Chapter 1016: Slaughterhouse

Every year, the summer file is the most suitable time to show commercial films, and the audience is also used to watching those well-made commercial productions in the summer file.
Compared with last year’s Hollywood movie New Year, this year’s North American summer holiday is a bit crowded. For Relativity Entertainment alone, the summer movies launched include "Hulk", "Transformers", "Kung Fu Panda", "Cars" And "Teddy Bear" and so on.
There are also many big productions from other companies, such as Sony Columbia Pictures’ Spider-Man 3 and Surfing Penguin, Warner Bros. and Sand Sea Entertainment’s "Dark Knight", and Paramount Pictures’ "Mission Impossible 3". "And, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and "Thirteen Arhats" by Warner Bros., "Pharaohs and Gods" by Twentieth Century Fox, "Ten Thousand Years Before History" and "The Simpsons", New Line Pictures "Rush Hour 3" by Universal Pictures, "Fake Tenjin 2" and "My Grand Gay Wedding" by Universal Pictures...
This summer file is not usually crowded, and Ronan remembers that there are many movies that will sell at the box office.
It is impossible for Relativity Entertainment to introduce more films in such a intensive summer vacation, such as "District Nine" and other low-investment films, simply put them in theaters in April.
Hollywood does not have a very clear sense of the spring season, but it is working well, and excellent films can also have a good market effect in April.
Compared with other medium and large-scale productions, the production cost of "District Nine" is only 30 million US dollars, and the promotion and promotion costs are also not very high. Moreover, due to the type of science fiction, the production of the film is far from excellent, and even a little rough , Face the competition of those first-line big productions, there may be unexpected situations.
The goals of first-line commercial production are all set in the summer. There are no very competitive films in April. Among them, the ones that are really competitive are the two films of Relativity Entertainment "Human Skin Inn 2" and "Ninth District". "Rear Window" in the middle of the film.
This film was produced and distributed by Paramount Pictures, starring Shia LaBeouf, his godson who Spielberg highly recommended to Ronan several times.
There is only one film released on a large scale at the same time as "District Nine," Xin Xian Pictures' "Hidden Killing Bureau".
Although the film was joined by veteran actor Anthony Hopkins and a new generation of movie star Ryan Gosling, the niche types of court suspense subject matter are inherently less competitive.
The attention that "Hidden Killing Bureau" has aroused on the Internet is not even comparable to that of "Human Skin Inn 2."
This cult horror film was first released on the first weekend of April.
Two years ago, after the "Human Skin Inn" directed by Eli Ross, nicknamed the Big Bear, was pushed into theaters by the Embassy Pictures, it quickly became popular with many horror film lovers.
In the words of the Embassy Pictures' propaganda, Eli Ross shocked the entire Hollywood film industry with a "Human Skin Inn" that was almost completely soaked in blood and became one of the best movies of that year.
Hmm... The Internet Propaganda Department of Embassy Pictures, under Ronan's precepts and deeds, was deeply impressed by the essence of the Ministry.
However, the film itself did cause a lot of repercussions.
In a hunting ground with abusive nature as the main theme, three American girls who were traveling with backpacks were sold here and became prey. Only death is waiting for them. As for how to die, it depends on the "customer". Like it...
This has always been a scene that some American horror movie audiences love to see.
In a considerable number of American movies, the most typical feature of young Americans is that they are ignorant and have no brains. They are willing to try new things. They can go wherever there is fun. They are too self-righteous. Young people are curious. This is nothing wrong. The bad thing is that they are too easy to believe in others, so as long as they make use of what they like, there is nothing that can't fail.
When the first film was released that year, it squeezed 20 million US dollars in the box office in North America during the first weekend, becoming a typical horror film with a small popularity.
Two years later, Eli-Rose returned, and at the same time brought the sequel "Human Skin Inn 2", adding blood to the terrible story that once shocked countless people.
The unprecedented success of "Human Skin Inn" can be said to be the main reason that this sequel can be produced, but it also brings unimaginable pressure on the sequel, because no matter what the sequel is made, it will inevitably be compared. fate.
Fortunately, Eli Rose did a good job.
This type of film, as a safe way, is to steadily advance in accordance with the established success model.
Then, add some new elements as appropriate.
So the sequel is still essentially a journey of death for an American idiot youth.
The difference is that the protagonists in the second part, that is, the dead, all become women, and they are beautiful and female characters.
The woman at the center of the vortex of danger or terror has almost become the favorite of such movie lovers, and eventually evolved into a fixed pattern.
Therefore, the sequel specifically sets the gender of the victim. Girls traveling to Europe are definitely more vulnerable to abuse than the boys in the first episode of the story. This is also a change of feeling for the audience.
The sequel tells the story of three American girls who decided to take a self-guided tour at the weekend in order to relieve the troubles caused by academic pressure. The location was set in the tourist attraction Prague, but they became prey for hunting.
The girls who died during the journey fell into the of a small European town and entered the human slaughterhouse.
In Happy America, tens of thousands of people die under the gun every year, and no less than this number are stabbed to death by knives or other sharp blades.
In the movie, this became a mediocre performance.
As a result, some European perverts dismissed this: "Yanks, it's not imaginative!"
In this reopened human skin inn, Eli Ross, as a Yankee, must borrow the hands of Europeans to show his "slaughterhouse" imagination—not to mention mutilation, abuse, bloodletting, and opening. The focus of this time is to torture tools such as chains, saws, hammers, knives, thorns, drills, axes, forks, clamps, hooks...
Long, short, straight, curved, electric, manual, destructive, and less traumatic, the improved and upgraded version of slaughter is full of heart and lung crying.
The role of a weak woman who is arbitrarily slaughtered seems to be more able to release the desire to kill. Hollywood horror films that have always tested the audience's degree of endurance of impact, even when faced with a delicate woman, will not put down the butcher knife.
The small fragments of killings interspersed in the film made many fans climax.
Cut a piece of leg meat with a knife and fork and put it directly on the dinner plate for consumption. Those who were not killed were sold for the second time as a special item, all of which impacted the audience's visual tolerance.
The naked violence, the torture methods of constant renewal, the scattered limbs, the distorted body tissue... The more intense taste of the torture feast was put on the theater table!
Exotic sceneries, plasma surges, massacre dramas and black shop scenes. On the first weekend of April 2007, under the signboard of
scare bloodthirsty diehard horror fans
, the newly opened "Human Skin Inn" exhausted the audience. I can think of the torture methods that make life worse than death, and the savage and crazy killings, all the way forward.
The "plasma" accumulated for two years must be sprayed thoroughly!
There is no need for concealment. The key to selling "slaughterhouses" is audiovisual stimulation.
Heart-digging and lung-digging, liver and brain smearing, flesh and blood, and stumps and arms, while the plot and the previous work are coherently blended into a complete story, "Human Skin Inn 2" unscrupulously stimulates the audience's plasma endurance from both sides!
Perhaps, in the eyes of many professionals, this movie that is pornographic except for violence is not a real movie at all.
But this can't stop the enthusiasm of genre fans. The more disgusting and cruel, the more they like it.
These are directly reflected in the box office of "Human Skin Inn 2".
In the first weekend of the first weekend 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 US dollars, it can fully deserve the praise of the box office explosion.
Of course, the reputation of the film is a mess, and the various ratings are terribly low.
However, "Human Skin Inn 2" has won the support and recognition of the target audience in the market segment. The generous donation of these people and their pocket checks are enough to support the film's box office and even offline revenue.
"Human Skin Inn 2" opened the weekend box office list champion, driven by targeted publicity and marketing, the subsequent box office trend not only did not collapse, but rather stable.
On the second weekend of the show, Paramount Pictures' "Rear Window" won the box office title from "Human Skin Inn 2" with a start of $22.21 million.
But the latter's box office revenue of 9.98 million US dollars this weekend also pushed the total box office in North America to 36.57 million US dollars.
Due to the limited overall investment, "Renpi Inn 2", like the first one, will bring an amazing investment-return ratio for Relativity Entertainment.
Hollywood horror films have a long-standing tradition of "both big by small" ~EbookFREE.me~According to the statistics of Relativity Entertainment, horror films have the highest return on investment of all commercial genres in Hollywood, and the highest rate of return in the history of Hollywood movies. 5 out of 10 movies are horror films.
Of course, a high rate of return does not mean high profits.
Otherwise, Hollywood would not be crazy to invest in big productions that cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
"District Nine" will be interviewed in the following week, and Relativity Entertainment also expects this small-cost science fiction film to become a hit.
Because of Area 51, this sci-fi movie has attracted much attention, and countless people affected by the Area 51 conspiracy theory are waiting for the film to be released.
From the end of the 1940s to the present few decades, it has been rumored that the United States has Area 51, which is responsible for handling alien affairs. Although this news has never been officially recognized by the United States, it has spread more and more widely. It is believed that Area 51 exists. There are not so many people.
