While doing some research on recent successful documentaries, I came across a site called Box Office Mojo. This site has some pretty good projections towards Box Office Sales. I wanted to dwell more into the dvd sales, however that data is not available on this site.
Blogging - has some great audience base. To actually make a documentary that can capitivate an audience to actually go watch it might be a different story. However if there can be a documentary about kids collecting Paper Clips, I believe there is a huge market for blogging. Murderball and Rize really open the public to a discourse community. It really shed light to the unknown. An Inconvenient Truth and Fahrenheit 9/11 took a strong view point to convey a message that change needs to happen. All these documentaries listed below have been successful in their own right.
Here are some of their Domestic Gross Sales at the Box Office.
Paper Clips -Domestic Total Gross: $1,121,744

Murderball - Domestic Total Gross: $1,531,154

Rize - Domestic Total Gross: $3,336,391

An Inconvenient Truth - Domestic Total Gross: $24,146,161

Farenheit 9/11 - Domestic Total Gross: $119,194,771

Blogging The Movie hopes to make its mark in the list of these Documentaries. We hope to be branded with the term Blogging itself, so that everyone on the cast will be synonymous with blogging and the featured 10 will inevitable be successful with the fame they receive. This site will become an open door for all those interested in blogging. The market is there, it’s just a matter of time until that potential is reached.
