Gants Blog comparing Warp and Working title

Working title and warp Blog analysis

1) A few key points from Gants blog is that;

• The working title earned £3.16 in opening time. 
• Everest is the eighth number one for universal this year, StudioCanal have scored one with Legend.
• Legend earned just short of £10 million in 12 days.
• In the past year StudioCanal have raised over £10 for another six films.

2) Charles Gants analyses box office hits in the UK alone. He often gives a positive review. For example 'Inside out gives nothing but joy for disney'. Grants headings are explaining and admiring the working title and then the indie class. 'The winner: Working title'. Then 'Second Place: Legend', we can connote from this that Grant is telling us that working title will always beat the indie films. There are many examples to Grants reviews on this link -  http://www.theguardian.com/profile/charles-ganthttp://www.theguardian.com/profile/charles-gant
Charles Grants rule is basically saying hat the US box office will always out rule the UK box Office. However he analysis the UK box office in detail but to get the information across he compares the two too show the true scale.

3) Gant makes many useful points throughout all his reviews on box office hits. All his reviews have things in common:
Minions make millions - http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/jun/30/uk-box-office-minions-makes-millions-jurassic-world-biggest-hit-since-skyfall - In this column Gant again states 'The Winner: Minions' and then 'Second Place: Jurassic World'. Again (in comparison too the Everest blog) the winner is working title once again and the warp title is 'Second'. Warp titles never have as much money to put into the film production therefore are never going to get as good as a box office in comparison to the working titles who have many famous actors.

4) Grant is talking abut how box office release on rom-coms because they all usually have large very famous actors being filmed in them. For example in the film 'Miss You already' this has Drew barymore in it. She is very famous therefore more people are going to want to see it. Where as warp titles have less money to put into the film therefore they do not have the finances to pay for extremely famous faces. Another film that is a working title rom-com is 'Love Actually'. Love actually involves Hugh Grant, Colin firth, this film made a international gross of $250,000,000. This is a commutation test. If these famous hollywood actors were not there then the film will not have produced such masses of money in the international and national box office.  The production budget was $40,000,000. Love actually is a rom-com but also had a cinema release around christmas time. This makes the film even more romantic because often people feel even more romantic around christmas time. Another reason to why Grant states that working title film rely on a rom-com is the film is the holiday. This film is a Christmas time film yet also a rom-com. Once again released around christmas. It is now a very famous rom-com. The international box office for this film was $140,000,000.

The history of the Working title industry is vast. Working title films have been around scince the early 1800's. In the 1800's films such as 'I Wish You Were Here' and then later in the 90's 'Four Weddings And A Funeral'. Which are living and are remembered to this day by people who wewre not alive until later. Woking title is different and has always been different to indie fims. For example in the 80's one of the first working title filmed was called 'The Tall Guy'. This filmed involved an actor called Jeff Goldblum. Beofre Jeff stared in this film he was aslo in Jurrassic Park and Independace day. He had been in other films. He was known as a hollywood actor. Some might say famous. THis is how working title films often do so well. They have famous actors and actresses who are willing to work in their film. Because working title can afford to pay them more than indie films.
