TalismanRing Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 That will be enough to get it WW title for comic book movie. Depends on how the World Cup affects it's legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I've gone by the "fuck Deadline/Nikki, wait for Rth" method for a while now. I can safely say it was the way to go. Normally when people post Deadline #'s I don't even read them. Tonight was the exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Star power is no longer the main driver for 90+% of films - it's all about the concept - and the concepts that seem to sell are well known brands. Angelina's star persona as an actress matched up with Maleficent and Disney knows how to sell live action fairy tell re imaginations (pity they aren't as good at making them as they are animated one) and the trailers looked great = $$$ Cruise showed with MI4 he can still sell in the right brand. And as star he gives a floor - the movie is going to under perform but it won't be an outright bomb like Jupiter might have been. Overseas though still buys into established star power more than the U.S. - even Stateside bombs by Arnold and Sly make decent money overseas for the most part.Star power and 3D are still reasonably popular overseas.Why are they behind the curve?

kitik Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 no, they are pretty good with numbers. at least the daily estimates if not the multipliers. when they post numbers at 2am, they're usually fairly close 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Binoche Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 The big stars of the 90's (Cruise, Will) have barely any of their former star power.And remakes from the 80's /90's mostly flop.Is nostalgia over-valued by Hollywood? Sandra Bullock is more successful than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Come on Tom, you can't lose to Angelina on her 2nd weekend. I mean, Xenu is weird and all, but you're better than this.She already kicked his ass with SALT vs Flop and Day. No news here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Even with a 6.3m(-47%) weekend taking it to 185.4m, 200m looks tough for Godzilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Sandra Bullock is more successful than ever.She has the best agent, that's for sure.Her selection in movie roles is flawless.But her star power hasn't been fully tested by a sub-par movie.

TalismanRing Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Even with a 6.3m(-47%) weekend taking it to 185.4m, 200m looks tough for Godzilla. It's behind ASM2's pace now (it did $7.8m it's 4th w/e) at almost the same total ($184.9m) and will be behind it after Monday. ASM2 though looks to make $200m now maybe $202-3m but I don't think Godzilla will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One interesting thing to look at over the next 2 weeks is that any movie that can hold it's theater count when HTTYD and 22JS open next weekend should be able to hold most of their theater the following week too, as the following 2 openers shouldn't steal a ton of screens.

grey ghost Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 So the strongest genres are superheroes, young adult and fairy tales, in that order.Where does original sci-fi fit in looking at recent global numbers for Elysium, Pacific Rim, Oblivion, etc?Any chance Hollywood will give up on the genre like they did Westerns?
