AniNate Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 It just struck me: INTERSTELLAR is Nolan's sequel to TOTAL RECALL. Brilliant. I like the idea that it's a prequel to WALL-E better. Of course they're not mutually exclusive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Depends, space suit? Sure, whatever equipments you want. I'll send a Nolan doll too, just in case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Speaking of crying and IS, why was everyone constantly either bursting into tears or on the brink of it? I swear I haven't seen that much unnecessary misty eye since Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Do you mean the characters in the movie or people in the movie theater? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitik Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 There's no realistic scenario where Lionsgate doesn't have more profit from splitting it than keeping it as one movie, even with $100m less domestic for MJ1. They'd be banking on an Iron Man 3-like increase compared to THG and CF (Dom. and WW) to justify that. Still a lousy creative decision though. I agree that it makes wise financial sense to split it up into 2 movies. There's just more money over all. But let's consider JUST domestic numbers (imaginary): Mockingjay (big long single movie) - 450M So lets cut it in half and say the studio gets 225. Subtract 175 for the production budget (bigger than a single movie, but not as much as 250 combined for 2 movies) and 100 for marketing, and they're down 50M. (just looking at domestic, not overseas) Mockingjay Pt 1 - 330 Mockingjay Pt 2 - 330 So lets cut that in half and say the studio gets 330. Subtract out 250 for the production budgets for the 2 movies, and lets say another 150 for combined marketing (70 + 80), and the studio is down 70M. Now just looking at domestic box offcie only, maybe the studio is better off just making 1 movies instead of 2. But obviously both of those numbers are going to change greatly when you factor in overseas numbers. Not to mention after you factor in the sales of 2 dvd's instead of just one. (And selling tv rights for 2 movies, instead of just 1, etc.) But still, it's interesting to think about what the numbers might actually be if they had done things differently. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Me too, but that's because there really were onions in my pocket. Now I have this vision of a quiet Vietnamese guy walking into a theater with his pockets stuffed full of onions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would the budget be so dramatically higher for a single movie? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPink Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) I'm kinda scared to ask why. Well... There weren't onions in my pocket. That was an excuse/lie. I was just misty eyed because it reminded me of a feeling I hadn't had since 1997. It was my b-day back in 1997, and I requested to see Batman and Robin. It's not a good feeling Edited November 23, 2014 by MrPink 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cory Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Mockingjay was shot and budgeted as one movie, they might save a little bit streamlining the script but it'd be over $200m either way. Edited November 23, 2014 by cory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
