|---|---|---|---|
Template:Yearsinfilm The year 2008 involved many major film events. The Dark Knight was the year's highest-grossing film, while Slumdog Millionaire won the Academy Award for Best Picture (out of eight Academy Awards).
Evaluation of the year[edit | edit source]
2008 has been widely considered to be a very significant year for cinema.
The entertainment agency website IGN described 2008 as "one of the biggest years ever for movies." It stated, "2008 was the year when the comic book movie genre not only hits its zenith, but also gained critical respectability thanks to The Dark Knight. Animated films also proved a huge draw for filmgoers, with Pixar's WALL-E becoming not only the highest grossing toon but also the most lauded. Things got off on the right foot with the monster movie madness of Cloverfield. Marvel got down to business laying the groundwork for their superhero team-up The Avengers with the blockbuster hit Iron Man and their respectable attempt at rebooting The Incredible Hulk. The games-to-film genre took a hit this year, with only Max Payne proving to be a worthy adaptation of the source material. We also saw the highly anticipated big-screen returns of iconic characters like Batman, James Bond, and Indiana Jones – some were more successful than others."[1]
The film industry and review website IndieWire described 2008 as "a stellar year for movies" that "gave us tons of unforgettable classics" such as The Wrestler, 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days and Che.[2]
Highest-grossing films[edit | edit source]
The top 10 films released in 2008 by worldwide gross are as follows:[3]
| Rank | Title | Distributor | Worldwide gross |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Dark Knight | Warner Bros. | $997,000,000[4][nb 1] |
| 2 | Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull | Paramount | $786,636,033 |
| 3 | Kung Fu Panda | $631,744,560 | |
| 4 | Hancock | Sony | $629,443,428 |
| 5 | Mamma Mia! | Universal | $609,841,637 |
| 6 | Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa | Paramount | $603,900,354 |
| 7 | Quantum of Solace | Sony | $589,580,482 |
| 8 | Iron Man | Paramount | $585,796,247 |
| 9 | WALL-E | Disney | $521,311,860 |
| 10 | The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian | $419,665,568 |
- ↑ Excludes grosses from subsequent re-releases.
For 2008, the top ten films consisted of three superhero films, three animated films, three action films and one musical film.
Box office records[edit | edit source]
- In the domestic box office, 2008 came very close in passing 2007 as the highest-grossing year, falling short by just $30 million.
- On August 4, The Dark Knight reached a $400 million domestic gross in a record time of 18 days. The previous record was held by Shrek 2, which reached it in 43 days.[5] On August 31, after 45 days in release, The Dark Knight reached $500 million domestically, becoming only the second film in history after Titanic to cross the half-billion-dollar domestic milestone, as well as the first film of the 2000s decade to cross that milestone. Worldwide, it grossed $997 million on its initial release,[4] and an IMAX reissue[6] in 2009 saw it become the fourth film to gross $1 billion at the global box office.[7][8] It also surpassed Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as the highest-grossing film ever distributed by Warner Bros. until it was surpassed by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 in 2011.
- Mamma Mia! became the highest-grossing film in UK history until it was surpassed by Avatar in 2010.
- Slumdog Millionaire set several records. At the worldwide box office, it became the most successful British independent film of all time.[9] At the UK box office, it became the highest-grossing British independent film (surpassing Four Weddings and a Funeral),[9][10] the highest-grossing British film without US studio investment,[10] and the biggest ever weekly "increase for a UK saturation release" (surpassing Billy Elliot).[11]
