Financing: Many dramatic thrillers have budgeting that ranges anywhere from $16 million to about $64 million. For example, the 2016 dramatic thriller “Arrival”, directed by Denis Villeneuve, had a worldwide total gross of $203.4 million against their production budget which was $47 million. The dramatic thriller “A Simple Favor”, directed by Paul Feig, had a worldwide gross of $97.6 million against the budget which was $20 million. It was evident through extensive research that almost all of these dramatic thrillers made more money than what they were actually worth from the start. The money that these films make mainly come from ticket sales in cinemas, streaming websites, or possibly video games that are made based on the movie. This allows them to make a bunch of money from producing their film. Most dramatic thrillers also have an older audience ranging from 18 and up mainly due to the fact that the films contain disturbing characters with some sort of psychological illness. There also is a lot of violence throughout these movies so it probably would not be suitable for the younger crowd. Therefore, most of the money the filmmakers collect from the film will mainly be coming from viewers 18 years old and up.
