DlAMONDZ Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I don't get it. It's certified fresh at 90%. It should be breaking out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they spent around 70-80 mln for distribution, it doesn't make sense. They believe in 800-900 mln Dom gor BR? I don't think so. May be WB has all right for TV rights and HV market. Yes, it looks more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be breaking out Tomato Law couldn't save War/Apes either, another dark, depressing sci fi flick. And BR49 was longer, rated R, and based on a more obscure property. We should've seen the sub-40 m OW coming. Edited October 7, 2017 by grey ghost 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Damn, that's disappointing as fuck. Not even $40m? Fuck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Mid-30s for BR is hardly that surprising. It's not the type of movie that makes money these days. The original didn't even make doe back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I guess there was It at least I'm regurgitating a little bit of what deadlines and said here in their article but when this movie came out my question was always why is going to be a big hit? The original came out in 1982 and was pretty much a bomb. Now the sequel comes out this year and who is the sequel aimed at? It's a 3-hour movie or three and a half hour movie and people under the age of 40 aren't really going to know much about the film. The Trailer also really didn't give much of a hint in terms of what the story was about. It had amazing visuals and it had Harrison Ford and that's it....you don't really know what the films about. So the deadline article definitely brings up a lot of good points as to why this film really is struggling to find a huge audience. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aabattery Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 It definitely makes sense why it's doing poorly, but it's still a little disappointing after those preview numbers. I don't think it was super unreasonable to expect a bit more given the information we had at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would never happen to him In fairness to Dennis he doesn't have a MEGA Blockbuster like Nolan. Nolan probably won't flop in the near future as he will always have that "Dark Knight Trilogy" carryover fanbase that will give his films a chance. (Plus fans really enjoyed Inception, Interstellar and Dunkirk didn't do that bad at all for a war film) "Arrival" was Dennis breakout film box office wise and it's not like that killed it too huge with 200 Million Globally. So if these numbers pan out, they are in line with Dennis's overall performance. "Arrival" was about a 24 OW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
