Tracking Exercise – The Dark Knight Rises
The
dark knight rises is the newest addition to the batman saga, Eight years on, a
new terrorist leader, Bane, overwhelms Gotham's finest, and the Dark Knight
resurfaces to protect a city that has branded him an enemy. It was released on
July 16th 2012 and was directed by Christopher Nolan.
The
dark knight rises was deemed a great success both in viewers and financially,
making huge profits with a total of $1,077,628,688. It made 41.5% of its total
in America ($446,828,688) and the other 58.5% overseas making $630,800,000).
Clearly from figures the new batman is seen as a definite success and from my
personal view is one of the best films I’ve seen and is definite the best new
release.
In 2003 the average
budget for a large Hollywood film is around the $100 million dollar mark for a
large one, for a smaller one is around $30 million. The dark knight rises
exceeds these figures having a production budget of $250 million. The film is a
Warner brothers production, being one of if not the biggest company in
Hollywood showed it was destined for success, it being very unlikely for the
company to back a film with out great success and a rarity for the budget being
under $100 million.
The Dark Knight Rises has seen its best overseas
success in the UK, with takings of $77.8m. Its great success in the UK could be
due to its British director Jonathan Nolan and it’s British cast including main
actor Tom Hardy. The dark Knight rises had great success all over Europe, one
reason being its previous films had built up a fan base which attracted them to
the sequel.
