JURASSIC WORLD earned an estimated $5.3M on opening day Friday. Domestic total is now $577.84M. #JurassicWorld— BoxOffice (@BoxOffice) July 11, 2015
Opening Day? Did I miss something?
-
It's like Paramount with the Friday The 13th series, they hated them but loved the profits they made.
-
they were the ones to say yes when Universal told Rob Zombie no more on not taming down House Of 1,000 Corpses. They're a studio for years that said that Saw was their biggest franchise until The Hunger Games.
Someone took over Lionsgate around 2008, 2009 and this is apperantly the person who doesn't like horror movies. They then decided to roll out Disaster Movie....
-
Really? Saw and Tyler Perry films built Lionsgate.
2005 highest grossing Lionsgate film? Saw 2
2006 highest grossing Lionsgate film? Saw 3
2007 highest grossing Lionsgate film? Saw 4
2008 highest grossing Lionsgate film? Saw 5
Yeh I'm sure Lionsgate is "embarrassed" by Saw.
So without them, Lionsgate wouldn't have had the money for the rights to The Hunger Games.
*drops mic*
There was an interview with the director of My Bloody Valentine and he was asked why no sequel since it was a big hit. His response was the people at Lionsgate don't want to make those kinds of movies anymore.
-
People said that about Saw. That ended 5 years ago and no sign of a reboot.
That's because Lionsgate where embarrassed by the series and horror in general, now they have The Hunger Games to rely on.
-
I have seen The Green Inferno :-)
Also, if anyone here saw Paranormal Activity long before it came out, would you have thought it would get a wide release?
-
And this year people really don't like horror films.
What's going on?
All the big releases this year have been the same kind of ghost shit or found footage, two things the GA are getting tired of.

Terminator is basically tracking to Lone Ranger's dailies. A finish O/U 90M looks likely for it.
Suitable punishment for selling out to PG-13. Maybe if they wanted to attract more teens they should have replaced Arnold with a name actor like The Rock or someone. Just because the movies made 31 - 24 years ago had Arnold shouldn't mean the new movie has to, after all, the last one didn't.
-
Adults do thats why it's still doing 90 something million domestically and a success internationally. You add to Arnold not replace him. Because he's still clearly bringing something to the franchise.
Salvation did better without Arnold.

LOL yeah a true story drama movie about a American soldier that tugs at the heart strings. Can be comparable to some action/sci-fi movie lol. R rated action or sci-fi movies usually top out at 400 million range worldwide and usually around 130 million domestic. Fury Road had to be floored with extremely positive buzz from fan-boys and critics to reach the domestic numbers it did. Which was a great feet considering no other R rated action or sci-fi film has come close to 150 million the past five years.
Well if making money is so important, why not just get rid of Arnold altogether and replace him his a bigger, more bankable star like The Rock? Teens don't care about Arnold but I bet they'd show up in a second if The Rock was in it instead of him.
-
I had to go back and watch them, but yeah, neither of those are in the movie. None of the people in them are even in the movie. Guess they were filmed purely for promotion.
Ha! I knew it, the production value in the clips looks so much better than the production value in the movie.
-
It's suppose to do 12-13 million this weekend, not 10 million. It should be at 67-68 million come and will make around 6 -7 million still Monday through Thursday shows. So the movie will be at 73-74 million come next Friday and it even with Ant-Man hoping it will still do around 6 million dollars next week to put above 80 million after it's third weekend. Even with Ant-Man opening Terminator Genisys will likely gross 90 million by it's 5th weekend(TomorrowLand crossed 90 million after 6th weekend). I'm not sure how much it will do after that though.
Where is all that research n shit you did that guaranteed Genisys would be a massive hit and do about $150 million. How it was impossible it would make less than Salvation, how Paramount have never had a summer release do less than $125 million. How it not hitting $100 million was just wishful thinking.
-
I saw it.
It's... not horrible. But not especially good, either. If I had stumbled upon it on Netflix I would have been pleasantly surprised by it, but I don't think it's worth the price of a ticket. Oh, and the ending is positively absurd.
Was I right about those clips not being in the movie?
-
Lmao at T5 already being below MMXXL.
Punishment for selling out to PG-13
-
That extra 20 percent makes a big difference. Especially since older audiences have no problem showing up to PG-13 action movies. Look I love R rated action movies from the 80s and 90s probably as much as you. But I understand where the big money is in action movies is today. That is why I have no problem with franchises try to adapt to PG-13 style. Is it really fair that all these summer action film can be PG-13. But Terminator isn't allowed to, because the movies made 24 and 31 years ago weren't? I think thats pretty silly....
Wasn't the highest grossing movie of last year domestically and adult movie aimed at adult audiences?
-
Ehhh in reality a very small amount of people care about a movie rating. Especially when it comes to general audiences. Even if they,made the movie a darker and R rated it wouldn't have mattered. As much as I don't like saying it. The movie needed more than a 67 year old Arnold Terminator as a selling point. If it was going to compete against big movies like Jurassic World and Inside Out. They made a mistake not casting a bigger star for Kyle Reese or John Connor character. The movie also needed more CGI destruction and wow moments to hook younger viewers as well.
Why hook a younger auidence? Did you know only 20% of movie going auidences that saw Captain America 2 where under 17.
-
LOL so there punishment is that the same older 25 and up male audience is seeing this. Who would have been seeing this anyways even if it was R. So making the rating PG-13 didn't hurt or help them in reality. Since what the movie failed at is bringing in the teen audience. But the older males still showed up to see this movie even with the lighter rating. That audience is only so big though. Which is why they went PG-13 and tried to get the teenagers interested in this franchise in the first place. Like I said before this is basically performing like Expendables 1/2 domestically. Which had very little interest from woman or teenagers.
Aren't the majority of movie goers over 17? It's something like 15% of movie goers are under 17. All they did was attempt to appeal to a crowd that wasn't interested and alienate the ones that where. Maybe a lot more adults would have gone to see it had they not been put off by the low rating. Maybe the mistake was trying to appeal to a younger auidence instead of keeping the one they already had.
Hell, maybe teenagers would have been more interested had it carried a more mature rating. Made the movie more enticing, forbidden fruit if you will.
Why do you think R rated horror movies gross more than PG13 ones even though the target auidence is always teenagers? They see the PG13 ones as lame yet get enticed by the R rating.
-
lol Terminator might not pass 100m
Suitable punishment for selling out to PG-13.
-
Between Terminator and Magic Mike perhaps? Do they really think we give a shit which one made more?
Arnold fan boys do!
-
What are the chances of Terminator making below $10 million this weekend?
-
Is this good or bad?Rth is pretty much on point. Crazy that MMXXL and TG are down the same amount from last Wednesday given their 5-day IMs.
-
The punishment for Terminator Genisys selling out to PG13 MUST be more severe!
-
There where 2 negative reviews for this on Rotten Tomatoes this morning and now they have just vanished!
-
Terminator Genisys must be punished more for selling out to PG13, it deserves harsher and harsher drops.
Weekend Estimates: Minions - 115.2M; JW - 18.1M; Inside Out - 17.1M; Gallows - 10M; Self/Less - 5.4M; MMXXL - 9.6M; T5 - 13.7M
