Before we knew it, movie lovers like Guy and Philip are increasingly projecting their attention to the work "Crazy Max 4"~щ~~lā

As the media said, this is not a series that makes people tremble. The cult style of swordsmanship is doomed to the narrowness and limitations of the audience. Only a small number of independent film enthusiasts will pay attention. What’s more fatal is that nearly twenty years have passed since the "Mad Max" series. The enthusiasts at that time have grown up. Whether they still love movies and still have the fanaticism about cult movies is no one knows.

Therefore, when Chaos Film announced that Lance's latest work was "Mad Max 4", the attention it attracted was more questioning, confusion and ridicule, just like gossip news that attracted people to talk about; in the eyes of ordinary audiences, it was just an interesting story after dinner, a topic of conversation and a gimmick, and no one would pay further attention to it.

But now, the situation is quietly changing. First, car enthusiasts, their enthusiasm for cars has easily infected many people - especially men. Chaos Pictures currently announced vehicles include a large number of classic sports car models, and then rearranged and combined to create a cooler car, which is really exciting.

If it is just a car, it is still very niche and difficult to spread in large quantities. However, when cars and movies are combined with "topic character" Lance, the energy generated cannot be underestimated. So, next is Lance's fans. When they find that each car may represent a style, a personality, or even a character, online discussions are completely ignited.

If the director of "Mad Max 4" is someone else, the possibility of such bold speculation will be much lower, but the object of their discussion is Lance, who created the "City of Sin" and Lance, who created the Crime Trilogy, then everything becomes possible and is likely to evolve into reality. People's trust in Lance, expectations for Lance, and worship of Lance, made the topic ferment further, so fanatical film lovers also began to join the discussion.

Every Friday at 5pm, and extends forty-eight hours from now on. The Internet boom has formed a pattern, sparking more and more discussions in a vigorous manner. After Monday, this heat wave left the Internet and extended into life, becoming a hot topic in people's mouth.

It is faintly vaguely that "Mad Max 4" is leaving the category of cult movies and permeating into popular life bit by bit. However, it is worth discussing how much of this discussion can be converted into a real box office. However, it is certain that even if Lance is isolated from the world on the African continent, he is still a well-deserved popular figure.

With the first ray of sunshine shining on the North American continent in 2006, it officially entered history in 2005. This year is generally considered the Little Year of the Movie, because no work in North America has exceeded the 400 million threshold, and many expensive works have not achieved the expected results and have even encountered Waterloo. However, in the midst of a sluggish downturn, many new atmospheres have emerged in the film market!

Among them, Chaos Film, represented by Lance, is undoubtedly a highly-watched object.

The year-end box office champion of North America was taken away by "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith", which is almost a suspenseless result. As the final work of the prequel trilogy of the series, it was considered the most powerful candidate for the annual box office champion before it was released. The influence of the six films in the series on North American history and culture has vaguely exceeded that of "Raiders of the Lost Ark". The impact of the prequel trilogy on the new generation will give birth to a new cycle. Despite this, the box office of 380 million is still lower than expected, and the reputation of the work is far from reaching the height of the "Star Wars" series, which is a small regret.

On this list, "Legend of Narnia", "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", "World War", "King Kong", "Wedding Proud", "City of Sin", "Charlie and Chocolate Factory", "Batman Prequel: The Mystery of the Shadow", and "Madagascar" occupy the remaining nine places in the top ten respectively.

Except for the North American box office data of "Madagascar" that ended up at 193 million, the box office of the other nine works has exceeded the 200 million threshold, which has made great progress compared to last year, but it is hard to say a surprise.

"Legend of Narnia" invested 180 million, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" invested 150 million, "World War" spent 130 million, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" cost as high as 150 million, and "King Kong" even burned Universal Pictures' 207 million cost. This still does not include publicity costs and public relations costs, but even the highest-ranked "Legend of Narnia" only achieved a box office of 290 million North American, far from meeting Disney's expected results, let alone the pitiful 218 million "King Kong".

These works have one thing in common, that is, they are all paying attention. Whether from the perspective of investment, publicity, or cast lineup, these works have attracted countless attention during the project establishment stage. People are looking forward to them being able to ignite the box office and push the 2005 film market to a new height, but the result is quite disappointing. Not only did the box office in North America not be able to make a big hit, but even the global box office is far lower than expected.

In addition to the unshakable fan base of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", several other works have suffered losses to varying degrees. The worst is "King Kong". This work is swayed by Peter Jackson's halo and can be said to be the most anticipated box office bomb at the end of the year, but it turned out to be a dud. It only achieved 550 million US dollars worldwide, resulting in Universal Pictures losing more than 80 million - this is just the result of preliminary statistics. Lang Meyer was directly angry and internally injured, but he couldn't say anything about it.

The same is true for "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith". With its reputation, the box office has not reached its expectations. This has become a common phenomenon in 2005, not to mention the "Sahara Desert", "Dynasty of the Heavenly Kingdom", "Chicken Run", "Operation Smith" and other works with terrible box office results.

Full of expectations and disappointment, this seems to have become a common phenomenon in the film market in 2005. Even if it is ranked among the top ten in the year-end box office rankings in North America, it still cannot conceal this fact. However, not all works are disappointing. On the contrary, in the midst of a slump, there are still many highlights that ignited the film market in 2005.

The first to bear the brunt are undoubtedly classic cases of making big profits, "Wedding Proud" and "City of Sin". Both works cost 40 million US dollars, and both achieved a box office of 200 million in the North American market. The former's final box office was 209 million, while the latter lagged less than one million US dollars, followed closely with 208 million. Both works achieved incredible success and became the biggest highlight of the year.

The comedy movies represented by "Wedding Proud" have achieved a really good record this year. In addition to this work with a box office of 200 million yuan, works such as "Madagascar", "the rival of the nation", "the longest code", "the old virgin at the age of 40" have all crossed the threshold of 100 million, bringing the small cost and big returns of comedy movies to the extreme. The impressive results have really made major film companies smile.

If comedy movies always have a solid mass base in the North American market, the box office miracle of "Wedding Proud" seems to appear several times a year; then the success of the R-level crime movie "City of Sin" is incredible.

As a unique R-level movie, "City of Sin" writes an unreplicable historical record. The special image lenses and bold use of colors have opened a new door, allowing people to come into contact with a completely different new world. Such a cult work that seems to be unable to make a difference in the box office has triggered an incredible topic storm. If we only look at the topic, "City of Sin" even surpasses the power of "Star Wars Prequel 3" and leads the year-round topic list. Until the awards season at the end of the year, this work is still the focus of people's hot discussion.

Driven by strong topics, "City of Sin" not only achieved excellent box office results in North America, but also became very popular worldwide. The global box office of 424 million US dollars seems not high, but considering that the work is only 40 million costs, this result is shocking - compared with horizontally, "Wedding Aoke", whose investment costs are both 40 million, the box office of the two works is almost the same in North America, but the global box office of "City of Sin" is only 285 million, which is more than one level behind "City of Sin".

The low investment and high returns of "Sin City" have become a model sample of Hollywood. In the year-end profit report, "Sin City" defeated "Star Wars Prequel 3" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and became the most profitable work of major American film companies in 2005, which is really shocking.

Although Chaos Pictures caused widespread discussion last year with its two works "After acquired" and "Borrowing a Knife to Kill", both works are collaborating with large film companies, and not only have interests to be divided, but also the credits to be divided. Now, "City of Sin" has achieved such excellent results as the first independent production and independent release of Chaos Pictures. It is in full swing, and no one dares to underestimate the energy of this medium-sized production company.

What's more, "City of Sin" is not Chaos Pictures' only work in 2005. The emergence of "Fruit Hard Candy" is attracting the attention of the whole of Hollywood.
