Awards season, no one pays attention to the box office? That is impossible. As long as there is a movie released, the box office is bound to be a part that must be paid attention to. Even a film company that is devout to the Oscars, their desire for the golden man, in addition to the pursuit of fame, is also brought about by the golden man. The box office appeal of the company, and the expectation of the word-of-mouth potential brought by Xiaojinren to the company. Therefore, whether to win an award or not is actually a roundabout expectation at the box office.

Art, when it comes to reality, is still unavoidable to be hungry. What's more, the lively awards season is also the most anticipated Christmas time of the year, how could no one pay attention to the box office!

On the current box office rankings, there are widely watched "007: Die Another Day" agent James Bond, which has been released for two weeks, once again hit the new box office. At present, the cumulative box office has exceeded 100 million in two weeks: there are still three weeks of release. "Harry-Bōte and the Chamber of Secrets", which has a box office of over 200 million yuan, will continue to show momentum: Disney's cartoon "Singyin Island" and Amy Nam's autobiographical film "Eight Miles" are also in lively screenings.

A total of six films premiered on Monday, including the Robert De Niro-led comedy "Boss Steps aside 2," the low-budget indie film "Empire of Gold," Christian Bale's "Tear Doom" and a Canadian A small budget production in India, and then an "adaptation".

Compared with the so-called "competitors", the "adapted script" was only held in seven cinemas, obviously to catch up with the deadline for registration of the awards season, and then gradually expand the screening according to word of mouth and the direction of the awards season. Of the 122 films shown at the same time, "Adapted Screenplay" was one of only 20 works in single-digit theaters. So, at the box office, the "adaptation" doesn't have any competitiveness in its first week. In fact, even if "adapting the script"

It is officially released on a large scale, and it is estimated that the results are similar to "Death Illusion". Naturally, this kind of literary drama cannot be compared at the box office with the box office giants such as "007: Die Another Day" and "Harry Bōte and the Chamber of Secrets". . Therefore, like "Death Illusion," the box office of "adapted script" is more of a data that the film company is concerned about internally.

"Adapted script" invested 19 million Nicholas-Cage, Meryl-Streep and several actors' remuneration accounted for most of the cost. When will the cost be recovered, and whether it will make a difference in the awards season As, with a view to later. Four rental market revenue, this is the focus of Columbia Pictures.

On December 6th, the "adapted script" was released in seven theaters on Friday, and it made $860,000 at the box office in three days over the weekend, still a long way from the one million threshold. But this achievement has caused the shock of all the media.

Seven movie theaters, $860,000 at the box office, this arithmetic problem that anyone can do "adaptation" at the single-house box office actually reached "122,850." Abandon the fraction, which is $120,000 at the box office for a single venue.

What does $120,000 in a single hall mean? It means that since the "Adapted Script" was released, seven cinemas have been full, and the 24-hour broadcast is still in short supply. It means that after the "Adapted Script" has gained a lot of recognition in word of mouth, the audience also keeps coming. Go to the cinema to watch this movie.

If it is said that the box office of a single hall is only a figure of 120,000 US dollars, and you can't tell the difference, let's compare it vertically. Among the films released in the same period, excluding the "adapted script", the highest single-house box office was the independent film "Black Gold Empire". And the box office giant "007: Die Another Day" has a single box office of $5,000, and "Harry-Bōte and the Chamber of Secrets" has a single box office of $3,600, which is almost only one of the "adapted script" box office. zero.

Therefore, "007: Die Another Day" has won the championship of the North American box office rankings, "The Boss Stands aside 2," and "Harry Bōte and the Chamber of Secrets" ranked second and third respectively. This news is really not shocking, especially in all movies. The company is preparing for the Christmas battle that starts next week, and the highest weekend box office this week is only 16 million US dollars. It is really impossible for the media to discuss actively. In this case, "adapting the script" The box office of the pavilion exceeded the threshold of 100,000 US dollars, which undoubtedly caused the media to swarm, and cast their enthusiastic eyes on the works of the new forces added after the awards season.

"Adapted Screenplay" can achieve such a single-house box office result, no one can predict, even if it is Neil Darcy, Chris Fair Punk and the like, even if they have great confidence in Evan Bell, even if it is No matter how experienced professionals are, they cannot make such bold predictions. After all, who would have thought that a literary drama, a snarky work that made people confused and cursed, and a work that was teased by the screenwriter, could achieve such a good result.

William Wood wrote a comment on "Entertainment Week," "Evan Bell's vision for selecting works is compelling! The voice of the media was expressed from another angle.

The alternatives of "Death Illusion" such as "Ice Age", "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", and "Sniper at the Phone Booth" are close to the mainstream, and then return to the box of "adapted script". No one can figure out the standard of Evan Bell's work. , and no one can read Evan-Bell's unreasonable play of cards, but everyone can see that Evan-Bell's works are brilliant, even if there are disputes and discussions, they can be seen in each work. You can see bright spots in all of them, and you can also win the hearts of certain audiences. This is a miracle.

The miracle of the box office in the first week of the single hall made the media even more looking forward to the next box office results of the "adapted script". Of course, since Columbia Pictures did not intend to expand the release, they knew their plans. Columbia Pictures hopes to rely on word of mouth to spread the "adapted script". It has been screened in seven cinemas in the early stage. The company spends all its energy on public relations promotion during the awards season, and strives to "adapted script" in the awards season. Gained above.

Later, it will be expanded or released. VD is a channel for cost recovery. Therefore, Columbia did not blindly speed up the pace, and still maintained the number of seven theaters.

Therefore, what the media pays attention to is not what the "adapted script" can achieve in the North American box office rankings, but what the box office trend of its single hall will be.

"Adapted Screenplay" released in the second week of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", "Maid in Manhattan", "Interstellar: Nemesis", "Music Hotline", "Beautiful Girl" all released, and also The movie "How to Get Away" that Evan Bell missed is now officially released, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Conspiracy" is clearly the biggest hit.

Sure enough, the melee "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers" on the box-office charts was a strong win, winning the North American box-office chart this week. The strange thing is that the media, in addition to focusing on the top ten in the box office as usual, also set their sights on the twenty or so positions, just to find the name of the "adaptation script".

found it! "Adapted Screenplay" came in at No. 22 with a three-day weekend box office of $700,000 and a cumulative box office of $1.8 million.

The "Wow" media was once again in an uproar. The box office of "Adapted Script" fell by only 18% this week, and the box office of the single hall once again created an astonishing result of 100,000 US dollars. You must know that this week's champion "The Lord of the Rings, The Legend of the Two Towers" earned only $30,000 at the single-hall box office.

Of course, "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" has been shown in as many as 3,600 theaters in the United States, and the box office of the single theater is bound to be divided. But the important thing is that the "adapted script" can create such an exaggerated single-house box office result, which shows the audience's support for this movie. In addition, it can also be seen from the side that Columbia Pictures' public relations promotion of the "adapted script" is in place.

Thinking of "adapting the script", maybe in the awards season where there are many heroes, they really have the ability to get a piece of the pie.

In the third week of the "Adapted Screenplay" release, Christmas is officially here, and "The Intimate Lover" starring Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Dennis Dai Note Lewis and others. "Gangs of New York" - this is the second consecutive film released by Leonardo DiCaprio in just two weeks after being silent for two years, and films such as "Little Heroes of the Wilderness" have also been released. Christmas has become very lively.

At this time ~www.readwn.com~ finally officially expanded the release of the "adapted screenplay" in 109 cinemas, with a box office performance of US$37,000 per venue, creating a box office of US$4.03 million at the same end , at this time the cumulative box office has come to 6.5 million US dollars.

With the release of the "adapted script", it also successfully entered the top 20 of the North American box office chart, ranking 14th. As for the box office of the single hall, it has won the box office champion of the single hall for three consecutive weeks, and the results are really appalling.

In the last weekend of 2002, and the fifth week of "Adapted", the box office charts were terrific due to the strength of "The Two Towers" and "How to Get Away with Murder", while "Adapted" "Continued to achieve a box office of $40,000 in a single hall, the box office curve continued to rise, and once again won the weekend box office of $4.1 million, the cumulative box office surpassed $10 million, and the box office was $12 million. Ushered in the sunrise of 2003.

After entering 2003, the box office results of the "adapted script" are still lackluster, but the box office of the single venue is still outstanding. After winning the box office champion of the single venue for the sixth consecutive week, Columbia Pictures also cooperated with the upcoming Golden Globe Awards and Oscars. , officially expanded the release, and was shown in 560 cinemas, and the box office of the "adapted script" in a single hall was still going strong!
