Sleeper Hit
In the entertainment industry, a sleeper hit refers to a film, television series, music release, video game or other entertainment product that was initially unsuccessful on release, but eventually became a surprise success. A sleeper hit may have had little to no promotion or lack a successful launch, but gradually develops a fandom and spreads via word of mouth, media coverage or unexpected internet virality. As ''Variety'' puts it, “A ‘sleeper hit’ can be defined as the kind of show that catches us by surprise—programs whose popularity grows over time and can ultimately outshine the preordained hits.” A sleeper hit often lacks star performers or high production values, but prevails, at times against its makers’ expectations, on the strength of such qualities as narrative, approach or novelty, as well as market accidents. Sleeper hit films benefit theater owners because they keep a larger percentage of the money from ticket sales. In film Some sleeper hits in the ...
