Not sure where the air of disappointment here is coming from I'm pretty sure it's just the confirmation that it's not gonna have much commercial appeal speaking.

AniNate Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Even then, Scorsese's name goes a long way. I think the GA can still surprise us. I'm still not sure how Black Swan made over $100 million. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything over $50M would be incredible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) Hmm. Hugo was a PG children's adventure film that doubled as a whimsical, thoughtful look on the power of 1910s silent film production. It really didn't have an audience at all - way too intellectual and artsy for what kids want, but not exactly something that was gonna get the Departed/Goodfellas audience either. They're selling this as an intense drama/thriller appealing to a fairly regular adult audience. So not sure I agree with that.

filmlover Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 The Wolf of Wall Street's gross was pretty much all Leo: anyone else and that movie wouldn't have even made half as much as it did. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halba Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 it wont get much over $50m imho. they have liam neeson on the front poster, yet he's in the movie for about 10 minutes(out of a 160 min film) i hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hugo was hilarious in the sense it was sold as a Christmas movie for kids but it was in fact a film-nerd love letter to George Mélies. yeah, kids dig that a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I would argue Hugo was a tougher sell than this. It was an adult film masquerading as a kids film and thereby looking entirely unappealing to both of those audiences. Yet it somehow still pulled 70m, and that "somehow" is almost certainly because it was a Scorsese film. This can do 80m+ if WOM is on the level critics seem to be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraken Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hugo was lovely but yeah, no idea who that movie was for beyond film nerds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo's name definately helped them both especially OS but the could have been big hits if they had let's say Christian Bale or Bradley Cooper or someone else who is an a-lister but not a megastar. But yeah Shutter Island,Gatsby, Wolf and the Revenant wouldn't even come close to 100m without Leo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movie of the year LOL, Arrival was 100% RT with well more than 16 reviews for a long time. Don't worry, negatives will come based on twitter reactions from actual critics. And Globes are today so we'll see how Silence does with them (and whether Garfield gets a nom for this or Hacksaw). I have to say that I'm impressed with Star Wars contingent of this movie. They have nothing roles (means no chance of nominations) but they still lost tons of weight and subdued themselves to grueling physical regime. That's commitment, when you know that there won't be personal glory for all that suffering but you do it anyway cause it's freakin Marty.
