So what's this sudden decision not to post pics from Budapest?   Did somebody threaten them?

Thank you!

 

Doesn't Wanda stand to make money on Passengers?  I would think they would use their own theaters to run it if they are given the opportunity.

I guess 60m-70m-ish for the budget, depending on how much the Jlaw got paid.

 

Is the narrative of the book somewhat critical about Vladimir Poutine ?
 

Also, I must admit I am a bit worried about the russian accent thing.

 

Even if I understand why they do it, playing non english speaking characters that somehow earn their nationality through the accent always sounded ridiculous to me.

 

But hey, Hollywood magic, Jlaw will be russian here.

 

 

 

My guess was $65M, and for Jlaw about $15M, her current high quote is $20M after Passengers.   She's the only A-Lister in this one, so nobody else should be too high.

Well right now it's at $292,605,870 WW. Not sure if this already includes the OS weekend or not. Will be interesting to compare once actuals come in.

 

Domestic:	$97,405,870	33.3%
+ Foreign:	$195,200,000	66.7%
= Worldwide:	$292,605,870

 

So it will really only need, what, 4-5m from Japan? I don't think it's going to get to 100m domestic unless Sony pulls some miracle out of its sleeve. It just had an 800k weekend and will still be 2.6m short. Unless they can somehow keep it in 1,000 theaters for another month, and even then... It will probably close 1.5-2m short.

 

OS wise, Losing China will hurt. I'm not sure how much it did OS-C last weekend to extrapolate from that. I have no idea what to expect from Japan but obviously the less it needs from there, the better.

 

 

 

Unless they do what they did with Spectre.  Spectre was at $198M in mid-January and it went over $200M in mid-March, basically took 2 months to get there.  It never played in in more than 379 theaters through that entire period, and was below 300 for most that time.  It crawled it's way to $200M. 

 

All depends on how badly Sony wants the $100M feather in it's cap.
