So how is the movie (Dracula Untold) doing so far?  Sorry, I'm no expert, and I don't really know how to interpret those numbers on the table.

 

It's doing better than people expected, but for its budget it was a very modest opening.  It's definitely not a total bomb, but isn't going to be a real hit either.

Have you been on the site Box Office Mojo? They are a really good and extremely popular source (just see The Speakeasy for confirmation of that ;) )

They'll do like "vs" where they'll compare two or more movies that are similar in their box office intake or genre. Right now, they have Dracula in the same category as Hansel and Gretel and Jack the Giant Slayer (doing better than the former, a few million behind the latter) so domestically, Dracula is set (if it continues on this pace) between 55 and 65 million $.

Overseas, it's at 63 million so far. I don't know any stats for a particular country, but it seems to be playing similar to Jack and Hansel and Gretel which made 135 and 225 million overseas; so expect an overseas total between those numbers.

The general rule for a movies success is if it makes more than 2x it's budget (in Draculas case $70M, 105M including marketing) so really, if they made 200WW (which will happen) that will be the break even point, and anything else on top is profit. So to answer your question, Dracula Untold is doing decent/solid buisness considering its budget (the reason Jack was a flop was its budget was 200M instead of 70)

How long have you been following Box Office for James? Are you new to this, or have you been at it for a while? I personally have been since Wreck it Ralph opened in North America (so almost 2 years).

I was just made aware of Box office Mojo couple of days ago, and at least once every day, try to check out the movie Box Office to see what are hits and what are flops / misses.

 

2 x the budget?  So I'm guessing Dracula needs to make at least $210 Million worldwide for there to be any chance of a sequel.  I'm hearing a lot of people say it's ok / average, but not great (with Box office results), so was kinda feeling bummed about it.  Hopefully drops will be very gradual over the next couple of weeks until other blockbusters arrive, and it becomes a hit that Studio heads will take notice to greenlight a sequel.

 

I'm really new to this - been following the Box office for about 2~3 weeks now?  So I guess in terms of knowledge (among Box office info and other stuff), you guys are more of veterans level , and I would be at baby level.

This feels like such a compliment :D as there are people on here who have been following box office for 10+ years, and me with 2 years I always felt like the baby :lol:

To green light a sequel, a movie has to make more than just it's break-even point. 200M would be break even, whereas 250+ would make Universal consider sequels. My guess is that they'll incorporate Luke Evans in the crossover movies, and if he gains popularity there he will get his sequel. Dracula is a very popular character, and so I'm sure Universal WANTS to do it, they're just waiting for the long-term money making prospects (what can we do to make sure the sequel makes more money than the original?)

Yeah, by the way, how much did Hansel and Gretel cost including its marketing costs?  I know that production budget itself is $50 million, but don't quite know how much it was including marketing.

 

Also, aren't some territories still waiting for Dracula to be released?  I remember Japan as being one of them, with it being released very late October.

Yes Dracula does have some markets left (I'm not sure which ones specifically)

Hansel and Gretel cost 83 million according to BoxOffice.com to put that in perspective :)
