It’s a social thing
1) What was the word-of-mouth like for your chosen film? If you can’t find tweets (probably blocked) use the IMDB user review rating or the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer rating to judge whether the public have given the movie a good review.

2) Find three quotes (no more than 25 words each) from user reviews of your movie to create a picture of what the public reaction to the film has been. Post them on your blog.



Risky business
Use IMDB to find out the box office records for your chosen film. Find your film, click on Company Credits and then Box Office/Business. You may want to use the excellent website Box Office Mojo to find out the budget and box office success for the film.

1) What was the original budget for your chosen film?
 $100 million 
2) How much money did the film make in the opening weekend?
$30,122,888
3) How much money has the film made in total? (Look for the subheading ‘Gross’ which has the total box-office earnings listed).
Domestic Total Gross: $162,805,434 
4) For a film to be considered a box office success, it needs to make at least two-and-a-half times the budget in box office takings. Using this method, was the film you have chosen a success? (Or, if it's a recent release, do you expect it to be a box office success?)
It was not a box office success because their budget was $100 million which means they made £62.8 million profit which is only half their budget if it was to be a success they would of needed to make  $2.5 million profit.
