The Others is totally like a mini-Sixth Sense. First, it is even similar in terms of plot and story as far as having a plot twist, being a thriller/horror type movie and all that good stuff.
Next, of course, it was released at the same time of the year, roughly. Then, most obviously, it has performed much like TSS with low declines (or even increases!) and great staying power.
The movie's domestic rights were acquired extremely cheaply, roughly $7.5 million I thought I heard, so that makes for a massive success.
Sometimes I wonder why they bother with $100 million blockbusters when almost every lousy movie that opened in August still is going to be profitable because they all were dirt cheap. You cannot lose with $5 to $10 million films. I mean, it's nearly impossible not to make money. lol.
Did anyone actually see The Others? I did... I thought it was very well done. My best friend absolutely loved it.
