Top Ten Grossing Films ..

2012

1. The Dark Knight Rises 
2. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
3. Avengers Assemble
4. Brave
5. The Amazing Spider-Man
6. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2

8. Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted

Well, in 2012 the main genre that grossed the most was Action and Adventure films, I think action and adventure films are more popular because nowadays they can add more special effects and by spending a lot more money on the films they make it really entertaining especially for boys with cars crashing and buildings blowing up.

2011

1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2
2. Transformers: Dark of the Moon
3. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
4. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1
5. Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol
6. Kung Fu Panda 2
7. Fast Five
8. The Hangover Part II
9. The Smurfs
10. Cars 2

Again, action is the main grossed film in 2011; this just shows how the audience love the development of film over the years. 2011 action had developed over the years and it’s still the main grossing film in 2012. However I also found fantasy films in 2011 were also every popular.

2010

1. Toy Story
2. Alice in Wonderland
3. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
4. Inception
5. Shrek Forever After
6. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
7. Iron Man 2
8. Tangled
9. Despicable Me
10. How to train a Dragon

Finally, in 2010 Fantasy and comedy films were enjoyed more meaning over the years the audiences have lost interest in comedy but like Fantasy films more until Action films took over which is obvious because of the technology they have nowadays can make all the action look real. Most of the fantasy films were animated meaning the target audience was for children and their parents.

Overall, I think from 2010 to 2012 the audiences started by liking fantasy films then as the years went on and the technology developed they started liking action and in 2012 they also decided to make a animated action film – “brave” which highlights my point of the audience moving on and the producers catering to the move of Fantasy to Action.
