Oscar buzz increases ticket sale
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Cider
House Rules doubled its money. Amer
ican Beauty climbed past $100 million.
The Sixth Sense is creeping toward the
all-time top 10.
Just what are the Oscars worth? Tens
of millions of dollars at the box oifice for
some top nominees.
Many moviegoers are in their annual
Oscar mode, scrambling to see best-pic
ture contenders and other films with big
nominations before they watch the Acad
emy Awards this Sunday.
“Mainstream audiences across the
country look for reasons to see a movie
that maybe they haven’t felt compelled to
see yet,” said Paul Dergarabedian, presi
dent of Exhibitor Relations Co., which
tracks movie admissions.
“Oscar nominations are de facto
word of mouth from a source they trust.
Rather than a friend saying you’ve got
to go see this movie, it’s the Academy
saying, ‘Go see it,’” Dergarabedian said.
DreamWorks pulled American Beauty
from all but a few theaters the weekend be
fore Oscar nominations came out in mid-
February, with plans to re-release it right
after. The movie received a leading eight
nominations, and is now in its its widest
release yet, 1,650 theaters. It has added
$28 million to its gross, hitting $103 mil
lion last weekend.
American Beauty was a record 20th
movie released last year to top $ 100 mil
lion, a figure it probably would not have
approached without its best-picture and
other nominations.
“I would love to tell you 1 knew this
was going to happen, but when the movie
came out, it would have been difficult for
me to think it would do more than $35 mil
lion to $50 million,” said Jim Tharp,
DreamWorks’ head of distribution.
Smaller movies also benefit from the
Oscars. With acting nominations for Hi
lary Swank and Chloe Sevigny, arthouse
favorite Boys Don’t Cry has risen from
A sitcom with arias!
Have you ever wondered what would happen if your favorite FRIEND
suddenly broke out into song? No? Well believe us, it would be funny!
