Niners Fan in CT Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Gods of Egypt looks like a Made-for-cable movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Gods of Egypt looked like one of those commercials that have a voiceover narration about how man's most eternal struggle has been unlocking the true potential that lurks within and ends up being for a GNC nutritional supplement. Or if it aired during the Super Bowl, a commercial for Prius. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I was the one guy that didn't think the previews for Rock's Hercules movie looked that bad and I thought Gods of Egypt trailers looked as bad as a film can look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Batman vs. Superman had a pretty epic second week drop and is projected to make between 350 and 400 million domestic (but probably not hit 1 billion International). It should pass Deadpool but it isn't a lock, should have a better idea after next weekend. Obviously still a money maker and a success but not on the level of the bigger super hero movies the last few years, should land it in the Top 10 for comic adaptations but below the last two Batman movies. I am too lazy to go back multiple pages but I think that is about where a few people said it would land, with it not reviewing well it got the big first weekend but it won't have much holdover power. Not sure where the franchises go from here, I don't think they have announced a stand-alone movie for either. But I can't keep track of all the combined Justice League etc. movie plans. Edited April 5, 2016 by Kevin Wilson Realized calling it a 'big' money maker might be too generous since it probably cost 300+ to make with marketing. Thank God for International sales.

Niners Fan in CT Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 There's an article on Deadline that's pretty outlining how if it breaks even at the box office (estimated at $900M worldwide which is crazy that they spent $400M on this) then at minimum they will still profit around $200M on all the other shit like blu ray sales and whatever. I think the universe is safe and Justice League will happen and everything else BUT you have to think WB is going to be a little disappointed and will be watching Snyder like a fucking hawk.

J.T. Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 So, it is Hardcore Henry vs. BvS vs. The Boss this weekend. I will be contributing to the Hardcore Henry box office receipts this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Two minutes of the HH trailer was enough to give me a headache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 The first HH trailer sold me on the movie, but I'm pretty sure it was because of Queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I haven't even seen Hardcore Henry yet and Akan is well on his way to being my favorite movie villain of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Looking like a photo finish at the box office this week. Estimates have The Boss edging BvS by just 45 grand. BvS with a 54% drop to continue its freefall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Urgh. I think that all of the BO money for Hardcore Henry came from me and me alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 The Boss has a friggin 18% score on RT. I didn't see that coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingus Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 If nothing else, this is some ammo against the trolls who keep whining that nobody is going to see the new Ghostbusters movie. Even all by herself and in a movie which looked like shit and had zero preexisting fanbase, Melissa McCarthy is still a Draw with a capital D.

RIPPA Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Jungle Book opened with $103 million (2nd largest April opening ever) Barbershop made just over $20 million which was below projections but most admit that was due to under estimating the force of nature (pun intended) of Jungle Book. Still has pretty much made it's budget and has good reviews so should continue to make a nice little profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 So it looks like BvS will probably make over $900 million worldwide at least. But I think it still doesn't beat Deadpool domestically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I really want it to not pass Zootipia because Zootopia's message deserves to win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Huntsman bombed hard with 20 mil domestic (but 80 mil International), I guess that is not the direction the fans wanted the franchise to go. It still may make its money back if the International market stays strong but definitely not what they had in mind. I think this makes it clear that Chris Hemsworth is not a draw, he better keep re-upping those Thor contracts and not decide he wants to do something different. I know actors don't like being typecasted but if your typecasting nets you 5 mil a year for 10 years (my made up numbers) I'd say enjoy it and retire early.

AxB Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I thought the only reason the original Snow Wight did well was because all the Twishite fans went to see it? Why would a sequel without Kristen Stewart be expected to succeed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 So unless there are any openings I've missed, the fact that Zootopia is earning more worldwide and domestic than B vs S this weekend means that at least the global box office will end higher. I consider this a victory for good over evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Batman v Superman tanked in the US even harder than I thought it would, its not close to projections even after the second week drop. Zootopia may even re-pass it domestically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 It's about $3 million behind but did over a million more on the weekend. I'd say it's likely it does unless WB actually does put the r-rated cut in theaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Zootopia is over $900M worldwide now. It could cross a billion. Batman v Superman is over $850M now. It's done well in foreign markets. If the U.S. numbers were a little better it would have crossed a billion pretty easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno if I would consider over 100 million away by the time the final numbers are in just "a little better." Obviously both franchises are fine, I am just sure that isn't the number they were hoping for from a movie featuring two different major franchises. Whether that was due to tepid reviews, the general storyline, Batman fatigue, etc. I am sure that is something they are looking into. It made money of course, but it won't be a Top 5 movies for 2016.

Niners Fan in CT Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'm not sure what they were expecting. I thought around a billion was what it'd do so it's definitely going to underperform some but if they were expecting around 1.3 then that's a mistake. It's a new Batman and it's a Superman that some people liked and some people didn't like. They couldn't have thought it would receive universal praise. There was no reason to spend as much as they did on the project but it made enough to move forward so I guess that's going to be okay. If Justice League underperforms then there's a serious problem.
