CJohn Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 100M OW WW is coming. Sounds good with so many big markets left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Apparently it's disappointing in the UK, but when I saw it, it was packed. Same for a lot of other UK posters here too...Yet it seems it's on track to do only $4-5m for the 5 day.I expected that in £'s... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ariadne Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 What do people think the WW total will be from this start - anything less than 300m WW would be disasterous right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 400M WW is happening. Hoping for 500M. That should be enough to greenlight a sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sub 300M would indeed be a disaster, but that's not happening.350M is a push- it will do much better than that.400M to 425M is when we start expecting a sequel, and 500M is huge.

Totem Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 It will make around 420m WW max imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it isn't in 3D we won't get a sequel IMO, either way why invest 200m in a film you know won't give you returns for year, are those small returns even worth risking that much money? I doubt they go through with it, would be as stupid as the new GI Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 SWatH is first a period drama, then a fairy tale and lastly it is also a fantasy movie. That should help it in Europe. It is very dark, but I don't understand the PG-13 rating. A lot of kids animation movies are more frightening, Ratatouile for instance.A sequel is not happening IMHO, if they were not able to come up with an interesting story in the first place, guess what they would produce for the sequel.

fishstick Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 The sequel is bound to go the WotT route cause WOM is very mixed so there are definitely many people who aren`t clamoring for the sequel. Domestic drop, maybe on par with SWATH OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I enjoyed the movie a lot but even I'm not hoping for a sequel. I'll watch it if it happens, but mostly my thoughts on it are "what's the point?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb02 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 They took a major gamble with this having such a high budget, and managed to win. Best to quit while ahead. I'd rather see new adaptations of other legends rather than a sequel to a story that did not have a sequel. (The comparision to Wrath is apt in that respect, as the story of Perseus didn't have a sequel, and the sequel story was not really workable).

rb02 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Of course I would see the sequel if it did happen, despite my last point. It would surely be more intriguing than 95% of the crap foisted upon us at the cinema today, at least as far as wide releases go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
