Where is the post with Saturday numbers?

First page. I put it in the first post. Forgot to put the page in the title.

That depends on the budget.

 

I think it should hit at least 300 m WW.

 

From the trailer, 50m-60m tops, no big sets, no vfx, one set piece.

Looks way cheaper than Kingsman (85m budget) for example.

 

Maybe the next trailers will show more, the movie is still 6 months away.

TL, Pixels, F4, T5. The real Fantastic Four

 

Ted, Vacation, Aloha, Entourage, Hot Pursuit, etc. Man from Uncle will probably be joining them

Yea, but where and who did it come from?

Tomorrowland... another brilliant success story from this Summer. Fucking Brad Bird. 

 

Brad Bird is too talented not to redeem himself.

[MrPink]

All this talk about disasters and not one mention of True Detective?

Uncle will do fine.

Also, EW has got more hilarious details about the making of F4.

[Chewy]

Ryan Reynolds is a superstar? Since when? More like never.

 

What if that was the point I was making? I wonder.

The epic ending is coming to redeem it all.

Rth.

Jurassic World is the best movie ever, so much money it made

Last year was pretty good too.

 

2013 sucked.

Bird has a lot to prove after TL.

Lucas knew enough to grab the merchandise rights.

 

and nobody cared about merchandising rights back then.

FOX has to still be super PISSED about Disney buying Star Wars, after FOX made SW what it is today.

 

Did Lucas even bother offering SW to FOX in the first place? Seems like there wasn't even bidding war, and Lucas went directly to Disney. Doesn't seem fair does it for one of the biggest Hollywood IPs?

Ted is still a success in accordance to its budget, despite its massive under-performance. Vacation will be profitable I'm sure. The rest of those are all movies that were never on anyone's radar to start with. If you look at the top 9 of the summer so far, they've all been big successes and made a lot of profit. MI5 and Trainwreck will end up in that category too. So basically 12-13 of the 18 or so movies that had potential were successful. The vast majority of the smaller wide releases below that were profitable too. Again, it's basically 4 big bombs of the summer and a few under-performers that were still profitable.

Just TD2. The first season TD was actually great.

[grey ghost]

Brad Bird should be able to make a good F4 film, since he already did it in animated form. But Incredibles 2 is far more important.

 

Um, we've seen a great Incredibles movie already.

 

We still haven't gotten a decent FF movie.

 

But I'm not sure Brad Bird would want to deal with Disney and Marvels meddling.
