BTW, you can't deny it has been a rough year for WB Next will be better American Sniper is still the success story of the year IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year will be better for WB. Mad Max ain't much of a moneymaker. They did have American Sniper though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 WB's problem was that they gave ridiculous budgets to all those films, I mean Point Break apparently costs $120m. Even Disney has the courtesy to overspend on shaky properties only once or twice per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webslinger Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Point Break cost $120 million?! As I've thought throughout every stage in its existence, I'll laugh hard if anyone accuses Point Break of ripping off the Fast & Furious movies. After seeing so many critics note the similarities between the first Fast film and the original Point Break, it would be a glorious example of action movie influences coming full circle.

WB didn't finance it, though. It's an Alcon production, they produce their own movies with WB handling distribution and marketing as part of their deal. So the losses won't be too great for them. They also had Get Hard and The Intern this year, which were solid hits (very much so in the latter's case, which likely would've hit $100M had it opened just a little bit higher with the strong legs it had). That's all they got, though. Edited December 12, 2015 by filmlover 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webslinger Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I'm still surprised that Warner Bros didn't save The Intern for December, where Nancy Meyers's past films have had great success. I remembered that its run had been rather leggy, but it had somehow slipped my mind until I glanced over at BOM that it's up to nearly $75 million(!).

filmlover Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) The Big Short is the winner of the weekend. $60K+ average from 8 theaters is pretty damn impressive. Edited December 12, 2015 by filmlover 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
