Chewy Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Amy Kaufman @AmyKinLA1h Early #s just came in, and oy: #RIPD may open w/ no more than $12m. #Turbo could also lose to #Red2, but they're both around $23m right now. http://variety.com/2013/film/news/r-i-p-d-is-latest-hollywood-bomb-1200565651/ “It’s a complete disaster,” one insider says of the costly feature.Another analyst points out that “R.I.P.D.” is 10% behind “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” which only earned $10.5 million its opening weekend. Thinking the TC is heading for 20m+ Fri way things are looking ,RFID around 5, Turbo/R2 7-8 Not looking like TC will get to 20m, TC 17-18m,DM2 7.1,R2 6.5-8,GU2 6.4,Turbo 6.2,RFID 4.7-5,SR 4.6,TH 2.8,WWZ/MU 1.5, TFR 1.2 Edited July 21, 2013 by baumer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Four of the biggest disappointments this summer were all non-sequels. If anything you will see more sequels. Not a bad thing in this particular case as RIPD bombing makes Wanted 2 more likely and I am all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) The Variety article is already building up a storyline for this summer: Still, the chilly reception is a wake-up call for Hollywood. “R.I.P.D.” follows recent fiascoes “The Lone Ranger,” starring Johnny Depp, “Pacific Rim” and Will Smith’s “After Earth,” all of which were non-sequels.

John Marston Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I can't fucking believe Universal took Oblivion out of that July spot and put RIPD there. Or at least they could have put Riddick there 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyneOh1040 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I'm not surprised with that R.I.P.D number but good grief. Whoever approved that concept for this kind of budget was insane anyway. I don't think even with a good script and solid reviews this could have ever recouped the massive budget it had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) The Variety article is already building up a storyline for this summer: I agree. This was my main takeaway from the article and they are correct. If non-sequels are bombing domestically then studios have no reason to make them because sequels are even more lucrative in the overseas markets.
