Why the fault in our stars was a box office hit Abbie Leeson

When looking at a film’s success most people tend to look at the opening weekend box office results, this is because it is most common and important. However by adding all the tickets sale money is how the film’s success is measured. Between the time of when the film was  released and when it is not in cinema anymore, all the results over this time are split into two sections of domestic which is the money made in the US and Canada, and foreign is all the other countries the film made money in. 

The fault in our stars has become a massive box office hit with making $48,002,523 in the USA on its opening weekend. A reason for its massive success is due to the five Instagram users who helped market the film. The 5 Intergramers went to an early  released of the film and told to share their experience, and that they did, with 350,000 engagements on Instagram, which convince around 16 million people to go see the film adding to making almost $170 million in the world wide box office.

As well as the 5 Intergramers the fantastic reviews the film has received of many people, websites and newspapers have helped encourage more people to see the film as so many have said how brilliant the film was to watch. Most of the reviews share how it is wise, funny and heart-breaking, on rotten tomato it is given a 6.8/10 with it showing how audience gave it a 4.4/5 sharing in the good reviews; however the guardian shows a 2 star out of a 5 star rating and tells readers how it is a phoney-baloney cancer fantasy which is disagreeing with most other reviews. Although the bad review has made me along with others curious to see which review is right and if so to prove the writer wrong.

As we all know the fault in our stars is based on the novel by John Green. The novel is one of the bestselling a book with its  released in 2012. The fault in our stars in along with 3 other books in a set written by John Green. This book has been read by millions of people all over the world and has become extremely popular along with John Green himself.

 John Green is originally one half of the vlogBrothers which is a popular YouTube channel. VlogBrothers is a YouTube channel that John does with his brother Hank. John still does upload video talking about many different things including “question Friday” in which he answers questions sent to him.

The film itself contains stars Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley which both are stars in Divergent the fantastic book series which got the actors more known before the fault in our stars came out, this encouraged the people who like the actors to explore other films like the fault in our stars. The film also stars Nat Wolff who like many teenagers grew up watching on the naked brother band on T.V so fans of his will be entwined to see the film as I am.  

The films its self is for everyone to watch, from adults to teenagers, everyone will enjoy it. It also raises awareness of Cancer and what it does to family and friends as well as the patients. It touches on some serious issues and not only creates suspense, it also create humor to make it more friendly.
