Kong: Skull Island | March 10, 2017 | Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, John Goodman | Crosses 500M WW

[NoobSaibot]

A couple of weeks ago, Madame Tussau drove around a growling box in New York City and London. They've opened the box, and people in New York can visit a highly detailed animatronic head of Kong. Nice marketing trick, even if it isn't entirely unique.

Wikipedia has it listed as $190 million, but the source of this information came from Scified....so there's a notable possibility that it's incorrect.

Except it's not...

Welcome to Skull Island: on set with Tom Hiddleston and the biggest King Kong ever (5th paragraph)

Got my tickets for Saturday, seeing it in Ultra AVX Dbox. I'm excited for this!

$190m??? That seems excessive.

Split is the worst 2017 release I've seen (out of five) but even that wasn't half bad, just overhyped (HANNNNN!) Been a pretty good year for movies so far. Last year had a good Feb-April too, though, and summer turned out to be ass. Still, hopefully this adds to the good list! 

Agree, it's trash. "Get Out" is the best horror movie of all-time

Budget is actually less than Jacksons Kong from 12 years ago

That article is saying that the budget is reported by someone else to be 190m, I don't think they say they know it. Does not sound excessive to me, similar to a planet of the apes movie, last year Tarzan, etc....

IKR!? She's super striking/stunning! I hope she becomes the most demanded and most popular Asian actress (or actress, PERIOD) ever. She manages to effortlessly steal spotlight from whomever, which can be demonstrated here:

Children, children. Both Split and Get Out are good horror movies. No need to fight!

 

(Get Out is definitely better, tho).

[aabattery]

The difference between Split and Get Out is that only one of those movies will be on BOT's top 25 of 2017.

 

Feel my pain, @WrathOfHan.

40M is the floor for this.  65M is probably the absolute highest it can go though.

$30M floor, $65M ceiling.

TBH Get Out was slightly better than Split, both are some of the best horror movies though.
