Compared to Hugo's previous works." Before Sunrise" box office trend even no matter how good it is. There is still a lack of surprises. Copy this address to view %77%77%77%2e%73%68%75%68%61%68%61%2e%63%6f%6d." "Speed of Life and Death" and "Vulgar" easily brought their cumulative box office to $100 million and hit $200 million. So that's a comparison." Before Sunrise" is really not worth mentioning.

But in fact. Both Columbia Pictures and DreamWorks were pleased with the box office performance of "Before Sunrise."

"Before Sunrise" after a steady rise in the first five weeks. The scale of the 890-room cinema chain lasted another three weeks. It lasted for a total of five weeks. The next three weeks saw box office declines of 16 percent, 5 percent and 14 percent, respectively. Such a box office trajectory is enough to ⊥ any art film to cheer. It is also enough to ⊥ any film company to have more confidence in the work

Then face the torrent of Oscar. The "before sunrise" trend, which is not the same, is still stable. Although this work missed the registration time for this edition of the Oscars. But the popularity of the annual Oscars had a positive effect on "Before Sunrise": audiences were willing to flock to the cinema to see the films that won awards or were nominated at the awards ceremony. And "Before Sunrise", which won the Silver Bear for Best Director in Berlin not long ago, was accompanied by an enduring wave of praise from critics and audiences. Benefit.

Influenced by the Oscars. The box office of the theater chain began to gradually recycle "before sunrise", but there was a slight recovery. Although the climb is not huge. But it's still outstanding. For up to three weeks, the box office was in the form of a green climbing percentage.

With the elongation of the release time. Audience feedback is also getting richer." Before Sunrise" also faced a truly serious test for a work so strong in its realism: for many viewers. It's just a boring work. No matter how much the critics praise it. Even if there are many praises from Wenqing. They don't like it, they don't like it.

So. This also essentially limits the box office of "Before Sunrise" to a super explosion similar to "Sleepless in Seattle". Story. That's the core factor. The lack of storytelling "Before Sunrise" is a lullaby for many. There is nothing to see.

Twelve weeks after the release." Before sunrise" is subject to its own literary attributes. The theater chain further recovered to less than 500 rooms. It was screened in more than 380 theaters. And it is still being gradually reduced.

The final "Before Sunrise" was released for a total of sixteen weeks. It was announced that it was offline. This cycle is well below the regular twenty-two weeks or so. But compared to many art films that were released for only one month, they went offline. This is especially true for entries that don't have any results during awards season. They can only hope for word-of-mouth circulation in the videotape market. It's a comparison." Before Sunrise" is a very "long-lived" screening cycle.

After the screening." Before Sunrise" in North America's final cumulative box office. Ended with $32 million. Very gratifying results have been achieved

For Columbia Pictures. It's definitely a good deal. The million dollar royalty is a bit higher though. But the rewards are huge – not to mention. Since then, film and video tapes have been put on the market. There will also be a significant income. It's not just a no-loss trade. It is also a trade that achieves a large profit.

The same is true for DreamWorks. $2.5 million investment. In the end, it was $32 million at the box office -- and $1 million in royalties. Of course, the subsequent revenue from the rental of the videotape will also be shared with DreamWorks. It's definitely a smart investment.

Although the $32 million box office will be divided between Columbia Pictures, DreamWorks and theatrical chains. Of course, the proportion of profits is not as good as the "speed of life and death" of exchanging 28 million for 239 million dollars, and still less is it comparable to the "vulgarity" of 8 million dollars and 172 million dollars. In the case of the Chicago Tribune believing that seven million dollars is the limit." Before sunrise "completed the jump from two and a half million dollars to three two million dollars. A twelve-fold profit ratio is enough to ⊥ everyone smile

This also continued the wave of independent films set off by "vulgarity" again. Overnight. The Sundance Film Festival's national influence has risen by two notches. Maybe next year's Park City will start to come alive.

Not to mention the applause of "before sunrise" these days. The Silver Bear for Best Director at the Berlin Film Festival is just the beginning. If it works well next. Heading into the year-end awards ceremony." Before sunrise" may not be impossible to occupy a place. At that time, there will inevitably be a new round of profits.

An interesting contrast can be made. In later generations, it was regarded as the classic "The Shawshank Redemption" by countless people, and the final North American box office was 28 million. And the box office of "Before Sunrise" is 32 million. It must be pointed out that . The former costs twenty-five million. The cost of the latter is only one-tenth of the former.

This can be seen from this comparison. Art cinema struggles in North America – Europe is paradise. But it also didn't have a box office. Against this backdrop." Before sunrise" created such a good result. It's really not easy. Not to mention the ultra-low cost and near-zero publicity cost. Also let the film before it gets the award. It has achieved profitability for film production companies and distribution companies. The difficulty is no less than that of a "vulgar" achievement.

No matter which way you look at it." Before Sunrise" is a triumphant work.

If the success of "Before Sunrise" stops there. Then it can only be said that it is a commendable victory. With Hugo's previous miracle of creating zào. It's not something to celebrate. But then. Columbia Pictures in the second half of 1995. "Before Sunrise" was also scheduled to be screened in 27 countries and regions around the world. Due to the artistic attributes of the film's coldness. The pace of global screenings is very cautious. Naturally, it is not as large as many commercial films in fifty countries. But even so." "Before sunrise" in the overseas market is also enough to impress.

"Before Sunrise" grossed $53 million in 27 countries. This number far exceeds the box office number in North America.

If you read the map of the global box office distribution of "Before Sunrise". Not to be found. The European market has clearly given the most enthusiastic response. Among them, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy are the three most outstanding places in the overseas market. Sweden, Germany, Poland and Spain are also very good.

The art film market in these countries is already very mature. Although their base is far inferior to that of the United States. But the audience still gave the greatest support to "Before Sunrise". Especially in the past two years, Hugo, who has frequently produced masterpieces, has become the biggest signboard of the movie. This created the brilliance of the overseas market "before sunrise".

And so it goes." Before Sunrise" went on to a global box office of $85 million. So one compares the cost of two and a half million. It's even more commendable. Columbia Pictures, in particular, has its own distribution network all over the world. So they don't need to divide a part of the interests. Leave it to a local distribution company to carry out the distribution work. This made Columbia Pictures another profit.

That's where the distribution department comes in. Many small distribution companies do not have a network overseas. When the work is delivered for overseas distribution. Often, about 80% of the box office dividends must be handed over to local distribution companies. I can only get a pitiful fraction of it. That's why people say. Only really big studios will count the overseas box office. Most small companies are already snickering if they can issue overseas. Their hope for overseas issuance is not dividends. It's about expanding the influence. Paving the way for future growth.

"Before Sunrise" once again achieved Hugo's feat of small and big. And it also set an incredible record. Since "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman". All of Hugo's works have been profitable at the box office - note. Videotapes are not included. The box office alone is profitable. This is also the best footnote to Hugo's box office appeal now:

Even if it's a cold art film. The box office also came to an incredible 85 million.

There was a storm over Hugo's salary last year. And with the appearance of each work. The desire for Hugo from major studios is only getting stronger. In the "20 million salary" "big win. And then there is the low-key victory "before sunrise". These two heavy weights are enough to ⊥ Hugo to become the undisputed first person in Hollywood today

At the end of the 19uu year. That is, eighteen months after the end of the screening "Before Sunrise". One media outlet published a set of numbers jù. which was very interesting, but it didn't attract much attention.

"Before Sunrise" after it was put on the videotape market. In just one year, it has made a profit of nearly three million US dollars. This profit is shared with the video rental shop. But it's pure profit. That is, additional income in addition to the box office. This income actually exceeds the cost of "before sunrise". It's really a pretty amazing table.

From here, it can also be seen that "before sunrise" is popular among a specific group of people. And rely on the wide dissemination of videotapes. Accumulated a large number of fans.

But. Although the profit of three million dollars is a lot compared to "before sunrise". But it's a drop in the bucket in the entire videotape rental market. So it didn't spark much discussion. It's just that people with a heart can still detect it." Before Sunrise "This work is not visible between the mountains and the water. Just made so much money for Columbia Pictures. It is really a typical representative of making a fortune in a muffled voice.

Columbia Pictures made a good deal with a million dollars.

From two and a half million to eighty-five million." Before sunrise, "achieved an excellent result that made many people applaud; But from another point of view. Colin Mailer finally had the counter-attack opportunity he had always dreamed of. Thereupon. In an instant." The New York Post "can't wait to increase the power of the whole repression. Because this is after the New York Post officially confronted Hugo." The New York Post "For the first time, it was able to gain the upper hand in a real sense.

Even this so-called "true meaning" seems to be in quotation marks. But there's no denying it. This time Colin finally found a good opportunity. He won't miss it...... ）.
