A box-office bomb or flop is a film that is seen as been highly unsuccessful or may be was not as profitable as wished making the producers to lose instead of gaining revenue. Most often it is due to the cost, production or too much effort put on the marketing side. In general any movie for which the production and marketing costs exceeds revenue gain out of it after it is has been released is considered to be a flop. Tagging a film as a "box-office bomb" is very subjective this is largely due to the fact that the financial success of a film is difficult to estimate and there is no reliable definition of it. We should also remember that not all films that fail to earn back their estimated costs during their theatrical runs are considered "bombs" …show more content…
Dane DeHaan and Cara Delavingne seemed to be the wrong pair to cast in the leads role like of space agents Valerian and Laureline. Even though both of them have already had huge roles in films before Dehann is best known for his appearances in indie films and his most prominent role in recent years is as Harry Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and Cara Delevingne is an up-and-coming actress who only recently made the switch over from modeling, she appeared as the Enchantress in ‘Suicide Squad’ neither of them were the main draw for those films. Meanwhile, for Valerian the marketing materials heavily relied on them despite the fact that only a little bunch of people actually know who they are, if anyone can even recognize them. For a film like Valerian, with that huge production budget a little bit of star power would have help the movie to push it over that hump. Even though DeHaan and Delevingne may both one day gain recognition as actors and have a successful careers as huge stars at this moment they are not enough to pull in audiences to an unfamiliar property. Leaving then Rihanna as the main draw in the cast, however she did not had that much presence in the movie as she was not one of the main characters appearing only midway through the …show more content…
There is first of all the backgrounds slow down version of "Because," and the previews focused heavily on the film's visuals over its content. I mean nothing about the story is present all you see is about the content that I am sure certainly left the audiences kind of confused about what they might actually see if they bought a ticket making them doubt if they should actually get a ticket to see something they do not understand. The only things the audience can actually get from the teaser is the kind of awkward workplace sexual harassment storyline between Valerian and Laureline, that is most likely to not go over much of the audience and the fact that watching the second teaser where we have some more hints at the story, but it kept them extremely vague, only referencing the "unknown force" looking to destroy the metropolis of Alpha without telling you which kind of unknown force nor their origin leaving the audience with no information concerning the film. And then the final trailer also did not give further hints about the film base entirely on the film’s gorgeous landscapes and the alien creatures on the movie. All the trailers where actually useless as none of them gave information about the story behind the movie, nothing about what is going through the city, which
The Sound of Music was the highest-grossing movie of its day and one of the highest-grossing of all time. She soon found that audiences associated her only with singing, and sweeter tempered acting roles, and were reluctant to accept her in dramatic roles like The Americanization of Emily and and Alfred Hitchcock's thriller Torn Curtain. In addition, the box-office showings of the musicals Julie subsequently made increasingly reflected the negative effects of the musical-film boom that she helped to create. Thoroughly Modern Millie was for a time the most successful film Universal had released, but it still couldn't compete with Mary Poppins or The Sound of Music for worldwide acclaim and recognition. Star!

What really stuck out to me was that it was a lot darker and deep than I thought it was going to be. From the beginning, right to the very end it feels like a dark shadow is creeping over the movie and you can kind of see how the lightening changes from a decent
The process in which these actors and actresses are chosen depicts an entirely different veracity than what the student generation would
“There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.” Alfred Hitchcock once said. The suspense of knowing or not knowing what’s coming next is one of the most thrilling things when watching a movie or reading a book. This is what foreshadowing does in any form of media. Two great examples of foreshadowing in the media are in the novel
She was not only the lead actress, but also the singer for the film’s official soundtrack. Whitney was meant to sing another song but that particular
Here are some examples of foreshadowing that have led the audience in suspense: The ridiculously cheap rent that the landlady is offering to Billy No other hats, coats, umbrellas, or walking sticks in the hall She talks about how they were young and handsome just like Billy She talks about Mr. Temple having an unblemished body with skin like a baby 's. This is so creepy to me (in my opinion) as it tells the readers that something is going to happen and the readers get suspicious on whether the landlady is a nice old woman or a psychopathic serial killer.
The story in Emily Bronte 's gothic novel, Wuthering Heights, is told from the perspectives of Catherine’s servant, Nelly Dean, and tenant of Thrushcross Grange, Mr. Lockwood. These two characters give the reader descriptive and potentially biased accounts of events throughout the story. As the reader comes to their own conclusions about their opinions of the characters traits and personalities, the basis of this information relies on the beliefs of two unreliable narrators. Nelly Dean envies Catherine and feels mistreated by both her and Heathcliff. Mr. Lockwood arrives at Wuthering Heights after the drama regarding Catherine and Heathcliff occurred, thus missing out on key events only recounted to him by Nelly.
There were so many things I missed the first time. So many subtle plot lines so many hints as to where this story was going. Knowing that this was a Park Chan Wook film I was not really surprised about how bizarre the story was. He is known to do weird films with weird story lines. The way he dropped so many hints in the beginning was really amazing so in order to truly get this movie I really think watching it twice would be really beneficial.
She decided to put a temporary close to her acting career to focus on herself and her music, stating, "music is where I can be me. Acting is easy. I've been doing it for so lon, and I totally love it, but you're playing a character instead of yourself. Music is more personal because you're writing it, and you're involved in every step of it. "
When something unexpected occurs in any movie it affects the suspense by giving the viewer awareness of a certain threat that multiple characters do not know about, which in this case was everyone except Beatrice, Four and the people behind this plan. Neil Burger uses foreshadowing to indicate that an important future event is going to take place. This is suspenseful because it gets the audience interested in the conflict or complication that is being hinted and encourages them to pay close attention. One of the foreshadowing events in Divergent would be when Beatrice 's mother Natalie shows up secretly at Dauntless to tell Beatrice she is in danger. Natalie asks for her test results and when Beatrice admits she is divergent her mother tells her that Dauntless and many other groups are hunting Divergents down.
I’m always thankful for anyone that supports me. Grand: There has been a few dystopian type films, “The Giver” and “Divergent” to name a few, being released but why do you think yours is different from the
Because of this, her emotional instability behaviors were amplified. She had a lot of public breakdowns and she disappointed a lot of fans just by walking off stage in the middle of a performance and not coming back. “Her vulnerability, her fragile personality and
What makes this trailer unique is a long shot using a dolly to introduce every character and their role. As the camera slowly moves its way through the train aisle, it turns slightly, aiming the camera at each character. Next to every individual is a subscript that provides insight into who they are, for example, the assistant, the governess, the missionary, and the widow. By shooting it from a standing eye level, this lasting camera shot is designed to make the audience feel as if they were there. With using these specific techniques, the trailer reveals enough information to compel the audience to be inquisitive, but a purposefully inadequate amount to avoid exposing the entire film.
Though it is not supper strong meaning there is still a chance a movie will flop. Other interesting thing to not is that some of the lowest relationships are between budget and IMDB score this means there is not relationship between the money spent on a movie
