Again, I'll say...I called a $15-25 mil. OW a week or so ago. A few people laughed... ;-) Also, so-called "tracking" has been *way* off this Summer. Unfortunately, we'll have to resort to calling it "tranking" now for predicting flops... -
The Gift apparently cost $7.5 million, including P&A. And good WOM is already spreading. Amazing how so much can be wasted on creative/executive misfires like FF just for studio hubris.
-
You'd think they'd want to go for a different title, at least, just to separate themselves from the Hansel & Gretel debacle a few years back. But this looks too much like that, as well as Seventh Son...and Sorcerer's Apprentice.

As in, Serkis/Jackson's Kong is from an alternate universe and he will meet up with the Skull Island Kong in the sequel, right? ;-)
-
Serkis is doing Kong again? But it doesn't tie to Jackson's, right?
-
He didn't utter the word "family"...that's why this will bomb. ;-)
-
Sounds like Crowe talks fizzled out quickly...I get the feeling this may be a script thing... And sure, why not add SLJ? This'll be his "Nick Fury" money for the year...

dame By The Sea | Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt (Nov 13)
Macleod replied to BobbyJohn's topic in Box Office Discussion
Looks interesting! -
I was more interested in this when it was going to star Keanu Reeves and I think Rachel McAdams.
-
This will not stay in Feb...unless they film it and turns out like the FF reboot. I wonder if they have a story that they think spans two films? And they must be working on deals for Smith and Lawrence as we speak.
-
Agreed. I think this will go ahead quicker than people think. These Jack Reacher films aren't three figures like the M:I franchise. It's a much smaller plate...or at least the first one was. What's Cruise have booked in the fall, anything?
-
Not just any birds...John Woo doves! ;-)
-
They tried that with Renner. He's lacking charisma. And it almost always feels contrived when they try that kind stuff. I see Cruise taking this momentum as far as he can, one or two more. My bet is when he's done, Paramount fully reboots...or basically does, and has Cruise cameo as a mentor.
-
"Gangbusters" feels inadequate to describe how well this film is doing...wow. Me, personally, 4:30pm showing this afternoon, theatre was 70% full, crowd reacted well, biggest jump being

-
That's what I was thinking...I wasn't really following development closely for this...did they try to get Goldblum for this? Because he doesn't seem to have a problem being in ID2. I could understand if they wanted more of a "fresh" take...but I wouldn't be surprised at all if we saw him back in the next one...
-
Last report we had was that 48% of these receipts are from 3-D, right? That, to me, is also rather impressive...everyone I talk to usually seems complacent or ambivalent about 3-D...but this got them out for it...
-
Widest release in Universal's history = not underbooking theatres, right? I think the sold out shows are simply due to an extraordinary, and yes, under-estimated demand...but not underbooking theatre numbers...
-
Yep, and certain people like me who either A) avoided the weekend, B ) couldn't get into sold-out shows, C) were otherwise busy, D) are actually off certain weekdays, or even E) waited to hear WOM...forbodes a VERY good Monday and week! I'm seeing this in a few hours for the first time...will report back here on crowd and my impression, etc. after.

I already have been, today! Thanks!

Greetings. Long-time observer, first time poster. ;-) But I was prompted to join today simply to say that I purchased tickets for 'Jurassic World' for Monday afternoon...and I'm glad I did, by the looks of things... (both waiting, and ahead of time...like my own existence!)
