The Phantom of the Opera

   In 1989, Warner Bros. purchased the film rights to the musical Phantom Of The Opera. The purchase allowed Andrew Lloyd (composer) to have total artistic control. The film was shot entirely using eight sound stages. 

"Andrew Lloyd Webber’s stunning masterwork is more than the longest-running musical in Broadway history—it’s an international phenomenon that unmasks emotions, leaving audiences everywhere breathless."

"Now is the time to surrender to Broadway’s most haunting love story."

Along with the genius musical compositions of the musical, the cast of Phantom was composed of big names like Gerard Butler, Emmy Rossum, and Patrick Wilson which not only brought a musical theater audience to the theatres but also their fan bases. 

The film received generally mixed reviews from film critics. Even though 86% of the general audience liked the film, based on 384,463 audience reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes, only 33% of the critics enjoyed The Phantom of the Opera, with an average score of 5/10.
In contrasting between the popularity of the Broadway musical, Michael Dequina of Film Threat magazine explained that "it conjures up this unexplainable spell that leaves audiences sad, sentimental, swooning, smiling—in some way transported and moved. Now, in Schumacher's film, that spell lives on."
