Sleeper Hit
In the entertainment industry, a sleeper hit is a film, television series, music release, video game, or some other entertainment product that was initially unsuccessful on release but became a success later on. A sleeper hit may have little promotion or lack a successful launch but gradually develops a fan following that garners it media attention, which in turn increases its public exposure and public interest in the product. In film Some sleeper hits in the film industry are strategically marketed for audiences subtly, such as with sneak previews a couple of weeks prior to release, without making them feel obliged to see a heavily promoted film. This alternative form of marketing strategy has been used in sleeper hits such as ''Sleepless in Seattle'' (1993), the Oscar winner '' Forrest Gump'' (1994), ''My Best Friend's Wedding'' (1997), '' There's Something About Mary'' (1998), and '' The Sixth Sense'' (1999). Screenings for these films are held in an area conducive to the f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
