SOME FACTS ABOUT THE FILM INDUSTRY YOU COULD CONSIDER:
- NO film 'grossed' (took in from total cinema ticket sales) over £50m in 2013
- Only TWO of the top THIRTY UK cinema box office hits of 2013 were British, including Les Miserables which is only marginally 'British'
- The rest are American!
- The combined cinema takings (box office) of all films released in the UK in 2013 was £1.17bn - its a big business!
- Of the current top ten at the UK box office, only THREE have made over £10m since their release
- If a film is budgeted over £10m, it almost certainly needs to include factors which will help it appeal to audiences in the US and elsewhere outside of the UK
- The 'Gant rule' (which is generally fairly accurate!) states that a US box office hit will make around 10 times as much money as a UK box office hit
- You can generally multiply the number of screens by 10 too!
- As Disney's $250m mega-flop John Carter showed, there are NO guarantees in the film business, no matter how many stars or how much money you throw at a film - especially if the marketing is as messed up as it was for this film!
- However ... as 2008's £10m budget Slumdog Millionaire showed, you can sometimes make serious box office despite picking unpopular genres, unknown cast and unlikely settings!
