If it maintains the 40/60 DOM/WW split, it'll make double the budget. Once home media is factored in, Fox is in the green.

I doubt we'll get a sequel though.

Anyways, those stupid arguments that JLaw isn't a draw anymore can be put to bed. Both this and Joy made/will make nearly 60M with mixed reviews, and Passengers hit 100M. When she has another GA friendly movie that has good reviews, it'll gross a good chunk of change.

I wonder if she'll planning to do It's What I Do which was a project Spielberg was going to direct but he has Indy 5 and West Side Story coming up.

Top of my head

 

1. Notorious

2. The Spy Who Came In From The Cold

3. North By Northwest

4. The Manchurian Candidate (1962)

5. 39 Steps

6. Marathon Man

7. Three Days Of The Condor

8. The Fourth Protocol

9. Eye Of The Needle

10. Clear & Present Danger

 

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy  would also be there but the mini series  (and Smiley's People ) 

 

I'd add some Bond and MI movies but they're more action adventure that star a spy than spy movies.

Yeah, Spielberg has too much on his plate. Edgardo Mortara is probably a higher priority as well. Her movie with Adam McKay could be next though; I can see it filming next spring as neither have anything slated after Dark Phoenix and Dick Cheney

I thought draw is counted on the opening weekend....

Which 35+ year old character is she playing for him this time?

Same difference b/w John Wick and thor ragnarok.

 

My initial point is that brand awareness seems to be the only thing most moviegoers care about, so....yeah.

Star Wars, Guardians 2... those are scfi right?

 

Technically...no. They're space operas. There's not even a lick of science or reality to them for the most part.

If Spielberg drops out, WB should seriously consider Clint Eastwood for It's What I Do or if they're willing to wait, maybe Patty Jenkins, I'm sure they'll greenlight her next film after Wonder Woman 2.

...but it's not a Disney fairy-tale movie.  

You've said this before! What is it? Disney movies for children with fantastical elements, based on classic stories all sound like fairy tales to me. And yes I know that also applies to Star Wars/Marvel etc but this is a classic story in the vein of Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty etc

 

I consider something like the Lion King or Aladdin to be a fairy tale too, FWIW.

She seems more interested in working with familiar faces (DOR and Lawrence) versus pulling a Dicaprio and working with every hot director around. Mother! was probably an exception, not a new lease on things. 

[Krissykins]

$10-12.5m would be really solid and an overpeformance for Strangers 2 based on tracking ($6-10m). 

 

Nice. Hopefully it keeps up. 

 

$40m+ is solid for A Wrinkle In Time.

I don't think that's true with the performance of wonder, girls trip, pp3 and all. Movies like red bird, AB are just not geared towards woman as much as these movies. Woman will be more gravitate towards ragnarok even if john wick was a as big brand.
