Institution Research

The highest rating film on this list is Sin City, which is considered as being a Neo Noir film. Neo Noir is a term used to classify Film Noir films from 1980 to present.

This is a list of the highest grossing films of all time. On this list, the only film that can be related to Film Noir, is The Dark Knight. The most profitable films tend to be incredibly large budget action films. Noir films rarely have a big budget.

I calculated the average box office gross for each Noir film in the list further above. The average box office gross is $26,500,000 for modern Noir films.

One way to ensure that our film has a good return at the box office, would possibly be to have high profile actors and to for the for the film to be well promoted. Another thing, which is common with the highest grossing noir films, is to have elements of action in the film. Research shows that the action-noir films grossed more than others.

I think our film would be best distributed by Warner Brothers. This is because they distributed 3 of the highest grossing noir films since 1980.
