The animated film ''[[Coraline (film)|Coraline]]'' was also highly profitable for the company. Although suffering its share of unsuccessful releases, Focus has been consistently profitable, and its international sales arm (unusual among studio specialty film divisions) allows it to receive the foreign as well as domestic revenues from its releases.<ref>Claudia Eller, [https://archive.today/20120904021201/http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-ct-focus-20100525,0,899089,full.story "Positive cash flow through hits and misses makes Focus Features an attractive asset"], ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'', May 25, 2010.</ref> Its [[DVD]] and movie rights revenues are boosted by [[cult classic]]s including ''[[Wet Hot American Summer]]''.
