WB using review pull quotes similar to what they did with Wonder Woman

 

 

Tag yourself. I am the woman yawning on the poster. (Omg that placement is amazing)

[Barnack]

Those older Spielberg/Scott type tend to be extremely budget efficient and responsible and that movie has a free cast, will need to see the movie (or get a bit of a politicians/tax payer right using access to information law giving us some UK tax credits hint), the trailers make it look like it could be really expensive (160m) or could still be The Martian 100m type with a lot of unexpensive shot also in there.

 

Rumored recent Spielberg budget:

 

Lincoln: 65m

War horse: 66m (!!!)

Bridge of Spies: 40m (!!)

BFG: 140m

Post: 50m

 

Even is Cruise previous big Sci-fi entry were quite reasonably priced if they were close to the rumored figure

Minority report: 102m (140m in 2018 dollars)

War of the world: 132m (167m in 2018 dollars)

 

A 35m OW, with a 3.0x legs and a 35/65 split would give that movie a nice 300m WW figure and a nice success if it is around a 100m production budget.

it's cool that apparently the reason this is 140 minutes long is because the movie actually stops every five minutes so all the dad's in the audience can turn to their children and say "did you get that kids?" then explain the reference before they even get an answer.

Always felt closer to a Edge of Tomorrow than a Martian/Gravity to me.

 

P.S. The Snowman was worth the investment just for the meme.

WB wants this to open to around $50M according to THR's article posted a page or two back, so...

Warner Bros. and Spielberg, who are hoping for at least $50 million, still have three weeks left to make their final marketing push. (Warners is particularly encouraged by strong interest among males.)

 

I kind of doubt that this is a direct quote.

First time pandering nostalgia has bred sheer creativity in people.

 

Funny but this should have been RPO's promo tool to build hype and involve people right from the start: Create your own retro-nostalgic posters based on the RPO's universe and blast it on social medias to share it with your "friends as customized avatars

 

Twitter, while mocking it, is actually doing RPO's PR team work.

They should have taken the Straight Out of Compton playbook, create a meme related to the movie, here, what you are describing, and let people have fun with it.

At least we have Silvestri.

Gotta admit this might have some trouble at the box office mainly thanks to overseas where sci films without a star don’t tend to be hue overseas

So basically like half the old people that talk during my movies.

It is Ernest Cline's holy grail of pop culture

[OdinSon2k14]

This movie is turning out to be a lot more than I thought it would be :). Halo Spartans? King Kong? T-Rex? Kratos? Chucky from Childs Play :D?! Now I have to see this.
