Chosen movie:
Precious

Why:
I choose precious because it looked interesting and there would be loads to write about e.g her upbringing,Family ,Education ect.

Institutional background:
There are several production companies but the main one is lionsgate but the other two are lee Daniels entertainment and also smokewood entertainment.
The UK distributor was Icon film distribution.   


No brand loyalty:
Precious comes under the genre of Drama. 
No precious isn't sequel Movie but Lee Daniels has made other films such as The butler,The paper boy and also shadowboxer.
Gabourey sidibe one of the main characters has also been known for playing a part in several movies such as Tower Heist,White bird in the bizzard and also seven psychopaths.

Its all a matter of timing:
Precious first got released in the UK on the 29th January 2010.
The first trailer was released July 14 2009. 


Its a social thing:
People have said things like
"its okay once so often"
"A work of art"
"Incredibly powerful film"
Whereas others have said
"The most stereotypical movie ever"
"I found precious to be racist"
"Get ready to cry"

Risky business:
The original budget from this film was $10,000,000 in the opening weekend the film made about £260,921.
In total the movie has made £812,791 on the 7th of February then £260,921 on the 31st of January.
