I'm thinking this did well on home video

You do know you are overreacting right? Animated movies and especially Dreamworks movies always have good legs, and this is the competition these movies have till the END OF JULY Transformers (in 2 weeks) Apes Jersey Boys/Think Like A Man Too (the only two "big" openers next week) Planes 2 (in a month) Earth to Echo (in 3 weeks) Tammy Purge 2 Sex Tape Hercules August is more packed that this next month and half (GOTG, TMNT, Expendables 3, Let's Be Cops, Get on Up, Sin City 2, As Above so Below, The Giver, Into the Storm, and If I Stay) Last June we had Man of Steel/This is the End one weekend, MU/WWZ the next, The Heat/White House Down after that, and Lone Ranger/Despicable Me 2 after that. Wot?

The media companies own billboards, newspapers, tv channels (network, basic and premium cable), radio, and more. They can advertise something like John Carter when they don't sell a TV spot on say Disney-owned ESPN. Then they don't have to sell a spot for too little to something like Chia Pet during Monday Night Football which will make you look basement. Then you sell the television rights to your movie back to yourself for whatever you want cause all you are doing is shuffling money from one division to another. That's why Fox could only sell the syndicated rights to The Simpsons to themselves cause no one else could afford it. These companies have been around 100 years most of them. Hollywood may be liberal but they know how to make money.

Smaller studios have a smaller pool of hit movies to make sequels from. That's why you get Red 2 for example. This had a 4x multiplier so why not try for a sequel. I'm sure it sold well on home video

Also movies with high multipliers that aren't sequels make the theaters the most money. The theater gets a higher percentage the longer it plays

http://boxofficemojo.com/alltime/weekends/moreweekends.htm?page=12&p=.htm You can calculate from here. One of the best of the modern era is Silver Linings Playbook. x298 from limited opening and about x30 from wide release

What type of money does Oprah have that makes her look better when she is 30 years older?

What about these two

Jobs family owns about 7% stake in Disney and their movies were the first ones you could get on the video Ipod, their trailers premeire on apple.com first not to mention a million other things.

Disney made $2,318,689,689 world wide off of MU, IM3, and Oz. Not including the Lone Ranger money. Also with every media company, movies make up about 10% of revenue and Televitz makes the rest. They have Disney Channels, ESPN, and ABC networks, not to mention anytime a Disney movie is advertised on one of these networks it just shuffles from one of end of the company to the other until one of the channels like ABC Family buys the broadcast rights for a rediculous sum from themselves and it flows back into another division. Disney unlike others makes boat loads off merch, theme parks, home media and more. And they are tied in with Apple which has more money than the US gov. There is a reason why these companies have been around about 600 years combined.

They need to do a movie about the good things cops do. Like this one that bought a black boy some food when he didn't have enough money...and then got shot and killed moments later by a black guy in his squad car. Or the one just last week that gave two black teenagers a ride to the gas station...and then they shot a guy at the pump in the head and stole his car. Or they could make a big fuss over Eve Carson, Christian/Newsome, Bailey O'Neil, Antonio Santiago, Autumn Pasquale, the Witichita Massacre, or the Zebra murders.

Now You See Me, The Heat, WWZ, and This is the End all did well

Why doesn't Disney just switch Captain America's April date with Maleficient's July 4th date? Wizard of Oz and Alice did well in the spring and Captain America should be on July 4th

Skyfall is going to be on Epix in July. That means a cable channel started by Paramount, Lionsgate, and MGM will show 3 of the 4 highest 2012 grossers (The Avengers, Skyfall, and Hunger Games) that equal 1.3 billion domestic. MGM really made a comeback with Bond and The Hobbit

Probably getting back at them for having to wait for Zelda and Final Fantasy

Also Eminem music in Call of Duty and MI4 trailers

It's real easy to break the record when all you collect is an 8% distribution fee from Dreamworks and Marvel. That's 4 big movies you won't get much from.

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (if it counts)The AvengersMIB III (maybe)Brave (maybe)The Amazing SpidermanIce Age 4Dark Knight Rises

MuppetsTuesday midnightmost of the trailers were heckled, Small Fry got big laughs and The Muppets got clapping at the end
