Lost In Translation
Lost In Translation is a dark comedy film that only started off with $4 million but would go on to gross close to $120 million after its theatrical run. Roughly $44.6 million of that came from US views alone. The movie starred Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson and became a worthy contender for the Oscars that year.
At first, Lost In Translation was only shown in 23 movie theaters across the country, but it stayed there for 196 days straight. Perhaps the relatability of the movie’s theme, which included grief and bewilderment, struck a chord with audiences globally.
