Word of the Day: Nichebuster
Categories: Daily Advice
NICHEBUSTER- A film that succeeds to a considerable degree within a certain group or demographic, as opposed to a blockbuster, which has mass appeal. Many people have already heralded niche films as the future of filmmaking. One popular example is the Warner Independent Pictures documentary March of the Penguins, which has grossed $120 million worldwide–the initial niche was nature lovers!

“Nichebuster” is an interesting word with a very interesting meaning. My first instinct of the word was that it had something to do with a “gliche” in something. Thanks for always explaining the “Word of the Day” terms.
I found this interesting as well because people are always syaing find your niche in acting so it sounds as if you should find your special area.of expertise.
