Resume: Emma Watson



Since her first award nominated performance in the first season of Last Resort Films, Emma Watson has had a somewhat regular presence in the studio's work even if she is still missing that breakout hit. In this first Season 22 edition of Resume, we will look at the filmography of the elegant star....


















Season 1
The Cry of the Owl
Director: Chris Evans
Writer: D.R. Cobb


Budget: $36,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $57,104,022
Foreign Box Office: $51,158,656
Total Profit: $8,769,207



Emma Watson earned her only GRA nomination - for Best Actress - for her performance in one of the studio's first films. The film was a minor box office success in addition to the strong critical notices.



Season 4
Guilt
Director: Todd Haynes
Writer: James Morgan


Budget: $33,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $26,799,384
Foreign Box Office: $17,580,006
Total Profit: -$12,448,415




Next up for Watson was a supporting role in the critically acclaimed ensemble drama, Guilt, playing the love interest of Hannah Murray's character. Despite one GRA win (Best Actress for Cate Blanchett) and two additional adaptations, the film had trouble finding an audience at the box office, losing a decent chunk




Season 10
The Queen of the Night
Director: Joe Wright
Writer: H.G. Hansen


Budget: $60,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $57,604,839
Foreign Box Office: $98,138,554
Total Profit: $25,300,717




After several seasons away, Watson returned with two films in Season 10. The first of which was the historical drama, The Queen of the Night. She played a rising young opera singer in the film which was a hit with critics and audiences alike.




Story of Sade
Director: Judd Apatow
Writer: Jacob Jones


Budget: $30,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $52,779,046
Foreign Box Office: $33,999,340
Total Profit: $13,506,323




Later in Season 10, Watson appeared in a supporting role in the critically derided comedy, Story of Sade. Despite the critically drubbing it took, Story of Sade was surprisingly successful at the box office.



Season 12
Time Passages
Director: Rob Marshall
Writer: Jacob Jones


Budget: $39,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $79,882,289
Foreign Box Office: $53,903,110
Total Profit: $28,311,337




Watson re-teamed with Story of Sade writer Jacob Jones again just a couple seasons later on the musical romance Time Passages. The film was a hit at the box office, becoming the highest grossing musical not based on an existing musical or true story.



Season 19
Ghost Stories
Director: Luca Guadagnino
Writer: Jack Slipter


Budget: $33,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $40,085,739
Foreign Box Office: $78,000,442
Total Profit: $49,935,893



After another several seasons away, Emma Watson made her LRF horror film debut alongside Tom Hiddleston in Ghost Stories. Despite mixed-to-negative reviews, the film was a highly profitable horror hit for the studio.



Up Next: Emma Watson doesn't have a lot of projects lined up after Northrock. She is in talks to provide a voice performance for an animated film, but that's a few seasons away from release. Rumor also has it that Northrock could have future sequels if it is successful at the box office.



Review:
  • Highest Grossing Film: The Queen of the Night ($155,743,393)
  • Most Profitable Film: Ghost Stories ($49,935,893)
  • Most Awarded Film: Guilt (1 Win & 2 Nominations)
  • Best Reviewed Film: Guilt (Metascore: 80)
