$270,901 for GOTG

 

 

It's good to the last cent.

The Judge is gonna bomb this upcoming weekend with Gone Girl's strong hold coming.  Expect only a 15 OW for The Judge.  It has a 37 on Metacritic now.  RDJ is not a box office draw....Tony Stark is the draw.

[TServo2049]

Which explains why Sherlock Holmes did so poorly...wait...

...actually, you may well be right, in that the selling point for SH1 was basically "See Tony Stark play Sherlock Holmes." Audiences probably only care about RDJ when he's playing Stark-like sly action heroes. (So he's sort of the Johnny Depp of the 2010s?)

plus the judge looks dull

plus the judge looks dull

It does look dull, but a big name draw like Hanks or DiCaprio or Denzel would be able to make that movie get 70 domestic.  I just want people on this forum to realize that RDJ is not a draw himself like other big name actors are.

No, they wouldn't. 

 

DiCaprio wasn't able to turn J. Edgar into a hit. Tom Hanks has been in flop after flop after flop in the last few years, Captain Phillips was a hit but it was the only one. Denzel is a draw in action movies or in strong dramas with Oscar chances. The Judge is none of those things.

Honestly, has any star been able to sell literally anything, besides Tom Cruise from 1986-2006? (Fun fact: Other than Eyes Wide Shut - and Magnolia, if you count that, every single Cruise starring vehicle over that 20-year period adjusts to over $100m. Even Tom Hanks wasn't that consistent for that long.)

He may not be as big a draw as Denzel or Dicaprio, but he's a bigger draw than Hemsworth or Evans.

Will Smith got a movie about him playing a Date doctor to $360m worldwide.

But why just till 2006. Even since then, his only flop was Rock of Ages, and the marketing on that one made it hard to even know he was in it. All the other movies did at least decent.

[TServo2049]

Only MI4 sold as many tickets as anything he put out from '86-'06. None of his other starring vehicles were hits to the same degree. (I am not counting overseas.)

MI:III had poor results here

[DussyMob]

Gone Girl is a classic in the making.

134M?

[Overpassassin]

Downey is a draw, but a low concept drama is a hard sell these days, and even harder in a period where everyone's trying to sell their OScar-baiting where and the movie's not very good to begin with. If Downey wanted to build up his non-Tony Stark credentials, he should have gone with a director who had a rep outside of Adam Sandler movies.

[Kojima]

I saw Gone Girl again last night and could see it a third time. It's my favorite Fincher film so far!

The stupidest thing I've ever heard.

[Wrath]

It's good to the last cent.

 

If it can stick with 20% declines, GotG projects to almost exactly tie SM3.  Gonna be tough to hold to that, though.  Its per screen numbers aren't all that special anymore and its probably going to start bleeding screens a little faster.
