Spring Breakers was released on Main the United States by A24 and grossed $31 million worldwide, making it a resounding success considering the small budget.

The film is also one of Korine's first theatrical works to receive a wide release. Production began in 2012, on an estimated budget of $5 million, making it Korine's second most expensive film to date. Once Korine developed the backbone of the story, which takes place around the American spring break period, he traveled to Florida to write the screenplay. His initial desire was to create a ' sensory film' that was more about feeling than action and placed little importance on narrative or plot, the idea for which came later. Writer/director Korine had devised the concept for Spring Breakers over several years prior to production, with fleeting ideas about the plot and what should transpire. Gomez, Hudgens, Benson, and Korine portray four college-aged girls on their spring break in Florida where they meet an eccentric local drug dealer (Franco) who helps them in a time of desperation, and their eventual descent into a world of drugs, crime, and violence.

Spring Breakers is a 2013 American crime film written and directed by Harmony Korine and starring James Franco, Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, and Rachel Korine.
