Jack Nevada Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I'm starting to think that Nicolas Cage is the best actor alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Fox handle that? Because the presence of the advertising seems way down from when Paramount distributed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck0 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 J-Katz needs to muster up a little magic. He just has to find another struggling animation studio with a long and successful history to make fun of... maybe he could just spin off another company and start making fun of DWA? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Which is going to underperform. Doubt it. The last one performed massively internationally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 2.5X gives it 150. Yeah, but it probably wouldn't have that kind of multiplier. Seems like the kind of movie destined to drop 60% second weekend, no matter where it opens. "Front-loaded" is the word of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichWS Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 You're just pulling 60% out of thin air. Why would it drop that much? First one dropped 54%, sequel factor, over-performing on opening weekend. If it doesn't quite drop 60, then high 50's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancyarcher Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Doubt it. The last one performed massively internationally. It still made less than the third worldwide. It has been 4 years since the last Shrek movie. I doubt as many people care about the series now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 This will probably make around $125 million DOM and another $300 million from the OS market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoguy Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 It still made less than the third worldwide. It has been 4 years since the last Shrek movie. I doubt as many people care about the series now. Disney Princess movies have made a huge comeback, while Shrek has become more and more irreverent. Shrek4 was down 100M DOM from Shrek3. Eat THAT Dreamworks!
