How the Academy Awards influenced on the weekend box office Revenue of Oscar Nominated Films

Filmgoers would like definite bets. Tickets are costly, cinemas can be an angry disturbance, and time is valuable. So while many enthusiasts may turn out in droves after a Oscar selection of a movie, 9 Best Film contenders can turn out to be a overwhelming to-do list, and some might would like to expect the listings to be whittled down. That appeared to be the situation this weekend, at least, when Oscar winner “12 Years a Slave” significantly boosted its cinema count and grabbed a 116% rise in gross revenue around the world, following the 3 Oscar wins for Best Film, Screenwriting and Best Supporting Actress, which proved an astute approach.

Albeit it’s been in cinemas for almost more than five months and is available on DVD and VOD, the historical slavery drama got $2.1 million from more than one thousands cinemas, boosting its domestic gross to $53 million.

Oscar nominated film “Dallas Buyers Club”, in the meantime, added almost 100 locations and earned 43% more money after it won two Oscars for Best Lead Actor and Best Supporting Actor. It got $618.9K from nearly 300 sites, and, after almost four months in cinemas, has received $26.2 million nationally. It is now being distributed in DVDs since Feb. 4.

Alfonso Cuarón and Warner Bros.’ space drama Gravity, perhaps the only over-the-top unmissable, flourished into 44 more locations this weekend and boosted $902K from almost 400 cinemas after its seven Oscar wins, including Best Director. It has turned out to be the highest-earning blockbuster film of all the contenders by over hundred million. After almost six months in theaters, it‘s recent home sum is an astounding $271.8 million. It was available on DVD on Feb. 25.

Cate Blanchett’s Oscar-winning performance in Woody Allen’s comedy drama “Blue Jasmine” saw an almost 150% in profits from its 40 locations. The film is being shown since almost eight months and earned more than $33 million in the US.

In the end, Best Documentary winner “20 Feet From Stardom” was expanded to 50 more locations (than its last 9), received $25K and 233% rise in profits. It is being shown in cinemas in several forms of restricted launch for a greatly surprising ten months.

The other Best Oscar Films Contenders started theatrical taking a tumble this weekend and showed drops in profit. Oscar nominated American Hustle took a tumble to 45%, while “The Wolf of Wall Street” saw 44% drop in profits.
