John Marston Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 If it hasn't been posted anywhere yet, $505,000 FRI for Man of Steel.Total up to $283.686 m.Another terrible hold but it's expected. The rapid screen loss is killing the holdovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 So there is a 3rd movie because STID flopped? It didn't flop but it didn't make more money (that its increased budget aimed for) either. And before anyone brings up slight OS jump, studios still make the most money from dom OW and while OS totals look good on paper, studios don't see much of it. Also, Narnia had 3 or 4 sequels altogether, despite second movie's serious drop. So obviously, like in STiD case, merchandize saves the day not tickets sold.

CJohn Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 RED 2 swiped $6.3M on Friday, and will debut with less than $20M this weekend. The original opened w/ $21M. Lionsgate just killed a franchise by releasing it in the Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The studios still get at least 35% of international grosses, 45% for major films. Even using the lowest usual figure I'm sure Paramount didn't mind pocketing over $75 million from STID's overseas run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efialtes76 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Totally. Give credit where it's due here. Original SH. No 3D. Over $200 mio. And some call STiD a success. STID was the best blockbuster of the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how huge jumps sequels to trully anticipated movies make, STiD is probably the lowest increasing over-budgeted sequel in recent memory.

fishstick Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 STID was the best blockbuster of the summer. In a summer where all blockbusters were meh to ugh, that's no a compliment. I also disagree.

Considering how huge jumps sequels to trully anticipated movies make, STiD is probably the lowest increasing over-budgeted sequel in recent memory. That's because the first only did $128 million. STID was NOT a moneymaker, but it's percentage increase over the first film internationally was still decent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 I kinda cringe every time I read someone gush about STID That's a movie that people are going to look back on in a couple years and wonder what they were thinking when they raved about it It's sooooooo much worse than ST09 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#ED Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I personally feel that way about IM3...IM3 is not a bad movie but I completely disliked the 2nd half of the movie. It turned into a complete joke. Literally. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
