  1. Announced today its opening in a record number of theaters (4,529).
  2. This summer is underwhelming but you go down the list and almost every studio movie is making a profit given their WW totals. Even Baywatch may make a "profit."
  3. Look at how write downs become such big news... Why is that? Because Hollywood doesn't make movies that don't make money especially at the highest level. There is ZERO debate Transformers is a property with diminishing returns and TF5 very much validated that trend.
  4. The situation is not any less severe for Viacom/Paramount because they will eek out a profit on TF5. I try to explain this to you guys over and over... The major studios are all part of huge multinational corporations. Their earnings and revenue guidance has their movies making a profit, not breaking even lol.
  5. No that's exactly the point, most movies make a "profit" ... Woopdidoo. The future of the franchise is very much a question.
  6. More to a film's success than whether it made a net profit or not (which is very often already guided into earnings/projections).
  7. Yeah, they print money with all of the kids stuff it's sells. Just go into your local department store and you are very likely to find it.
  8. That's fair man. I'd add franchises usually peak in their first or second entry regardless. Especially among animated films.
  9. Good riddance, the whole franchise is a huge disappointment & yet the financials say from merchandising that it's essential to Disney's P&L.
  10. Maybe a spin off but that's about it for now. Let's not pretend that domestic take is anything other than really bad. Might as well film it in China with an all Asian cast.
  11. I think the marketing for DM3 has been on point. They know exactly who their audience is and make sure people outside of the core know it's coming. Much better than it's been for any of the other animated films this summer.
  12. My point you responded to was that it will start losing screens at a higher rate and that is 100% fact. That's it, I didn't need a dissertation in why other movies will also shed theaters lol.
  13. Lol this is wrong I'm sorry, there was plenty of evidence from Shrek 3 that Minions isn't showing that Shrek 4 was going to take a substantial dip.
  14. I'm not even a fan of this series but it's absurdly obvious the forum in general is meh towards Illumination.
