Ok, maybe not 270. But 250 easy. 

IDR is not breaking $100M domestically. It's WOM is toxic. I don't know how many people have already told me that it's terrible because I've lost count. Besides that just look at its user rating and how it's tracking on social media....it's terrible. And as we've seen just because IDR might be the only option doesn't mean people are going to watch it.

Yea, I was kidding. I think it will due 120 with the 4th next weekend. Joking aside I watched it last Wednesday and it was awful.

Is Lively not taken seriously because she's hot good looking and young?

Did'nt hurt Jennifer Lawrence or Natalie Portman.

I think it's because Lively has not really done anything that impressive until "SHallows". She has been a competent actress in her films, but not more then that. Now she finally got a role that gave her a chance to show she has major acting chops.

Here I thought you were serious...only because there is a special poster who actually thinks IDR is going to take away from Dory's numbers. No names need to be mentioned because we all know who it is.

Uh, you do know that the studio only gets half the box office of a film, don't your?

IDR cost 162 Million. That means it needs to take around 330 Million to just break even. Even in your scenario,Fox has to eat 70 Million dollars in losses.

IDR is going to bomb. Only question is how bad a bomb will it be.

 

 

Oh, you were joking. Sorry. But you will be amazed how many people on a website devoted to Film Box offce don't know about that the studio only gets half the box office take.

What is sad is that you have number of serious dramas on each year's top ten list. Nowdays that could never happen.

[La Binoche]

The '90s had the best mix of art and commerce. I mean look at 1991. You had T2, Beauty & The Beast, The Silence of the Lambs, Thelma & Louise,  Boyz N The Hood and Point Break playing in 1000s of theaters. Imagine being a moviegoers during that time. I was born during the wrong time

This was the only year end list from the 10 years that made me go "What? really?". I know There's Something About Mary was a mini pop-culture event in 1998, but didn't realize that it finished 3rd for the year, and The Waterboy is also in the top 5. A very good year for comedies with Doctor Dolittle and Rush Hour (and some would argue Patch Adams) in the top 10 as well.

IDR won't break even, and it is surprising how many people don't get that studio gets 50% of box office take (55%, according to some sources). But ancillary revenues are critical to the bottom line.

If you include top 20, 2012 was the year the popular drama last thrived...

 

2015 The Martian (ranked 8, if you count it as such), The Revenant (13)

2014 American Sniper (ranked 1)

2013 American Hustle (ranked 17), Gatsby (18)

2012 Lincoln (13), Django (15), Les Miserables (18), followed soon by Argo, Silver Linings Playbook, Life of Pie, Zero Dark Thirty

 

There are some, but yeah, the drama has become rare. Studios or the American public seemed to stop caring in 2012. I'm curious to see if any serious drama will cross 200 million this year.

 

A way to look at it is...the popular dramas are still making about the same amount of money, but there are a lot more tent-pole blockbuster types, which also include many more animated films. Soon, the top 10 might just be animated films. If a studio just wanted money, they'd concentrate on animated blockbusters and 100 low-budget horror movies.

Lol at anyone hating Pixar.  They are literally the model for which everyone should strive, putting out incredible quality for 20+ years and making obscene money.  

 

For 15 years, after Toy Story 3 the only incredible quality we got was Inside Out. The rest wasn't even "good quality".

[Daxtreme]

The audience that still goes to the cinema simply wants something different than 20 years ago.

 

Just looking at the box office these last years, it's not hard figuring just what type of movie it is 

[filmlover]

I saw Independence Day 2 today. It's HORRIBLE!

Yeesh, no one's even throwing it the "turn your brain off and enjoy" bones Michael Bay's films usually get

1998 was sort of like 2014, where there were a number of solid earners but nothing broke out to monster numbers. Saving Private Ryan would have come in fourth in both 1997 and 1999, and third in both 1996 and 2000.
