pinocchio Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yes, and it not only had been on TV... It had been there endless times.Therefore I still say 80 mio domestic and 80 mio overseas.The fact the Titanic Blu-Ray or even the DVD is out of print right now will hardly change the big picture IMO.

pinocchio Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 So I guess you are predicting something like 300-400 mio overseas? Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattrek Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Are we really forgetting that this movie was already on video, DVD and on television?We will see come April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vc2002 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yes, and it not only had been on TV... It had been there endless times.Therefore I still say 80 mio domestic and 80 mio overseas.The fact the Titanic Blu-Ray or even the DVD is out of print right now will hardly change the big picture IMO.On the other hand, being on TV endless times also suggests it's still very popular, which might lead to a great rerelease run. Who knows.Right now I'm predicting 160m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinocchio Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 A lot of movies are often on TV. Sometimes even movies that failed at the box office. Doesn't mean people would run to watch them on the big screen again. The only re-release that delivered really good numbers in the last decades was SW special edition in 97.(The biggest thing regarding re-releases was actually Gone with the Wind in the sixties -- but that was only possible because the producers always said "no" to TV showings and VHS didn't exist yet.)I don't think a converted 3D Titanic will have a huge impact. SW ANH special editions not only had new effects but it was also the first opportunity to see the movie in real good quality again. You only could watch it on TV or on VHS.Titanic will soon be available on Blu-Ray and everybody knows we will have a Titanic Blu-Ray 3D. So why hurry and run to the next movie theatre?

So why hurry and run to the next movie theatre?So that you can experience the classic in a room crowded full of people and share the tears and joy with others. Why did people rush out to see the lion king? For the nostalgia of seeing a classic back on the big screen in a room of 300 people sharing the same emotions together. It's not just about the movie, it's about the experience. Why do people rush out on opening weekend to see a movie when they could wait a couple weeks? For the experience of a packed theater engaged in the film. Not to mention people will be wanting to commemorate the 100th anniversary by revisiting the film.

lab276 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yeah, the 100th Anniversary of the sinking will be a huge deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 is that good? I don't know, if you don't mind is it possible to use monetary gross instead of admissions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I don't see where the 300M predicts are coming from.I am thinking something around 90-100M without China.As for China, I am confused why firedeep is predicting so high, but he has much more knowledge of his market than I have. I am thinking 15-20M there, but I am not sure about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking 15-20M there, but I am not sure about it.Because Titanic didn't get a release the first time around.I'll say 50m. I think it will do some damage but it will quickly fizzle out with Battleship and other movies coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebomb Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) It made 44M and was was the biggest film for 10 years until Transformers 2.Hmm, maybe I got it confused with another movie.But most Chinese aren't exactly rich that they will spend money to see something that they have already seen multiple times and can easily see it again without any cost.The market in China is expanding so people might want to see it for the first time if they weren't able to 15 years ago. I agree with you partially that some people will not want to see this again but I think with higher ticket prices and people's love of 3D, people will pay up to see it again so 50m in China should be no problem. Also, it's being released like a tentpole so I don't see this grossing only 15-20m. Edited April 4, 2012 by Bluebomb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 This is the biggest re-releases so far. The theater count is huge. Way bigger than Lion King or Star Wars (Beauty and the Beast will be released here on May). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinocchio Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 So, maybe something like 90 mio domestic and 180 mio OS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
