Said machete will bomb

 

It was obvious it would.

[The Stingray]

So happy Gravity is performing the way it does. When was the last time an original sci-fi, not called called Avatar or Inception, did this well?

 

1. Good news - Hopefully, we'll get more big budget, original sci-fis.

 

2. Bad news - We will get more crappy 3D conversions.

Are you sure it bombed? What is the budget?

[ChD]

2. Bad news - We will get more crappy 3D conversions.

 

Probably the second. People are too lazy to come with origina sci-fi's like this was.

 

About the performing, no idea, but Independence Day opened to 50M and finished with 300M, so...

[ChD]

Are you sure it bombed? What is the budget?

 

Around 20M, I presume... With some shitty marketing, maybe a little bit more. It won't make enough to cut even.

[TLK]

Gravity is an outlier. I hope studio executives aren't stupid enough to read too much into its success.

I just checked BOM and the budget isn't listed. But man that cast list

 

with the exception of Mel Gibson that's the who's who of c-z list actors.

 

 

Actors:

Danny Trejo Michelle Rodriguez Sofia Vergara Amber Heard Charlie Sheen Antonio Banderas Jessica Alba Alexa Vega Vanessa Hudgens Cuba Gooding, Jr. Mel Gibson

Are you sure that Gravity is sci-fi? Are you really sure?

A lot of people are saying it isn't. More like Apollo 13.

2. Bad news - We will get more crappy 3D conversions.

If anything, I hope the contrary - Gravity is proof that people still are ready to pay for 3D if it's well done. They opt for the cheaper 2D when it's a crappy conversion.

But im sure it will make a shit load on Blu-ray/Streaming/On Demand. 

 

They will make there  money.

May gravity pull rth down to this very forum to give updates to us earthlings.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

300m is done.

[lab276]

Why are there no Friday estimates yet?

[kayumanggi]

Everyone is watching RUNNER RUNNER that's why.

[CloneWars]

My hope is that the film studios take away that if they make a good 3D experience people will come because that is something they can only get in the theater. Make 3D special.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

It depends on the filmmakers.

 

Only a few capable directors can deliver quality 3D. 

[Robertron]

300m is done.

As in... It's happening? ....or it's not??
