Researching Box Office Results

For our film project we decided to go witha film that would fit into an action and dram genre. Researching these, we found on IMDB.com that these genres were included in the list of some of the most popular choices. From there, we thought of movies we had previously watched or we had heard of. One movie I had watched was "Die Hard" which fit into the genre of an action and thriller film. I decided to look up the box office results and found that this movie made $81,350,242. This proved to be a successful platform so we continued to research other movies. Another movie that shared the same genres was "Taken". This movie has a similar plot to ours as it involves the kidnapping of a girl and the main character attempting to find her. According to boxofficemojo.com, "Taken" had a box office of $165,410,000. This movie spawned a franchise that saw success on a global front. Based on our findings, we can predict that if our film was to become a feature length film, it could see great box office results.
