As of last Thursday DOS was at $343m OS, AUJ at the same point in its run was at $344m, almost even. Both figures include every market the movies were released in at the time. Or do i miss something?
-
No, Frozen needs to win.
Fuck that! Go Hobbit!

I know the sexual act is real, my point was, they are still acting.

That's what came to my mind...

There's also Japan AUJ has already opened in and DOS hasn't. If it manages to stay flat without Japan that would be good for it's chances of reaching a billion.

Wolf is a 16 in Finland cause here violence is considered more harmful than explicit sex. A movie will not get an 18 for sex unless its unsimulated.
Porn is simulated, is it not?
I mean, they are not really loving each other...
-
Well, at least DOS hit $10m...
-
No it's not. It's a big problem.
It's not as big a problem as some make it out to be.
Saying a movie will now drop like a rock because some dvd copy found its way on the internet can't be farther from the truth. That stuff happens all the time and there is no proof whatsoever about that having any effect on box office. The majority of people who download would not have seen it in theaters anyway.

Well, The Hobbit is being downloaded like crazy. I assume it will drop like a rock in the next few days in Portugal.
The effect of piracy is so overrated.
-
If the movie comes out over two months after its release elsewhere you can bet a screener is out by that time.
-
Screeners are out all the time.

You're right Tele, Event Horizon sucked. The film had a really good concept though.
It's probably Anderson's best movie. Admittedly, that doesn't say much. I remember it not being THAT bad, though.

Internationally, “Smaug” has eclipsed $340 million, led by strong U.K. grosses that have been on a par with “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.”
According to this article AUJ was at $344m. Pretty good for DOS considering it still has Japan and it had a day less in Australia. But it's eery how similar their respective runs are...
-
I guess i'm just not into that stuff. The fight scenes are very well made, though.
It's not that i hate them or anything. I watched them and found them okay but nothing that stays in your memory.

I don't get how the Bourne movies have fans. They are kinda generic. I won't deny that they are decently made but the plot is some generic espionage stuff. I dunno how someone can get so invested in these movies. More power to them, i guess.

Expect the worst hope for the best.

I highly doubt that's the case. Probably more down to the majority of games sites revenues being down to advertising from games companies, leading to more pressure from them to publish a good review lest they lose that revenue.
There have been bad or lukewarm reviews for major games from major gaming sites all the time, just look at the recent launch lineup for the new consoles. I wonder, if publishers have such an influence over scores, why do they let that slip? If it ever came out that reviewers are bought they would lose credibility and in turn viewership, without viewership they get less money from ads.
-
What i'm talking about is the fact that unless the game is a new level of terrible (Duke Nukem Forever) You'd be lucky to see a big budget game go any lower than a 7/10. Compare that to film where it doesn't matter what the caliber of the film is, if it's a turd a lot of reviewers will call it a turd.
Well, everything is based on your perception of a turd. Opinions are opinions are opinions.
There are less blockbuster games than movies every year. Maybe because publishers put all their eggs in fewer baskets there's more quality control.
-
Darn, DOS missed $11m...
-
Games reviewing is a pretty corrupt system, as a trashed review for a game such as Resident Evil 6 would have a score of 7 on IGN. If that were a Resident Evil movie of supposedly similar quality, it would get a 4 or less out of 10. The people that do reviews are so bought and paid for it's unreal, to the point that unless a review is exceptionally glowing or exceptionally negative, there is really next to no point reading most of them.
I disagree. It's a myth based on a few bad apples that tarnished the whole industry. Everytime a score is not in line with expectations of fans or haters, such accusations are brought up.
-
Hopefully DOS tops $11m.

Why does deadline report $4.9m for DOS?
