So they might make around $1.5b with 15 movies that likely cost in excess of $1.5b to make? Wow, clearly the stuff of studio envy... The fact is, Ocean's 8, The Nun, and Fantastic Beasts are their only films this year that stand a good shot of turning a strong profit for them. That's not good when you have so many films and so few aren't high budget.

WB crashed and burned hard with their biggest event film in their current biggest franchise 6 months ago, taking an actual loss on the movie, and now they've just unleashed 3 consecutive big budget franchise starters that are failures to launch in a little over the span of a month. They are not "fine" right now. Don't think all of that is going to go ignored or without concern over at the studio. If the exact same thing had happened to Disney, everyone would practically be calling for the end of the world.

WB should be putting a ton of stock into making sure Godzilla 2 turns out as good as possible right now and then throw lots of marketing money at it so that Kong v Godzilla in 2020 has a legitimate shot to blow up. DCEU is way too rocky right now to count on and FB will probably remain extremely OS heavy. They need a big new franchise sooner than later.

Watch it open below Tomb Raider. The Rock earlier today reacting to the oh so prestigious 50% RT score on Twitter: Wow! Very cool RAMPAGE news! Not pointing to the scoreboard yet, but it seems we may have finally broken the dreaded video game curse. And remember, I starred in the stinker “Doom” so I have lived thy curse 🙏🏾 Hope ya like flashbacks, 'cuz you're about to relive it all over again, Dwayne.

Well, they were. TFA had some of the best new character building of any modern blockbuster. Ah well. -
THE Incredibles 2 | June 15, 2018 | NO SPOILERS!!!!
MovieMan89 replied to Neo's topic in Box Office Discussion
Bob - "Combustion imminent! What does that mean?" *Jack Jack explodes* Edna - "It means fire, Robert." Lmao, her delivery of that had me cracking up. That and the end bit with Frozone were the best parts. That's definitely more effective marketing than what's come before. The humor at least looks up to par (no pun intended), and the end of the trailer hinted at some cool family action scenes. Still hope we don't get too much of the stay at home Dad part though. -
WB is completely stupid for not marketing Crazy Rich Asians whatsoever yet. Unless they know the movie is a real stinker, it seems like it would have a lot of breakout potential. They desperately need that and Oceans 8 to breakout this summer. Otherwise The Nun and Fantastic Beasts may be their only real success stories this year.

Yikes @ the Rampage estimate. I can’t see why it would have better legs than TR did, especially with IW coming right around the corner. Also bad for RPO if that holds. WB took a loss on Justice League, which made roughly 1x its budget DOM and 3x WW. TR, RPO, and Rampage are all looking to be in a similar 3x their budget WW boat, except none will make their budget back DOM. Whether any of them end up profitable or not, it won’t be by much. Without China, all three would have been bonafide bombs. WB is not in good shape.

If WOM is amazing, then maybe a small increase. But I won't be surprised if it opens to something like 175m, so it would have some work to do for legs. -
RAMPAGE | 13 April 2018 | Warner Brothers | Dwayne Johnson
MovieMan89 replied to kayumanggi's topic in Box Office Discussion
I think Hollywood has screwed the pooch too many times for too long when it come to video game movies and audiences are over it. One shitty one after the other, never getting better. Now the genre finally seems like it has been taking a step in the right direction with TR and this one, but unfortunately it seems the GA are done giving them chances. I think we're going to need a truly great one with a great marketing campaign to break the stigma at this point. -

MovieMan89 replied to kayumanggi's topic in Box Office Discussion
The MT performance is kind of pathetic for this kind of a film. It's doing way worse than PRU did there. Granted that didn't have quite as much competition, but the competition isn't huge for Rampage either. -
