redfirebird2008 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 After Inception, Interstellar, and TDKR, he must've cost WB a crapload of change. From a studio perspective, I would force him to make his next work in 3D. But then again, the guy has WB by the balls right now. If I was Nolan, I would agree to a 3D release but only if they allow the IMAX version to still be 2D. I think it's pointless to shoot in 1570 IMAX and then convert to 3D. Besides, IMAX tickets are really expensive anyway and there isn't much difference in price between IMAX 3D and IMAX 2D. The big boost from 3D comes in regular screens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Interstellar should outgross Mockingjay overseas mj1 dom will be almost identical to gotg, and os will be almost identical to is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Jedi Master 007 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Why would WB do that? WB wants to have a good relationship with him. How many directors besides Cameron can make an original movie that grosses 600-800M WW? A studio simply doesn't want to screw something like that. Cause if he used 3D, the number would be even higher. But yeah, Nolan's in a great position right now. Even his weakest BO performance is going to turn into a huge hit.

bapi Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Well, looks like Nolan's next movie will be for Robinov anyway (distributed by Sony). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Universal will have a massive year as well. Minions, Fifty Shades of Grey, Jurassic World and Fast 7. That is crazy. Ted 2, Pitch Perfect 2, Everest... massive year for them. I'm thinking OS they will come fairly close to Disney. Sony is dead. Like, really, really dead. They need to turn to their videogame franchises. Uncharted, inFamous, between others, can make massive amounts of money if well adapted. ? Sony has an amazing year. They don't have franchises, but most of their movies were hits: 22 Jump Street, The Equalizer, Heaven is for Real, The Monuments Men, Think Like A Men Too. And those which disappointed DOM made up for it OS: Sex Tape (126M WW), Deliver Us From Evil (87M WW), RoboCop (242M WW). Pompei was their only big money loser.

The Futurist Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Paramount has Transformers, GI Joe, Mission Impossible and TMNT. That seems very good to me. Plus, Paranormal Activity makes lot of money in a 5M budget and the new Friday the 13th should be a winner as well. Terminator will bomb, tho. Bay is leaving Transformers, Mission Impossible is solid, GI Joe is not a big money maker and TMNT won t become a 600-700 m ww franchise. Paramount s slate is just a little bit better than Sony s but nothing extraordinary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inception and interstellar will be the exceptions rather than the norm where a work not adapted or a sequel makes twice as much as its production budget and more at the end of the run for WB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not this year, but for future purposes It's also not like Pompeii was a 200M film. It made 120WW on a 90-100M budget, so it "only" lost them about 50-60M.

CJohn Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Spider-Man though....puts em' in a tough position. Not this year, but for future purposes Because they are dumb as fuck. Fire the director, fire Kurtzman and Ortiz, and change Sinister Six to The Amazing Spider-Man 3: Sinister Six. And hire some competent people instead of shitty fuckers. EDIT: AND FUCKING STOP TRYING TO CREATE A SHARED UNIVERSE WITH THE SPIDER-MAN UNIVERSE. That is even more dumb than whatever Universal is doing with their Monsters franchise.

Ray G Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Given that this was a movie that had no business existing as it was adapted from the less interesting part of a book that could have easily been one movie, I imagine the producers and studio are still pretty happy. Glad to see the audience showing a bit of discretion when it comes to this format. Given that Divergent is far from the franchise that this is, I wonder if those producers are rethinking their decision to piggyback on the trend by splitting the widely disliked final book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paramount s slate is just a little bit better than Sony s but nothing extraordinary. You are kidding right. LOOOOOL. Transformers is a 1B making machine, The next MI will make over 700M for sure, Turtles will end up over 500M, so I don't see how it is a stretch for the next one to make 600M. Also Star Trek, Madagascar, King Fu Panda (the last two will likely make over 700M WW). Edited November 23, 2014 by James 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paramount s slate is just a little bit better than Sony s but nothing extraordinary. Bay will make something else, and I am sure Michael Bay is to Paramount what Nolan is to WB. They will support him in whatever he does. Transformers will still be big if they hire another director good with filming action sequences. I heard Justin Lin is available. Sony has nothing bigger than GI Joe besides Spider-Man. I won't even talk about MI and TMNT. Those are big franchises. TMNT should increase OS since it won't have a 3 months delay in Europe in the next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
