Maze Runner: The Death Cure | Jan 26 2018 | Final Trailer on Page 18

[Zakiyyah6]

I'm not taking glee in anything, I'm not rooting for it to fail. I'm simply voicing my opinions about it's box office numbers. 

 

And mentioning the success of the other two films does not negate discussion of the upcoming films. 

[Hades]

What is with the hate boner going on here with some folks and this film? lol.  Its the LAST film in the series not a franchise starter. As if this  film under performing will affect the success of the previous ones.    

[a2k]

I had forgotten about this film and didn't even know there were 2 Maze Runners. For some reason felt that first one was a bo disappointment but found out today that it was a huge hit.

 

MZ1

prod budget: 34m

domestic: 102.5m

os: 246m

ww: 348m

 

MZ2 (change from MZ1 in brackets)

prod budget: 61m (+79.4%)

domestic: 81.7m (-20.3%)

os: 231.6m (-5.9%)

ww: 312.3m (-10.3%)

 

If the budget shows a big bump like MZ2's showed from MZ1, then MZ3 could have a tough time at the bo.

 

I think MZ3 could do 250+ ww (60 dom, 190 os) if not more. ~90 prod budget would make it worth it.

This looks great actually! And why the hate? I get this feeling that anything YA/dystopian is hated here and it is sooo stupid. TMR is actually a pretty good trilogy. And I am sure this will make bank. I doubt the budget is that big. 

[KeepItU25071906]

Maze Runner isn't bad franchise. Especially if we compare with garbage like Divergent, Shadowhunters and others.

 

 

But "isn't bad" - very muted and pale quality, isn't it?

 

 

P.S. Trailer is ok. Not more.

New Mad Max

The Maze Runner is actually way better than MJ1&2 which were both very weak films.

I enjoy the films but this here is gonna super flop. It will gross less than the most recent divergent.

MZ1

prod budget: 34m  Has to be one of the best looking films per dollar spent out there. 

domestic: 102.5m

os: 246m

ww: 348m

 

MZ2 (change from MZ1 in brackets)

prod budget: 61m (+79.4%)

domestic: 81.7m (-20.3%)

os: 231.6m (-5.9%)

ww: 312.3m (-10.3%)

I think MZ3 could do 250+ ww (60 dom, 190 os) if not more. ~90 prod budget would make it worth it.

 

So total budget of the two films: 95M

Total WW gross of two films: 660M

 

So that's an equivalent ratio of a 200M budget film making $1.3B WW, not bad at all really. (I know how flimsy this math is) 

 

Also by my calculations, for this franchise to end as a flop, this installment needs a budget of about $140M and to make a WW Box office of 17 dollars and 45 cents.

What makes it worth it I think is not just this movie but it will also move sales for the first two when it comes out and having a whole trilogy is good for box set sales and tv airings. Also, while the delay might have pushed the budget up a bit (and lowered some of its box office chances)  I think the director and producer know how to keep it under control

Very true, this movie will help the auxiliary revenue of all franchise as it caps a trilogy.

Yeah, if the budget has jumped 50%, from 61 to 92, then the global gross will make that look good. And non-theatrical revenue like you pointed out will be boosted for previous films too.

The most recent of both have kind of merged in my memory.

One had zombies, I believe the other one had Juliane Moore play the villain

Julianne Moore was in Hunger Games

Less than 4M views in 37h, Allegiant did 3.3M in 24h.

 

Huge.

[onyxrose81]

There seems to be a lot of anger about this movie and I'm kind of puzzled.  It's a movie that's ending a trilogy that was supposed to come out last year; the studio and even the actors want it to be over  because of the accident.  They're not expecting anything great.  The budgets made this trilogy a success...not sure what's the problem for some people?

We know it's going to flop because of the gap..should have released in 2016 or early 2017.
