John Marston Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 So because of that it is true? Because it is on THR headline? if it makes that much it will be due to good WOM and legs since openings are not amazing. Not star power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) I think star power is being overrated here, regardless of how well Gravity does. There is so much more to what makes big numbers for a film than the actors, it's not as if Life Of Pi made its 484M on the back of Suraj Sharma's star power... Maybe. Gravity OW DOM doubled that of LOP. I think Bullock's star power has something to do with that. Edited October 6, 2013 by firedeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) Maybe. Gravity OW DOM doubled that of LOP. I think Bullock's star power has something to do with that. It has more to do with amazing trailers and great WOM than anything else. Edited October 6, 2013 by druv10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 It has more to do with amazing trailers and great WOM than anything else. Everyone knows. But Bullock's star power certainly helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickvD Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 No one says Bullock/Clooney are not stars OS, just not as big stars as they are in US. They are definitely not big A-lister/box office draws internationally. I never said they are Box Office draws. But I'm starting to suspect you have difficulty reading... A-Listers and Box Office draws are two different things. Adam Sandler is a BO draw, but he will never be A-list. Clooney and Bullock might not be BO draws on the level of Depp or Downey Jr., but they are as A-list as it gets. Even overseas. Sure it differs per country. But do not confuse your own experiences in your country with all international regions. Here in The Netherlands, Sandra Bullock is a household name as one the public's favorite actresses. And Clooney is every bit as popular. Once again, A-list and Box Office are two different things. Oprah doesn't really rake in the cash because she rarely makes a movie. But she's an A-list megastar.

Boxx93 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Gravity isn't Avatar of Life of Pi. I never said it was another Life of Pi and much less Avatar, what I said is that exist a possibility that Gravity can get close to World War Z numbers WW with good WOM. After all this is just the first weekend of Gravity in theatres, things can change the next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Except we are not talking about being well known . We are talking about being actual draws Some of the names mentioned are only really a draw when they are in their blockbuster/franchise roles.

Dementeleus Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I have no idea what GRAVITY's release schedule is, but it's hardly uncommon for a film to open in 20-30 countries and then open in another 30+ and have a larger second weekend than the first.
