The Perfect Formula For Box Office Success

Posted by Hemos on from the and-for-my-next-trick,-lead-into-gold dept.

Julez writes "According to icLiverpool, the formula for creating the "perfect" film has been discovered by a UK academic. The research will be used to assess the potential success of possible film sponsorship deals. Apparently, the perfect feature must have: action 30pc, comedy 17pc, good v evil 13pc, love/sex/romance 12pc, special effects 10pc, plot 10pc and music 8pc "

    Remember - This is based off of the top grossing films in the UK. The US population demands more substance. (The Brits will gobble down just about any piece of swill won't they.)

    they were fantastic films. people who don't think so can't detach from their elitist pig attitudes enough to enjoy it. when i was a kid, it was painful to sit through yoda's training sessions, but now it's one of my favorite parts. tastes change, films don't. your idiocy grows, and your sister is a wh0re.
