Mojoguy Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 If I was DreamWorks I would be worried.Yeah, KFP2 failed to take off. I don't see how this movie can do better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoot Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Ever since DWA broke off from Paramount and has been flirting with going completely with their own financing for everything, I've been pulling for them a bit more. Nobody likes Goliath. Paramount is Goliath here...But I absolutely hate the franchising strategy and am not a fan of them prolonging this much further. I personally hope this fails enough that they decide to end it, but not enough to take the studio down... And right now, they are living from movie-to-movie (see: stock price fluctuations after PiB opened weakly but had a great hold the 2nd weekend).I think $140m Dom (a bit less than $500m WW) is good enough to be considered mediocre and they can move onto their newer projects relatively unscathed.

AniNate Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) People are going to be really sour on Dreamworks once the promotion for this starts getting in gear. Puss and Panda were decent flicks but people do notice when a studio releases three franchise movies in a row and I'm sure they don't like it.

Where would you get that idea? Hell, three out of four can already cause an uproar; three in a row should be unforgivable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Less than 150 M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safari Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) 150M is possible, but this might just miss 100M, which it should. The second one had a good opening, but its legs were weak. (Maybe because it was a holiday release) I don't see this doing any better. Hopefully this will do poorly, and Rise of the Guardians clears 170M and beats KF2 and PIB.And correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the last film in the DWA-Paramount deal, right? So basically after this, DWA is free from Paramount. Will they find a new distributor? Or are they going off on their own?

AniNate Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 It ends at the end of 2012, so I think Rise of the Guardians is the last film in the deal. Last I heard they're considering self-distribution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I heard they're considering self-distribution.Oh, I thought December 2012 was just the deadline and they had to deliver 13 films before that date, with M3 being the last one.

It looks like they are gearing up for it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I can see this doing a tremendous belly flop. Well, more I hope it does, the first one pissed me off for some reason that I STILL don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
