This weekend was a big one for the movie industry. “Where the Wild Things Are” was No.1 with $32.5 million, according to ABC News. Surprisingly, the movies success came from adult audiences and not families. 43% of the audience was people 18 and older according to Warner Bros. There was a disagreement between the Spike Jonze the director and Warner Bros. The director wanted to convey a movie that was right on with the book. Warner Bros. wanted a more family approved film. They ended up compromising and supported the director by doing a campaign for “Wild Things”.
The movie is a about a little mischievous boy who imagines running away to a land of wild creatures. He envisions his own world away from reality; I believe that is why this movie was such a big hit with the adult audiences. People want an escape now more than ever. If people go out they want something enjoyable like this movie. It takes adults back to childhood memories and might give them a burst of spirit; I think that’s why it did so well with the older audience. The little boy becomes the king of the wild things and declares activities they begin to take part in. The movie brings the sounds and pictures to life, it creates what each child imagines when they read the book. A five minute to read book and transformed it into a 94 minute film full imagination, creativity, love, and excitement.
