G321 - Audience figures

The audience figures for our genre of Romantic Comedy vary depending on what film you watch. Based on our questionnaire, Bridesmaids was the most popular Romantic Comedy because of the actors and actresses involved and the way they played their characters. On the opening weekend of Bridesmaids, it pulled in $26 247 410 at the box office and $169 076 745 overall. This is a massive profit seeing as the film only cost $32 500 000 to make. Another popular romantic comedy is He's Just Not That Into You which grossed over $93 000 000 at the box office. 

Other unpopular Romantic Comedies include American Pie which pulled in an overall gross of only $13 833 980 and Knocked up at £8 165 211. I think these were unpopular because they are romantic comedies targeted at men and men don't necessarily go to the cinema to see a rom com, so what we aim to do as a group is incorporate the favoured elements of the popular and unpopular rom coms in order to make a very successful and popular romantic comedy ourselves.
