LOS ANGELES, (GaeaTimes.com)- “The Blind Side”, starring Sandra Bullock has become one of the top grossers of the past year, beating the second Twilight epic, “New Moon,” to a pulp. On the other hand, that is not to be much taken into account, as “New Moon” had opened very well, much better than all the other films that had released simultaneously, in fact. However, the rage over the film had more or less died down by the time the movie entered its second week at the box office, whereas “The Blind Side” continued to experience huge success. Truly, it seems that Sandra Bullock’s “The Blind Side” is set to redefine box office success.
Sandra Bullock’s “The Blind Side” opened just before the onset of the Thanksgiving weekend, a major holiday season for the Americans. Although not quite meant for the holiday season, the film managed to become one of the top grossers at that point of time, surprisingly managing to beat some of the films that had opened precisely keeping in mind the movie going rush during the festive weekend. It is this fact that mostly contributes to the idea that Sandra Bullock’s “The Blind Side” looks set to redefine box office success.
The fact that Sandra Bullock’s “The Blind Side” looks set to redefine box office success shows a trend in Hollywood that seemed dominant in the year 2009. That is, the dominance of the women in the box office. The most surprising fact of the film is that it managed to go up in sales in the second week, something that generally records lowering of sales, another fact contributing to the idea that Sandra Bullock’s “The Blind Side” is going to redefine box office success.
