X INDUSTRY1 Factors that influence Box Office

WARP

• Why Warp can't produce any genre besides social realism and horror - (and comedy - 4 Lions -'suicide bomber comedy' 

...

...

• Warp X makes lots of horror - similarity between horror and social realism - both lack CGI, IP, stars. Warp X doesn´t have access to a high budget and has to stick to these genres as they have a lack of budget.
• If they were bought by a conglomerate, they would be able to diversify to different genres.

WORKING TITLE

• Working Title have the budget to diversify into different genres. 
• They can use CGI and SFX for Sci-Fi genres such as in Paul

...

...

• They also can afford IP such as the Bridget Jones franchise as it was originally a novel

...

BILLIE ELLIOT 

• Outliar for Working Title - WT2 - low budget end - Psuedo Indie 
• Low budget and social realism (around $2m budget)
• Grim setting, accents, working class
• Appealed because of feel good ending - ties in with American Dream
• Warp don't usually have feel good endings
