  1. Has Oblivion been pulled from cinemas? There's no numbers. I was hoping it would crawl to $90 million.
  2. It's called a promotion. You give away free stuff in the hope that it will lure people in to buy other stuff. It happens all the time.
  3. I'd say without Iron Man 3 it would have made 10% more. Bloody Iron Man. With a good marketing compaign it would have made $350m. Marketing campaign was the worst for a big studio movie since John Carter. They played the plot too close to their chests, hoping people would be intrigued by a mystery, but instead it failed to capture what the story was about or give the movie a hook.
  4. Oblivion will turn a profit for the studio, After Earth won't. I guarantee Oblivion's marketing wasn't the reputed $100m for After Earth.
  5. No, but they probably are a bit tired of the mediocre-poor movies he's been making. His last somewhat good movie was I AM LEGEND.
  6. That horrible Mark Wahlberg movie that made 3X its budget worldwide?
  7. It most certainly is a feature film. especially back in 1921. Any film above 40 minutes is considered a feature film for awards and festival consideration.
  8. I'm basing it on the fact that Iron Man 3 made over $1 billion and I have zero interest in seeing it.
  9. Superhero movies are dull and beyond overstaturated now. I'm done with them. Same thing over and over. The tipping point was Amazing Spider-Man which proved the superhero genre is so bereffed of any new ideas that they were remaking a ten year old film. I also fail to see what the fuss about Man of Steel is, I saw it when it was called Superman I and Superman II.
  10. There's no way they spent much more than that. The marketing was lacklustre both in terms of quality and saturation. They didn't even have a Superbowl trailer, something that makde perfect sense considering its release date. Universal effectively dumped this movie and banked almost solely Cruise's star power to sell it.
  11. Marketing focused too much on mystery and Cruise wandering a desolate world, which I personally loved but the majority of today's audiences are morons who want non-stop CGI action. They should have cut an epic action trailer. Still for this type of still it did well. Post-apoc movies traditionally haven't done gangbusters at the box office - there have been more disaster stories than success stories.
  12. Iron Man doesn't open for 2 weeks. It won't have that big an impact on this. Oblivion has this week and next all to itself to make a nice bit of coin.
  13. When your most advertised "joke" is a man getting hit between the legs by a door, you know you're utter crap.
  14. Who are you to say who he goes out with? Stop being a cretin.
  15. Depp is a draw in a certain kind of movie - family Disney films in which he plays a comic character. Then he makes films like The Libertine and The Rum Diary and they die on their ass. Adjusted for inflation The Firm made over $500m WW. Let's see Depp propel a movie like that to those sorts of figures. Top Gun, Rain Man, War of the Worlds and the first two Mission: Impossible films all adjust to around $800m.
  16. France f-ing love their animated films. No surprise.
  17. Prometheus numbers (400 WW) would be very good. Acceptable would be 300m.
