Hell is an endless loop of Covfefe playing over and over. The good news is that Ridley wants to kill the franchise so much so that Fox might not give him another shot at it What?! Why still call it Alien then? Fucking call it David: Awakening. They need to stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggestgeekever Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Man, that's a rough, depressing weekend number. I wonder how much the film overindexed in Seattle; it was packed here all around town during the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmnerdjamie Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Talked to a pal last night and suggested the reason Denis Villeneuve gave that non-denial, non-answer on Bond was to wait and see how Blade Runner 2049 (didn't) open. You watch. Within a month, he'll be officially on board for Craig's swan song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BXT Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 There are no box office draws anymore. It isn't like DiCaprio would've turned a $100 million grossing movie into a $200 million one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somebody85 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 2 hours ago, filmlover said: I was expecting something like a B or B- for Blade Runner so an A- is really good news. I guess everyone got what they expected! And that's all Cinemascore really is. Unless you mismarket something, you usually don't bomb unless you're a truly shitty horror film (not referring to mother but other stuff). OW isn't anything great but Blade Runner has always been more of a cult classic, not something like Star Wars. I wish it had done better because it deserves to. I guess we'll see how actual WOM is. I know of a few people who loved it who want to see it in theaters again (myself included). And if you have Dolby 5.1 ATMOS theaters, this movie is fucking great in it. 2D too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lehnsherr Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Correct me if I'm wrong but Alcon Entertainment is the studio that co-financed Blade Runner 2049 with Sony and not WB right? And they only get the domestic grosses while Sony gets all the foreign. WB is only the distributor in North America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtract his salary and the first basis points he gets and the production will be at the same place they are at now. Movies like this either sell themselves or they don't.

I think if he was actually involved with Blade Runner 2049 (sci-fi concept and all), it could have opened to over 50m.

eXtacy Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I don't trust Deadline multipliers so I i still want to see a friday number. For all we know they might be doing something like this 16m 12m 8m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
