“1st Film entirely inside in an elevator”
No external ratings available
The world's first film shot entirely inside an elevator, from the brilliant mind of Sexocracy author Luca Redavid. Bologna, August 2, 1980.

Domestic run trajectory — solid is earned to date, dashed is the projected remainder (standard decay curve).
Source: TMDB. Domestic/international split (~42/58, genre-typical) and the opening-weekend figure (38% of the domestic run, typical for Thriller) are MoviesRankd estimates. Profit is gross revenue minus production budget and excludes marketing — studios typically need ~2–2.5× budget to break even.
