Audience, Budgets and Stats

(Louise and Hassan)

We have found that the teen romantic comedies do have a big audience as 10 Things I Hate about you made over $38 million in the US with a budget of $16 million. Whilst Mean Girls was a huge success making $86 million dollars in the US with only a budget of $17 million. John Tucker Must Die was also a very successful movie in this genre making $41 million in the US, it's budget was only $17 million. Legally Blonde was a box office hit making just over $95 million from an $18 million budget. Cinderella story was another successful movie making $51 million from a $20 million budget.

The amount of money made by these movies shows that our project would be able to get backing if released in the real world. The people that go to watch these movies are generally teens and young adults, most of which are female.

In 2005 cinema ratings aimed at 15-24 showed that 96% of this age groups goes to the cinema out of this, 52% go to the cinema once or more times a month. 

Bye bye!
