Disaster Artist

Just a question, when the whole Lanchuan was shocked again and again, stunned and speechless again and again, like a group of hillbillies who have never seen the world, acting so embarrassed and so stupid, what are they surprised about?

In fact, the problem is not difficult, just list a set of numbers.

In the long history, works with a premiere box office of more than 400 million are like crucian carp crossing the river, and there are too many to count.

Among these works, the follow-up box office trend presents a completely different curve, there are amazing small declines, there are ups and downs, there are avalanches that shatter the sky, and there are reasonable declines that are not worth mentioning... All the performances are in line with market laws and constitute the key to the box office. history.

Among them, the record holders of subsequent box office performance are as follows—

In the second week, "Frozen Adventure", rose 53.4%.

In the third week, "Future Alliance", fell 1.8%.

For the fourth week, "Future Alliance," fell 9.4 percent.

In the fifth week, the "Century Giant Ship" rose by 4.9%.

Numbers are the most intuitive and clear at a glance.

Among the above-mentioned works, "Frozen Adventure" is currently the box office record holder in the history of film and animation, and it will exceed a little over 10 billion.

"Future Alliance" is the current film history box office record holder with 21 billion, which is also the only work with a global box office breaking through 20 billion; It was almost about to be overtaken by "Jedi Knight 7", but in the end it still didn't, and it still firmly held the runner-up position, with a total box office of 14 billion.

Every work, every set of data is all history, and it is still an unsurpassable peak. Even if "Jedi Knight 7" set off a storm last year and broke a series of records, it still has not surpassed the historical status of "Future Alliance" , it can be seen from this.

But now, the data of "City of Starfall" can all be compared with these works—

In the second week, it rose by 71.1%, greatly surpassing "Frozen Adventure".

In the third week, it fell by 1.4%, which was unimaginable and narrowly beat the "Future Alliance".

In the fourth week, the increase was 23.8%. This is also the only work in film history that saw an increase in the third weekend of its release.

In the fifth week, it fell by 6%. Although it is slightly inferior to "The Great Wheel of the Century", its performance also ranks second in film history.

Is this... a surprise or not, an accident or not?

Who would have thought that the "City of Falling Stars" could reach such a height, and even suppress the holders of those historical records, which means:

Perhaps subject to the sanction order of the theater alliance, "City of Starfall" is restrained everywhere, and cannot be completely free like "Future Alliance" and "Century Great Wheel"; but this work is still shining in its own way. With the support of limited resources, the potential of the box office market will be detonated bit by bit.

Therefore, it is not that Lan Chuan has not seen the world, it is precisely because they have seen the world, they know the meaning of these numbers and records more clearly than anyone else, that really detonated the shock wave in their minds, and then fell into shock again and again , the language completely loses its meaning.

Last week, Echo Theater's defection became the key to changing the fate of "Starfall City". However, according to the judgment of industry insiders, the film has fully tapped its market potential, and will slowly return to the right track in the next week in accordance with market laws. With the increase in the number of lines, the follow-up should start to be weak.

really-

"Starfall City" finally ushered in a box office drop, finally!

However, who would have thought that the drop in the box office was still in the single digits? Look at the 30% drop figures of "Game of the Brave", "The King of the Show King" and other works released in the same period, and then look at "Starfall" City" decline figures, a sense of absurd unreality arises spontaneously.

It's hard to believe, 6%, which is actually the highest weekend box office drop since "Starfall City" was released.

"Entertainment Weekly" wrote a report on this, with a very horrifying title—

"'Starfall' finally saw its biggest box office drop since its release in its fifth week... 6%."

Watching the first half, audiences who don't know why may be nervous, but at the end, the tension has turned into consternation, and even a sense of absurd joy.

so what?

Does this mean that the theater alliance's sanctions order has completely failed, does this mean that the box office of "Starfall City" is unstoppable, does this mean that there may be another traitor in the theater alliance? Means "Starfall City" may continue to raise its box office ceiling?

No one dares to guess lightly—

Because any rules and routines are ineffective in front of the "City of Falling Stars". Professionals shut their mouths one after another, waiting quietly like laymen, saying too many mistakes, and any prediction may become evidence of slap in the face. Instead of this, it is better to keep quiet and witness the birth of miracles together.

First of all, the theater alliance has not been disbanded, nor has it defected.

Although Blue Whale Films has been trying to start negotiations with the theater alliance, at this point, both parties have no way out, and the theater alliance cannot compromise for the sake of face, at least it cannot make concessions on the "City of Falling Stars", otherwise The gesture of slapping the face is too ugly, they can't bear it.

However, it is not without progress. "City of Starfall" has become the backing and confidence of Blue Whale Films. They have proved themselves. Without the support of the theater alliance, they only rely on the current four major theaters and Echo Entering the House. With the support of streaming media, the film distribution system can also work.

In other words, Blue Whale Films can continue to expand its distribution channels without the consent of the theater chain alliance. The reason why Blue Whale Films is still negotiating with the theater chain alliance is to help the theater chain. Save them from being obsolete in the coming streaming era.

The theater alliance refused to admit this, and still put on a high profile, but...the body was very honest, and he still attended the meeting. The progress of the negotiation was very slow but the confrontation was indeed unfolding. Blue Whale Pictures finally let the mighty theater alliance sit At the negotiating table, this is transformation.

In the words of a businessman, the next step is the distribution of benefits.

But obviously, the theater chain alliance has lost the opportunity. The three major theater chains headed by the detached theater chain seized the upper hand, and the rebellion of Echo Cinema also won them an important bargaining chip. Now these four theater chains are standing on the blue whale As far as the film industry is concerned, even if Blue Whale Films is willing to share more profits with the theater alliance, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com they are not willing.

This tug-of-war is very, very, very detrimental to the theater alliance; however, the theater alliance is not without chips, and other film companies are obviously unwilling to see streaming media become a new distribution channel, because they have not yet decided whether to The layout that needs to enable streaming.

In other words, the entire Lanchuan is in turmoil.

Secondly, the box office progress of "City of Falling Stars" is indeed unstoppable, and the highest box office limit of "City of Falling Stars" has far exceeded expectations.

Golden kite award and singing and dancing movies, these two key words were originally the label that shackles the "City of Starfall" to win market recognition, and it is also the main reason why the Lanchuan industry is not optimistic about Lu Qian; but now it has become a new history, opening The key to a new situation, those unique, weird and distinct colors, all become the advantages of the movie that wins the audience's love.

This is the case with everything in the world. Advantages can become disadvantages. Similarly, disadvantages can also become advantages. Everything has two sides.

So, how high can the myth of "City of Falling Stars" reach?
