Lol someone is a little upset. 

37m for this not a flop. It had small budget. Sweetie, please learn about box office before calling this a flop 

well there was a club here saying it'd outgross The Fault in our Stars

So? There was a club saying Tomb Raider would pass 150M and it'll barely crawl to 60. Maybe.

Lol people thought Tomb Raider would do 150m

So? both TR and LV are domestic flops. And constantly bringing up TR is childish

Nah. One of those doubled its budget.

I think he meant LS but who knows. 

 

The theater drop this week might keep Simon below $1M this weekend. Before this weekend, it was playing at 3 of the 4 closest theaters to me which I frequent and it was playing 4 times a day at each of those theaters. Now, it's down twice a day at one theater and four times at another. $42M seems like a ballpark for its final domestic gross, barring something odd like a boost from drive-in showings with Deadpool in a few weeks.

Tomb Raider is still $40m away from its budget domestically. Love Simon has more than doubled its budget.

 

One of those is a flop and one is a hit.

budget talk is extremely overrated.

 

LS is not a flop, but it's not a hit, it's just there. A movie that's done ok and no one will remember or care for in 2019

The "losers" that have watched it over a dozen times will. So will countless other that were touched or saw themselves of the subject matter.

 

You know what bombing would-be franchise no one will remember or care for in 2019?? I'd tell you but I don't wanna be called inmature by thin-skinned fanboys.

Fixed it for you.

 

Edit: Don't know why this became such a long rant, people will see what they want, however many times they want to. There isn't anything productive in calling someone a "loser" because they enjoyed a film so much, so what is the point? (that was rhetorical because there isn't a point)

Here's another moviegoer who has pushed the view count into double digits. If only adult audiences had given this film a chance ...

275m gross on a 94m budget is not a bomb, lol. Try harder. We know you'll watch the sequel.

We're talking domestic, where it's performance's been as pathetic as its plotting. And nah, I gave it a shot because of Vikander, but besides getting a good laugh from a ridiculously long set piece, the experience was the dullest two hours of this year for me. And I've had to go to a Requiem mass this year.

Tomb Raider

$28M from Domestic Reveue (50%)

$19.6M from China (25%)

$51.8M from International (40%)

$99.4M Worldwide Revenue. $5.4M after production budget

 

Love, Simon

$19.3M Domestic (50%)

$2.6M International (40%)*

$21.9M Worldwide Revenue. $4.9M after production budget

 

Difference between these two films may be marketing budgets. Love, Simon likely cost a lot less to market due to online campaigns and less traditional (Billboards etc) types of marketing compared to Tomb Raider

 

*Love, Simon still has MANY markets left to open in

 

Edit: Not saying Tomb Raider is a bomb, just a huge disappointment.

Dont be a hater. No one is saying TR is a brilliant movie but it's a good pop corn movie and alicia was excellent. A 49% rating making is the best rated videogame movie ever and a 6,8 on imdb proves it, but if you wanna be childish go for it.

 

As I said, TR is not a dissapointment considering how hard its been lately for female action movies other than WW

Just saw this yesterday in theater, the movie took a bit too much of a while to become special but it reach such high high at is peak.

 

Anyway I get why it didn't took of like a little miss sunshine, I think it take too much time to reach is high (even too that make a movie that really earn is payoff and is extra cheese)

 

I imagine that in other era maybe this and Edge of Seventeen could have been nice theatrical hit, some mini Juno or a Little Miss Sunshine type.

I just gave my honest opinion. I do agree that Vikander was great, too bad everything around her let her down. But next time (IF a sequel is made), I'd rather rewatch Ex-Machina.
