...After the release of Death Hallucination, 30 media outlets released film reviews. Two-thirds of them praised the movie. Twelve media outlets also gave ratings of up to 8.5, and the number of five-star recommendations was 16. It can be seen that the reputation of "Death Hallucination" is like the Sundance Film Festival and is loved by professional film critics.

Among the audience ratings, the freshness of Rotten Tomato website reached 65%, which shows that praise was the upper hand. What is even more commendable is that in the imdb scoring system, after more than 50,000 viewers voted, the rating reached 8:1 points, and bravely broke into the top 250, ranking 227th.

Unlike the movies that have received good reviews in the media, professional film critics, and audiences, even if the reputation of "Diet Illusion" is so great, this movie is destined to be difficult to achieve in the box office. This is what C-Best E-Movie makes a decision. If you don't like it, you don't like it. Even if your reputation is good, you can't change this fact.

Therefore, although the release time was chosen to be the summer season, the North American box office military strategists must compete for, but "Death Illusion..., has no concern for the competitors of the same period, and other movies have not paid any attention to "Death Illusion". Even if there is "Spike Moment 2,"

"Pearl Harbor..., "Jurassic Park 3", "American Pie 2", "Planet of the Apes" and other box offices have been released, and there is also the box office dark horse "Princess Diary" that gallops in the summer "Diet Illusion"

The crew didn't care at all.

On August 16th, "Detective Illusion" was released in 198 cinemas on Thursday. The box office on the first day was 600,000, not even 1 million, but it was just a fraction of other box office blockbusters. The cumulative box office in the three days of the weekend was approaching two million, reaching the figure of 1.9 million.

Compared with other movies, the box office has exceeded 10 million in the first week, and even hundreds of millions of dollars in the "Diet Illusion" and the box office results of 1.9 million are really unsuccessful. In the North American summer box office rankings, which are fierce in competition, they have not even squeezed into the top 20.

But for the 20th Century Fox, it was overjoyed to the crew of "Detective Illusion". Drew and Barrymore even proposed to hold a celebration banquet, and such behavior was absolutely abnormal.

But in fact, not only the "death hallucination", but even the media were surprised by this result, not because the box office results were too low, but because the result was unexpectedly good!

Although the movie itself has a very good reputation, for such an obscure and difficult-to-understand c-visual film,

Even if you have to log in to the official movie website to read the "Update of Time and Space Travel" to understand the movie, there is absolutely no way to equate reputation and box office. Therefore, this achievement is surprising.

By comparing two simple data sets, you will know that this result is achieved.

First of all, "Diet Illusion..., investing 4.5 million US dollars, plus the promotional expenses, will not exceed 5 million US dollars at most. Originally, Twentieth Century Fox no longer has hope for the box office, and mainly hopes to recover costs after the DVD release, and then create profits. But unexpectedly, in the first week of the release, it was a box office of 1.9 million US dollars, and one-third of the cost was recycled. This naturally made Twentieth Century Fox and Richard and Kelly happy.

Secondly, the box office results of 198 venues and 1.9 million yuan mean that the average box office of each cinema has reached 9596 US dollars. The box office of a single cinema is close to 10,000 US dollars, and the box office is not as big as the box office, but it is definitely the audience's reaction to the movie results. It is not difficult to draw a conclusion that the good reputation of the movie still has an impact on the audience, causing the audience to go to the cinema to watch the movie.

The box office debut in the first week, as well as the reaction of film critics and audiences over-rejection, made 20th Century Fox rush to change the screening plan and expand the screening across the United States. Any movie publisher hopes that the movies in his hands can make money. They did not buy the distribution rights for the sake of losing money. Previously, the positioning of the "Diet Illusion" was the DVD market, but unexpectedly, after the release, there were unexpected surprises, so it was natural to expand the screening. The number of cinemas broadcasting "Diet Illusion" across the United States in the second week increased to 250.

The second week, "Detective Illusion" achieved a box office of 1.5 million in three days on the weekend, with a small drop, while the box office of the nasal cavity has successfully exceeded 3 million, reaching the figure of 3.2 million.

By the third week, the sequelae of cult movies being difficult to integrate into the public finally emerged, and the box office began to decline all the way, with a very obvious decline. The following fourth week continued to decline, which led to the 20th Century Fox having to gradually recycle the venues that were released in advance: mainly to avoid unnecessary expenses.

Although the third and fourth weeks showed a little insufficient momentum, the cumulative box office of "Diet Hallucination" stumbled over four million in one month, and finally achieved a record of four million.

Although the box office results of "Detective Hallucination" are definitely not a miracle, they still brought great surprises to Richard Kelly and Twentieth Century Fordens. Four weeks later, Richard Kelly officially announced in front of the media that the cost of "Detective Hallucination" had been completely recovered, exceeding expectations.

It can be said that the "Diet Illusion" that was even decided to be limited to the screening before it was released was not optimistic at the box office. Even professional media with frequent praises clearly know that this movie is difficult to spread widely due to its subject matter, but it will gain support in professional films, especially the group of cult films.

But after the movie was released, it relied on Gu Luobei's influence to attract attention, and also used good reputation to drive the box office, and finally gave a surprising box office figure. The cost was recycled every four weeks after it was released, which was something Richard and Kelly never dreamed of.

Twentieth Century Fox was even more unexpected, saying that he had missed the truth. Fortunately, under the insistence of Richard and Kelly, Twentieth Century Fox finally decided to release the movie, and then, under Gu Luobei's persuasion, the release time was ahead of schedule. Being able to achieve such a box office can indeed be called a joyful victory!

By the fifth week, the September 11 incident that shocked the whole world happened, and the entire entertainment industry was hit. The box office was not unexpectedly unsuccessful. It fell sharply. Although the "Diet Illusion" involved the savior complex, the movie unexpectedly gained the popularity of some viewers and gave the box office a strange small upward curve, under the depressed environment of the whole nation, any entertainment contracted sharply, and the rate of the number of viewers still declined was not relieved at all. Soon, the 20th Century Fox made a quick decision and took the "Diet Illusion" off the screen from the cinema.

Finally, "Detective Hallucination" was released for seven weeks, and the cumulative box office survey exceeded 5 million US dollars.

This box office result will definitely not do anything in the year-end box office rankings, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for even the top 100. But for Richard-Kelly and Twentieth Century Fox, it has exceeded expectations: for Gu Luobei, the good reputation of the movie and the recognition of professional film mi are enough.

Facts have proved that Gu Luobei will also make some achievements in the position of actors, which is the part that Gu Luobei has been paying attention to before. As for the position of the year-end box office rankings, it has never been what Gu Luobei cares about.

Later, the issuance rights of "Diet Illusion" were sold to other countries by Richard-Kelly, but as expected, the box office still failed to achieve much. The best UK was only $800,000. Despite this, the global box office of $7 million still made Richard-Kelly profitable.

Gu Luobei knew that history has indeed changed. The box office results of the "Detective Illusion" in the previous life were only 500,000 US dollars. But this time, the five million North American and seven million worldwide scores have already made Gu Luobei take the most solid first step in film.

The true glory of "Diet Illusion" comes from the release of DVD, whether in previous or present lives.

Twentieth Century Fox's reputation for watching movies was well received. It soon released the "Detective Hallucination" DVD in October, which had nothing to do with the decline of the film market. The DVD market was not greatly affected by the September 11 incident. Although it was not very popular, it did not decline sharply. Like most cult films, the enthusiastic professional filmmakers showed great hobbies for the "Detective Hallucination" DVD, which made the "Detective Hallucination" completely popular in the DVD market.

According to statistics from 20th Century Fox, as of the end of 2002, the "Diet Illusion" made a profit of 15 million US dollars in the US DVD sales and rental market, allowing 20th Century Fox to make a fortune.

This is definitely another surprise for Richard-Kelly, who has recovered costs during the release process!

Corresponding to the popularity of the DVD market, there are more and more viewers voting for "Diet Hallucination" on the IDC system. After that, more than 250,000 viewers scored the movie. This voting number also indirectly shows the popularity of the movie in the DVD market. The rating of the 250,000 viewers reached 8:3 points, which actually rose even more than when it was released. It successfully ranked among the top 200 in t0p250ps and ranked 125th. This is definitely the greatest affirmation for "Diet Hallucination".

The most popular reputation: unexpected surprises at the box office: Riding the wind and waves in the DVD market.

After the release of "Detective Hallucination", the momentum was to move up step by step, becoming an independent film.

The masterpiece in cult movies!

With the success of "Diet Hallucination", Gu Luobei also officially entered the public's sight as an actor. In the imdb system, Gu Luobei's information, "actor" is added to the career column, and now he is "actor, singer" and is ranked side by side.
