Report on Resource from Reading & Viewing
Based purely on my curiosity not on my enjoyment on the movie, I decided to research how much money Freddy vs. Jason has grossed since its production. I must say that I was amazed how much money has been made on Freddy vs. Jason. To date this film has earned $114,326,122 world wide, who would have known? (1) I learned through research that Freddy vs. Jason was released nearly one year to the date of Alien vs. Predator and its budget was exactly half of AvP. Alien vs. Predator was released August 13, 2004 with a budget of 60 million dollars whereas Freddy vs. Jason came out August 15, 2003 and held a 30 million dollar budget. The two films go head to head with Freddy vs. Jason earning approximately 2.4million dollars more. (2) “Despite this, both films “FvJ” and “AvP” manage to give their stars surprisingly good reasons to get involved with one another, and give us enough action the rest of the way to make the rides worthwhile.” (2) One last interesting fact I found was the classification of each film. FvJ was considered Horror Comedy and was rated R and AvP was Sci-Fi and pg-13.
”Sequels have take over $20bn at the box office in the past quarter of a century. The highest grossing series of films is the Star Wars franchise, the five movies earning $1.4bn at the US box office and the sixth movie keenly awaited by exhibitors and the public alike in 2005.” (3). Amazing isn’t it the human fascination of what will happen next is quite powerful. The unknown factor is capable of drawing in an audience including those who might not even be a fan of that type of movie. For instance, I am probably the only non-Star Wars fan in the world, but I was dragged to the theater to see the Attack of the Clones and I must say I liked it, but still have no interest in seeing any of the other films.

Kari, I had not looked closely about how much these films really made. It is amazing how a lot of hype and some special effects can draw such a huge interest from the public. I think that the produces must have thought they struck gold when they could produce a quick blockbuster without the backing of a big name actor that would double their budget expenses.

You have a lot of good information. I never thought about comparing the two films by their earnings or buget. It also amazing the price that these movies cost to make. Star Wars is a huge franchise so I believe that it is the largest grossing series of films.
