grim22 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) The Mojo headlines get weirder every week. This week's effort from Ray 'Ender' Wins Box Office 'Game,' Looking forward to "No 'Dark World' at the Box Office as Thor hammers down" and "Box office 'Catches Fire' as Katniss hits the Bullseye" (the second one writes itself) Edited November 3, 2013 by grim22 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) But Ender's game wont make a profit for the studio unless it grosses more than 100m right? so you cant say its doing 'pretty well'. The best it can hope for is 70-80m and that's probably not enough for a sequel. Unless it starts doing gangbusters overseas which is unlikely. Objectively, it's not doing pretty well.....it's just there. It's not going to get a sequel because the other books don't lend themselves well to a movie franchise. But let's break down the numbers: 110m - published production budget 44m - foreign pre-sales 56m = remaining outlying production expense Summit/Odd Lot/Digital Domain basically need to gross around 115-120m WW to break even on their production budget. It looks like EG should get at least 70m domestically, so basically they need 50m overseas to do that. We don't know what foreign territories they pre-sold, or what the terms were, but overall the picture is looking pretty positive for the studio & distributors.

They would need something like 130-150m (counting marketing) domestic alone to break even Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympus Has Fallen will have a sequel called London Has Fallen and the main trio will return. Everything can have a sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would need something like 130-150m (counting marketing) domestic alone to break even You don't sell the rights to every single territory. You also might not sell off all the gross to a single territory; a lot of times a deal might be structured so -- in return for their money -- the distributor get an increased percentage of the gross until the total gross for that territory hits a certain number, and then the studio starts getting a better percentage. But we don't know any of these details, and we'll never know unless somehow the contracts are leaked. So, all we know is they sold 44m in foreign pre-sales (but we don't know which territories), and that Summit is the domestic distributor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
