It's been a good run.

Thank you, Unus Annus.

Thank you, Mark and Ethan, for this. It came at a time I needed it the most.

Iron lung has me feeling utterly insane. No one gets it. I barely get it. I need to watch it 50 times. I get it more than anything. It's beautiful. It's about all of humanity. It's about about rebirth. It's terrifying. It's about curiosity. It's about hubris. It's about guilt. It's about purpose. It's about repentance. Hello is anyone listing. I'm eating drywall.

" -- and maybe if that could inspire someone to keep making films, that'd be pretty cool. and maybe if it could open up a door for other people to do their projects independently and know that there could be success in it? I think that'd be pretty cool."

I'm excited and proud and pissed off, because the box office numbers for Iron Lung are impressive, but also disingenuous.

Gross Income is not the same as Profit.

Sam Raimi's Send Help, going into day 4, sits at 20mil, which is a net negative, 50% behind its 40mil budget.

Avatar, touted as the highest profiting film of all time, made a 237% net profit over its entire run.

The final Hxrry Pxtter movie made a 360% net profit.

Mark Fischbach's Iron Lung has turned a 570% net profit. In three days.

3mil-18mil isn't impressive on its face, next to a $500mil film making $2bn. Raw numbers are raw numbers. but for return on investment, Iron Lung is not only running with the biggest studios in the world -- it's crushing them.

This Iron Lung review is taking me out

I don't say this lightly. As someone aspiring and training to work in film, Mark Fischbach just changed the industry.

An independent, self financed, self distributed, self directed, self acted film set in one shoe-box sized room not only opened already making profits but has held #1 box office in the US this weekend and may honestly by a slim but completely doable chance hold #1 in the face of a new release by a powerhouse director and a corporate machine industry titan (Sam Raimi's Send Help, distributed by 20th Century)

Even if it doesn't, Mark just released that the projections put Iron Lung within half a million dollars of the projections for Send Help.

This is a massive massive shake up in the film industry and I would put money down that there are corporate suits out there sweating over emails, scheduling emergency meetings for Monday.

This is the second wind Hollywood needed.

Long live independent art, death to the corporate machine. And go see Iron Lung
