While I'm happy Matt's back as Bourne, I'm not too sure I'm happy that Greengrass is back. Don't get me wrong, all 3 Bourne films are great and all, but Supremacy and Ultimatum were really frustrating to watch due to the over-usage of the shaky-cams (all action scenes the camera was shaking, and even non-action scenes where characters were just talking, the camera wasn't still).

Almost every article I've read is saying the film is doing a lot better than the studio expectations. But I think the true test will come when this film has to hold on against the big guns which are being released early next month (Interstellar, Big Hero 6).........

I'm really interested in what the budget was for this film. I have been hearing it's good from many people who've seen it already.

3x multiplier? Wow. I just heard the movie was alright, so I didn't know what to make of it. But that sure is surprising.

It says in Turkey, the movie was already released on 3 October? Check the link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0829150/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_ov_inf+

I see, so $166 million benchmark was passed.... (with it being $226 million)......Seems it did much better than what was expected LOL. Copied and pasted from imdb.com: Chile 16 October 2014 Colombia 16 October 2014 Czech Republic 16 October 2014 Slovakia 16 October 2014 Thailand 16 October 2014 Finland 17 October 2014 Poland 17 October 2014 Vietnam 17 October 2014 Cambodia 21 October 2014 Brazil 23 October 2014 Hungary 23 October 2014 Spain 24 October 2014 Italy 30 October 2014 Japan 31 October 2014 Paraguay 14 November 2014 Several markets, but I only see Spain, Italy, Japan as the major markets left.

Yeah, by the way, how much did Hansel and Gretel cost including its marketing costs? I know that production budget itself is $50 million, but don't quite know how much it was including marketing. Also, aren't some territories still waiting for Dracula to be released? I remember Japan as being one of them, with it being released very late October.

I was just made aware of Box office Mojo couple of days ago, and at least once every day, try to check out the movie Box Office to see what are hits and what are flops / misses. 2 x the budget? So I'm guessing Dracula needs to make at least $210 Million worldwide for there to be any chance of a sequel. I'm hearing a lot of people say it's ok / average, but not great (with Box office results), so was kinda feeling bummed about it. Hopefully drops will be very gradual over the next couple of weeks until other blockbusters arrive, and it becomes a hit that Studio heads will take notice to greenlight a sequel. I'm really new to this - been following the Box office for about 2~3 weeks now? So I guess in terms of knowledge (among Box office info and other stuff), you guys are more of veterans level , and I would be at baby level.

The trailer did get me intrigued. Sure, some aspects of it felt a bit dumb and unrealistic (maybe that was intended by the filmmakers), but it's always a pleasure to see Keanu in these kickass roles (and from the looks of the trailer it seems the role fits him nicely). And the reviews are coming back really positive, so I guess it must be better than the average tired-old revenge flick. And guys, he's also gonna be starring in a new TV show "Rain" which is a ten-episode action series (The directors for this film are the producers of the new series). http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/john-wick-keanu-reeves-willem-740614

So how is the movie (Dracula Untold) doing so far? Sorry, I'm no expert, and I don't really know how to interpret those numbers on the table.

If that's the case, I hope the movie doesn't drop too much in the coming weeks (for US domestic numbers).

Well, I think he's an easier actor (or better wording would be he gets along well with others, e.g. staff, other cast members, studios etc) too. But I don't think having role in the crossover will guarantee that he will be in any (possible) sequels. I think Marvel is still feeling the aftereffects of The Incredible Hulk, that they are active in all other projects (such as Doctor Strange movie etc), but are shirking away from an actual Incredible Hulk/Avengers sequels. Heck, only roles Ruffalo had got in MCU was first Avengers movie, minor cameo in Iron man 3, and Age of Ultron. Not sure when an actual Hulk solo film will be released at this rate. Even with an actual sequel, the only actors/actress they really need are Evans, Dance and Gadon right? I guess it all comes down to numbers. How well they do. Guess we'll have to wait and see (personally hoping it really does well in overseas.......I'm not too hopeful with the US domestic numbers)

I think a lot of studios are trying to play it safe with the whole PG-13 rating. Sure, PG-13 is not a guarantee it will be bad, but it's not necessarily a box-office magnet either (I shudder to think how Terminator Genisys will perform, since it's been told it's PG-13) I think a lot of people were expecting an R-rated film since it's Dracula (like the Coppola film?). But news articles by director, the cast etc clearly stated this is more of a family action adventure film. And the trailer didn't show any signs of it being R-rated. So I guess I wasn't put off by it being PG-13 as much as other people were. But oh well, that's just me.

Kinda reminds you of what they did with Marvel Cinematic Universe's Hulk right? Edward Norton was Banner/Hulk in The Incredible Hulk, but that didn't do so well in the Box office (if I remember correctly) and after negociations broke down for him to star in the first Avengers movie, they recast him with Ruffalo. I have nothing against Ruffalo (he did an okay job in Avengers), but personally (and I might as well be in the minority here and many MCU movies forums), I wish Marvel didn't recast Banner/Hulk role (despite Norton's reputation of being tough to work with actor). That's the thing I fear for this.

I did, despite it's faults. I've been kinda sick of vampire films such as Underworld, Blade, Twilight where vampires are basically like enhanced humans who suck on human blood. No other vampire traits whatsoever shown. Yes some of those films I like (I liked the first 2 Blade films), but if I had to objectively look at it from portrayal of Vampires, those films did not do that very well..

@ Frozen, @ Jonwo, what do you guys think will be the final Worldwide numbers at the end of its run? Sigh, I want to see the sequel for this. .....But I guess it they can't get the required numbers, then Evans, Dance (and maybe Gadon) coming in for a crossover will have to do.....

Hi Guys, I'm new to the forums here, and I'm pleased to meet you all. How much would Dracula Untold need to make to be a success and sequel to get green-lighted? Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters did pretty poor in domestic box office (US) but did really well for its overseas numbers, so sequel was announced. I wonder if Dracula can get similar results. (I read somewhere that including the budget + advertising and distribution fees DU cost $130 million, I wonder if this is true).
