Chapter 968： Jigsaw is also a disease
As of this week, the three releases of "Chain Saw" have earned more than $500 million in box office worldwide, and their related DVD products have sold more than 26 million sets.
This series of movies, in addition to "Reaper Is Coming" and "Human Elimination Project", continues to help Relativity Entertainment to take the lead in the field of horror movies. It is well-deserved No.1 from the early stage theater promotion to the later DVD consumer products. .
Excluding rental, 26 million DVDs sold alone can bring more than 200 million US dollars in net profit to Relativity Entertainment.
With the continuous release of sequels, this number will continue to increase.
The sequel can effectively pull the offline data of the previous movies, and the corresponding sequel is the rising production cost of the sequel.
To this day, the production cost of the "Chain Saw" series has risen from the first 1.5 million US dollars to the fourth 8 million US dollars.
But this series of revenue is worthy of its rising costs.
Some films are famous and earn very little income.
Such as "This man comes from the earth".
Relativity Entertainment bought out the film at a low price and entered the cinema market with only a short one-week tour. Because of the lack of viewers, it was forced to go down the stage. The North American box office totaled 1,614 US dollars.
Fortunately, there are offline channels.
Under the praise of a group of movie fans with unique tastes, "This Man Comes From Earth" has become a masterpiece among certain niche groups, and offline DVD sales and rentals have improved.
Of course, it’s easy for anyone with a bit of a brain to judge that this kind of film cannot have the false data that has been blown up by the flatterers on the other side of the Pacific.
Embassy Pictures has been operating offline for nearly half a year. The DVD of "This Man Comes From Earth" has sold more than 30,000 sets, and the rental income is roughly $400,000.
Compared with the cost, the investment-to-income ratio is also amazing, but it is basically impossible to get rich with this kind of film.
The "Chain Saw Fright" series is much more reliable, but behind its explosive income is the publicity and distribution investment that far exceeds the cost of each film.
By the fourth installment, the total investment of Embassy Pictures in global publicity is as high as 12 million US dollars.
Behind every small-cost high-selling film, there is a huge amount of publicity, marketing and distribution expenses that people can't ignore.
Fortunately, the investment in "Chain Saw" is worth the money.
"Chainsaw 4" was opened in North America for three days on the weekend. Among 3456 theaters, it took 35.75 million US dollars to beat the Halloween schedule of "Magic Heights" and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and other films. Topped the North American box office rankings.
"Fatal Magic" released by Embassy Pictures did not win the box office chart, but "Chain Saw 4" did not disappoint.
On the same weekend, "Chain Saw 4" was also drawn in countries and regions where Halloween is popular, such as Latin America, Europe and Australia. Due to the continuous influence of the first three films, the fourth film also received quite a good overseas response.
In the first weekend overseas, this horror film has a total of 42.1 million US dollars in more than 30 markets.
In fact, on the first weekend of the show, Relativity Entertainment has recovered all its investment in "Chain Saw 4" and even has a surplus.
A movie that can quickly make a profit is always a good movie for a film company.
Even if the reputation is declining.
The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes in this "Saw Cry 4" is only 20%, and even the IMDB score dropped to a failing 5.9 score for the first time.
For a patterned plasma horror movie, this is an unavoidable result.
From the first divine work to the increasingly bad reputation in the back, let alone Wen Ziren's departure from this series of director positions, even if Wen Ziren continues to serve as the director, this situation cannot be changed.
From the perspective of film companies, they do not want to change the inherent success model of the series. Just like classic horror characters such as Jason, Freddy and Michael Myers, Hollywood has been filmed for decades, and it has been over and over again Following the initial successful model.
Facts have also proved that this is the safest way to make money.
This kind of modular operation can be applied to the "Chain Saw" series.
said in the words of this series of fans: "If you have watched the first three, no matter what I say, you will definitely go to the fourth!"
"Chain Saw 4" mainly explains the past and present of the chainsaw, and the ex-wife is also compiled. It can only be said that the plot is reasonable, but it is definitely not thought-provoking. There are also moral factors, but not much stronger.
The film has two main features.
First of all, in some ways, jigsaw is also a disease.
The power of this virus is that it infects people invisible. As long as they are infected by the ideology of the chainsaw, their lives will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Next is plasma, more plasma.
The plasma used in the fourth filming is nearly twice that of the third. The subsequent sequels will also take the **** road to the end, so if you are good, you will not be disappointed.
After filming the fourth part, even Wen Ziren can only think of ways in the jigsaw disciple and cruel and **** killing games, and the series can only be filmed according to the inherent mode.
As for whether there is a sequel later, how can Relativity Entertainment let it go?
And the film itself is well prepared for the sequel.
An open ending, and the old jigsaw is dead, countless jigsaw viruses are still multiplying, and they are infecting the human heart. This kind of story that seems to be a way for the sky, but is actually extremely abnormal, will always be liked by a large number of audiences.
Maybe all chainsaw fans will always miss the first one, and will never forget the cold hands and feet after watching it, and the feeling of waking up from a nightmare in the morning.
Wen Ziren's subsequent efforts to invest in the "Chain Saw" series will only become less and less, and the focus of his work will be fully shifted to the "Horror Cinematic Universe Project". "Latent", "Call of Souls" and "Annabel" have been included On the schedule, the former will start filming in November and will be officially released next year.
"Latent" is a beginning, and the following "Call of Souls" and "Annabelle" will further expand the whole world view, especially the world in the Warren couple's supernatural investigation report.
Looking at the supernatural investigation report of the Warrens, the world is really terrifying.
Don’t they know that since the end of the 1940s, all monsters and monsters in the world will be suppressed by iron fists?
With the box office success of "Chain Saw 4" in the first week, the arrival of the fifth part is inevitable. Shahai Entertainment quickly formulated a plan. The fifth part's production budget is still maintained at 8 million US dollars, and the director is still Darren Bao Sman will serve.
Compared to rashly launching newcomers, continuing the inherent success model is the primary factor to ensure the success of the next sequel.
After Halloween, Ronan personally went to the airport to see off the "Fast and Furious 4" crew led by Jessica Felton. For the next few days, he stayed in Shahai Entertainment's drawing room to watch the production department. The completed version of each project submitted.
2006 has reached the last two months, and 2007 is about to come. Shahai Entertainment has completed all follow-up productions for many new films, preparing for the promotion and release of Embassy Pictures next year.
From preparation to filming and post-production, "Girl", which took a full two years for David Fincher, finally completed all post-production, with Ronan, George Clint and Garcia Rodriguez. The team of people was very satisfied with the edited version submitted by David Fincher.
This is a feature film full of David Fincher black style and a peculiar alternative absurd style.
In order to match the content, style and theme of the film, Ronan and David Fincher negotiated, the film was officially renamed "Sunshine Girl" and will be officially released in North America next year, in 2007.
In addition, Ronan also gave David Fincher a suggestion to further refine the film, and strive to make the narrative rhythm more compact.
This film will also go to the European Film Festival and next year’s Hollywood Awards season to make a splash.
After finishing the "Sunshine Girl" project, David Fincher has agreed to take over the role of producer and director of the series "House of Cards". Kevin Spacey has already signed the actor contract. Just wait for the director to get there and start shooting.
Ronan hopes to film "House of Cards" before the emergence of Mi Rabbit, and push it to the Netflix streaming platform.
Kevin Spacey caused a lot of trouble, and later Netflix had to expel him from the crew.
But it’s only 2006, and Shahai Entertainment has plenty of time to complete this series.
From Kevin Spacey, Ronan thought of John Lasseter. In fact, there are a lot of rumors about John Lasseter in the Pixar studio not even a secret. The above can be said to be semi-public rumors.
Ronan also specially found time to chat with John Lasseter. John Lasseter is not a fool, and he also said he would pay attention to the way and method of work.
This can effectively avoid some troubles in the future.
Afterwards, Ronan watched the "Transformers" that Michael Bay had already edited. This super-commercial giant has some special effects shots that have not been added, but the prototype of the entire film has already been formed, which is completely a qualified Michael- Shellfish-style popcorn movie.
"Transformers" will be released in the summer archive next year.
Another super production released in the summer is "The Hulk," and Jos Weiden is still nervously making the final cut and special effects. In order to avoid Sony Columbia Pictures’ Spider-Man 3 in early May, The release date of "The Hulk" can only be pushed back.
"Thor", which will also be released next year, is currently about to start shooting, and strive to switch to post-production early next year.
There is also a work that is most important. Ronan confirmed the final edited version of "Twilight". This film only took six months to complete the shooting and post-production.
Embassy Pictures specially selected the Valentine's Day schedule for next year's "Twilight".
This is undoubtedly the most suitable schedule for this **** romance.
Entering November, the North American holiday season kicked off, and many major productions were released one after another. DreamWorks also sent Ronan an invitation to premiere.
