Advertisements For First Talking Movie

The first talking movie was called The Jazz Singer, released in 1927. It was directed by Alan Crosland. It was produced by Warner Brothers, so they promoted it. It was a huge deal because nothing like that had ever been created. Magazines gave mostly positive reviews because of how revolutionary it was. None of the Warner brothers were able to attend the premiere. The budget of the film was $422,000 and it made $3.9 million in the box office in the US. This is good because they made profit on the film.
