Sweeney Todd film exhibition.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street first opened in the United States on December 21, 2007 in 1,249 theatres. The film took $9,300,805 in its opening weekend. Worldwide releases followed during January and February 2008, the film became very popular in the United Kingdom and Japan. In the United States, the Marcus Theatres Corporation was not initially planning to show the movie after its premiere, because it was unable to reach a cost agreement with Paramount. However, they managed to sort it out in time for the release. 


UK review on Sweeney Todd


I agree with this review because it says, ''Depp is too young and too beautiful – but he claws back some romance for his anti-hero and proves a capable singer.'' which i agree with. In my opinion i thought that Johnny Depp was surprisingly good at singing, and was perfect for the role.


I think this is a US review on Sweeney Todd.


I also agree with this review because it says, ''Sanders, a child rather than the twentysomething usually seen in the role, is creepily convincing, which doesn't make the climax any more comforting.'' which I believe to be true. The actor playing Toby definitely made the whole ending more eerie because of the dirtiness of his face and the same sense of 'vengeance' the whole film is based upon. Whereas if they had cast a ''twentysomething'' it wouldn't of been as successful. 

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street was released on DVD in America on April 1, 2008, and the UK on May 19. The DVD was released and so far about 1,892,488 copies have been sold, making the total income $37,879,985.

Sweeney Todd also recently aired on television in America and England.
