Dementeleus Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) 350 is happening but it will crawl to reach it. Ya, it ran out of GAS. Still a good run but NO legs at all. Could have been much worse. In the end it will settle for a slight 50 million dollar loss which isn't bad. How do you figure the 50m loss? 150m production budget. 55% of 150m domestic (estimated) = $82.5m 45% of 200m overseas (estimated) = $90m 172.5m back to Warners (and their partners). If you want to count P&A costs, you should also ballpark ancillary revenues: usually those balance each other out pretty well.

I see what your saying though. And I hear there is a tax credit from the Aussie government as well. One thing is for sure it did great for such ambitious project. Thanks for pointing that stuff out. That's why I like this board, people seem to understand things. Edited June 17, 2015 by Mitch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Whatever the profit ends up being, MMFR is fading quickly. Not if you see it against it's genre. For example: It is beating the daily of 300 for the same amount of days in theaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngdinhluat Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Because summer has many blockbusters, a movie usually has 3-4 weeks before being replaced by the others. Edited June 17, 2015 by ngdinhluat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I like this board, people seem to understand things. Marketing is probably over 100m, easily... most major tentpoles spend more like 120-160m WW on marketing. But then, to counter that, there are all these revenue streams we never see: domestic and OS home video, VOD, premium TV, cable TV, network TV, etc etc. In the glory days of the DVD boom a decade ago, that was a huge cash cow. Now, home video profits have really dwindled.... but there's still enough, collectively, to counter most (if not all) the marketing costs. The real way to generate long-term profits is through a studio's library of titles. So once you get all the upfront costs covered, it's a collective slow, steady trickle of money.

Pls By then would it no longer be hip and thus bomb? How's pirating of movies there? Looking at the person selling me $5 rips on the corner, it doesn't look good LOL.

Looking at the person selling me $5 rips on the corner, it doesn't look good LOL. Because of the restrictions on releases this may have been their only option but if it does well enough even without money going to WB it still might mean something for sequel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) People actually believe that 150M production budget? Of course we have no real way of knowing. Way back when the movie wrapped production (at least principal photography), the budget mentioned was around $100-125m. We know it went over that, and we know WB also decided to spend an additional $12m or so to amp up the beginning and part of the climax. So $150m seems to be the figure everyone settled on.

picores Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) I think Warner would have greenlighted a sequel even with 300m WW. The rave reviews and enthusiastic response plus 365-370m WW is a very good way to start the franchise. Its more impressive the 150m+ DOM than the 200m+ OS though. The sequel could potentially go way higher. Edited June 28, 2015 by picores 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
