Brian Fowler Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Looking it up, shit, it even counts the first Iron Man. So strike that, Marvel then Star Wars. Jesus he's been in big franchises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Actually, looking closer, looks like it doesn't actually count the really small roles in the total. I'm not 100% on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Looking it up, shit, it even counts the first Iron Man. So strike that, Marvel then Star Wars. Jesus he's been in big franchises. Sam is also in the upcoming Tarzan movie with Stellan Skarsgård's son and Skull Island. How many dudes are on studio speed dial like him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'm pretty sure he never turns down a script if a check is attached. But when he's got a real project he can sink his teeth into, he's so fucking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I just looked at Box Office Mojo and Force Awakens is 4th all time worldwide. It's easily going to overtake #3. Do you guys really think it will make another 1.2 Billion? I don't know. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/world/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I think it gets #2, but unless it absolutely cleans house in China, Avatar looks safe right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I don't imagine it touching Avatar, I actually think it will be lucky to pass Titantic. Star Wars was always more of a US IP than a Global one, not saying it wasn't popular in other countries but even before this movie came out that was always my impression. All the prequels hovered around 47% of their total coming from domestic (which is around where VII is) while Avatar was 72% and Titantic was 70%. All this may change if VII re-releases at some point, like other movies in the top few have (Avatar, Titantic, and Star Wars). But I think for this run, 900 domestic and 2 billion global are realistic goals at this point (we will know more this weekend, depends on how much Star Wars drops).

odessasteps Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Assuming this counts, but i bet it picks up some money in a couple years as a re-release when part 8 comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I also think it passes Titanic but falls short of Avatar. That $600 million step is a biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Assuming this counts, but i bet it picks up some money in a couple years as a re-release when part 8 comes out. This is fair though, it might get there in a later run. This is how a ton of Disney's animated properties got so high on the list and since Disney owns Star Wars now...

odessasteps Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Iirc, disney had a formula for releasing its pictures every x number of years to attract each new generation of kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 The Revenant took number one Friday by a healthy margin over Star Wars. TFA might not cross 800 until Monday or Tuesday instead of Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I had been told for weeks that the movie is amazing or at least Leo is but then I look at RT and I'm surprised to see it hovering around 79-80% which means at least some mixed/bad reviews out there. I wasn't expecting that. I really want to see it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 $33 million, the best opening Saturday in China ever. Game back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFA might not cross 800 until Monday or Tuesday instead of Sunday. Yeah, never mind all that. Did about 31 combined Saturday and Sunday estimated to hold off The Revenant 41-38, and Storm past 800, now at 812. 900 domestic looks likely, and 1 billion isn't completely out of the realm of possible. 53 million in two days in China.

Brian Fowler Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Also, domestically at least, The Hateful 8 is kinda sorta bombing. Just 41 million through its second weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 What is Tarantino's most successful movie money-wise? I am guessing Pulp Fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Surprisingly no. It's Django Unchained. Though adjusted for inflation, yes Pulp Fiction was more successful. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/people/chart/?view=Director&id=tarantino.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't a huge surprise, or I assume it shouldn't be. Tarantino has never been a big box office guy, his movies are a bit too 'out there' for the average movie goer.

Brian Fowler Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Basterds and Django both did solid, $100+ runs. This is looking at 50ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 "A really long, wordy western" isn't exactly what most modern moviegoers are looking to see. I'm not saying that's right or wrong, but it was never going to be a big draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 True, but I still expected better. At least in the 75 million range like Kill Bill. Of course, I still haven't made it out to see it, so blame me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I may be wrong on this but I remember Iinglorious and Django both feeling like bigger deals, like they did more to promote them and maybe this time felt like all they had to do was run a few commercials this time saying 'hey the new Tarantino!" and it would be automatic. Like, for Inglorious there was a pretty big buzz and Django was all "OMG it's going to be so controversial Nword!!!!" Jamie Foxx hosted SNL. Like, they did more stuff. I also remember being straight up told before each of those opened that they were amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
