Ethan Hunt Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Elysium did 93m with a similar OW. So it is still possible for EoT to cross 90m, right ? It cant have worse WOM than Elysium .... Actually it probably has a chance to rach 100m. Elysium had varried word of mouth, not to mention the R rating probably cut off it's legs a bit. Edge of Tomorrow's WOM seems as if it well be extremely positive and is more kid friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Better WOM but far greater competition. Elysium had little to deal with in mid August. Man I forget how relatively impressive the legs for Elysium were. August last year was a movie wasteland and was relatively empty. This year August is crowded as hell, 19 wide releases in 5 weeks.

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted June 8, 2014 Founder / Operator Share Posted June 8, 2014 I think EoT is gonna have a nice little Father's Day more than anything That too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I can see Edge being the benefactor of teens sneaking into 22 Jump next weekend.Probably not a significant boost in the long run, but hey... expensive movies need all the help they can get. How expensive was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 (Thanks to Europe,) Sci-fi action films are just taugh sell. I mean, even franchise sequel STID only did 238m OS, so it is not unreasonable/too-big-a-shame that something original like EOT falls short of 200m os.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Elysium Total Lifetime Grosses Domestic: $93,050,117 32.5% + Foreign: $193,090,583 67.5% Seems like a good comparison. Yeah, Ely had surprising good legs considering its problematic quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Trek's not very popular overseas. 238m makes Star Trek Into Darkness the highest grossing in the franchise in other markets.

ecstasy Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 After Iron Man 2 and Black Widow fell through for her they approached her to be Peggy Carter in the first Cap but I think with how her husband lost out on the role that wasn't going to happen. But she'd be great as Sharon Carter - infinitely better than the prospect of what they have now... Or maybe the first MCU Villainess - Madame Hydra As much as I love Emily, I'm glad she didn't get the role of Peggy Carter. I'm even more elated her husband didn't get the role of Cap. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalel009Shel Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 It's not good really, but yeah, it's nowhere near the levels of badness some thought would happen. So maybe that gives hope for the weekend for those that want this movie to do better than expected Hey 75!!! Saw Xmen... Very good my 2nd favorite film this year next to Cap.> Give it a 9.3.. Just below Xmen2's 9.5 for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted June 8, 2014 Founder / Operator Share Posted June 8, 2014 How expensive was it? Around $180 million before marketing is what I've seen floating around. So it probably needs at least $375-400m worldwide to break even/profit in theaters. In the long run, I'm sure they'll make their money with TV deals and the HV market, but they must have had a lot of confidence in the script and Cruise's ability to draw well overseas. That's a lotta dough for a non-franchise pic. (Oblivion cost two-thirds of that.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
