Comments on our Box Office Figures

After researching the Box Office Figures for the top 20 films of all time, we have realised that many of the films are of the thriller genre, which means that this is a very popular genre. This is significant to us as a group as we have chosen this genre for our opening sequence. With this important research we now know that we have successfully chosen the correct genre for our film, which means that if our film was being released by the companies we have chosen (The Recorded Picture Company and Contender Films), it stands a good chance of being a popular film, due to its genre. However on the other hand, as the genre of thriller is so popular most film stories and plots have probably been copied and repeated, this is a disadvantage to us as there has probably been an opening sequence to a film much like ours, however we do not know of any. If we were releasing this film into the film industry then we would have lots of competition, releasing a thriller film. This is due to the fact that many of the popular and award winning films are thrillers such as Harry Potter films, and the Lord of the Rings.
