filmlover Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 2 minutes ago, grim22 said: Just heard a radio ad which within 2 sentences succinctly explains why "Edge of 17" flopped. The ad pitches the movie as "The teen movie this generation deserves. Sitting at 95% on Rotten Tomatoes" etc. and then ends with "Under 17 not allowed without parent". They literally blocked the same people they need watching it from actually watching it. The Edge of Seventeen is terrific. Such a shame it's flopping.

I do wonder what Warner Bros' expectations for Justice League next year, it has the plum mid November slot so they must be expecting $130-140m OW minimum. I feel like they might have already shot their wad in terms of great marketing moments for Sing. At first I thought it had a puncher's chance of beating Moana, but he last trailer was definitely a step down from the first one. Its not going to suffer Storks fate (dramatically underachieving what it should have done due to crappy marketing), but I agree that SLOP is probably safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real production budget I do not know, but the US/CAN distribution rights got bought for $10m by amazon (= include the didgtal/download rights), who in turn have contracts with cinema distributors = for this film Roadside Attractions ~ co-distributes. OS rights via Sierra also could be ~ $10m In the hope this helps a bit. Edited November 22, 2016 by terrestrial added 'rights' after OS 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 So if FB follows MJ2, it would do something like: Tuesday: 8.7 Wed: 10.4 Thur: 7.5 Friday: 15 Saturday: 14.5 Sun: 7.7 The Monday number is good, but not unlike other films that came out on the same weekend, like Twilight and Hunger Games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got something wrong there with your numbers. Following MJ2 would mean: Tuesday: 9.0 Wed: 10.8 Thur: 8.2 Friday: 16,8 Saturday: 16.0 Sun: 8.3 69,1m total Following MJ1: Tuesday: 9.1 Wed: 11.0 Thur: 8.3 Friday: 18.2 Saturday: 16.6 Sun: 8.1 71,3 total 60m over the 5d should be the mark.

Not at all. It's doing exactly what quite a few would consider a best case scenario for a B-lister, little known comic book property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 6 hours ago, TalismanRing said: Huge B.O. in Japan is all about legs I fully agree. But this will open in the Potter opening range in USD or even come close to DH2. Seeing the signs in the rest of the world, I don't expect it to be more frontloaded than that. And even if it would be, such a weekend would be so massive that even mediocre legs for the Japan market would take it to a huge total. But again, nothing points to bad WOM.

Poseidon Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) There's actually 9 guys and 2 half guys on the picture. Would be even more awesome. But 9m is right in line with expectations. Edited November 23, 2016 by Poseidon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
