The Futurist Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Prime Will Smith couldn't have made Under the Skin anything more than what it was- an incredibly small, weird arthouse release. Leo flopped with J. Edgar. Wahlberg, Damon, Gosling, and other big male stars have had countless flops over recent years. Not everything is going to be a huge hit.Hence my multiple factor argument. Julia Roberts biggest flop was Mary Reilly, why ? Because she didn t smile one time in the movie and the audiences were in love with Roberts giant big smile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRing Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Of course Scarjo is a star but the success of a movie is always a combination of multiple factors.Her fame did nothing for a difficult art house film like Under the Skin and she actually promoted this one a little bit.But there s no doubt Scarjo ´s star is burning bright right now Her star power is probably what made Under The Skin a $2m movie at the B.O instead of $200,000 but agreed that in terms of box office concept and genre usually trump star power - but that doesn't mean that star power doesn't contribute to box office - especially on the opening w/e. How is Sin City doing OS ? A little better than dom ? Not great. First one did $84 OS. It did better in Russia with a $7m total but the market wasn't nearly as big in 2005. In the UK it opened to less than half of what the first did and dropped like a rock so it will end up doing less total than the first opened to ($4.5m). Ending with about $2.8m total vs $13m for the first. Edited September 14, 2014 by TalismanRing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I disagree. Lucy is a horrible movie. It's an interesting concept that goes nowhere. After the first few weeks, I think the rest of its leggy BO run is mostly because of Scar Jo. I think you are being blinded by hate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRing Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) That's a surprise. It looks like Disney actually bothered to promote this Marvel movie - which is more than can be said for how they just dropped TDW and CATWS there - and it also cut ticket prices 65% to lure in the audience.

Sal Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 That's a surprise. They marketed the hell out of Rocket and Groot for this release. One thing that the Japanese definitely don't seem to mind is oddball characters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 It s still funny that Lucy was succesful when the lead actress of the movie did ZERO promo. It is Besson himself which took care of it all over the world.Mo - one knows who the fuck Besson is so I doubt his name is what made it big worldwide. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ban1o Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 SO if Guardians gets to 320 million it has a decent chance of being the 2nd highest grossing film of the year (domestically of course). Only film that imo has a chance to beat it is The Hobbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hundred Foot Journey, The Giver and If I Stay have been quiet successes.Great for Lucy worldwide.... $350m+??! Fantastic for Guardians too. Ninja turtles has been a huge success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
