Box Office Guru research
The list above is from a website called 'Box office Guru',. The list is looking at the highest grossing recent releases of films, World War Z is the first horror film to make it on the list. World War Z is a zombie horror, and considering it is the most popular recent release, there is strong evidence that zombie films are very popular currently. We used this evidence as inspiration for our Trailer/ We decided that since zombies are popular, our trailer would be more successful if we incorporated the zombie theme. SR
