The Phantom of the Opera is a 2004 film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical of the same name. Directed by Joel Schumacher, the film was also produced and co-written by Lloyd Webber, and stars Gerard Butler, Emmy Rossum, Patrick Wilson, Miranda Richardson, Minnie Driver and Jennifer Ellison. The story follows a soprano, Christine Daaé, who becomes the obsession of a mysterious, disfigured musical genius known as "The Phantom of the Opera".
The film was announced as early as 1989, but production only started in 2002 due to Webber's divorce and Schumacher's busy career. It was entirely shot at Pinewood Studios, with scenarios also being depicted with the help of miniatures and computer graphics. Most of the actors had no singing experience, and had to receive music lessons. The Phantom of the Opera grossed $154.6 million worldwide, and received mixed reviews, praising the visuals but considering the film overblown and lacking emotion.[1][2] The film received award nominations for its art direction, the new song "Learn to Be Lonely" and Emmy Rossum's performance.

Plot
The film opens in 1919, where the dilapidated Paris Opera house is holding an auction. Raoul the Vicomte de Chagny (Patrick Wilson), now an old man, purchases a music box, with the figure of a monkey in Persian robes. But he is distracted for the next piece, a restored chandelier. As the auctioneers display the restored chandelier, the audience is transported back in time to 1870, when the opera was in its prime.
A disfigured musical genius, known only as "The Phantom" (Gerard Butler), lives within the opera house. After nearly ten years of quiet obsession with the delicate, ethereal voice of Christine Daaé (Emmy Rossum), he plots to place his protégé at center stage. At the rehearsal for the opera "Hannibal", he frightens off the diva Carlotta by letting a set fall on her, allowing Christine to take the stage that night. The opera is a marvelous success. Aftrewards, Meg Giry, Christine's friend, finds Christine in the chapel, praying for her dead father. Christine confesses to Meg about an Angel of Music, whom she believes is coaching her. Meanwhile, Raoul, having recognized Christine as his childhood friend, visits her in her dressing room. His plans to take her to dinner are sidetracked when she is instead drawn by the Phantom to his underground lair. At the end, she sees an exact wax likeness of herself in a wedding dress. She faints, and he carries her to the bed. When Christine wakes, she is overcome by curiosity and removes the Phantom's mask, seeing his face, though the audience does not. The Phantom has a bout of fury and misery, but hopes that Christine can learn to love him despite his deformity. He then takes her back up to the opera.
The other members of the Opera Populaire are confused by a series of notes sent by the Phantom. However, the managers do not heed any of them, putting Carlotta in the main role in the opera "Il Muto", and casting Christine in the mute role. The Phantom retaliates during the performance, causing Carlotta to lose her voice and murdering the rope man, Joseph Buquet. Terrified, Christine flees with Raoul to the roof. There, Raoul and Christine proclaim their love for each other and share a kiss, which is witnessed by the Phantom. When they leave, the Phantom emerges, and swears revenge. The story then fast-forwards a few months, to a masquerade being held in the opera house. The Phantom has been inactive for some time, while Raoul and Christine are secretly engaged. But the party descends into disaster when the Phantom appears with an opera, Don Juan Triumphant, he has been writing, before disappearing down a trapdoor. Raoul gives chase but ends up in a room of mirrors; only Madame Giry's intervention saves him. She tells Raoul the story of the Phantom. When she was younger, she witnessed the murder of a Gypsy man by "The Devil's Child", a young Phantom put on display. Madame Giry helped lead him away from the police, taking him to hide in the catacombs of the Opera House.
The next day, Christine goes to the cemetery to mourn her father. The Phantom follows and attempts to hypnotize her, but is stopped by Raoul. The two men engage in a sword fight, with Raoul disarming the Phantom. As Raoul and Christine ride away, the Phantom vows revenge on both. Raoul has his own plans, and decides to use the opera as a trap, with Christine as bait. But during the performance, the Phantom kills the leading man Piangi and takes his place, singing a passionate composition to Christine. The Phantom professes his love for the whole audience to hear. Christine rips off his mask, and his disfigurement his beheld by the audience for the first time. As the audience panics, the Phantom brings down the chandelier, setting the entire opera on fire, before dragging Christine away. The audience flees, and an angry mob starts to go after the Phantom.
Raoul, led by Madame Giry, makes his way to the catacombs, where the Phantom wants Christine to marry him. When Raoul appears the Phantom captures him and forces Christine to make a choice: stay with the Phantom and let Raoul live, or refuse the Phantom and watch Raoul die. Struck by the desperation of his actions, Christine kisses the Phantom. The display of physical love so deeply touches the Phantom that he allows Christine and Raoul to leave. After they leave, the Phantom smashes every mirror in his lair and disappears behind a velvet curtain. Upon entering, the mob finds only the phantom's white mask. The audience then returns to the present. Raoul places the music box at Christine's grave site, suggesting that Christine did indeed marry Raoul and have his children. Raoul notices a red rose with a black ribbon tied around it (a trademark of the Phantom) with the engagement ring attached to it, showing that the Phantom still loves and will always love Christine.

Hugh Jackman was offered the chance to audition for the Phantom, but he faced scheduling conflicts with Van Helsing. "They rang to ask about my availability," Jackman explained in an April 2003 interview, "probably about 20 other actors as well. I wasn't available, unfortunately. So, that was a bummer."[3] "We needed somebody who has a bit of rock and roll sensibility in him," Andrew Lloyd Webber explained. "He's got to be a bit rough, a bit dangerous; not a conventional singer. Christine is attracted to the Phantom because he's the right side of danger."[4] Director Joel Schumacher had been impressed with Gerard Butler's performance in Dracula 2000.[5] Prior to his audition, Butler had no professional singing experience and had only taken four voice lessons before singing "The Music of the Night." for Lloyd Webber.[6]
Katie Holmes, who began working with a vocal coach, was the front-runner for Christine Daaé in March 2003, before she was replaced with Emmy Rossum.[7] The actress modeled the relationship between the Phantom and Christine after Suzanne Farrell and George Balanchine.[8] Patrick Wilson was cast as Raoul based on his previous Broadway theatre career. For the role of Carlotta, Minnie Driver devised an over-the-top, camp performance as the egotistical prima donna. Despite having also no singing experience, Schumacher cast Ciarán Hinds as Richard Firmin, with whom he worked with on Veronica Guerin.[9]

Production
Development
Warner Bros. purchased the film rights to The Phantom of the Opera in early 1989, granting Andrew Lloyd Webber total artistic control.[6] Despite interest from A-list directors, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Warner Bros. instantly hired Joel Schumacher to direct; Lloyd Webber had been impressed with Schumacher's use of music in The Lost Boys.[9] The duo wrote the screenplay that same year,[4] while Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman were cast to reprise their roles from the original stage production. Filming was set to begin at Pinewood Studios in England in July 1990, under a $25 million budget.[10]
However, the start date was pushed to November 1990 at both Babelsberg Studios in Munich, Germany and Barrandov Studios in Prague, Czech Republic.[11] Production for The Phantom of the Opera was stalled with Lloyd Weber and Brightman's divorce.[6] "Everything got tied up in settlements," Schumacher reflected. "Then my career took off and I was really busy."[12] As a result, The Phantom of the Opera languished in development hell for Warner Bros. throughout the 1990s.[13] In February 1997, Schumacher considered returning, but eventually dropped out in favor of Batman Triumphant, Runaway Jury and Dreamgirls.[14] The studio was heavily interested in John Travolta for the lead role,[15] but also held discussions with Antonio Banderas, who undertook vocal preparation and sang the role of the Phantom in the TV special, Andrew Lloyd Webber: The Royal Albert Hall Celebration.[16]
Schumacher and Lloyd Webber re-started development for The Phantom of the Opera in December 2002.[4] It was then announced in January 2003 that Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group had purchased the film rights from Warner Bros. in an attempt to produce The Phantom of the Opera independently.[16] As a result, Lloyd Webber invested $6 million of his own money.[8] The Phantom of the Opera was produced on a $55 million budget. A further $15 million was used for marketing, bringing the final budget to $70 million.[17] Warner Bros. was given a first look deal for distribution; the studio did not sign on until June 2003, when the principal cast was chosen.[18]
Filming
Principal photography for Phantom of the Opera lasted from September 15, 2003 to January 15, 2004. The film was shot entirely using eight sound stages at Pinewood Studios,[19] where, on the Pinewood backlot, the bottom half exterior of the Palais Garnier was constructed. The top half was implemented using a combination of computer-generated imagery (CGI) and a scale model created by Cinesite. The surrounding Paris skyline for "All I Ask of You" was entirely composed of matte paintings.[9] Cinesite also created a miniature falling chandelier, since a life-size model was too big for the actual set.[20]
Production designer Anthony D. G. Pratt was influenced by French architect Charle Garnier, designer of the original Paris opera house, as well as Edgar Degas, John Singer Sargent, Gustave Caillebotte, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Schumacher was also inspired by Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast (1946). The cemetery was based on the Père Lachaise and Montparnasse.[21] Costume designer Alexandra Byrne utilized a limited black, white, gold and silver color palette for the Masquerade ball.[9]
Distribution
Warner Bros. handled the US release of the film, while Odyssey Entertainment was responsible for international sales. They would assign Region 4 distribution rights to Universal Studios - the same company that distributed the 1925, 1943, and 1962 adaptations of the book.
Release and reception
While he initially seemed quite happy with the film, Andrew Lloyd Webber has recently suggested that he was not entirely pleased with the adaptation:

Box office
The Phantom of the Opera was released in the United States on December 22, 2004, debuting at the tenth spot at the box office ranking, with $4.2 million across 622 theaters.[23] It went on to gross $51,225,796 domestically, and with a further $107 million earned internationally, the film's worldwide total is $158,225,796.[24] The film was released on DVD in May 2005, and was the second most successful title of the month, behind National Treasure.[25] It had sold 3.2 million DVDs, with over $64 million in revenue by July 2005.[26] The Phantom of the Opera was also one of the first titles of the HD DVD format, in April 2006,[27] and was released six months later on the other high-definition format, Blu-ray.[28] Lloyd-Webber also secured a UK release date prior to that in the US - unusual for such a large project.
Critical reception
Based on 163 reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes, 33% of the critics enjoyed The Phantom of the Opera, with an average score of 5/10. "The music of the night has hit something of a sour note: Critics are calling the screen adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s popular musical histrionic, boring, and lacking in both romance and danger," the consensus read. "Still, some have praised the film for its sheer spectacle."[29] Phantom was more balanced with Rotten Tomatoes' "Top Critics" poll, receiving a 28% approval rating from 36 reviews, based on a 4.7/10 average score.[30] By comparison, Metacritic calculated an average score of 40/100 from its 39 reviews collected.[31]
Despite having been impressed with the cast, Jonathan Rosenbaum of the Chicago Reader wrote that "Teen romance and operetta-style singing replace the horror elements familiar to moviegoers, and director Joel Schumacher obscures any remnants of classy stage spectacle with the same disco overkill he brought to Batman Forever."[32] Stephanie Zacharek of Salon.com believed that Phantom of the Opera "takes everything that's wrong with Broadway and puts it on the big screen in a gaudy splat."[33]
In a mixed review for Newsweek, David Ansen praised Emmy Rossum's performance, but criticized the filmmakers for their focus on visual design rather than presenting a cohesive storyline. "Its kitschy romanticism bored me on Broadway and it bores me here-I may not be the most reliable witness. Still, I can easily imagine a more dashing, charismatic Phantom than Butler's. Rest assured, however, Lloyd Webber's neo-Puccinian songs are reprised and reprised and reprised until you're guaranteed to go out humming."[34] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly believed Schumacher did not add enough dimension in adapting The Phantom of the Opera. "Schumacher, the man who added nipples to Batman's suit, has staged Phantom chastely, as if his job were to adhere the audience to every note."[35]
Roger Ebert reasoned that "Part of the pleasure of moviegoing is pure spectacle - of just sitting there and looking at great stuff and knowing it looks terrific. There wasn't much Schumacher could have done with the story or the music he was handed, but in the areas over which he held sway, he has triumphed."[36] 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.[37]
Awards
At the 77th Academy Awards, Anthony Pratt and Celia Bobak were nominated for the Best Art Direction, as was John Mathieson for Cinematography, however, both categories were awarded to The Aviator. The end titles song, "Learn to Be Lonely" was nominated for the Best Original Song, losing to The Motorcycle Diaries' "Al otro lado del río".[38] The film was also nominated for three Golden Globe Awards, Best Picture - Musical or Comedy, Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for Emmy Rossum and Best Original Song for "Learn to Be Lonely".[39] The Phantom of the Opera was nominated at the Saturn Awards for Saturn Award for Best Action/Adventure/Thriller Film, and Costume Design, and Emmy Rossum won Best Performance by a Younger Actor.[40] Rossum was also awarded Breakthrough Performance Actress by the National Board of Review,[41] and Best Leading Young Actress at the Young Artist Awards.[42] The Phantom of the Opera was also nominated for the awards given by the Art Directors Guild,[43], the Costume Designers Guild,[44] and the Visual Effects Society.[45]
