The 4 Paragraph 20 Mark essay

I some what agree because i,Daniel Blake was a low budget movie but made so much profit it was a better movie and in total the better one. But Doctor Strange had way better equipment and a higher budget which means they had better quality of the stuff e.g set-up.

Doctor strange had more people watch it because of the company (marvel) which would of boosted the profit also they marketed the film e.g posters on busses, trailers on social media but i Daniel Blake had more profit but they didn't market the film has much as Doctor strange did so they had a bigger success than Doctor strange.

In conclusion, I would say that they couldn't cope against Hollywood blockbuster because they dont have lots of money and it didnt have enoguh people to watch it so it didnt blow up or anything also there budget was really low so there was bad equipment. Doctor strange was better in views because they were mad on blockbuster so it would be way way more popular.
