FILM NOIR

TOP 20 NOIR MOVIES

The most successful noir film was Notorious on domestic box office and also worldwide. The highest grossing films of the noir genre where mainly made before the 1970’s.

POPULAR GENRES

The film noir genre is not in the most popular genre’s because its not as well known these days and it comes under drama. Today, comedy is saw as the most viewed and highest grossing film genre.

AT THE BOX OFFICE

The average intake at the box office for film noir is 74.1 million dollars. To ensure my chosen studio makes a good return it has to be well shot, unique graphics and style and also a good cast that have won awards.

DISTRIBUTION OF GENRE

Warner brothers are a big company within the film

industry and have made some of the most popular

noir films, such as LA confidential and blade runner.

Also Sony have created some popular noir films,

such as wild things and devil in a blue dress but I

would say due to the immensity of the warner

brothers franchise that people would go and see the

films that they produce over any other studio.
