Kings Speech

Why was it successful?
       One way it may have been a success
             Is the great reviews it got from the newspapers

That may have lead to a great opening weekend;
                      Getting about 3.5 million on the opening weekend!
                                                           Alot if you concider its a British film.

Also the advertisement it had on Facebook, with its own page...getting I imagine alot of likes (I cant see how many likes because the website is blocked in school)

From this image we can see that advertisement on the popular website Youtube.com (have you heard of it) has alot of benefits; firstly its free, secondly this has got over 1 million views and thirdly the comment is a good review anybody who looks at this video can see. The second top comment is in relation to  Geoffrey Rush's character in Pirates of the Carribean - another reason for its populatrity?

      Reviews
         Are
            Important
Meaning reviews on websites like amazon.com will encourage
     Customers to buy the film!

These look like good reviews to me!
  The film is good, no doubt....23 people will disagree me on that.

Also the certificate, if it was a 15 (there was a debate wondering if it should be, as their was alot of uses of the word f*ck) then no one under that age would have seen it - destroying its family audience - meaning it wouldnt have done as well.
                                        But it may have still won all the rewards.
                                                            AND IT WON
                                                                !A LOT!
Colin Firth claiming best actor, this clearly is a good way to draw in an audience.
