DM3 both OS and worldwide

2.8x will give Dark Tower 55 dom with 19.5 ow. I don't think it can beat that (by much).

Good news is that it's prod budget is only 60. Hopefully can do well OS.

Is a dom disappointment nevertheless. 70-80 was conservatively reasonable imo.

meanwhile in china, a giant monster is marching towards SW7 final domestic gross, i think it's time for us to consider that we will have the 1st non-Hollywood $1b WW movie after Titanic first achieved the milestone in 1997.

Warner Bros made so much money from Nolan from TDK trilogy alone that they can afford to greenlit a risky film like Dunkirk.

Inception gave him even more power because he proved to them he didn't need famous comic book characters to turn a big profit for the studio.

Good for Sony. Finally a positive headline for them after a lot of negativity the last couple weeks.

Pretty Ballsy for WB to put a straight war film in such a coveted Summer slot but it paid off. 

Audiences want something different especially as Hollywood is actively trying to turn every weekend into summer. 

 

Huge fan of the man but I never 100% bought into Nolan being a household name among directors (which is a super rare club) who could command attention from the GA off their name alone. I... now do after Dunkirk.

We know our stuff

The Dark Tower's opening is not good so I don't see the positive headline for Sony. Beating the 3rd weekend of Dunkirk is not surprising or great especially when your film opens below 20mil. This time last year we had a 133mil opener.

WB gave up Friday the 13th and OS rights to a future South Park so they could be part of Interstellar and it ended up being a win for them.

325 + 550 = 875 WW for SM?

I think anyone who doubted that believes it now.

Yeah, I dunno how Paramount felt as domestic distributor but WB did very well with overseas gross near $490m.

Yeah WB had the better end of the deal I think.

[John Marston]

The Mummy passes 400m worldwide 

 

 

Total Lifetime Grosses

Domestic:	$79,937,595	19.9%
+ Foreign:	$322,200,000	80.1%
= Worldwide:	$402,137,595

But Paramount did get those rights on other franchises. Could turn out great for them too in the long run. 

[Zakiyyah6]

And 400mil worldwide would be something if more people actually liked The Mummy. Terminator and Warcraft show that 400+mil ain't all it's cracked up to be if your big budget film has a poor reception.

More importantly, Nolan is their official in-house prestige director.

It helps Warner secure their image as the last director centric studio in the Hills.
