Aplandg Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Does anyone think this will be successful? I can't see it being bigger than Exodus. Although, I do root for Lionsgate's success in becoming a major studio. Even if their recent marketing endeavors have left me a bit cold ahem*MJ2*ahem.

As long as they don't screw up the marketing ala Insurgent and MJ1, I think Gods of Egypt could do well, insurgent numbers DOM and a little better OS.

TLK Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 They never spend a lot of money on marketing. Their exposure on this $100 million+ movie is supposed to be in the $10 million range so basically they will be promoting a $10 million movie. Why would you spend $60-70 million worth of advertising on a $10 million movie ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But technically Lionsgate is a major studio evening knowing it still has its small indie roots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bapi Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 It's in post-production since last summer but Lionsgate didn't show anything at comic con. Very, very dissapointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macleod Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) I have faith in Proyas. His films are always interesting. Was just about to say the same thing. I'm a big fan of his work, having spent a significant amount of time writing about it for a thesis. But this is Lionsgate, right? Never a good sign... by the way...anyone think Lionsgate is actually worse off without Carl Icahn around??

Ethan Hunt Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I have faith in Proyas. His films are always interesting. I'very never seem a Proyas film that I disliked, but I've never seen a Proyas film that I loved. *shrug * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shocked that Proyas could have made a film so damn bland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What actually happened was that an existing script for a cliched sci-fi action film was turned into an "adaptation" of Asimov.

grim22 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Just now, CJohn said: They are getting 60-70M for every Divergent movie. Not sure how. I can understand for the first 2 - the first one was supposed to be the next big thing and was promoted as such before it earned 120M OS. For the second one they got distributors by saying "We have added 3D and markets are expanding", and despite the addition of 3D and expanding markets, it only made 150M OS. Maybe they sold the 3rd and 4th movies as a package deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
