After the preparation of previews around the world, the mention of the London premiere of "Les Miserables", the media review of the double blessing of the Berlin Film Festival and the Oscars, and the topic of awards season, the box office performance of "descendant" still failed to replicate the magical curve of Renli's past.

The cumulative box office of the five-week preview was still not able to exceed one million US dollars.

Objectively speaking, the market box office performance of the awards season works is not the focus, because this is not the original intention of the production of the work. In addition to the Oscars, the income of the work comes more from videotape rentals rather than theater screenings. Even the pre-screenings of art theaters are basically unprofitable.

Two years ago, Nicole Kidman won the Oscar nomination for Best Actress "Rabbit Hole". Before the nomination, the cumulative box office was 1.5 million, and after the nomination, the final box office was 2.2 million. Last year, the Oscar nomination for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress was "It's hard to tell the difference between male and female". Before the nomination, the cumulative box office was 2 million, and after the nomination, the total box office was 3 million.

For such art works, box office is never the focus of attention. No one cares about their production costs unless they are incredibly expensive, and no one cares about their box office data unless they have the possibility of impacting the best film nomination.

"Detachment" is naturally no exception.

In fact, after the Berlin Film Festival, the reputation and reputation of "detached" have already predicted the direction of box office. Now, in just five weeks during the preview period, the cumulative box office of the movie has reached nearly one million, and such performance is already amazing.

What's more, Tony Kaye did not announce the production cost and shooting budget for "Super" this movie. According to industry insiders' estimates, it should be between one million and one and a half million, which may be slightly higher, but it basically fluctuates in this range.

This also means that such box office data were obtained during the pre-screening period, which is already a very gratifying box office figure for Tony.

But for reporters, who are eagerly looking forward to Lan Li's magical performance, such achievements are far from being outstanding or successful.

After browsing the box office performance of all Lanli's works, the lowest number is the "buried alive" 52 million, while the lowest investment cost "Love Madness" swept over 125 million. These are still the box office in North America. If it is the global box office figure, the achievements will be even more incredible.

The reporters' expectations for Lanli are not only about outstanding box office, but also about achieving profits, but should be a big hit, without ten times or twenty times box office revenue, which seems unsatisfactory. The current "descending" results and reputation may be acceptable for others, but for Lanli, this is Waterloo.

After the first week of December, the preview pace of "transcendence" is still slow and unfolding in an orderly manner.

In the last week of 2012, the film was released in forty-nine theaters in five North American cities. The preview range was still strictly controlled within a limited range, allowing reputation and comments to flow slowly, and allowing controversy and debate to ferment slowly; even after the New Year, the preview pace still did not completely take place.

"Deliverance" has always insisted on small-scale screenings. The widest week of screenings in theaters occurred in the fourth week of January, and was screened in 351 theaters, but it only lasted for one week. The number of theaters began to be reduced in the next week, and it fell back to the scale of screenings of 298 theaters.

In other words, the chances of movie fans watching movies in art theaters are really limited. After missing out, they can only wait for the release of the video tape to watch it through rental or online on-demand.

Finally, "Deliverance" was released in a small-scale theater in North America for 18 weeks, and was officially offline in the first week of March; however, instead, four weeks later, the movie was officially released on Blu-ray DVDs, providing rental and sales, providing a wider viewing channel for real veteran movie fans.

When "Speed" was officially launched, the cumulative box office of the film in North America was $6.98 million; and there was no overseas box office, because Tony Kaye did not operate overseas theaters to release movies, he skipped the theater link and allowed the majority of movie fans to watch the work more directly and quickly.

According to the official announcement of Tony Kaye's personal studio, "transcendence" has achieved profits early on relying solely on the box office of theaters, and the amount is far beyond imagination.

The studio also stated that Tony donated all box office revenue to charities, mainly institutions related to the education system, especially projects that fund slum education; later, Lanli also announced that he would donate all personal pay income and box office dividends to the same charities.

Obviously, for them, making money is never the primary goal, or even one of the goals, when shooting and producing the work "detached".

At the same time, "transcendence" officially surpassed the "American X Archives" and became Tony's work with the highest box office performance in his personal directorial career. This was really an unexpected result.

When "American x Archives" was released in 1998, it achieved a North American box office of $6.72 million; it was also released overseas, achieving a good box office result, and eventually the global cumulative box office exceeded 20 million, up to 23 million.

However, the filming cost of this movie was also huge, with a total investment of 20 million US dollars. According to this calculation, the movie not only failed to make a profit, but also had to lose money. But later, the movie performed well in the video tape rental market and successfully achieved profitability.

"Deliverance" has not been released overseas, and the global box office is naturally not comparable to "American X Archives". However, this work was launched into the DVD rental market early and also received good feedback. Moreover, its long battery life is amazing. The author's movies have always been like this.

Although the box office of "transcendence" in North America was far beyond expectations; although "transcendence" achieved profitability again, even if it did not make a big hit, the results were still good; although the widespread discussion of "transcendence" was still eye-catching; although "transcendence" was just an art film, an art film that did not judge success or failure by box office...

But no one can ignore it, and no one wants to ignore it. This is the first Waterloo since Renly was born. It is either a guess, an imaginary, or a real Waterloo.

First of all, Renli's dream of breaking 100 million in North America was shattered in five consecutive works.

Secondly, the "detached" North America's cumulative box office has not even been able to cross the threshold of tens of millions.

Again, the reputation of "detached" is struggling in a full-scale struggle. In addition to the 55-point media comprehensive review, Rotten Tomatoes are 59% fresh, while the average score is 6 points; above IDC, the scores of more than 40,000 netizens are temporarily settled at 7:8, which slightly saved their face, but they are still a drop in the bucket.

This is undoubtedly Lanley's career low; and it is far below expectations.

Therefore, the day people are waiting for, the day people are asking, and the day people are looking forward to finally come; but... the mood is not as excited and joy as imagined.

After a brief period of gratitude and joy, the mood quickly settled down, a little confused, a little lonely, and a little disappointed. The mixed emotions are really difficult to accurately summarize in one language.

Not long ago, Lan Li, who had just turned 23, created countless miracles in her career, even making people jealous and resentful. She wanted to see him fall down hard. But when this day really came, people began to lose their minds. Could it be that the number one person in the Y generation was in a slump?

Does that mean that the alternation of times is still impossible to complete? Does that mean that the rise of new generations of actors has come to an abrupt end? Does that mean that they have no chance to witness the birth of one history after another?

Human beings are always so contradictory, good and bad, good and evil, advance and retreat, everything gathers in them, and after their wishes come true, they begin to regret it again.

Now, I turned my head and looked back on Renly's career. I was too happy because they missed the moment when Renly created history again, and the future suddenly became uncertain. Will the Tom Cruise and Will Smith-like idols of the era never appear again?

It is mixed with all kinds of flavors, and this may be the best adjective now.

Many media did not have the collective collective attacks as they imagined, but were a little uneasy. After the report was completed, they began to raise another concern:

The complex reputation and sluggish box office of "detachment" and the slow preview pace. Does this mean that in this year's awards season, Lanley will be nominated for the first time?

The connection between the Berlin Film Festival and the Oscars has always been extremely weak. Every year, the winners of the best actors and actresses are extremely difficult to compete for the awards season, and the record of winning is even more slim.

The last time the Berlin actor won the Oscar, it dates back to 2000. After beniio-del-toro reached Berlin with the "Drug/Genesis Network", he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor the next year.

The last time the Berlin actress won the Oscar was in 2004. Charlize Theron won the Berlin and Oscars with his outstanding performance among the "female devil". At that time, it was the honeymoon period between Berlin and the Oscars. Halle Berry in 2002 and Nicole Kidman in 2003 all replicated the trajectory of winning the Oscar after reaching Berlin.

But now, Lanley's prospects for this year's awards season are getting weaker.

So far, among the actors who have been accused of Oscars, people have mentioned Joaquin Phoenix of the "Master", Daniel Day Lewis of the "Lincoln", Bradley Cooper of the "Happiness Line Behind the Dark Cloud", but no one has mentioned the "detached" Lanlee.

This is the real disappointment, this is the real downturn.

After years of continuous strength, Renly's upward momentum slowed down for the first time this year.
