At the end of 2019, the horror movie "A Quiet Place 2" released its first promotional poster and an advance trailer, which is scheduled to be released on March 20, 2020. In 2018, after the release of the horror film "A Quiet Place" released by Paramount,
, with its outstanding performance and rave reviews, finally earned $340 million worldwide with a small production cost of $17 million. Box office.
"A Quiet Place" has also become a successful case of winning a high box office at a small cost.
"A Quiet Place" was released in Mainland China in May 2018, and with a box office of 218 million yuan, it ranked 55th in the 2018 Mainland movie box office rankings.
When a movie called "Escape from the Dead" was released in 2019, it caused a lot of controversy because it was also a horror movie, and the plot was similar to "A Quiet Place"!
Many viewers who have watched "A Quiet Place" earlier shouted that "Escape from the Dead" is a movie that copied "Quiet Place"!
In fact, these two films are adapted from the award-winning horror novel "Dead Silence" by the famous writer Tim Leyburn. Both films of
have undergone a large-scale adaptation of the plot, but "Deadly Escape" is very smart and innovative. In the movie
, the original behemoth unknown monster is changed into a bat bee flying out of an underground cave, but the damage is not weak at all.
Regarding the "silent fear" atmosphere created in the novel, the film also creates an appropriate atmosphere, and the protagonist's daughter in the film is still deaf and mute.
is just that compared to "A Quiet Place", a large number of people-to-person conflict scenes have been added to the second half of "Quiet Escape", a creative cult organization, which is a big egg in the film.
And in the second half of the film, the theme of the film has also shifted from the conflict between humans and monsters to the ugly contest of human nature, which is also the place where the realm of the film is higher than that of "A Quiet Place".
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to say that "Silence Escape" plagiarizes "Silent Place"!
It’s just a pity that "Quiet Place" is ahead of the release of "Dead Escape" and released the trailer, so Weinstein Pictures, the publisher of "Dead Escape", had to shelve the release time and eventually cooperated with the famous streaming media giant NETFLIX. In North America, the network broadcasting method was directly adopted.
In this way, the impact on the film's box office revenue is huge.
After "Deadly Escape" was released in mainland China, the response was also very cold. It only won a poor box office of 9.79 million yuan, which is a world apart from "A Quiet Place".
