725 In the limelight

The media comprehensive reviews of forty media outlets for "Fruit Hard Candy" reached 78 points. Strictly speaking, this score is not high and cannot be compared with "killing with a knife". It is just a point higher than "City of Sin". Moreover, this is not a commercial film, it is an art work, and such a score seems to declare it absent from awards season. But no one should forget that this is a thriller movie, and critics are always more harsh and stricter.

In the history of film, famous thriller movies are generally not well-rated in media. "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural Sense", 64 points; "Shirt", 61 points; "Exorcist", 82 points; "Alien", 83 points. The main reason is that the core theme of horror movies is frightening. It is difficult to explore human nature and the theme while creating fear effects, let alone have to be difficult to complete the story and characters. Among them, "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural Sense" and "Exorcist" are the second of only four thriller and horror works in the history of film that won the Oscar for Best Review nomination.

It is worth mentioning that many film critics compare "fruit hard candies" with "clockwire orange", and the latter's media comprehensive review is 78 points.

It can be seen that "Fruit Hard Candy" is an important position in the minds of professional film critics, especially considering the average effect brought by the two extreme reactions, the media comprehensive review can still reach 78 points, which is really impressive. This also makes people realize that the love-hate interweaving of "New Yorker" and "Chicago Tribune" and other comments are not only not to discount the quality of the movie, but also to be direct evidence of the excellent movie. With curiosity, more and more people are beginning to hope to enter the cinema to appreciate this cult work with a sharp edge.

As a result, the box office of "Fruit Hard Candy" once again became the focus of attention.

Three days on the weekend, this unique work actually received $1.05 million in box office data, and it ranked among the top 15 weekend box offices like a rocket, ranking high in the 14th place. This is also the only work among the top 50 works on this week's list, which is still in single digits. What's even more incredible is that the single-stage box office of 150,000 once again shocked everyone's eyes.

For the first time, two theaters have a single-story box office of 168,000; for seven theaters have a single-story box office of 150,000. Such an outstanding box office performance does not require any further comment. Just a set of data, you can clearly feel the enthusiastic pursuit of "Fruit Hard Candy" since the preview, especially Chaos Pictures' "Hungry Marketing", coupled with the fanning of media comprehensive reviews, the hot comments from netizens have fueled the fire, making this work a well-deserved focus king in the past two weeks.

Even "Saw 2", which won the weekend box office championship with 30 million this week, is overshadowed. You know, this work only invested $4 million in low-cost, swept 30 million on the weekend of its debut, and its profitability is amazing. It really pushed this thriller series to everyone. The production and distribution company Lionsgate Pictures also appeared in front of North American audiences for the first time. However, compared to "Fruit Hard Candy", "Saw 2" is still unmatched.

With the promotion of the preview for two weeks, the heat of discussion on "hard fruit candy" began to spread, and more and more viewers joined the discussion, including the news media, unwilling to be lonely to express their opinions, as if all the questions had been cleared away.

Behind the excellent script of "Good Night, Good Luck", Lans is the biggest contributor. Not only because of the first draft of the script circulating on the Internet, it confirms that this version of the script is closest to the final release; it also makes it clear that the solid and profound foundation of "Fruit Hard Candy" can be felt clearly in the dialogue lines, and the neat and fullness of the characters left a deep impression. As a screenwriter, after "City of God" and "Killing with a knife", Lance once again proved his ability.

The unsolved case of "Good night, good luck" seems to have finally settled, but no one is willing to mention this work at this moment. Not only because Lance almost refused to mention it in public, a reporter asked Lance about related questions after the preview of "Fruit Hard Candy", but Lance changed the topic and avoided the reply. It can be seen that on the surface, the friendship between Lance and George can never be returned in private. It is also because of such an excellent work that was involved in the scandal of plagiarism and plagiarism. People are so enthusiastic about George's praise, and the humiliation and shame are now surging. It seems that mentioning this work just makes oneself more embarrassed.

Before we knew it, "fruit hard candies" have replaced "good night, good luck" and have become the focus of people's most attention recently. As for "good night, good luck", thick dust slowly fell and gradually disappeared into the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. No one can know when the light of day will be seen again.

On the other hand, "Crazy Max 4" has once again surfaced. "Fruit Hard Candy" is not just a detour. It can be said to have broken the speculation and plans of all Hollywood genres and emerged in a completely opposite way. However, the depth of this work is closer to the crime trilogy. This makes people wonder whether "Crazy Max 4" will bring new vitality in the lens of Lance, presenting a maverick and outstanding work in a way that goes against the "acquired day", and then bringing an unparalleled shock again?

Just a week ago, people were questioning that Lance chose "Mad Max 4" as a crazy decision that lost his mind; but now, people are beginning to hesitate. Is this really the case? Lance, who seems to be wandering on the edge of his personality and repeatedly making amazing adventures, is it always able to fight back with practical actions. This is the case with "City of God", "Killing people by borrowing a knife", "City of Sin", "Fruit Hard Candy", and... This is the case with "Mad Max 4"?

The "hard fruit candy" that was in full swing has caused those sure-fire remarks to begin to shake, not only because of the fanaticism of the media's comprehensive reviews, but also because the audience's fanaticism about the single-stage studio next week was step by step beyond the media's expectations.

The discussions have been rising all the way above imdb and rotten tomatoes. The former scored more than 3,000 people, and the latter also had as many as 169 mass media commented. This was just an achievement after the preview of only seven theaters. Even if it was not inferior to the premiere weekend of summer blockbusters, it was not inferior to the premiere weekend of summer blockbusters. More importantly, the results presented were also very gratifying.

Imdb's rating has reached 8:30, and it has entered the top 100 of the 250 film classics. This is also the third time that Lance's directed works have reached such a height after "City of God" and "City of Sin". Although the scores will inevitably change with the increase in the number of ratings, the current position of 89 has still caused a lot of calls, especially considering the intertwined nature of this work, which is even more rare.

The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes also reached 74%, and the mass media score reached 7.2 in the full score of ten. Such an evaluation was almost the same as the media comprehensive evaluation; the popcorn index reached an astonishing 84%, which was a huge surprise. After such tormented viewing, so many viewers thought this work was worth watching and gave recommendations, even surpassing the popcorn index after the premiere weekend of "Sin City"!

As for the scores of theaters, there are currently only seven theaters on pre-screenings, and the data does not have much reference value, so it has not been announced yet. However, Landmark Cinema said that judging from the current statistical data, the audience's reaction information is basically consistent with the media and netizens.

From any perspective, this hateful but lovely work made a brilliant debut with a proud attitude. This made people involuntarily think of Lance himself. "You can only avoid falling in love with him by completely disgusting him." This is a comment from the New York Times. Lance is always like this, which makes people grit their teeth, but no one can reject him. Even though he knows it is a nightmare, he still enjoys it.

This is true for Lance, and so is “hard fruit candy”.

The box office performance of "Fruit Hard Candy" in the next week also proved this. It not only achieved good results in the weekend box office, but also the outstanding performance of mid-week box office has also become the most important auxiliary evidence. The cult work has accumulated a box office of 2.8 million US dollars in two weeks. Before the expansion has begun, the movie has successfully recovered its costs and will officially enter the profit stage next week.

Although the investment cost of "Fruit Hard Candy" is only 900,000, with the blessing of the name "Lancelot-Stralo", the recycling cost is not a problem at all; however, within the time frame of pre-screening for two weeks, the movie actually completed this feat, which is not only shocking, but can even be called a myth.

People always complain that "Fruit Hard Candy" will become the worst box office work for Lance so far, and are worried that this work will become the turning point for Zhongyong; but people suddenly discovered that "Fruit Hard Candy" is likely to become the work with the highest return rate at Lance so far, recovering costs during preview and achieving profit explosion during the expansion period. Judging from the enthusiasm of current film critics, audiences, and netizens, it seems that the box office of 20 million in North America is not any problem at all, and such profitability is really shocking.
