The action sci-fi held well in China against the might ofGodzilla with a $9.3m weekend and a local tally of $49.7m, while Russia dropped just 19% in its second weekend to add $6.1m for $16.4m. Edge of Tomorrow lands in Japan on July 4. http://www.screendaily.com/news/godzilla-roars-with-38m/5073165.article?blocktitle=LATEST-FILM-NEWS&contentID=40562 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 $350-375 million WW will be an okay number and the movie probably won't lose money. That must count as a win given how the movie was tracking a month ago. Right ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must count as a win given how the movie was tracking a month ago. Right ? Well it could get close or reach $400M, if Japan overperforms. Tom Cruise is HUGE there, $50M+ there could happen.

The Dark Alfred Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I seriously don't understand what were people's expectations regarding this movie. Come to rescue? It's a hit. Show me an original sci-fi that is the past 10 years that has done better than EoT? Show me a non-franchise, non-Oscar film that has done better? If it performs well in Japan, EoT have a really good shot at beating both Pacific Rim and Prometheus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zackzack Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 ^^ I feel that the budget all goes to Tom Cruise pocket/s. The movie looks like a $100M production. They keep re-using the same set over and over again. The rest is the same low-quality, fuzzy CGI you see in TASM2, MoS etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 That's the studio's fault. The numbers and film's performance over the globe are great. It was never gonna make 500m WW given its genre, so it's only disappointing for those who let it have such a high budget. If you take the budget aside for a sceond and look at the sheer numbers, it's doing extremely well for an original sci-fi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put in EoT in that list and compare the grosses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you agree that a better release date could have allowed for better numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I disagree with Alfred. This is a big budget mainstream action movie. if it is limited to 400M WW, studio had no business keeping the budget at 178M. With marketing it needs HV to break even. We will know once warners report their quarterly earnings on impact of this one. Tom's WOTW was a benchmark to target considering OS markets have exploded since 2005. Avatar has shown Sci-fi has no limits. Inception is another film they showed how big the genre can be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 The $180m is with reshoots. If it didn't go overbudget, then we wouldn't be having this conversation. Who knows what the actual budget originally was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinHood26 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 WB is kicking them selves. This is a could have possibly been a 500m grosser if they pushed it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Rock Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 WBPI’s Edge Of Tomorrow also knows a thing or two about being top of the class and will cross $200m outside North America heading into the weekend that saw it perched on $194.7m. http://www.screendaily.com/box-office/dragon-2-sniffs-intl-domination/5073375.article?blocktitle=LATEST-INTERNATIONAL-BOX-OFFICE-NEWS&contentID=40071 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 So $259 million WW going into the weekend. This movie deserves to make at least $350 million WW and it appears to be on track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
