Skyfall and Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 are the top movies being spoken about from Hollywood right now.
You maybe be wondering why I decided to specify Hollywood. Well the reason is because that is not the only film industry out there. In fact its not even the largest film industry. Another movie that is being spoken about is Jab Tak Hai Jaan from the largest film industry in the world, Bollywood. Sorry had to add a little masala (Spice) to this blog.
So back to the topic. Skyfall has raised 246 million dollars domestically in its fourth week and 900 million world wide. While Breaking Dawn has dominated the domestic box office with 254.6 million but slumped with 702 million internationally in it's second week.
I believe the reason for why these two movies are the top grossing movies in theaters right now is because they come from series. This is not the first time a series has dominated box office sales. Another example would be The Dark Knight Rises which completed the batman trilogy, The Avengers which isn't part of a series particularly but is a movie made up of several movies like Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor and Captain America. Other series that have been top in the last two years include Pirates of the Caribbean On Strangers Tides, Transformers 3, Fast 5, Mission Impossible IV, Deathly Hallows Part II and the list goes on.
Do you agree? What other advantages help a movie to be successful?
