Ozymandias Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Maybe there should be a poll of Dredd vs. Judge Dredd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toymaker Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 That would serve no purpose. You can just use Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB if you want to prove something that is worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoursTruly Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 YoursTruly, why are you even on here if you think that money doesn't matter? This is a box office site, man. If you think that a movie gets released solely for critical acclaim then you are so, so, so wrong. It gets released primarily for financial reasons, and secondly for critical praise. If it can have both, then great, but moeny is more important to the people that had the film made; the producers. Because it allowed them to make more movies.Box office analysis is fun, but it's not my favorite aspect of the film industry. Why am I here? I'm here because the people in this forum are passionate about movies. As for the economics of production, the end result is that some productions succeed and others fail, but the wheel never stops turning. I don't really care about wins or losses as long as the supply remains. I do feel some disappointment when talent goes unrewarded, but even if a player I enjoy gets bounced from the game, there's always another waiting to fill the vacuum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toymaker Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Judge Dredd was actually more of a success that you all think. BOM has it wrong, it's budget was not $90m. The budget was $65m-$75m. http://www.variety.com/article/VR117731 http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117792205/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toymaker Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 That's why I left it off, because it's merely an opinion and not worthy of any attention. Oh, will you look at that, I've given it more than it deserves already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Algren, you know people's opinions other than yours are valid right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toymaker Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 No opinions, including mine, are valid in determining which movie is more successful out of Dredd and Judge Dredd. Only facts are valid, and that is all I have presented here. Opinions = Reviews Facts = Box Office Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Judge Dredd also opened in the summer and starred one of the world's biggest stars at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toymaker Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Obvious observation there. It doesn't matter the reason you come up with, not only because they've all been mentioned before, but because Dredd has 17 years of inflation, and 17 years of emerging markets to at least get close, but it has laughably failed.

RichWS Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I'm not denying that and I have no vested interest in Dredd. I haven't seen it. Just making "the obvious observation". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opinions = Reviews Facts = Box Office We understand that as a fact JD was more successful than Dredd, you have drilled this into our skulls so god damn much, but what is wrong with us expressing that we prefer Dredd as a film?
