Based on true events
These films not only
had success in the UK, they are renound for being a worldwide
success. International success from each of these films could partly
be because two of them are film franchises, more people will be
inclined to see a film if they are familiar with the characters and
story.
The first film to top
the chart is the first of its kind. Cinemas are fast embracing the
new technology that is 3D, partly why this film was one to go and see
on the big screen. Avatar was talked about for so long, because it
took so long to make.
Distribution companies play a massive role in funding
and promoting.
