Empire Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Ugh. I was hoping it would at least hit 125M. Hope it has done good legs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) I wonder what the conversations will be like next year... Avengers, Avengers, Avengers Edited November 23, 2014 by Fullbuster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 But they also didn't have home theaters and Netflix, so... No Internet, no smartphones, no tablets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinoiserie Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> But apart from Potter and Iron Man (that is the last Iron Man film for now anyway), these either were, or they pretending to be the last film in the series. So not really comparable to Mockingjay that has the last film coming next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 That doesn't really disprove my case. Budgets may be bigger, but the movies are also making more money (and selling more tickets). Budgets have gone up much faster than ticket price inflation through the years. Take a movie like Back to the Future. $19m budget in 1985. Studios would spend $150-200m on that kind of movie today. What is saving the studios on their overspending is the aggressive expansion of overseas markets. Overseas money was a joke in the 80's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Wang Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Karate Kid on TV. Movies were so much better in the '80s. You're the best around/Nothing's gonna ever keep you down. Also, Elizabeth Shue is superhot. I just rewatched that on Netflix recently. A bunch of other 80's movies too. The best part about those movies were the fact that they just fucking ended. Seriously, he wins that championship and the credits are rolling like a minute later. I miss that so much. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Give the 80s the population of today and all years except 1986 jump ahead of 2012. What? This seems like a really inaccurate way to gauge something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I am more excited for the box office prospects of the movies that are not the 'BIG THREE' of 2015. TA: AOU, SW: TFA and THG: M II will all be huge and could be boring to follow. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TServo2049 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) We've already surpassed a few early-80s years in tickets sold. They may have had some really good movies, but the 80s were actually pretty shitty for the business in general. This is true. But population was also smaller, and there were fewer theaters. Though this site has yearly per-capita ticket sales numbers: http://www.waynesthisandthat.com/moviedata.html 2010 and 2012-13 had almost as low per-capita sales as 1986. 2011 was the worst since 1971 (the nadir of the 1968-71 Hollywood meltdown - the painful death of Old Hollywood and birth of New Hollywood) Edited November 23, 2014 by TServo2049 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Based on how 2012 turned out for smaller films, I am not holding my breath. 50 Shades of Grey will surprise I think, same thing about Cinderella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 any year where night at the museum is the second biggest movie is a year I don't wanna talk about. And what were the other hits that year that weren't pirates 2? Da Vinci Code? Cars? Jiminy cricket.. Happy Feet made 200M in the US and Da Vinci made WW what GotG did, without years of inflation, 3D, IMAX or expanding markets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) I think as we have seen in 2014, with smaller brands already doing so well overseas. It will be interesting to see the bigger brands like Avengers, Bond and SW will do overseas next year. I think like 2014 the real fireworks will be overseas.

Avatree Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 50 Shades of Grey will surprise I think, same thing about Cinderella. 50 Shades will be 220+ Cinderella will get at least 200, similar to Maleficent with any luck. There is no way Avengers 2 would be boring to follow. Particularly on OS markets, and we'll want to know if it can beat Titanic in the US DOM Doesn't have much of a chance of doing that. It should open higher than Avengers 1, but it can't repeat that 3x multiplier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
