WrathOfHan Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 The Big Short should be a good sized hit when it goes wide, no movie Adam McKay has directed is under 100M save for the first Anchorman which adjusts to 115. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a little bit different than the typical Adam McKay feature though. I do expect that if the reception maintains the positivity it seems to right now it should do a solid number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macleod Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) 1 hour ago, cookie said: 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. People also need to remember and recognize that Warner Bros. (and most other majors) are not fully funding their own productions anymore...groups like Ratpac/Dune and Legendary Pictures are often putting up 50% or more of the budget, so the studios' risk/failure are not quite as damaging as widely stated. (And Legendary's upstart nature is also proving to be a bit problematic, with most of the of the strongly Tull-backed projects underperforming or bombing -- coincidentally, both of GDT's last two films). And of course....pre-sales mitigate risk, as well. Edited December 12, 2015 by Macleod 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Being an extreme athlete costs money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Saw In The Heart of the Sea today. It is really good. But no matter where they put it, it would tank. WB has some big balls to spend what they spent on movies like Jupiter Ascending, Pan, Sea, Point Break and Legend of Tarzan, between many others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not sure how WB and Ritchie let it get so high when after Cruise left they lowered the budget from $90 to $60m. Then they wound up with a film almost costing the same. So far, of these bombs Pan is the biggest with $150m budget and $125m WW. Hollywood Reporter has it pegged for a $130-150m loss for WB after ancillaries. Ouch.
