Activity 3 – top 10 Films 2018

The list tells us that the formula for making a successful film is to be apart of a franchise since 6 of the 10 films are apart of a large franchise. People gravitate to these franchise films because they build hype over time since there are multiple films in the series. They construct a contract with the audience in a way where they know roughly what they are going to watch before they have seen it. Another way to make a film successful is to have a big company produce it, this is because the majority of the films were produced by Disney or Universal. These bigger companies have built a name for themselves past their films and therefore attract more viewers. Including famous actors is another way to have a successful films because their fandoms will watch the film purely because they are in it. Such as with the Avengers family because fans become invested in not only the films themselves but also how the cast interact on and off set. The more successful films also tend to cater towards children making their films “12s” and in more accessible genres like fantasy and Sci-Fi.
