The Stingray Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Sly's Dredd was shit. Big man even admitted that himself. Stop clowning yourself bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toymaker Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 How many times before it gets through your thick skull, really? I am not writing about critics opinion. I don't care even 0.00000000000000000000001% about critical reception. Is that clear enough for you now? This is a box office forum. I am talking in dollar earned. Dredd is an embarrassment.

The Toymaker Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Dredd weekend drops: 2nd: -62.3% 3rd: -72.7% 4th: -80.9% Where is this good WOM? Perhaps not everybody loved it. The numbers speak for themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toymaker Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Films only lose theaters because business is not good. WOM is non-existant. I'm sorry, but "losing a lot of theaters" is not a reason. Dredd added 51 theaters in week 2 and it dropped 62.3%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayumanggi Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 The competition now is different. Even THE EXPENDABLES ll didn't make 100 M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dredd added 51 theaters in week 2 and it dropped 62.3%. It's not like the 95 film was an example of stellar WOM. For the time, its legs were absolute rubbish. It's just lucky it had Stallone, otherwise it would've made even less especially OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toymaker Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Still performed better than Dredd 3D, which is an embarrassment for Lionsgate and the production company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Judge Dredd was a total box office failure and so was Dredd 3D. Both lost a ton of money. What's the discussion here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Dredd didn't lose money. After VHS and Laserdisc rentals and sales, it earned a profit. And, I don't know what the discussion is here. I'm merely pointing out the obvious that Judge Dredd made more than Dredd 3D and people don't like to read that because they feel that I am trying to skew opinion in favour of Judge Dredd, which I'm not. So they keep posting about why Dredd 3D performed badly yadda yadda yadda. It gets tedious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Wang Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Return on Investment (simple): Judge Dredd: $90m (budget) - ($34.7m + $39.4m) = $15.9m loss Dredd: $50m (budget) - ($13.22m + $5.0m) = $31.78m loss I was certain that the studios only got to keep, on average, half of the foreign gross. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here. So let's just change those numbers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Craig Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 This thread is sad read, I think I've had my fill of this pissing match.Good film, profit, revenue and comparisons be damned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Dredd 3D didn't make $15m. What's your point? That JUDGE DREDD would have done the same had it been released this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless your motive is to stir up some shit...? In which case, I'm happy to oblige, but you won't like how it goes for you.
