Every year, the summer season is the most suitable time period for commercial film screenings, and audiences are used to watching well-made commercial productions during the summer season.

Compared with last year's Hollywood movie Little New Year, this year's North American summer season seems a bit crowded. Just relativity entertainment, the summer films launched include "Hulk", "Transformers", "Kung Fu Panda", "Car Story" and "Teddy Bear", etc.

There are also many big productions from other companies, such as Sony Columbia Pictures' Spider-Man 3 and Surf Penguin, Warner Bros.'s Dark Knights with Sand Sea Entertainment, Paramount Pictures' Mission Impossible 3 and Warner Bros.'s Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and the Thirteen Arhats, Twentieth Century Fox's Pharaoh and the Gods, Ten Thousand Years of Prehistoric and The Simpsons, New Line Films' "Pluck Hour 3", Universal Pictures' "Fake God 2" and "My Grand Gay Wedding"...

This summer season is not very crowded, and there are many movies that will be sold at the box office in Ronan alone.

Relativity Entertainment cannot launch more films in such a intensive summer season. Films with lower investment such as "The Ninth District" will simply be released in April.

Hollywood does not have a very clear appreciation for the spring season now, but if it works well, excellent videos can also have a good market effect in April.

Compared with other medium and large productions, the production cost of "The Ninth District" is only US$30 million, and the promotion cost is not very high. Moreover, due to the science fiction type, the production of the film is far from being excellent, and even a bit rough. Facing the competition of those first-line productions, unexpected situations may occur.

The goal of first-tier commercial productions is all set for the summer season. There are no very competitive films in April. Among them, the truly competitive one is "The Back Window Shock", which is sandwiched between the two films of Relativity Entertainment "Human Skin Inn 2" and "The Ninth District".

The film was produced and released by Paramount Pictures, starring Spielberg's godson Shia LaBeouf, whom he strongly recommended to Ronan several times.

There is only one large-scale release of "The Ninth District" in the same period as "The Ninth District", "The Legend of the Concubine".

Although the film is joined by veteran actor Anthony Hopkins and the new generation of movie star Ryan Gosling, the niche type of court suspense is inherently lacking in competitiveness.

The attention "The Legend of the Concubine" has attracted even less than "Human Skin Inn 2".

The cult horror movie was first released in April on its first weekend.

Two years ago, "The Inn" directed by Eli Ross, nicknamed Big Bear, was quickly welcomed by a lot of horror movie fans after being pushed into theaters by the Embassy Film Company.

In the words of Embassy Films when it was promoted, Eli Ross shocked the entire Hollywood film industry with a "Human Skin Inn" that was almost completely soaked in blood, becoming one of the best movies of that year.

Well... The online publicity department of the Embassy Film Industry was deeply shocked by Ronan's words and deeds.

However, the film itself has caused quite a response.

In a hunting ground with abusive nature, three American second-hand girls who were traveling with backpacks were sold here and became prey. All they had to wait for were death. As for how to die, they had to rely on the preferences of "customers" to become...

This has always been a scene that some American horror movie audiences like.

In a considerable number of American movies, the most typical characteristic of young Americans is ignorance and brainlessness. They are willing to try new things and go wherever there is fun. They are too self-righteous - young people are curious, and this is understandable. The bad thing is that they are too easy to believe in others. As long as they use their preferences and make some use of them, there is nothing they can't take the bait.

When the first film was released that year, it swept away $20 million in North America on its first weekend, becoming a typical horror film that makes a big fortune.

Two years later, Eli Ross is back and brings the sequel "The Inn 2", adding blood to the terrible story that once shocked countless people.

"The Inn" exceeded expectations and was unprecedentedly successful. It can be said that this sequel can be produced, but it also brought unimaginable pressure to the sequel, because no matter what the sequel is produced, it will inevitably be destined to be taken out for comparison.

Fortunately, Eli Ross did a good job.

As a safe way, this type of film is to proceed steadily according to the established success model.

Then, add a little new element appropriately.

So the sequel is essentially still a death-ridden journey for American idiots.

The difference is that the protagonists in the second part, that is, the second-hand man, have all become women, and they are beautiful and sexy female characters.

Women at the center of a whirlpool of danger or horror have almost become a favorite among such movie lovers and eventually evolved into a fixed pattern.

Therefore, the sequel specially sets the gender of the victims this time. When girls travel to Europe, they will definitely be more susceptible to infringement than the boys in the first episode story. This is also a change to enhance the feeling for the audience.

The sequel tells the story of three American girls who decided to take a self-guided tour on the weekend in order to relieve the troubles caused by academic pressure. The location was set in the tourist resort Prague, but it became a prey for people to hunt.

These girls who were dying on the journey once again fell into the hell of a small European town and entered the human slaughterhouse.

In happy America, tens of thousands of people die under the gun every year, no less than this number of people are stabbed to death by knives or other sharp blades.

Put it in the movie, this becomes a manifestation of mediocrity.

So, some European perverts looked down on this: "Americans, I really have no imagination!"

In this reopened human skin inn, Eli Ross, as an American, was going to use the hands of Europeans to show his imagination of "slaughterhouse" not to mention broken limbs, abuse, bloodletting, rifting, and broken belly. The focus of this time was on torture tools, chains, saws, hammers, knives, stabs, drills, axes, forks, clips, hooks...

Long, short, straight, curved, electric, manual, with high destructive power and small trauma. The improved and upgraded version of the slaughter hell is full of heart-wrenching crying.

The weak female characters who are slaughtered at will seem to be able to release their desire to kill. Hollywood horror movies that have always tested the extent of the audience's endurance of bloody shocks will not put down the butcher knife in their hands even when facing the delicate women.

Several small clips of killing interspersed in the film made many fans climax.

Cut a piece of meat on the legs with a knife and fork and put it directly on the plate to eat. Those who were not killed were sold as special products for the second time, etc., all of which impacted the audience's visual tolerance.

The naked violence, the constantly renovated torture methods, the scattered limbs, the twisted body tissue... The more intense the taste, the torture and killing meal was put on the theater table!

Exotic style, plasma tide, torture and killing dramas and black shop storm. On the first weekend of April 2007, with the sign of "scaring bloodthirsty diehard movie fans", the newly opened "Human Skin Inn" uses all the torture methods that make people's lives worse than death that the audience can think of, and kills them wildly and crazyly, moving forward bravely.

The "plasma" that has been accumulated for two years must be sprayed thoroughly!

There is no need for concealing implicitness. The key to selling "slaughterhouses" is audio-visual stimulation.

The heart is dug, the liver and brain are covered with the ground, the flesh and blood are flying everywhere, and the broken limbs and arms are broken. While the plot and the previous work are coherently integrated into a complete story, "Human Skin Inn 2" unscrupulously stimulates the audience's plasma tolerance from both sides of the body and mind!

Perhaps, in the eyes of many professionals, this film, which is apart from violence and pornography, is not considered a real movie at all.

But this cannot stop the enthusiasm of genre film enthusiasts. The more disgusting and cruel they like it.

These are directly reflected in the box office of "Human Skin Inn 2".

On the first weekend of painting in North America, this typical plasma horror film won $21.25 million in nearly 3,000 theaters in North America.

Compared with the production cost of $6 million, it is worthy of the box office hit.

Of course, the reputation of the film is so terrible that all kinds of scores are terrible.

However, "Human Skin Inn 2" has won the support and recognition of the target audience in the segmented market. The generous donation of these people and the checks that took out their pockets were enough to support the box office of the film and even offline revenue.

"Human Skin Inn 2" opened the weekend box office champion. Driven by targeted publicity and marketing, the subsequent box office trend not only did not collapse, but was relatively stable.

On the second weekend of its release, Paramount Pictures' "Rear Window Fright" snatched the box office champion from "Human Skin Inn 2" with a $22.21 million painting record.

But the latter's box office revenue of $9.98 million the following weekend also pushed the total box office of North America to $36.57 million.

Due to the limited overall investment, "Human Skin Inn 2" will bring an amazing investment income ratio to Relativity Entertainment, just like the first part.

Hollywood horror films have long had the tradition of "making big with small profits". According to statistics from Relativity Entertainment, horror films have the highest return on investment among all commercial films in Hollywood. Previously, 5 of the 10 films with the highest return on investment in Hollywood history were horror films.

Of course, a high return does not mean a high profit.

Otherwise Hollywood wouldn't have invested in big productions that cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

"The Ninth District" will be interviewed in the following week, and Relativity Entertainment also hopes that this small-budget science fiction film can become a hit.

Because of the relationship between District 51, this science fiction film has attracted much attention, and countless people who have been influenced by District 51 conspiracy theories are waiting for the release of this film.
