Monday Numbers (Spatula): Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - 4.2M | The Purge Anarchy - 3.4M

[KATCH-2D2]

None of those others will be close to $700m ww either.

HTTYD2 might do over $600m WW.

[chimpo]

Worse than Borezilla and that wooden lead ATJ? I think not!

Well you think wrong then.

[John Marston]

HTTYD2 might do over $600m WW.

 

 

probably not. 

[TServo2049]

I still think HTTYD2 is still going to end up with a higher positive profit from just its theatrical run than TASM2 will.

Godzilla actually made a profit, that's what matters. (Even if a movie makes 1b dollars it can still lose money if the budgets around 450-500m for example.)That's why TFiOS was actually the most profitable movie of this summer, which makes it one of the biggest successes of the summer.Sure 700m is more impressive than 550m, but a studio would rather have a 550m movie make a profit than a 700m movie that loses money.

 

 

Fault is not going to be the most profitable movie of the summer. TF4 is since it will make over 1 billion and another shitload of money on merchandising

Bay gets something for every Transformers toy sold in the world.

 

That s why he ll become eventually the third billionaire of the entertainment industry alongside Spielberg and Lucas.

 

Cameron could be the fourth if all his Avatar plans go smoothly.

Not really. It's the net profit that count. A Studio will get more money from a $200m movie that makes $600m WW than a film with $10mil budget that makes $200m WW.

BTW The Dame Legged it to 700M Worldwide

Original? It's a live action adaptation of a previous animated film, which was based off a fairy tale. I would hardly call it "original"

Will ww too Malef be bigger than all CBMs of 2014? So unreal.

[Harpospoke]

Dawn playing like an adults film, strong weekends weaker weekdays

 

Though I was hoping for a bit better. That's a 49% drop

 After seeing it I just couldn't see teens getting into it for repeat viewings.   Not saying teens are stupid...but Apes does require you to pay attention and has some layers.

That's what I was wondering.

If it continues great holds in Japan than it'll beat all CBM's as it could approach 750M WW. GOTG is the only obstacle left.

[Blackout]

The CBMs this year (except TASM2) are already big successes in their own right, that's enough for me. Congrats Jolie.

Why do I have this massive feeling that GOTG is going to be a big flop?

 

Are people really expecting it to gross in mega-blockbuster territory (600+ WW)?.

[BobbyJohn]

I don't see GOTG flopping, marketing campaign has been too good IMO. It may not reach high expectations, but toal floppage is impossible IMO. Hercules is the only contenter for that I think

450M+ WW would be considered a big success for GOTG. Personally, I think it hits 600M WW which would be phenomenal for it. 

[baumer]

Sex Tape is quite hilarious. Probably funniest film ive seen this summer.

[Claire of Themyscira]

It was 650M actually. Bite me. It still made more than Fatzilla.

 

Worse than Borezilla and that wooden lead ATJ? I think not!

 

TASM fans would like to thank Godzilla, EoT and HTTYD2 for existing this summer. We managed to save some face thanks to that disastrous trio!
