American Sniper overperformed more than Get Out did. Young black people still watch a lot of movies, a bunch of seventy year old "Trump's America" people literally only care about American Sniper and Fox News.

The amount of young black people is less than 3% of the entire US population. Trump supporters however (the ones who would flock to movies like AS) make up over 65% of the entire US population.

Weren't you the one throwing a tantrum begging to be banned a few weeks back? To quote your favorite movie, get out!

Its amazing how expectations play for movies. Peter Jackson's Kong earned more domestic and just a little less WW than Skull Island on a slightly larger budget but never recovered from the perception of being a flop thanks to sky high expectations  (and being very bloated), Skull Island on the other hand had very low expectations and this result is a big win for everyone involved.

 

The word 'Titanic' was thrown around a lot before KK released.

BOM's Narnia vs Potter vs Kong showdown made Kong seem even more like a looser, 292 vs 290 vs 218.

120 itself is high for this film imo. It should do very well in Europe so WW should be strong. May not do much in China (and rest of Asia).

I am waiting for a Dunkirk Under Inglorious Basterds (120.5) club from @Tele Came Back so I can go IN.

 

We are talking about budget not gross...

Saving Private Ryan was $70m budget in 1998 @redfirebird2008. Yes big cast and Spielberg but plenty of those guys outside of Hanks were early on in their careers. Not sure how Dunkirk doesnt double it when paying Nolan $20m upfront. 

 

Hanks and Spielberg would have been paid a ton of money upfront. Hanks was not far removed from Forrest Gump and Spielberg was not far removed from Jurassic Park and Schindler's List.

You could very well be right, Nolan has carte Blanche with this project so you can't be too sure.

Wow! Did not know that.

But I won't go In on that. Too low.

The poster that Davincicode was replying to implied that young black people were the ones who were watching Get Out which is why Davincicode responded with the stats that he did.

Well you would think WB is not stupid enough to give a mega budget to the project (above Interstellar budget), but maybe they are desperate enough to keep him working for them. Who knows.

I don't even bother with them, they are clearly bored and want to stir some shit up and get me banned again.

I disagree, safe to say it's $150m+. Just an opinion since we don't have the hard data. 

 

Hard to say, not sure if you are talking about gross or net budget, but yeah 150m for the gross budget of a movie like Dunkirk seem logical, Deepwater Horizon was 156 million after all, Logan 126 million.

 

Will know more once how much it got from France tax incentive program and others it has used.With the new generous french tax credit (20 to 30%) those gross and net number could end up quite different. Valerian got around 34 million, that and low Euro exchange rate should make it easy to keep an healthy low budget, that and the fact that it is Nolan, he has the reputation to use less money than is greenlighted budget instead of going over.

In that case it would have helped if he had quoted that poster in his post which would easily add some context.
