baumer Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Why can't original films succeed?Then we can have Lone Ranger 2, RIPD 2 and After Earth 2 instead of Avengers 2/SW7/Finding Dory.Admit it. Other than Pacific Rim the audience has been making the right picks. Pacific Rim being ignored is also apropos as well imo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 WHD, TLR, PR, and RIPD will all fail to make 100M. These last four weeks have definitely delivered as the month of the bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 You're either familiar with Lex or you're not. Never heard of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 This is all predicated on me knowing who LEXG is. This is true. It's wrong to assume everybody follows him on Twitter and knows his sense of humor. Even still, it's funny to see people up in arms about Red 1. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is PR really going to miss 100? I haven't calculated it out but is it really possible? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcclaine Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I don't give a shit if that bumbshit doesn't remember Red 1. I also don't give a shit to people clamming that nobody asked for Red 2. Any movie with Bruno in it, is a must see for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halba Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Is PR really going to miss 100? I haven't calculated it out but is it really possible? 56% drop forecast. the multiplier will be in the mid 2's which is a small miss of $100m e.g. pac rim $52mil currently set for $16.5mil gross(-56%) add dailys for 4 days next week ~$6m add 3rd weekend -52% = 7.9m add dailys 3rd weekdays $2.5m add 4th weekend $3.9m add remaining daily's till end of run- $2.5m add last big weekend $2m add extra $3m buffer for remaining weekends = $97m. looks like a miss.

CoolioD1 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 @LexG_III All these movies with plots about GOVERNMENT LEVELS and SCIENCE and HISTORY, how does ANYBODY KNOW THAT SHIT? Is it all made up? 7/17/13 2:58 AM @LexG_III Like PACIFIC RIM or INCEPTION, who can think of DIFFERENT LEVELS and DNA and SCIENCE shit? Who knows ANYTHING about science? 7/17/13 3:00 AM you skipped out on the best Lex tweet from the past couple days. LexG @LexG_III18 Jul The main dude STEVE SNATCH in PUSSYMAN 4 looks like Steve from early Married with Children. Every scene is strong.

Jessie Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 But I don't get the joke. I'm just asking someone to explain it to my dumb ass. Thanks Baumer, for a second there I thought I was alone on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertron Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Big budgeted films are ok if the film property is big itself. There's no point in giving $250-300m+ to John Carter and Battleshit when there's no guarantee on return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
