Hidden Figures' run has been beyond insane. $180M is looking very likely now.

 

The movie is not winning any Oscars, and the theater count is going to tremendously drop as a result of the busy March release schedule. It is not getting to $180,000,000 or $170,000,000. It will probably gross just above $160,000,000, which is still really great.

It's too bad Logan comes out next week. That will take away a huge audience from Get Out. i think Get Out would have had really good legs. It seems to be getting great word of mouth. 

 

I do not see the connection.

These numbers are way off. 

 

Where is the US home entertainment revenue? International home ent? Worldwide rentals? (at that time), US cable tv? US network tv? international TV? 

 

Plus you've deducted a co-financier share, but haven't taken them into account on the budget or global P&A spend? 

 All the revenues are in the total revenue of 79.5 million, that is not a bad revenue total for a movie that made 57 million at the world box office.

 

For the third party investement I wonder about that too, I imagine their investment was put into cost reductions directly.

I'm really happy Hidden Figures is going well.

 

Took my kids to see it for Black History Month and I'm proud to say they really dug it.

[Arlborn]

If those La La Land numbers hold that's a wonderful drop right before Oscars. I wonder what it can do next week if it sweeps the Oscars.

[Krissykins]

There's a lot of new posters all of a sudden.

 

Hope they don't drag this place down like iMDB.

Logan is bound to open at 55M+ at the very least. As a fellow R-rated film that appeals to a younger base (horror movoes tend to do that as well), its audience overlaps w/Get Out's, whose drop next weekend will suffer due to the fan rush to see Logan.

Shitty forums attract flies.

 

BOT attracts humming birds...

 

And the occasional nectar bat.

That would be a major comedown if Logan only opens to $2m more than The Wolverine

Hey, I did say "at the very least". I'm pretty damn certain it'll outopen The Wolverine by a comfortable margin, so don't worry

They do, Get Out got a distribution deal with Universal, Split too, Don't breathe was a Sony movie, except for Disney they are all doing it. For the non disney studio, most of their movie are not giant budget. Many of those cheap horror you have in mind are studio backed and studio distributed.

 

Studio do those survey but do not release them. When they greenlighted Alice 2 in 2012, I'm sure survey did show a lot of interest, that movie was such a safe bet that even with a terrible reception it did 300 million WW. When a movie achieve to be in the top 30 of the year's with a terrible 30%RT score, it was certainly not a dumb bet by the studio.

 

Excellent post! Thank you! Much clearer now.

It won't see too much of a boost since it's already made so much money and is a bit old now (plus it's been locked to win Best Picture for some time), but $155M is still within sight. It's had a great run either way.

Waaaaa? Isn't Logan already tracking for 65M? Heck, that was 3 weeks ago? C'mon, Logan, you can do 80M!

Alice in Wonderland was a good bet by the studio?  I don't agree with that.

 

Sure, the first did a billion but that was right after Avatar came out and made 3D really appealing.  Johnny Depp was at the apex of his career and the cat was also stellar.  

 

Then you look at what they put out with Alice Through the Looking Glass.  The budget of 170 million is monstrous and then you add in about another 100 million for everything else and you have a film that has a budget of about 300 million.  3D is dead, Depp is a pariah and they couldn't or wouldn't even use Hathaway in their marketing because she too was somewhat of a pariah.  Everyone at this site knew the film was going to tank and tank gloriously.   To invest in a sequel that no one asked for with a cast that people didn't really care for was just arrogance and stupidity.  Disney doesn't do much wrong but this one was a horrible miscalculation on their part.

Wasn't this greenlighted before 3D kinda died and Depp was still a draw though?

[JohnnyGossamer]

Awesome number for Get Out!

Depp did Lone Ranger in 2013 and Hathaway did Les Mis in 2012.  And 3D has been dead for about 4 years now.

Unique horror and horror comedies are on the roll, do you think it'll continue with Colossal? That one is also getting out-of-this-world buzz. Now that we are speaking of pariah Anne.

She's not a pariah anymore.  But before she did Interstellar she had trouble getting work.
