baumer Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 You of all people understand this B, they have targets & expectations to do massive business being a summer tentpole. If they didn't do those #s, it would be a disaster which it isn't. These are solid short term but honestly long term I refuse to believe they will accomplish their objectives when Disney/WB are issuing an all out war on the genre. Yes, of course I understand it. But they should also understand not to make their expectations so high when they are rebooting a series from 5 years ago and telling the same origin story all over again. It was ludicrous to have those ridiculous expectations. Whoever truly felt this would make a billion dollars doesn't understand the box office fully, especially when it seems as though this is following the Hobbit very closely.

ecstasy Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 That's some drop for Cap 2. Is Sunday drop estimated too low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Funny thing is that Raimi's sm4 was scheduled for 2011. He felt he was being forced to rush it and so dropped out. But they didn't release the next one in 2011 any way. Why not give Raimi an extra year then and get sm4 in 2012. Maybe they wanted a director who could be under control. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRing Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Don't forget FOX with the planned X-Men/Fantastic Four crossover. That thing will be huge if done in the right way. There's some debate whether that's allowed according to the licenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Disney owns all the merchandise right for Spider-man as well as TV and animated rights. They bought out Sony's share a few years ago for about $280m plus their % of the film rights. I think Sony gets all the money for the films.

baumer Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Even if the movies are barely profitable Spidey sells so many toys, blankets, and other merchandise that it could probably make back its budget in that alone. Sponsored merchandise for kids in a Spider Man movie is like a license to print money. They would never get ride of the rights for that reason, anyway. But fuck Spidey's boring run anyway. More appreciation for that godly Neighbors number is needed. I've been calling breakout for months, but I didn't see it passing Gatsby in a million years. Sony doesn't get any merchandise revenue for this. That stays with Marvel. They are solely relying of movie revenue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 It's gonna be tough to top LEGENDS OF OZ as the bomb of the summer--$70M budget, $3.7M debut. JUPITER ASCENDING, your move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRing Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 That's some drop for Cap 2. Is Sunday drop estimated too low? If anything it's too high - it's the regular Sun drop of 38.5% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) That's some drop for Cap 2. Is Sunday drop estimated too low? It definitely has the highest drop in the top 10 so potentially could increase by 100 maybe 200K, if women check it out on Sunday.

Godzilla Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I think TOW will move up to $10M, when we get the actuals. The guilt on Mother's Day is too strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gonna fall over a million with actuals. That saturday increase, I can't look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Funny thing is that Raimi's sm4 was scheduled for 2011. He felt he was being forced to rush it and so dropped out. But they didn't release the next one in 2011 any way. Why not give Raimi an extra year then and get sm4 in 2012. Maybe they wanted a director who could be under control. but some of the ideas for Spider-Man 4 sounded really bad and 2011 was four years after Sm3. I think getting a new team was the right thing to do but doing a full reboot might have been the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 That's some drop for Cap 2. Is Sunday drop estimated too low? actually the it's the highest at 39% http://boxofficemojo.com/daily/chart/?view=1day&sortdate=2014-05-11&p=.htm owing to mother's day, only one other movie in top 10 has >30% drop - dorothy's return with 31% so cap total might increase. also, happy mother's day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> I wouldn't really call Neighbors female-oriented, but a lot of women were probably excited to see Efron.
