RED SPARROW | 03.02.18 | Fox | Jennifer Lawrence
trifle replied to kayumanggi's topic in Box Office Discussion
It seems like a full on action movie. The book is heavy with spycraft. On further thought, I think the trailer is likely to be with Kingsman since that is also a Fox movie. -

It fits Kingsman better as a movie, but mother! also makes sense. I'm seeing both, so with luck I'll catch this in theater. -

Well, someone got to see a trailer. Wonder when we will... https://twitt https://twitter.com/George323818/status/904388063043903488 -
which would be more than 2.5 times its budget, domestic alone, and fantastic! (PS, personally, I think people on AW are trolling eachother.) This is a risky movie. It may do fantastically, or it may 'merely' make money. I don't have enough information to guess which, but as a Jennifer Lawrence fan, I'm here for her risky, possibly too-intense-for-general-audiences, movie. And clearly, it is a risk Bardem, Pfeiffer, Harris etc were also willing to take. I'm pretty sure I will be damned proud of 'this ship' regardless of the box office.

I kinda needed your part, too, to have any idea what you were talking about. So I went back. I can't predict at all what the box office will be here. I will only be disappointed if it doesn't make money and at a $13M budget, it would be hard for it not to make money. There is too much rumor and no concrete fact about the film, no reviews, no unguarded audience reactions. I get that it may be more intense and controversial than other films Jen has been in, and possibly even more so than other films Aronofsky has directed. What that says about the size of the audience, I don't know. I don't think controversial necessarily means bad box office, and could mean people go specifically to see what the movie is about. I'm going, of course. I'm going with someone I don't usually go to movies as much with, who likes horror. I don't know if that says anything about the general public. I respect your well documented and thoughtful opinions on box office, and I will be beyond thrilled if it has a $20M OW. I'd be happy with the ones projected, and anything else is reason for celebration. Mind you, I'm open to celebration! this is the line I had to go back to to make sense of your thread. I don't think the two situations are comparable. This movie is a director lashing out in frustration at the turn of political and environmental events. I agree gore doesn't necessarily kill it's box office, but we can't say gore necessarily bolsters it, either. We just don't know enough about the film to know what it will make at this point, or I don't, anyhow!

This. And it is opening near-worldwide - maybe not in China, but China theatrical sites have posted about it. This is a risky project, but it should still make money, even if the general public finds it hard to watch.
