Extension Task: Top 10 Grossing Thriller Films of All Time

Here is the list of the top 10 grossing thriller films of all time;

1. Inception
2. The Da Vinci Code
3. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part One
4. Gravity
5. The Hunger Games
6. The Sixth Sense
7. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part Two
8. Oceans Eleven 
9. Bourne Ultimatum 
10. Signs 

Unlike in the top 10 grossing films of all time only 4 of the top 10 are made by conglomerates (the big six)- this shows when making thriller films you don't have to work with a conglomerate in order to have a successful film. This could be down to the fact that thriller films technically are made for a niche audience so conglomerates are less likely to invest in them unless they have a big actor, such as Inception has Leonardo Dicaprio, or they are based off something that already has a large following. Bourne Ultimatum was a book originally so it has a guaranteed audience even before the release. 
M. Night Shyamalan, who was the director of The Sixth Sense and Signs (6th and 10th) is known for making thriller movies that involve a contemporary supernatural element as well as various different plot twists. He has earned a name for himself within the thriller movie community, although he has been quoted saying, "that all [his] movies have twist endings, or that they're all scary. All [his] movies are spiritual and all have an emotional perspective."
