Every Hollywood producer has one ambition in mind when they make a motion picture. They want to put out a movie that is a huge success that the public loves. A favorable plot, some exceptional actors along with a couple of special effects and there you have the ingredients for a enormous box-office victory. Or do you? Sometimes a motion picture will have all of the alleged vital ingredients and it will still fail at the box office. There are no definite recipes to make a Hollywood runaway success.
There is in actual fact no boundary to the amount of cash that can be spent in order to amuse us with a blockbuster motion picture. In spite of this, until the motion picture essentially hits the theater and proves itself with ticket receipts it is in effect a risk. Some directors seem to have the magic touch. There are also some stars who seem to be able to warrant a runaway success hit, yet, many a film has failed even with the most popular actors.
Hollywood has been making movies for a long time and it seems that they have an idea of just what the public is searching for. Even so, every once in a while a big-budget film comes along that seems to have all of the aspects for success yet it fails miserably at the box office.
A fairly recent and wonderful case in point of this experience is the 2005 film "Sahara". What is ironic is that this movie essentially did quite well at the box office, opening with $18 million in the first weekend and generating $122 million in gross-box office sales. However the movie was exceptionally costly to make and it ended up actually losing money. The motion picture had costs of $281.2 million during production but only brought in revenues of $202.9 million for one of the maximum monetary losses in Hollywood history.
In comparison to that you may remember another well-known film, from 1999, "The Blair Witch Project". There are varying reports of how much it cost to produce this film but the uppermost approximation was at $100,000. The motion picture ended up grossing over $248 million globally. This film had the maximum percentage of box office sales to production cost in American filmmaking history until 2009 with the release of "Paranormal Activity".
One important part but by no means a guarantee for box office success is producing a buzz with media exposure. This can generate a frenzy of anticipation that can add greatly to a great opening weekend. But opening weekend receipts never tell the complete story and in order to be a huge box-office victory a film must continue to be popular.
While Hollywood has brought us scores and scores of films and it would seem that they would have an impression of just what will work to generate a epic and what will not work, the fun and excitement for moviegoers and producers is the fact that you never can tell for sure. A certain actor starring in your flick may seem like a sure thing, until it is not. A certain form of movie may seem like a sure thing, until it is not.
There will still be motion pictures that are astounding blockbuster hits and of course there will always be films that are unforeseen blockbuster failures and that is part of the attraction and allure of the motion picture industry. Because you never know precisely what the public will absolutely enjoy! - 29852
