Fancyarcher Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I'd say it's locked at this stage. If it doesn't make a billion domestic then it's a flop, no way of getting around that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Tele Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I just want it to make enough so that we all lose the max amount in the Winter Game. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) I just want it to make enough so that we all lose the max amount in the Winter Game. I predicted 225, which was the max... How much would it have to make>? Edited October 8, 2013 by ChD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Tele Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I predicted 225, which was the max... How much would it have to make>? Never mind, I just checked and there isn't a max amount you can lose. So you'll basically be in way better shape than the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAR Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Firedeep is the BOF equivalent of Grumpy Cat. Grumpy Cat is Robin Williams compared to Firedeep Edited October 8, 2013 by DAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Should do well now. I am deciding to watch it. I don't watch movies that flop lol (no Joke if I decide to watch a film it means its quite appealing to the mainstream) Last film I watched in Theaters was World War Z which I enjoyed.

Poseidon Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Of course it is not: Meet the Parents dropped 57.3% on first Monday, for example http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=daily&id=meettheparents.htm That's Canadian Thanksgiving. Same for "Taken 2". Just have a look at those drops on tuesday for those movies. Next try. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Tele Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Best wide release second weekend drops for the second week of October, going back the last several years: 2012: Frankenweenie (-38.2%) 2011: Ides of March (-32.1%) 2010: Social Network (-31.2%) 2009: Zombieland (-40.2%) 2008: Beverly Hills Chihuahua (-40.3%) 2007: Seeker: The Dark is Rising (-40.9%) 2006: The Departed (-29.2%) 2005: Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit (-28.1%) 2004: Shark Tale (-34.2%) 2003: School of Rock (-21.1%) TSN and DEPARTED seem like the best comps for me (well-received dramas aimed at adults). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 How do they operate still? They buy movies for cheap. Most Indie movie domestic distribution rights get sold for something like $1 million or less. They don't spend any money on advertising and rely on "free" media - press junkets , TV interviews etc.. Prints cost is low as well if you are not releasing the movie in more than a few dozen theaters simultaneously. VOD (including ITunes) has been a gamechanger. It isn't that hard for well-received indie movies to make more than a million or two just from VOD these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Of course that is a good number, a very good one. But it is not an out-of-the-world one either. It's an October record Monday. How much better would you like it to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
