baumer Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) Maybe next time they'll think twice before turning a 300-page book into a trilogy. 3 billion dollars later, WB was correct for turning it into three movies. Look, I don't know if anyone hated the movie more than me, but from a business standpoint, they did the right thing.

JJ-8 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 That number is just..... still holding on for something to give a positive vibe (ie. making it to 300m) ... not looking good at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop trying to make $300m happen. It's NOT going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 3 billion dollars later, WB was correct for turning it into three movies. Look, I don't know if anyone hated the movie more than me, but from a business standpoint, they did the right thing. They killed the possibility of other middle earth sagas - McKellen said last year that a Gandalf movie was a possibility, parts from appendices like 'The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen',etc. Even if they do get made, the goodwill and profit they garner will be less than if The Hobbit was 2 more well received movies.

LOL They didn't kill anything. It's like saying that Lucas killed SW after AOTC because it "disappointed". Or that Bond was killed with the Timothy Dalton films. Or that Mission Impossible / Fast & Furious sagas were dead after their third part. Be sure: if WB does new films focusing in the Silmarillion, on Gandalf or something involved with Middle Earth, they will make a lot of profits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I'm all for a film that involves Aragorn. H'e s one of the best things about the originals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 In fact, if anything, The Hobbit trilogy has proven that there's a huge amount of money for every film dealing with the Tolkien universe. There's a great cinematic life after LOTR. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) Ian wanted to quit The Hobbit. The creative and artistic expression was terrible. Don't spread lies. He didn't like the green screen work, not working with actors, that's the extend of it. That only applied to scenes with the dwarfs, most of which were shot for the first movie.

Captain Craig Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 All I really want is the TDW number. I was already prepared for DoS. It's not likely to happen but be nice for TDW to hit $200m on Thorsday!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
