    Wednesday Numbers (TMI DOA w/$3m opening)

    Sony's doing fine. Here are their 2013 releases so far:

     

    The Call - 51m WW, 13m budget (profitable theatrically)

    Evil Dead - 97m WW, 17m budget (profitable theatrically)

    After Earth - 243m WW, 130m budget (slight loss theatrically)

    TITE - 97m WW, 32m budget (profitable theatrically)

    White House Down - 131m WW, 150m budget (big loss theatrically)

    Grown Ups 2 - 172m WW (to date), 80m budget (profitable theatrically)

    Smurfs 2 - 205m WW (to date), 105m budget (will be profitable theatrically)

    Elysium - 98m WW (to date), 115m acquisition budget (will probably break even theatrically)

    You're not including marketing costs which be just as much as the production budget for some movies so saying After Earth is only a 'slight loss' theatrically is a bit optimistic here, even though we don't know exactly how much Sony spent on marketing AE and other films worldwide it's bound to be at least 60-70m for AE and that would more than make up the difference between a 'slight loss' and a big one.

    Ouch.

    There are some strange rumors going around, some say that Uni didn't even bother to make an application for the film, and some officials is reported to have said that he did not think DM2 would do good business in the country, and it was even reported by some mainstreams news outlets in the west that the reason for this is because the minions resemble a certain Chinese leader of the past lol. But in any case, since the recent revelations that the CF group didn't pay any Hollywood studio the agreed share of their movies' gross at all in the last 10 months, it's not like Uni will miss it that much. It's only lost 'gross' on paper.

    But the demand for good action movies are always there. Show me another non superhero action franchise that can even compare with FF at this moment...yep there are none. Don't forget FF6 is #2 WW this year so far which would have been completely unimaginable even two years ago, heck even after the huge success of F5 there were still only a few people foresaw a further increase for F6, let alone something like this. As long as FF7 delivers what is expected of it there shouldn't be a dramatic decrease, and I think an increase overseas is also likely.

    Brutal drops across the board. The 'best' drop from holdovers is still 41.6% and thats from a 350m grosser which had stablished itself at around 35% in the last two weeks. I think perhaps even 'family competition' is secondary compared to the massive loss of screens due to four 3000+ theatre releases.

    Weekend Estimates: Elysium 30.5M; Millers 26.55M; Planes 22.53M; Percy Jackson 14.6M Pg 29

    It is called SUMMER ...

    But it has never been like THIS summer where a pixar animation sequel with good WOM in MU can barely manage a 3x, a 290m grosser in MOS never managed to stabilise at all, and films such as PR and Wolverine losing a third of its theatres in the third week. The competition for theatres in the last few weeks has been nothing short of brutal tbh.
