As a small-cost independent comedy, Lionsgate Film has lowered its hopes from the beginning, put on a low profile, and always kept a low profile. This has also brought more joy and happiness to the emergence of "I am fighting cancer", and has become the brightest scenery at the time of the New Year's alternation.

However, none of this is the credit of Lionsgate Pictures. Strictly speaking, Lionsgate's passive slack has caused a lot of controversy, and many industry insiders are seriously discussing: If Lionsgate Pictures seriously promotes rather than relying on opportunism, then is it possible that the North American box office of "I am the anti-cancer" exceeding 200 million? This sounds really incredible, but it is true that people are considering such a possibility.

In fact, Lionsgate Pictures has not invested much energy in the distribution and promotion of overseas markets, but has cooperated with local publishers by packaging and selling the copyright. Naturally, "I am the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the

Despite this, Lionsgate Film made a small profit through its copyright cooperation. Before the official release of North America, "I am the anti-cancer me" had already made a profit. As for the bumper box office in North America, it was a surprise.

In the end, "I Against Cancer" was released in only 25 countries and regions. Compared with those commercial blockbusters in 60 or 70 countries, such a release scale can be said to be the level of art films, including major markets such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Mexico, etc., but major markets such as Brazil, New Zealand, Spain, South Korea, and China are all absent.

The overseas box office trend of "I am fighting cancer" is completely expected. As the base camp of Lanli, the UK has once again become the largest overseas box office box office. The total box office of 10 million US dollars is also the only country in the overseas film market that has exceeded 10 million mark; Germany, Argentina and France have also performed very well, exceeding five million, which is rare for art films.

Compared with the big explosions in the North American market, the overseas market seems lukewarm. Without the chemical reactions created by the premiere accident, and without the chain discussion effect triggered by the album "Don Quixote", the "I Against Cancer" seems to be knocked back to its original form overnight, and the box office plundering posture that was so awesome to the mountains and rivers disappeared.

However, this is just a conclusion drawn from the North American box office. Objectively speaking, in 25 countries and regions, "I am the one who fights cancer" successfully obtained 32 million US dollars in box office data, which is still a surprise achievement worth celebrating, not only because the production cost is only 8 million, but also because the movie itself lacks the core force to ignite the market.

Perhaps, overseas box office is the true portrayal of "I am fighting cancer": excellent, outstanding, appropriate, and capable of achieving box office, but not the potential to become a box office giant. The overseas score of 32 million yuan is a small surprise, but it is not too outrageous. Everything is within a reasonable range, but it is acceptable to be at ease. As for the box office in North America, that is the data leaked from evil spirits.

When the "I Against Cancer" ended its screening around the world, the total box office of this work reached 208 million US dollars. In comparison, the global box office of "Love Crazy" was 227 million US dollars.

In the North American market, the outstanding performance of "Love Crazy" laid the foundation for the miracle journey of "I Against Cancer"; in the overseas market, the vision, means, methods and strategies of Focus Pictures and Lionsgate Pictures are completely different, which ultimately led to a huge gap in the two works. This shows that the gap between the two film companies is not just capital and scale.

Despite this, the eight million investment eventually brought about a box office of 208 million yuan worldwide. After deducting dividends, publicity and cost, Lionsgate Pictures earned at least 70 million US dollars with this work! Such data has not yet calculated the profits after the release of DVD and Blu-ray discs!

Such achievements are enough to make those super commercial blockbusters ashamed, even exceeding the revenue ratio of popular works such as "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)".

Of course, for such commercial blockbusters, the real money-making part is never above the box office of the movie, the profits of theme parks, surrounding development and copyright reuse. This is the real big deal. In comparison, box office revenue is only a drop in the bucket, and these are parts that "I am fighting cancer" and similar works cannot have.

However, "I am fighting cancer" also has advantages that super commercial blockbusters do not have: awards season!

The super commercial blockbuster adaptation of comics, animations, and theme parks have a natural advantage in peripheral development, but in the awards season, the starlight was dim. "Batman: The Dark Knight" won the Oscar for Heath Ledger, the Little Golden Man, which is the pinnacle representative work, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" won an Oscar nomination for Johnny Depp, which was also an unexpected surprise. However, until 217, such movies have never won the Oscar nomination for Best Picture, and even the "Dark Knight" has not been able to do it.

This is the inherent weakness of genre films. On the other hand, "I am the anti-cancer me" has innate advantages: independent works with strong artistic costs have certain commercial attributes, but they still maintain their own exploration and research in themes, art, etc. Therefore, the excellent performance of the box office market is an important catalyst for the college's public relations.

Works such as "Sunny Beautiful", "Juno", "127 Hours", "Weakness", "Chicago" are all representatives of such movies. The same is true for "I Against Cancer".

During this year's awards season, the "I, who is not very strong in the early stage," with his outstanding box office performance in December, appeared in the eyes of the public, and the excellent professional reputation of the film has won more attention.

So far, the focus of film critics and industry insiders has mainly focused on Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay and Best Actor.

Will Rissel's script is so complete that it has been praised unanimously. Although the description of supporting roles is not as good as that of "the little beauty in the sun", the perfect combination of laughter and tears is comparable to "Juno". The lines that combine wisdom and self-deprecating left a deep impression on people; while Renly Hall's first comedy performance in his career stunning the big screen, freely and vivid performance won praise for the young actor who was only 22 years old. Many people even believe that this performance is no less than "buried alive".

If you have to choose, the most promising award for "I Against Cancer" is undoubtedly the Best Actor!

Don’t forget that in addition to “I’m Anti-cancer”, there is also a movie called “Love Crazy”. The box office in North America exceeded 100 million, and it also received crazy praise, and it was also literary and fresh. More importantly, the latter also received countless sought after at the Sundance Film Festival. Throughout the entire 211 years, it sprinted towards the awards ceremony season. Not only did it not have fatigue or decline, but it gradually accelerated and rushed towards the Oscars with all its might.

Regarding "Love is crazy", people critics believe that it has hope to compete in the best film, best actor, best supporting actress, best original script and other departments.

This detail alone shows that the industry evaluation of "Love Crazy" is slightly ahead of "I Against Cancer", not because of the quality of the work, but because of the balance of characters in the script, the main characters of "Love Crazy" have more room to play, and at the same time they also interpret more possibilities.

Objectively speaking, just like last year's "Blue Valentine's Day", with rave reviews, I finally received only one nomination for Best Actress at the Oscar. The limitations of the love drama movie can be seen, but this time, the critics' sect was full of confidence in the "Love Crazy" starring actors, especially the Best Actor.

Or, he is the best actor again.

In terms of the difficulty of the performance, "I am fighting cancer" is undoubtedly better; but in terms of performance level and quality of completion, "Love Crazy" has been loved by many film critics.

In this work, Lanli's performance is delicate and real, profound and wonderful. The spirituality between the eyebrows and eyes gives Jacob the character's unparalleled charm, and at the same time completes the interpretation of the core theme of the story. Lanli shows his acting talent, solid basic skills, agile lens sense, delicate emotional interpretation, and surging post-viewing reflections.

James Bernard of "Voice of the Village" believes that "the two works deserve two nominations, and he is undoubtedly the most charming and performing male actor after Malone Brando."

In the comments, James said that if Renly became the first actor in film history to win the Oscar for the double nomination for Best Actor, he would not be surprised at all; what he was even more worried was that because it was difficult to choose, it led to a crisis of vote division. People did not know whether to choose "crazy love" or "I am fighting cancer", which would lead to insufficient votes, allowing Renly to pass by the nomination. This is the biggest regret.

In December, the awards season kicked off. Awards ceremonies such as the Boston Film Critics Association, the National Critics Association Award, and the San Francisco Film Critics Association Award appeared one after another. The trend of the nomination list also proves the speculations of film critics. "Love Crazy" and "I Against Cancer" have both become representatives of independent films during this year's awards season, and have begun to seize people's attention.

Following last year, during this year's awards season, Lanli once again became the focus of attention: Can Lanli win the Oscar nomination for the second consecutive year? Can Lanli break the age shackles and further win the trophy? What is Lanli's prospects for the awards season? Is Lanli's prospects for this year's awards season clearer or dimmer?

At this moment, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association just released the list of nominations for the 69th Golden Globes.
