Goffe Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Dragon 2 is a fail I'm sorry, how? people seemed to love the movie, it had great trailers, no competition whatsoever before or after the movie opened 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 The best thing so far is that Disney has no real bombs on their hands. There's no Mars needs Moms, John Carters, or Lone Rangers to really hurt Disney at the BO. Muppets Most Wanted underperformed, but it didn't cost a lot to make, so It probably made a small profit. I know that the DreamWorks films that Disney distributes are still bombs, but Disney doesn't finance those. It seems like Disney is really having a solid year. It's hard to bomb when you don't make any original films but just keep ripping off franchises and brands. Wait, don't tell me you're including Cap with Disney? Because it's such a Disney film. MDA made $10m more and those Disney animal documentaries barely make any money. That's it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I just think that no matter how great reviews are certain concepts cannot massively break out into the wider audience domestically. DOFP had great Wom but it did not break out that much domestically. Same with ST2 and many others. It is hard to describe but I think certain films appeal to a certain group and that is it. If you look at the biggest films every summer they have a rather wide appeal to them. In summer 2013, you had Iron Man 3, DM2, MOS and Fast 6... They appealed to a very wide segment of the audience. I think the same will apply to Dawn of the Apes as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 however we use the box office of films we like to say people liked them. For example DOFP did 500 million overseas, so the overseas market really liked the film.It works both ways...Kind of, but that just means people went to see the movie it doesn't mean the people that saw it liked it.Movies have good legs for an abundance of reasons, and just because more people saw a movie doesn't mean more people liked it or more people more passionately liked it than a lesser grossing movie. It simply means it made more money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Binoche Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 sorry, but GA opinion holds little to no value in a movie forum This is a box office forum. GA = box office. And let's be honest, a lot of the people here aren't real movie watchers. Watching Chris Nolan's filmography is not enough. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works both ways... people (GA) liked Maleficent, is there any doubt about that? writing my review, I admitted that people loved the movie in my screening (way before these amazing legs). but that don't change the fact the movie is crap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Hunt Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I just think that no matter how great reviews are certain concepts cannot massively break out into the wider audience domestically.

Into Darkness had plenty of haters so it is clear why that one did not break out. I think that Apes will appeal to a larger audiance. I think that it will have the fans of the Transformers serise, Dark Knight seriese, Star Wars fans and so on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) sorry, but GA opinion holds little to no value in a movie forum this is not only a movie rating forum... It is a forum where we discuss movies and how well they did at the box office and that usually means how the audiences liked the film. We then also talk a lot about we like and hate films and anticipate (or hate on) upcoming films. I may dislike certain films but I know when certain films break out, its because another segment of the audience liked the film a lot.

K1stpierre Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Just on a side note, this my geeky side taking over, but any old Magic players in here? If so, when I first saw this battle starting to take fold, I couldn't help but think of this as like a Selesnya deck I had goosebumps 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal tapped that audience before dragon and held it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) I would argue more that people on here don't accurately represent the movie going public more so then people here are not movie fans. For example: on this site films like Taken or Fast Five are liked but not very well liked. However if I ask family and friends they think its "sick yooo!!"
