As a child from Minnesota once sang, "The Times, they are A-Changin." After the initial theater edition in December 2024, Bob Dylan Biopic "Complete Unknown" became available at VOD at the end of February. Then, on March 27, it was made available to be transferred to Julu for subscribers of that service. From this writing, The movie is currently number one of the top charts of FuluMaking the most watched movie of the service right now.

In general, this should not be too surprising at all. Fulu has long had links to Disney's studio and 20th century, Searchlight Pictures' parent companies, which distribute "completely unknown", and most releases of the 20th century/Searchlight are going well for the service as a result. In addition, the film was very buzzing, becoming a little candidate for dark horses during this past season of the awards. This was especially the case for the Starvala Timote, Shalamet, who won the best actor for his portrayal of Robert Allen Zimmerman Aka Bob Dylan at the Actor Actor Awards (where he gave a strong talk speech) and was nominated by several other bodies of the awards, the awards, the awards, including his second Oscar nomination. Given the power of Jalamet in pop culture, the cast of the film "Deep Belts", his appeal for a biopic period, and his central character is one of the most famous and respected musicians of all time, it is given that "completely unknown" would be a great draw.

However, the audience just reveals it after the announcement of Julu, reflects a change in the habits of vision of industry and audiences, something we are all usually aware of, but still a painful point. Although the "completely unknown" ended up pretty good for himself-he earned $ 134.8 million against the $ 50-70 million budget-it was not a hit on the box office, which is an additional proof that the audience did not appear in the movie theaters for which they ultimately end.

It is fair to say that probably no one, not even the filmmakers, did not think, and even hoped that "completely unknown" would be a "Avengers" style blockbuster. It was not designed to be, nor was it sold as such. In fact, the marketing campaign he received was the one that was based almost just about his prestige and attraction to the awards voters, which is an approach that makes sense, given how popular biopia tends to be with that group. However, it feels like most of the "completely unknown" discussion that referred to what the film could do for its roles and crew, and less about the content and attractiveness of the film itself.

Perhaps that is why a "complete unknown" failed to illuminate the box office during the initial theater release. While the film was never fully reserved, he barely missed the first 5 during his running, debuting on #4 and never reaching a higher position than that. Of course, there are many elements that are in such a performance - things that plague the entire entertainment industry and are too complex to get into detail here. It is enough to say that if the audience was better to get to know the film, there may have been more interest. If there was more interest, the film may have received a bigger release (played only in 2,835 theaters, just over half of the 4,100 theaters given by Disney "Mufasa: The King of the Lion") And it might have been a bigger hit.

The fact that "complete unknown" seems to be the original hit of Fulu supports this hypothesis, just as it confirms the disturbing truth: thanks to the reduction of theater windows, the audience is training to wait for streaming instead of catching films on the big screen.

Don't let me be a counter to Dylan-ESK, though. Overall, it is fantastic that more people discover "completely unknown". The film is a sterling example of shooting a large studio Hollywood films, no warning is needed. Although Searchlight's images (which, of course, were initially Fox Searchlight before they were purchased from Disney) is supposedly the hand of the studio for making and/or acquiring independent and specialized films, "Completely Unknown" feels like a movie type of classic. It may be partially deliberately, as co-writer Jameseims Mangold accepts the film's feeling in the 1960s.

However, the film is not a stylish surface exercise or retro respect, especially when compared to Mangold's body. The director has shown that he has a strong sense of craft immediately from his first few films such as "Heavy" and "Police Land" and even his ReanR works as "identity" and "Logan" Contain the ground quality that controls the funny aspects of those films. The most concise way to demonstrate is "completely unknown", so special is to compare with the previous Magold musician, Biopic, "Walking the Line" in 2005. The latest film, the story of Johnoni Cash and June Carter, can be considered as a quintessenic film on the biopic trend of the 00s, especially as it has become the basis for Akejk Casdan's subgenre's parody, "Go hard: the story of Davy Cox." Despite the presence of Nyoni Cash, "complete unknown" does not look like a "walk on the line", which is just as clear as anyone who is a responsible director (see also: the difference in tone and aesthetics between "Wolverine" and "Logan").

Despite some negative examinations they reject as a conventional biopic, the collars of "completely unknown" lie in its intelligent, well -made but unobtrusive filmmaking. Mangold is the type of director who only knows where to put the camera when it is not the one to impose a style of film that transcends other aspects of the film (at least all actors). In other words, he knows how to do everything to work at a concert. "Complete unknown" is a film that has a fantastic art quiet in it, so although it is a shame that it was not a bigger hit after his theater release, at least it proves to be a film that will not be quickly forgotten.
