Quantitative Box Office Research: My Favorite Film

THE DEPARTED

USA

The above findings show the box office figures for USA. The highest amount made was around 130 million in dollars and around 90 million in pounds. The figures alone emphasize that  the film was very successful and this meant they had done well financially and had covered the budget they had used which was 90 million. The reason why this film was very successful was because the film was located in USA which meant that american viewers were more keen in watching it. 

UK

The above figures show the box office figures in the UK. The most amount made in the UK was £12,576,260. Although it was an american film it also appealed to the people in the UK as it was in english. this is why they made a lot in the UK. Also as you can see in the film we see Leonardo DiCaprio who is a famous actor and is known worldwide for his films, this is maybe another reason why it is high in the UK.






Mexico









The above image tells you the box office figure for mexico, as you can see from the above picture shows that the highest amount made in mexico was £1,353,611.70. This is a low amount but very high considering that in mexico they do not speak English, as they speak Spanish, however they may add Spanish subtitle so Mexican people understand. 




Australia

The above image shows you the box office figures in Australia , as you can see from the above the highest amount made was 5 million pound this is amount is a high figure, however it made a lot of money because in Australia most of the people speak English, this means that more of people would understand the film and also they may know the famous characters from the film. 





Netherlands 

The above figures are from the IMDb shows you the box office figure in Netherlands, as you can see from the image that the most made in Netherlands was around 1 million pound, this is the smallest amount compared to the other country's, however i believe this is because in Netherlands most of the people speak in German as it is in Germany, however i guess they put in subtitle which helped some people understand the film.

Analysis

From my research i have gained information about the box office figures. Overall from the box office figures i can tell that the film has been successful as the films budget was 90 million pound in dollars if you convert that to pounds it's roughly around 60 million pound, this tells me that they have been very successful as they made more than that. Each individual country has different box office figures because they all have there unique reasons, for example the most of the money they made was in USA  because that's were most of the audience who it appealed to were as it was filmed there, this is why the made the most there, however in the mexico they didn't make as much because they speak Spanish which means them having language barrier although them having Spanish subtitles. Overall in my judgement i believe that this film is very successful as they made a lot of revenue from it.
