full of pseudo-documentaries, that's not what movies and documentaries should look like, that's a weird product." ”

His voice has definitely been agreed by many people inside and outside the industry, even if it is filmed, pseudo-documentaries are still looked down upon by them.

However, it is obviously not a smart word or deed to say it so blatantly, and it is described as a "weird va)", especially since his debut film has just been criticized by the film critics.

Is there any hype? Is it red-eyed? Is it annoyed? No one supports him, and those who oppose him fight back, TPT fans have their voices on the Internet, and film critics have Roger Albert, the voice of the media

"Your point of view shows why your film is so ridiculous, and whether a movie is good or bad is not how it is made, but how we feel after watching it. ”

The old man didn't give any reviews to this new version before, but as early as 1979, he bombarded the old version of "Devil Crying God" (6 stars), which is really a bad fate

And because of this, Stephen King spoke up for TPT for the second time, commenting on his blog: "I'm almost scared, isn't that a movie? Is it a paranormal phenomenon?"

This fuse has quickly developed into a major controversy in the film industry and fans: Is a pseudo-documentary a movie, and is it good or evil?

Some well-known filmmakers have expressed positive support one after another, and the prodigy Ye Wei also briefly commented on his blog: "I love the exorcism video, and I love its qiē."

Andrew Douglas, who was isolated, unexpectedly changed his attitude, I don't know if he was frightened, or if he really realized his mistake, and he told the media: "My previous opinion was reckless, I didn't actually watch the exorcism video", and yesterday I went to the theater to see it, and it taught me a lesson. I apologize for my previous words, it's a good movie. ”

No matter what Y says or does, there will be a group of people who follow the jokes and ridicule for fun, and this time it's the same, when that blog post came out, Y was subjected to a lot of sarcasm:

"What's the matter with the Exorcism Video?", "Man, I advise you to be your puppet director first, don't be scolded and cry again." "Oh save it, do you think Yunik Kuhler cares about your comments? Not even me", "You know it's a horror movie, right? Have you really seen it? No wonder the guy who peed his pants yesterday looked so much like you"......

VIY is not a genius hot spot now, and in the matter of TPT, the media don't care about Ye Wei, and don't give him the slightest chance to steal the limelight, there is only that

A tacit image that has been passed back and forth: a white American boy in his early 20s, good-looking, very individual, talented, and mysterious.

Yunik Kuller.

"What? Yunik Kuhler is ......?"

In the spacious study, the number of people who were frightened by Stephen King was immeasurable, and there were not many people who frightened Stephen King, listening to Hanks on the other side of the phone, he was full of astonishment, and what did he hear in disbelief?

He and Hanks are old friends, and they also worked together on "Miracle in the Green Mile" a few years ago (1999, directed by Frank Darabont, starring Tom Hanks, 4 Oscar nominations). Recently, he was contacting Cooler when he suddenly received a call from Hanks......

"Yes, Stephen, that's him. Hanks laughed and sighed, and then went on to explain the origin of the "Exorcism Video".

"Oh wow...... Stephen King was even more surprised to hear this, frowning, and even had some new story ideas, "What the hell is this"

Hell, Kuhler is only 17 years old, TPT is his work at the end of 6 years old, and the hell Kuhler has another side......

What Hanks continued, he couldn't hear clearly, help keep it a secret, Kueller doesn't have time to talk to you about cooperation for the time being.

Shortly after this call, Stephen King received another call and heard the phrase "Hello Mr. King, I'm Kuller, Yunic Kuhler." ”

DreamWorks' share price continued to fall, which sparked greater concern in the market, and then, an even bigger decline.

"When DreamWorks makes a movie based on the original estimate of investors, it is better not to disappoint these people in the end. Richard Greenfield, an analyst at HTIG Securities Research, said. He believes that what DreamWorks is doing is causing Wall Street investors to lose confidence in it.

Regarding DreamWorks' optimistic expectations for Madagascar, he said: "They haven't learned much, and it's still that Hollywood-style over-the-top prediction, which only makes your investors happy for a while, but when people find out that they have been scammed, they are very annoyed." ”

And Emmett Milt, head of HR spoon at Wall Street securities firm, said that the general irritation of investors will further increase the pressure on stock prices to fall. And because of the news that due to the deviation of earnings estimates and the dividend plan, DreamWorks' dividend is likely to be postponed until next year.

"In fact, doing so means there are no real profiteers. "Unless they can fill the gap, DreamWorks' troubles are just the beginning." They also have some projects with high profit potential this year, and they still have a chance. ”

Whether DreamWorks' next stop is good or bad luck, we will first watch "Madagascar".

"Star Wars Prequel-" will be released on June 19, "Madagascar" will be released on the 2nd a week later, and "Exorcism Video" will be released on a large scale on June 2, the following week.

Because the genre and audience of the two films are completely different, a family cartoon that is all-age and most suitable for a family to watch, and a horror film that young people love, and there is a difference of a week, there is no zài crash, and DreamWorks has not said anything to Cliff Films, and unreasonable words will only hurt feelings and destroy the relationship, and there is no contract clause to support it.

What's more, there are several large-scale new films every week during the summer vacation, and there are three scheduled for the week of June 9th:

"Iron Fist Man" (Universal, 6.8 million production cost, drama/sports/biography, directed by Ron Howard, starring Russell Crowe, Renee Zellweger, etc.)

"Summer of Jeans" (Warner Bros., 5 million, love/adventure/comedy, starring Alexis Bledel, Blake Lively, etc.)

"Lord of Dogtown" (Sony/Columbia, 600,000, action/drama/sport, starring Heath Ledger, John Robinson, Michael Angelano and more)

Now I am afraid that TPT will have to be added, and recently, Sony Pictures suddenly announced a surprising decision to the media: "Emily Rose's Exorcism", which was originally scheduled to be released on September 9 this year, will be advanced to June 1 and open in 3,000 theaters

For a moment, there was an uproar
