In 19th-century France, Jean Valjean, known as Prisoner 24601, is released from prison and breaks parole to create a new life for himself while evading the grip of the persistent Inspector Javert. Set in post-revolutionary France, the story reaches resolution against the background of the June Rebellion.
Box Office Success
The budget for the movie was an estimated $61,000,000 and ended up making $27,281,735 in its opening weekend alone.
It's Appeal to it's Audience
The movie is part of the musical genre, and therefore appeals to people interested in the art of production. The story was originally a west end show, so therefore making it into a movie makes it cheaper and more helpful as more people are more likely to go to their local cinema to see the movie rather than traveling all the to London to see the production.
