TV TATTLE
Downton Abbey movie was a box office success in theaters, so why is El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie primarily a TV event?
-
El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie will have a limited theatrical run, but it'll be nothing compared to the Downton Abbey film that opened to $31 million at the box office. The difference lies in the vision of of their creators, according to The Wrap. The movie release of Downton Abbey reflected creator Julian Fellowes' vision of fan service, while the Breaking Bad film was made with Vince Gilligan's desire for intense secrecy, which meant very little promotion. El Camino is also Gilligan's way of paying back a debt of gratitude to Netflix for making Breaking Bad a hit.
