filmscholar Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Under Covenant? Well Damn. It grossed 33 Million total in 82 and that's what it's going to make OW. Talking about coming full circle. I guess in 2050 Will be calling it a "Slept On" Classic right?. Edited October 7, 2017 by filmscholar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Meanwhile at Fox, nobody wants to make that phone call to Ridley Scott : " Listen Mr Scott, Your 4 movie-plan for the Alien franchise, I don't think it s gonna work, Sir ..." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRing Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 As for BR's numbers this weekend I should stop doubting the Fandango Pulse Meter. I did it with IT when I saw it was selling around SMHC levels but still bought into the prevailing predictions. Thur night at 7pm, BR was averaging half of Dunkirk and 82% of Kingsman - or $25-$32m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmnerdjamie Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 To be fair... Alien: Covenant was cheaper to produce than Prometheus and turned a profit (despite a lower gross). I can't not see another film happening. Just not with Scott in charge or continuing David's story nor do I see them digging up Blomkamp's Aliens sequel.

( 97 prod budget ) Total Lifetime Grosses Domestic: $74,262,031 31.0% + Foreign: $165,544,038 69.0% = Worldwide: $239,806,069 I can see another film, but looking at the global drop from Prometheus ( 130 budget ) and considering that further reduction in budget might not be possible, can't see a continuation of the same saga. Total Lifetime Grosses Domestic: $126,477,084 31.4% + Foreign: $276,877,385 68.6% = Worldwide: $403,354,469 Edited October 7, 2017 by a2knet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfHan Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 If it stays flat from the true Friday: 12.7M 8.7M (-31%) 5.2M (-40%) 26.6M Weekend, $6,555 PTA Honestly, if it makes 8.7M today, a 45% drop tomorrow wouldn't shock me at all. That would lower it to 4.8/26.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People get hyped up for non-franchise movies and convince themselves of wild BO glory... then are gutted when it doesn't happen. I felt that ARRIVAL numbers were probably a good result for BR2049 and it looks like that's where it'll end up (maybe somewhat under). It's fine to get excited about a movie based on quality (or perceived quality, before release), but that just doesn't guarantee good BO runs. In fact, for something like BR, it means probably just the opposite. It'd be a very good result if the budget wasn't at least 3x as big. This movie wasn't completely on my radar so I didn't know the budget until the last few weeks but assumed it was closer to Arrival than Mad Max 4. I was also surprised when tracking numbers started appearing at $40m+ and then $50m+ by the trades and B.O. sites. I don't think it's 20-20 hindsight thinking they made a big mistake overestimating the demand and audience for this film. I think it was an extreme lack of foresight in the never ending chase of IP that could hopefully spawn sequels. It's just the artier side of a studio spending $200m on a movie based on You Sunk My Battleship. Edited October 7, 2017 by TalismanRing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
