Not with a 110M budget.

[CJohn]

Yes. The sudden change is staggering. Unbelievable. By the way, JC needs this revived interest in movies from Americans.

I already explained this but people don't believe me

Not with a 110M budget.

The budget was edited to 79M during the weekend.

[Magic]

That's not too bad if that's the actual budget.

Thats the big question.. I doubt it

Some of us do

OMG, the power of The Rock and Peeta! I`m so happy for this increase. The movie`s kicking ass OS thoug so it`s a nice hit for everyone.

[pieman]

Will Journey 2 reach 100?

Not with a 110M budget.

...and the overseas gross?

Thats the big question.. I doubt it

I remember questioning Ray about budgets and he said he gets them directly from someone at the Studio, whether you trust the studio to give an accurate PB I don't know but I would say 79m is the most accurate figure we will get. Journey will make 200m+ WW and be a pretty successful film financially.The biggest winner of the weekend is definitely The Vow, it will gross well over 100m and likely 175m+ WW on a 30m budget which is fantastic.Safe House will go on to gross 100m from a 40m weekend and 250m WW imo which is amazing for Uni off of a 85m PB.

[Totem]

Will Journey 2 reach 100?

I don't think it will but to it's advantage is a lack of competition until Lorax is released.

In THG fans site I see lots of references to Journey 2 opening this weekend because of Josh.

...and the overseas gross?

We don't know whether the budget is 110M or this newly reported 79M. Secondly a film making less than it's budget domestically isn't generally a great sign of a continuing franchise (Narnia). They get a higher percentage of the grosses domestically. It's not exactly going to be a monster OS. It may do fine depending on what the budget is and what the domestic total ends up being.

Possibly some crazy uber-fans going to see him but that's not the biggest part. The Rock is the main draw here.

[CJohn]

It will do over 200M OS. And with a 27M OW it will do something like 80-90M DOM.

The Rock is becoming a big star. He helped Fast Five. Now Journey 2, and the next is GI Joe next Summer.

Nope, Michael Caine is, The Rock is just a bonus
