As you know, advertising primarily works for the film industry, and a lot depends on how successful it is. The main criterion for the attractiveness of a film for the common viewer is the box office. They are the main indicator of commercial success. Our today's roundup features the highest grossing US box office films.
Titanic, 1996, directed by James Cameron
Box office: $ 600.8 million
The cult film by James Cameron needs no special introduction. With this picture, the rise of the Canadian singer Celine Dion began, and Leonardo DiCaprio became the favorite of the fair sex all over the world. But the most important thing is an amazing love story of two heroes, which made at one time shed tears over the finale not only of young romantic girls, but also of men who are stingy with the manifestation of emotions.
The Incredibles 2, 2018, director Brad Bird
Box office: $ 608.6 million
Bright, dynamic, seasoned with a fair amount of humor and very funny scenes, it has become an excellent cartoon film for family viewing. True, its popularity is based, by and large, on the success of the first part of The Incredibles and on enthusiastic press reviews that appeared even before the cartoon was released. But compared to the original, the remake has collected much higher fees.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi, 2017, directed by Ryan Johnson
Box office: $ 620.2 million
This part of the legendary Star Wars had mixed reviews. The viewers accused the filmmakers of the plot being drawn out, although in fact the director only very carefully and accurately transferred the story told by George Lucas to the screen. And the picture turned out to be not a children's fairy tale, but a real dramatic masterpiece.
The Avengers, 2012, directed by Joss Whedon
Box office: $ 623.4 million
This film can rightfully be classified as a quality entertainment film. An excellent script, impressive scenes, good humor, vivid characters, wonderful music and a high-quality overall picture make "The Avengers" a true standard of the genre.
Jurassic World, 2015, directed by Colin Trevorrow
Box office: $ 652.3 million
Despite the rather simple plot, this film captivated the viewer, first of all, by the fact that it can be safely watched by both children and adults. And at the same time, adults will not get bored while watching, but will enthusiastically follow the confrontation between people and dinosaurs, admire the special effects and enjoy the romantic line of "Jurassic World".
Avengers: Infinity War, 2018, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo
Box office: $ 678.8 million
Some viewers wrote that this film did not cause them any emotions, but made them yawn for two and a half hours of viewing, while others called the movie "Avengers: Infinity War" one of the best and most impressive work of the "Marvel Cinematic Universe".
Black Panther, 2009, directed by Ryan Coogler
Box office: $ 700.1 million
A fascinating storyline, colorful characters and lightness made Black Panther one of the favorites of the US film distribution. But the viewer should not expect from the film deep psychological experiences or reflections on the frailty of life. This film is a quality entertainment product from the same "Marvel Cinematic Universe".
Avatar, 2009, directed by James Cameron
Box office: $ 749.8 million
Another masterpiece from James Cameron has become a kind of benchmark for fans of science fiction. The director's childhood fantasies, transferred to the big screen with the help of the most advanced technologies, captivate with their colorfulness, non-trivial plot and some charming magic.
Avengers Endgame, 2019, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo
Box office: $ 858.4 million
This film became the highest grossing not only in the United States, but also in the history of world cinema, setting a record for the box office in July 2019. It was created in the spirit of the best traditions of the cinema saga and is able to captivate the viewer literally from the first seconds of viewing. And during the entire three-hour viewing "Avengers: Endgame" will not let you get bored or distracted from what is happening on the screen.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens, 2015, directed by JJ Abrams
Box office: $ 936.7 million
The seventh part of the legendary "Star Wars" disappointed some fans, and delighted ordinary fans of science fiction. Perhaps it was the film's contradictions that made viewers not just watch, but re-watch The Force Awakens over and over again, trying to unravel the secret of attractiveness. And at the same time, the fact remains: the plot, based on the eternal confrontation between good and evil, light and darkness, makes you think about which side each person chooses.
Every year Russian filmmakers release hundreds of new films on screens, but the public does not consider all of them worthy of attention. True, the matter may be in an improperly organized advertising campaign or an unsuccessful premiere date, but a good movie always finds its audience. And the measure of the success of films, as you know, is the box office. Viewers always vote for this or that picture with their own money.
