Box Office Revenues
Least Successful Film
A social worker fights to save a girl from
her abusive parents, only to discover
that the situation is more dangerous
than she ever expected.
Made for $27 Million and only had a box office
revenue of $28,189,979, meaning the film only
made a profit of only $1,189,979 which was
disappointing considering the fact that the film
stars Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper
Professional Relationships
We share a professional relationship with Paramount Pictures who are our parent company.
Another company we have worked with on ‘Year of the Dog’ and ‘A Mighty Heart’ is Plan B Entertainment.
We also worked closely with Miramax films of 2 of our highest grossing films, ‘No Country For Old Men’ and ‘There Will Be Blood’.
What we are best at
producing?Some of out biggest and most successful films
are those that have been smaller ‘Passion
projects’.
We have found these to be some of our most
successful films as they are not made if a
massive budget and do not get as much
promotion as other blockbuster films.
