redfirebird2008 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Yeah, but we're not really comparing profits or budgets here. The amount that a studio spends doesn't equal the amount that a studio will make. We're just talking BO here. No one thought Oz had any chance to gross more than STiD. And almost no one was impressed when Oz grossed $231M; a lot of people considered it disappointing. So it's a huge shocker if STiD grosses less than Oz. I didn't think $231m was disappointing at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Before the Trek reboot if someone said a Trek film would have made over 200 million would it have been considered a disappointment? True but with expanding markets, this isn't a great result for Paramount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Before the Trek reboot if someone said a Trek film would have made over 200 million would it have been considered a disappointment? Not if when it costed nearly 200M to produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Disney and theater chains will probably use the same tactic to give IM3 a boost with MU 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Isn't it really only UK and AUS and US/Can that have big drops? I guess that constitutes most of the predominant English speaking countries. Yeah that's what I mean, NA, UK and OZ are the three main ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Oz over STID both DOM/OS ... who would think. I actually always said STiD wouldn't do more than 250M OS. But I also did said at some point that it would do over 400M DOM (my final prediction was 315M in the BGS). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
