Collateral

Collateral (2004)
We was given the film "Collateral" to watch in lesson, it is about a LA cabbie called Max Durocher (Jamie Foxx) who has been driving the cabs for 12 years who picks up a well dressed man who would pay him $600 if he was his only passenger for the night plus another $100 if he makes it to the airport on time. This well dressed man is a hitman who is called Vincent (Tom Cruise). He wants Max to drop him off at all of his stops so then he is able to assassinate his targets.

The film opened on August 6, 2004, in 3,188 theaters in the United States and Canada and grossed approximately $24.7 million on its opening weekend, ranking #1 at the box office. It remained in theaters for 14 weeks and eventually grossed $101,005,703 in the U.S. and Canada. In other countries it grossed a total of $116,758,588 for a total worldwide gross of $217,764,291.



The movie poster of this film is effective as it shows one of the major stars of the film, Tom Cruise, who was one of the top movie stars at the time. Since the poster only mainly shows his face this would make people realise that he is in the film and would draw some of his fans toward this film. The only other part that we see in this poster is some sort of blurred out background making us again focus on Tom Cruise.
