ParaNorman:
Summary: The 3D comedy is about a small town that comes under siege by zombies.  There is a misunderstood local boy named Norman who is able to talk with the dead.  In addition to the zombies, he'll have to take on hosts, witches, and grown-ups to save his town from a centuries old curse.  But, this local boy whisperer may find his paranormal activities pushed to their otherworldly limits.
Grosses:This movie made $98,996,793 n the box office worldwide.
-I think this movie will be high on rents, but low on sales because it seems like a dumb movie to me, but little kids might like it.

Lawless:
Summary: This is the true story of the infamous Bondurant Brothers.  The brothers are bootlegging siblings who made a run for the American Dream in Prohibition-era Virginia.  In this great gangsta tale, inspired by true-life tales of author Matt Bondurant's family in his novel "The Wettest County in the World," the loyalty of 3 brothers is put to test against the backdrop of the nation's most notorious crime wave.
Grosses: This movie made $52,877,214 in the box office worldwide.
-I think this movie will be low on rents, but high on sales because it seems like a good movie that would be great to watch.
It would be interesting to learn about prohibition, and follow these brothers in their loyalty.

The Apparition:
Summary: When frightening events start to happen at the young couple's house of Kelly (Ashley Greene) and Ben (Sebastian Stan), they discover they are  being haunted by a presence that was accidentally conjured during a university parapsychology experiment.  THe horrifying apparition feeds on their fear and torments them no matter where they try to run.  Their last hope is an expert in the supernatural, Patrick (Tom Felton), but even with his help they may already be doomed.
Grosses: This movie made $6,909,667 in the box office worldwide.
-I think this movie will be high on rents, but low on sales because not many people like scary movies like this.  People usually like to see  scary movies once because its really scary to watch again.  I don't really like scary movies either, so thats really why I think it would be low on sales.
