BadAtGender Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 The perception that Fox does things poorly is almost entirely because they don't have any huge films. But like Universal, they tend to be really solid all around. HTTYD2 is a disappointment, but it's going to be at least okay in the end.You want a studio with a disappointing year, look at WB. Very feast (Lego and Godzilla) or famine over there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 X-Men will get over 700m WW. It's done its job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The47th Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I think their results are stellar. Not only they are the #1 studio at the BO, but they have also have released very good films. Yes, you can always point out how better the BO run could have been for most of films, but in the end, this is the real world, not everything is going to be perfect. I mean, even the biggest disappointment so far, Dragon 2, is not going to ruin the series the same way X3 and Origins did for X-Men, and the quality will assure good results on TV and the home video market. And of course, the brightest spot is DOFP, which has renewed the profile of the series as one of the main players in the post-Marvel Studios landscape. Yes, you could argue that it hasn't made as much DOM as it could have, but in the end it does have brought back a lot of the public lost with time (something especially hard for a long series).

bapi Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 So now DOFP is doing what was expected? Seriously guys where are all those 260+ predictions now? Some of you guys remind me filmnerdjamie with his "called it" after literally every movie news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 DOFP domestic did less that the potential franchise peak but it still is a great step forward considering franchise was dropping with every new film. I think wolverine last year was a mistake as DOFP would have benefited from 3 year wait since FC. Still a solid year for fox. Only dragon 2 domestic is disappointing. But its looking at solid run OS and overall will be profitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The47th Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) I think wolverine last year was a mistake as DOFP would have benefited from 3 year wait since FC. Or it benefited DOFP with its good reviews and by cleaning the image of Wolverine, which was tarnished by Origins. The point is, the series is back on form. No matter how it got there.

baumer Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 DOFP is over $700m ww at still climbing, Fault will make like 20 times its budget and Apes has breakout potential if it's good. Dragon 2 is its only disappointment. This. We have to start accepting the fact that money is a world wide thing now. Us/Can is just one market. Fox has done just fine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 With HTTYD2, the domestic performance is a bit disappointing, but keep in mind that this is helping build up a franchise, which doesn't consist of feature films only. There's a TV series ("Riders of Berk"), there's toys - HTTYD2 with its slow but solid performance will strengthen this franchise further, and maybe expand the demographic a bit with its more grown-up hero. The Tinkerbell movies are no blockbusters but rest assured Disney knows what they're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackzack Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 DOFP is a bona fide global blockbuster with $700M WW. Fault is nicely lucrative. Dragon 2 could have been bigger but the OS number is very good. Apes 2 is shaping up to be a seriously substantial smash hit. More to come: Museum 3, Exodus & those bizarre Penguins.

zackzack Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Anyway with 3 Avatar sequels till 2018, Fox can shut down, delay & mothball all other projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Beezy Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 They've had a better summer than Warner Bros., though. Fortunately, Edge of Tomorrow is still slowly pushing its way toward profitability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhagya Bharadwaj Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Dofp should have easily done 250 million domestically with a summer without a big smash. Though the positive point is that it rejuvenated a franchise. Tfios marketing was bad but thanks to fangirls and john green that film had a massive opening. Even apes 2 has a bad marketin, just hope it is a hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revisionism where you say it should have done 250, cause it's gonna finish at 230 is just as bad as revisionism from those who over-predicted.
