My results have shown that even short films can make a very good box office sum as these films have made a large amounts of money for films that last under 1 hour long. I noticed in my findings that the higher the rating the higher the box office. So 'Cirque du Soleil' got rated a 7/10 and got $15 million at the box office whereas America got rated a 5.7 and got $14 million which shows in my findings that higher the ratings the higher the box office. 

However the ratings of the films rely on how many people watch it 'Cirque du soleil' had over 500 people who has rated it whereas Alien Adventure had 150 people who rated it and America! had 18 people who rated this. This greatly impacts the way people see films because of their reviews. 

The purpose of doing this research is because it shows a clear indication that short films, regardless of their length shows that they can still make a decent box office. This is important to my short film research because it shows that short films are still very popular and can make a very nice profit even though the budget can be a micro budget.
