fmpro Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 That is relatively good. Bigger than the first TWILIGHT. Maybe bigger than JOHN CARTER.It could give JC a run for its money...The grosses are not huge but still very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinocchio Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Overseas grosses are negligible for this as expected. Not that Lionsgate cares. I understand they sold off foreign distribution rights.They did? Do you have a link? So far I could not find anything but the idea makes sense for me.

pinocchio Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Ah, okay, this is from the Hollywood Reporter: Hunger Games is assured of being a profit generator for Lionsgate, which contends it kept marketing costs under $50 million. And the company, which plans on making three more Hunger Games films, covered a large share of the budget by selling off foreign rights. http://www.hollywood...tcherson-304030 So, they more or less will have the domestic gross and that's it.

Also gives more credence to our question before about splitting Mockingjay in 2... I am pretty sure that is going to happen. And I think they'll be more than happy with domestic gross Especially since it says there the foreign sales already basically covered the budget.

pinocchio Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Well, it just means Lionsgate is NOT a big player now as some posters have suggested in other threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yeah. They will be just like Summit (ironic since they acquired them). One big cash cow franchise and a string of low budget middling releases. I don't expect anything else from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinocchio Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Lionsgate isn't greedy and doesn't gamble it seems. They have a solid library and a good DVD conversion rate. I don't think they even want to be °big°.In the end that just means you lose your independence and become part of a multi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 At least it's good to see they recovered from the Conan debacle last year. The more players, the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 They didn't risk it all this time around but I'm sure we can all agree they won't be selling foreign rights for CF if it isn't worth their while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinocchio Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Cine-directors predict 330'000 admissions next full week for France. THG would just drop -35% which is rather good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Hmmm..that seems rather low. It must have had poor weekdays or something...2 weeks of holidays in some countries should do it good now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Hmmm..that seems rather low. It must have had poor weekdays or something...2 weeks of holidays in some countries should do it good now.In many countries it opened on Wednesday or Thursday, so a the $59M opening already included a lot of weekdays. Dropping 7% (from $59M to $54.9M) without any significant new markets seems excellent to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
