Box Office Success of Thriller Films

I was researching Box Office success of the thriller films to see how successful they are compared to other genres, and also to see which thriller films were the most successful. I came across only one website on the Internet of which had useful information. Here is a link to the page: http://www.the-numbers.com/market/Genres/Suspense.php



Here is a table showing the most successful thrillers in the box office:

I researched the possible main sub-genre of each of the top ten films in the table and here is what each film’s sun-genre is: 1. Drama, 2. Crime, 3. Drama, 4. Crime, 5. Sci-Fi, 6. Drama, 7. Drama, 8. Drama, 9. horror and 10. crime. The most common sub-genre of thriller in the top ten successful thrillers in the box office is drama, and then close after that is crime. Our thriller film ‘Bloody Vendetta’ has both Drama and Crime as sub-genres; our film could do well in sales due to the fact it’s plot/narrative may have similar factors to the top thrillers in the box office.
