The BFG was a bit complicated as it was financed and distributed by various different companies so the risk was spread, Disney likely didn't lose much money from The BFG wheres eOne who had UK rights likely did very well out it -
Munich was one although it was critically acclaimed, The BFG which I really liked wasn't financially successful and 1941 was a flop as well
-
I agree, as long as he can produce a hit either commercially, critically or both once in a while then studios will take a punt. Both Spielberg and Zemeckis have had their fair share of flops but they are still sought after for projects likewise with Eastwood
-
$80-85m five days is still pretty solid, it's not Frozen but frankly that was a freak of nature, I'm sure Disney will be happy with the result.
-
2022 seems too soon especially, I reckon the latter half of the 2020s so there is a gap between FB and Cursed Child
-
I'm surprised Renner hasn't done comedy, he'd be good in a supporting role similar to Tilda Swinton in Trainwreck, Ryan Gosling in Crazy, Stupid, Love and The Nice Guys were great comedy roles although I suspect neither him or Renner would do a comedy like Why Him?
-
Renner's good in Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation but he's overshadowed by Tom Cruise and even his co-stars.
-
It's a shame that Your Name only has a limited release but hopefully it can expand should it be successful this weekend Fantastic Beasts should have another solid weekend, the competition is pretty minimal

Mortal Engines | December 14, 2018 | Universal
Jonwo replied to Fancyarcher's topic in Box Office Discussion
I suspect with Avatar 2 in December, Disney wasn't going to risk putting it there plus they already have Mary Poppins Returns on Christmas Day. I imagine Episode XIII will be December 2019 but all other spin-offs will alternate between December and May. I am surprised Disney didn't opt for Indiana Jones to go to Memorial Day but I imagine Mulan will move there. -
Zemeckis hasn't had much luck with projects. I'm surprised the budget was $85m but I guess Pitt's salary is a big chunk of the budget Even if it does $100m OS, it'll still lose money.

KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE | Sep 22, 2017 | Trailer on page 15
Jonwo replied to CJohn's topic in Box Office Discussion
I wouldn't be surprised if that moves up to mid to late August or even early to mid September. -

November's unlikely because it's too packed and WB's main priority is Justice League and December is Star Wars which is a no good, I think they could switch dates with CHiPS which is scheduled for August 11th, September 29th seems more likely IMO -
$332m WW on a $250m budget isn't good at all.
-
Even the not so successful films like Storks and Kubo were good. I really want to see Your Name because I've read rave reviews about it.
-
The Good Dinosaur was a troubled production so it was either going to be really successful or as it did flop badly. The Thanksgiving slot can either be really good as we've seen with Frozen, Tangled and now Moana or it can be really bad as evident with TGD, Penguins of Madagascar and Rise of the Guardians. I would say the first weekend of November is a better slot for animated films even though it's had its fair share of flops
-
I expect Mulan will move to May 2019 and for Blade Runner 2049 to move up a week to September 29th. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony moves the animated Spider-Man film up a week to avoid Avatar 2.

Alien: Covenant | 5/19/2017 | Who needs mystery?
Jonwo replied to Neo's topic in Box Office Discussion
I think Wonder Woman will stay put, I think Annabelle 2 and Wimpy Kid will move to August -
It looks good but I suspect it won't be a commericial success.
-
The Nice Guys was WB domestic only, it was distributed by local distributors elsewhere. Some of the New Line films this year co-produced with MGM and also Central Intelligence with Universal won't be distributed by WB either in some markets or all markets OS.
-
Does it justify its rating? I was surprised to find out it was R rated. In terms of Zemeckis films, where would you rank it.
-
Moana has no real competition for families apart from Ballerina, which a French animated film dubbed into English and likely won't do big business and Monster Trucks. I am surprised Sing isn't opening until January as it would have done quite well in December, it'll probably do well in January but it only has three weeks until Lego Batman. £20m sounds about right for Rogue One, not as high as TFA but still brilliant
-
I think Sing will be successful but I have a feeling it probably won't do as well as Pets but $250-300m domestic seems likely with a lower OS total than Pets. I do wonder what Warner Bros' expectations for Justice League next year, it has the plum mid November slot so they must be expecting $130-140m OW minimum.
-
I'm curious to see how Moana fares, I'm thinking it'll open between The Good Dinosaur and Frozen so £3.5-4m OW,
-
I imagine Parker and Stone's next feature film would be The Book of Mormon.
-
AMC Empire 25 is usually top 5, it probably would have been number 1 if it had FB exclusively although still impressive that both combined would have charted at 2. What where their rankings?
