This is the last time Del Toro got money for an original project, that is for sure.

Ppl used to say the same thing about MNS and Ridley......

[Jake Gittes]

I'm not even big on The Walk but fucking hell it did not deserve such a brutal BO run. 

[Rorschach]

I honestly feel bad. Del Toro is a great director and it's a shame to see how badly his films are doing at the box office (worldwide too). At this point though, he should probably choose a property that's already had a built-in audience and has the potential to appeal to a larger demographic. Only then will find big success.

So based on that Crimson Peak number, RIP Pacific Rim 2. It's still kind of amazing that a movie which was Robots vs. Monsters got ignored by the general audience. You'd think there would be some curiosity at the least.

So what will be the "adult" movies breakouts of the season ?

 

I consider a breakout around 70-80m by the way, stop obsessing with the 100m  mark people, it s bad for your skin.

Big breakout is around 120-130m + ...

 

Steve Jobs ?

Joy ?

Revenant ?

Spotlight ?

Truth ?

Carol ?

Suffragette ?

Room ?

Hateful Eight ?

The Big Short ?

Danish Gurl ?

 

Place your bets for I have no clue.

 

Even though a movie like Room is so small that a small bo take would make it a success, it s all relative to the size of the movie.

Joy, The Revenant and Concussion

I think Hateful Eight doesn't look as good as Django, they shouldn't be opening it so close to The Revenant which has a bigger star and trailer looks better as well.

Nah he should do something small, with a budget under 10M. Do it the MNS way.

130 million weekend is dead. At least october still has a shot at 700m domestic.

Was Crimson Peak doing well a requirement to PR2 existing? (Maybe to Universal; I'm sure Thomas Tull would be desperate enough for franchises to make it no matter what...)

MNS funded The Visit and now while Blumhouse is funding his next movie it will cost less than 5M.

 

Ridley is different because The Martian succeeded. 

[Amadeus]

In Tarantino movies it's always Tarantino who is the star. And compared to Leo he is a very different star. Don't think the revenant will affect H8ful that much.

1 hour into Hellboy.

This shit isn't really that interesting. Hope the second is better.

[CoolioD1]

the second is gdt's best movie. honestly don't remember much about the first except that cool gasmask guy.

He mentioned that his next film is apparently a low-budget black n white and film.

Good to hear, I managed to get them both. I went to 5 different HMV's and 3 CEX's to try and find the second movie. It's been discontinued in the UK apparently.

1) The Revenant

2) Hateful 8

3) Joy

4) Jobs

None other is breaking out. The first three should pass 100m. Jobs should get a 25-30m OW and get to something close to 85-90.

[ddddeeee]

Hellboy II is like a Clive Barker superhero movie and I love it so much.

[Fancyarcher]

Del Toro has too much vision for them.

But DC I can see happening. If not JL Dark, then something.

 

WB / DC actually has about as much artistic integrity as Marvel, really, as much as they claim otherwise.

[MrPink]

I liked Hellboy II a lot. Unfortunate release timing, that one.

[DAJK]

I'm feeling really bad for The Walk. Want to see it, but this drop is awful

[FilmBuff]

Guys go check out pans labyrinth. A much better film than Crimson peak.
