Yeah, it could do 4.2-4.4x the prod budget which is just great for movies with 100+ budget. but it disappointed a little dom (shouldn't have gone below 110m). Still we should get a 3rd one imo. Fox had Apes earlier and that's looking at 495 ww on a 152 prod budget, so 440+ for Kingsman2 is great but the reception has been mixed it seems and affects the goodwill of the franchise.

They didn't spend shit on Blade Runner. They are only distributing it in the U.S. They spent very little. IT is all profit, all the time.. Sorry to burst your bubble. LOL.

Yeh the reception hasn’t been great. Still enough money to reduce the budget and make a third and final film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That One Girl Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 IT also wasn't funded by Warner. They only distributed and marketed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's much easier to say IT is a Warner film because New Line is owned by Time Warner, while Alcon Entertainment isn't... But either way, I don't care.

narniadis Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Overall a rather weak start to October - really needed the below the top 3 to kick in with good holds cause with all the new films coming out the next couple of weeks the depth in the market is going to be zero.... *sigh* studios can't ever learn. Or learn all the wrong things lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 The UK opening for BR2049 was £6.1m four day opening which is impressive considering it underperformed in the US. It wouldn't be the first film to do better in one country compared to the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is generalized it could give some credence to the domestic audience not feeling a grim movie right now (and a studio having a hard time doing the promo here), when foreign territory perform the same has the US, those reason advanced loose all credibility, but when the difference is huge they could explain a part of that difference.

boxofficeth Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I have the feeling that HDD could upset many by topping BR2049's 31.5M opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still enough money to reduce the budget and make a third and final film. Yeah. Though I have a tough time getting over it's dom performance. This wasn't a heavy serious complex franchise. It's was supposed to be smart colorful romp and after the immense good-will of the 1st one* the best case scenario IMO was 165 (up 25-30% from K1) if not more (say a JS22 like 40% bump) and the middle case was around 135 (+5%). The worst case was 105 if it got very bad reception. Never thought it would be staring at 95-100. But franchises can recover. Case in point, Annabelle:Creation. Confident there will be a K3 especially if China improves on the 1st one's ~75 gross, and hope it's a better film. *which btw did 3.5x+ despite ow being boosted by Valentine's Day Sat: jumped 71% from Friday Edited October 8, 2017 by a2knet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 The UK led all markets with $8M for the weekend. That came in on par with Interstellar’s FSS and was 15% above Mad Max: Fury Road in 2015. Australia took a great $3.6M, topping both Interstellar (+9%) and Gravity (+28%); and Russia scored $4.9M, ahead of Gravity (+16%) and Mad Max (+1%). Other top markets include: France ($3.6M), Germany ($3.3M), Spain ($2.6M), Italy ($2.5M), Brazil ($1.8M), and Mexico ($1.6M). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screw Colombus (and Cortes)! Anyway I'm not surprised Blade Runner underperformed. I saw it with some friends and they thought it was slow and boring (not enough action).
