Box Office Stats

In this post I will be showing the statistics for the films made in the Action/Thriller (Hitman) genre.

Here is the list of the top grossing films in the Hitman genre. First we can see that the top grossing film is The Bourne Ultimatum which people did like a lot, seeing that it did gross $227,471070. We can see that Hitman films are enjoyed consistently by seeing that most of the other films grossed a similar amount.
 
Recent films from the Hitman genre, however, have been grossing inconsistently, which shows that people would not go to see a film of the Hitman genre just because it is from the Hitman genre, so it might not be as popular as a simple action movie.

The film Hitman managed to gross $39,687,694 without having many famous actors. On the first week it earned $13,180,769. It was Produced by Vin Diesel who is a well known action star.

Kill Bill is a film made by Quentin Tarantino (the director behind Pulp Fiction). It grossed $70,099,045 which is good for the Hitman genre. It made $22,089,322 in its first week.
 
From this we can see that there can be an audience to the Hitman genre, if done correctly.

  1. this website has a bar chart to show the popularity of genres year by year - try and include that

    think also about what has made these films so popular, and discuss what sort of action films are currently in vogue (popular) and why...
