Fifty Shades of Grey had a budget of $40 million. Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed seems to be sharing a production budget of only $20 million. Simply because it was registered in the BC director guild production list as a project in the over 20m category.... https://web.archive.org/web/20160202192412/http://www.dgc.ca/bc/production_list/Production List.pdf When it is about fanbase movies a lot of very "weak" even weaker than the weak movie trade (deadline, variety type, etc..) reporting surrounding them happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and this is a trash cover: The Greatest Showman Blu-Ray also allegedly releases on March 6th. The BO fan in me is not happy about early releases for leggy runs, but I can kind of understand them wanting to maximize DVD sales at the cost of a little of the box office profits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoguy Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Jumanji's Blu-Ray is releasing March 20. WTF is Sony doing? Late legs are going to be crippled! Oh, and this is a trash cover: Nothing wrong with that home video release date, Sony wants to make as much money as possible by releasing it before Easter. I'm grateful Wonder Woman will be keeping its spot as the Top 3 DOM movie for 2017 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear the home video release dates are locked in before movies are even released in theaters. Sony probably had no idea how well Jumanji was going to do anyway, they just wanted a date before Easter holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The budget for the first was $40M and the sequels were shot together, saving money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 50 Shades is gonna get way too close for comfort to 100m for me. Hope it doesn't go much above 40. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) $1b could actually be a small possibility for Jumanji if it were able to hit something like 50m in Japan (860 + 50 DOM + 50 Japan + 40 other OS). Though I'm not sure how much it would appeal to that market. Edited February 10, 2018 by MovieMan89 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 If Shades sequels have been that cheap to make then I think we could get a couple more, again shot ass to ass back to back save money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequels with re-negotiated cast cost would explode thought, I imagine that together would want what a 60 to 100m type of package by movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hoping it adds 10-15 more from Dom and OS-Japan than your calcs and leaving it 25-30 to get from Japan.

Live-action films typically do poorly in Japan unless it's a musical, a Disney fairy tale, or popular franchise like Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, or Jurassic Park. I would expect a gross around $10 million in Japan for Jumanji, which seems to be the average for live-action films outside the aforementioned categories. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirates 1 for example wasn't a franchise film and still did 50m+ in Japan. Considering how its broken out pretty much everywhere, probably shouldn't rule it completely out.
