Most of these budgets numbers are wrong.

[Brainbug]

Its giving me hope for justice and humanity that War for the Planet of the Apes passed Transformers.

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.

 

 

They have Clint and Affleck too. Both of them have delivered way more prestige for WB with Oscar wins for Best Picture/Director. 

 

 Nolan is their big budget, big risk guy who keeps finding a way to turn profit for them on questionable projects. He is the most powerful person at WB but I wouldn't call him their prestige guy. Clint probably should have that title.

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

 

Pretty sure Paramount will lose the rights to the Friday the 13th series back to WB  pretty soon too if they don't get a film out by 2018 meaning WB basically made off with a robbery.

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

I don't know how co-productions are structured but Interstellar made $47m profit so I assume it was split between Paramount, WB and Legendary. 

[Zakiyyah6]

Transformers did horribly in North America and it's overseas numbers look good but are low for the franchise. 

[filmnerdjamie]

Eastwood and Nolan deliver big products and are fiscally responsible with the budgets (big or small) they command. 

 

As for Affleck... not certain how much longer he has there, frankly.

They consider him their current Kubrick, prestigious enough I would say.

The Oscars can suck it.

Deep.

Believe one of our insiders @kowhite was very confident Paramount did get to share in some of the overseas money. So they didn't get completely screwed by WB.

A major box office record has been broken today! And it’s not related to superhero movies – it’s a big animation record:

Despicable Me is now the highest grossing animated franchise OF ALL TIME!

With today’s grosses, it has surpassed The Shrek franchise’s 3.51B and has now earned $3.55B becoming the highest grossing animated franchise IN BOX OFFICE HISTORY! And that’s with only 4 films compared to 5 films for the Shrek franchise.

War of the Planet of the Apes should've been released this weekend. August is so barren this year...

Stephen Kings IT should have been released this or next weekend. Fucking Annabelle!

[Zakiyyah6]

It's stupid that a weak ass movie like Dark Tower got such a good release date.

Granted I have it under-performing next month, but Kingsman: The Golden Circle could have benefited here too.

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.

 

Yep, it is obvious that the interest was there but sadly they failed to deliver. I'm pretty crushed about it.

Live By Night and the Batman problems are bound to impact his relationship with the studio. Curious to see how it goes. 

[YM!]

With that drop, and if Emoji keeps on following Smurfs 2, it'll do about $75M between Smurfs 2 unadjusted ($71M) and Surfs Up adjusted ($76M).
