Box Ofiice-Action film

Box Office

I looked at websites like box office mojo, the numbers and imdb to collect data on my chosen genre. In doing so I hope to improve my knowledge on what audiences like about action films.

This data sheet from a box office shows us how much of the Market is owned by Action films. We will be mainly focusing on 2013 because it is the most relevant time period. Currently in 2013 24.46% of the Market  is owned by the Action film genre. That is almost 1/4 of the Market. This result shows us that the genre Action is very popular within all the different genre of films.

Currently Action is in 4th position in the table of Top Grossing Genres from 1995 to 2012 because Action's 4/14 this shows that it is very popular and a successful film genre. The total gross that Action genres have made over the years is $32,066,637,809. This is rather a large amount of money, however it isn't the most amount of money a film genre has made because Comedy is at the top with $44,792,158,044.

This here is a list of the Top-Grossing Movies since 1995-2013. This shows us the total gross theses films are marking. Some of the more recent films like the Dark Knight Rises made $448,139,099 and Iron man 3 made $408,992,272. These results show us that there is a big market out there for Action Films. 

                                                 

                                                             

This is The Expendables 2 movie , it is one of my favourite action films and this is why I have chosen to talk about it. It is a classic action movie staring all the top    The Expendables 2 was released in Cinemas world wide on the 17th of August 2012, that same day the total gross added up to $10,494,145. By the time the film was released on Dvd on the 20th of November 2012 the total gross was up to $85,028,192. The movie has made so far $312,573,423. The reason why The Expendable 2 is such a good selling and popular film is because it contains lot's of action and very popular actors like: Sylevster Stallone, Chuck Norris and Bruce Willis. Also because there was The Expendables as the first one this was also very successful, this will the encourage people to watch the new film " The Expendables 2".























G.I. Joe Retaliation is a very typical and successful action film. The opening weekend of this film in total it made $40,501,814. In total the film has now made $ 375,740,705. The reason this film has made such a large amount of money is because it is a classic action film. It has explosion, fast action, guns and fighting, a bit of humour and it has the good guys and the bad guys. In this film there are the two types of good good guys and bad guys. The good guys there are the big strong men with guns and then there are the sort of super hero's who are the good guys who are wearing mask and costumes. And this is the same for the bad guys. In every action films you want to see a sexy female who is a bit violent and with a strong character. In this film there are two females which means that this film will be more appealing to men. In my opinion this film is very successful, well made and very typical of an action film.
