"the fanboys will see the movie and they will love it, dammit!" sounded like you weren't happy with that happening

if it's as bad as OUATIH which is getting raves despite being awful, i will not be happy. But Nolan i think will deliver some goods

I don't think we can rule out Tenet being successful, a Nolan spy thriller sounds more appealing than a Nolan war film.

Good lord you need to get laid. Ain't no way a woman who has felt the touch of a man (or a lady, I ain't gon' discriminate) would throw this big a hissy fit over people liking a Tarantoenail movie.

After this past weekend, Armie Hammer for the lead in the next Tarantino movie!

Urgh. 

 

Slightly hypocritical posting on a box office forum but at the same time taking part in one of the businesses biggest threats.

Absolute joke. 

 

No offence but I’ve got no time for people on our box office forum pirating movies that have just come out. At the very least don’t admit it - Christ.

I apologize if this has already been posted, but I didn't see it until this morning. I knew OUaTiH was an expensive movie but if these numbers to break even are accurate I just can't see it being profitable for Sony. If it has the same breakdown as Django it is probably looking at roughly a 320M WW gross. (I'm assuming about a 110M DOM). it has an audience score that still hasn't stabilized - now down to 72% verified and 71% all and has a definite recommend of only 58% and a highly male skewing audience. That all screams frontloading is likely.

Just like Tarantino’s Hollywood is a throwback pic, so is its financial structure, we hear from sources, with 30% of the first dollar gross going to the filmmaker, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Brad Pitt in a first dollar pool. We hear that first dollar gross is typical on a Tarantino pic, and that between Inglourious Basterdsand The Hateful Eight, he made around $75M between fees and profits. Typically, on a big star-driven tentpole like a Dwayne Johnson movie, profit is dispensed at a percent of cash break-even. We understand that in order for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood to break-even, it has to make just north of $400M at the worldwide B.O., just under the $425.3M that Django Unchained grossed (38% of that came from U.S./Canada, where the feature made $162.8M, still his highest- grossing movie).

 

 

Reporting about this have been a bit all over the place, that show how much the rumors of 25% first dollar going to Quentin were quite something (30% would be a big amount of point, so 25% going to a single entity for that kind of assemble movie would have been quite the madness)

 

A 30% pool for everybody do make much more sense (a bit like a Transformer movie back in the day), but Rothman in a interview said there was no first dollar point on this and that would be a strange lie to make.

 

That break-even figure sound absolutely ridiculous to , Django Unchained had a very similar cost structure and $100 million of profits was made from it despite around 30% going in bonus.

 

If you need over $400M to break even, when do you get an interesting return (considering how much of the profit is shared) at $530-550M.... if not 600-700M ? For a movie like that !?
