The post “Parasite” Sees 234% Increase in the Box Office After Winning the Oscar appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>Variety reports that the movie earned 5.5 million dollars on the weekend following the win. It marks an increase of 234% in the box office. It surpassed last year’s Green Book as the biggest post-Oscars increase of the decade. Overall the domestic box office of Parasite stands at 44 million dollars while worldwide it earned 175 million dollars.
Parasite, which deals with social inequalities in South Korea, is one of the most critically acclaimed movies of the year with 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. It is now also being developed into a limited series that will reportedly delve deeper into the movie’s themes. Mark Ruffalo is said to star in this series – although it was not confirmed.

]]>Reports claim that the actor that the network wants to see as the lead in the series is Mark Ruffalo. According to the reports, Bong has already been in touch with the actor but the negotiations have not yet started. Although Ruffalo is recognized these days mainly with his role in the MCU movies as the Hulk, he is known for his political and social tendencies in the picking of his roles — so it seems Parasite is a logical choice for him.
HBO’s Parasite is set to be a limited series with five or six episodes. Bong will write the script and will serve as a producer. Adam Mckay will direct and co-produce.
In response to reports made on Collider, HBO released the following statement: “to speculate on any characters or casting is wildly premature at this point in the show’s development.”

]]>Parasite managed to come out victorious against more obvious front runners, including 1917, Joker, and The Irishman. The Best Picture Award wasn’t its only big win. Bong Joon Ho was awarded the Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Foreign Film.
Parasite was closely followed by Sam Mendes’ war epic 1917, which picked up three trophies in technical categories – sound mixing, visual effects, and best cinematography award for Roger Deakins. The list of major winners also included Ford v Ferrari, Joker and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, with two awards each.
When it comes to the acting categories, the winners were pretty obvious from the get-go with the four winning actors picking up corresponding awards at every major ceremony leading up to the Oscars – Joaquin Phoenix won the Best Leading Actor for Joker, Renée Zellweger was Best Leading Actress for her role in Judy, Laura Dern (Marriage Story) won the Best-supporting actress award, and Brad Pitt (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) the Best Supporting-actor award.
The 92nd Academy Awards took place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on February 9th, without a host for the second time in a row.

Quentin Tarantino’s latest film still did pretty great at this ceremony and picked up awards for the best direction and best supporting actor (Brad Pitt).
The list of acting winners also included Adam Driver (Marriage Story), Saoirse Ronan (Little Women), and Margot Robbie who managed to beat the tough competition in the best supporting actress category with her performance in Bombshell. Taika Waititi picked up the best screenplay award for his work on Jojo Rabbit.

This is quite an impressive feat since the list of this year’s gala presentations also included critically lauded films Hustlers, Joker and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.
Attendees of the Toronto Film Festival are in charge of picking the winner of the People’s Choice Award by leaving their ticket stubs in voting boxes outside the theatre after each screening. Despite the fact that the voice of the people decides the winners, this award is considered as the tipping point for the Oscars race.
Many of the winners of TIFF’s People’s Choice Award went on to score a Best Picture nomination at the Academy Awards and even took the big prize – including last year’s honoree Green Book.
