aabattery Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 16 minutes ago, DeeCee said: AUD899,000 on opening day in Australia. Kong OD of AUD701,000, OW AUD4.72m Logan OD of AUD1.35m, OW AUD7.84m This suggests an OW of around AUD5-5.5m Prometheus opened with AUD6.77m Or it could follow Split and end up with like 4M. My math might be off there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayumanggi Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) Saw this today. Eh, it was predictable. The moment I saw Spoiler two Fassbenders, I knew exactly what was going to happen. I think Scott should let this franchise go, or maybe give it to a different director. 6.5 / 10 Edited May 13, 2017 by kayumanggi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marveldcfox Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 This will do $40M OW MAX and UNDER 100M Domestic. Mixed reaction to Prometheus+ mixed reaction to this = end of franchise for the next decade or so. Fox should try and develop new R rated franchises.

So glad BR2 is being helmed by him but 200+ million budget.....god....it will look awesome and be awesome but dammit...such a huge boxoffice flop. Tron legacy numbers at best..if lucky martian...but still not good enough for a 200M production budget + possibly 100-150M marketing budget. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does those 200m+ budget come from exactly I have seen it mentionned a couple of time ? The Martian did a giant 630m at the box office, it would certainly be more than enough for a 200m production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That opened to exactly 50M in NA so...this should do 45-50 but gut says it will do 38-42. Won't be shocked if it goes lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 No chance it will bomb. The budget is only 110 mln, so it will be successful no matter what, especially with good critics reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott is usually good at keeping budgets down, hence why it only cost 110m. Edited May 13, 2017 by Fancyarcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisson23 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I just watched Alien: Covenant. Guys, I'm shocked. Now, they're releasing TV movies in cinemas? Full of plot holes, lack of development, it didn't even have scary scenes without using gore. I almost slept while watching it, since I didn't care to any of these characters. The only things saving this movie from a total disaster was some special effects and Fassbender's acting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) Watched the original on the big screen earlier today (hadn't seen it in years). Came away even more amazed that they are still trying to explain shit from it 40 years later. Edited May 13, 2017 by Jake Gittes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've preferred the film if all of Fassbender's scenes were completely deleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things that frustrated me the most about Prometheus was not silly scientists, but the fact that it zipped along at the pace of a Fast & Furious movie compared to Alien. Prometheus has none of the atmosphere and slowburn tension that made the original so great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 This was... fine? I'll probably be able to convince myself I like it more than I do in a few weeks because I love the franchise but I can't really think of anything to say about it. Less frustrating than Prometheus but certainly less interesting too - they're about on par. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half noise and half aping Goldsmith's original score - nothing to write home about. Musically, Elliot Goldenthal's score for the third is still the best of the series. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
