redfirebird2008 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 If that whisper budget for MIB3 is anywhere close to being right then Sony's in trouble even with a $20m OD.Whisper budget? How high is that? Wiki page says $215m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Okay we got Nikki's numbers. Her numbers 18-20 is right there with Variety's 19.5.She has 9.5 for Avengers. I guess we'll just have to see who's closer in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 He posted a little early. Night business on the west coast was still underway.Rth generally has a way better understanding of where things sit hours before she does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) Whisper budget? How high is that? Wiki page says $215m.Nikki's article says rival studios peg the actual budget at around $300m, whereas Sony claims the original shooting budget of $215m never changed.

blackspider Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I think Nikki is going to update again. It said refined numbers will be posted later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcalcagn Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 If that whisper budget for MIB3 is anywhere close to being right then Sony's in trouble even with a $20m OD.Which would actually be a first for Sony; for the past few years, Sony's been able to be a model of efficiency: controlling the budgets to $100M or below and guaranteeing themselves a profit. But then again you didn't have to deal with a film that DIDN'T HAVE A DANG SCRIPT DONE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayumanggi Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) But rival studios tell me that “despite great tracking internationally, their midweek openings in Australia, France, Korea, and Germany are mostly behind Battleship or John Carter. Weird.” Those are two comps which no studio wants to hear in the same sentence with its summer blockbuster.

blackspider Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Rth generally has a way better understanding of where things sit hours before she does.He does, but Rth overestimated TA's Friday last week and Nikki hit it dead on. I agree that Rth is the more reliable source, but he did post well before her, which means there's more room for error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZattMurdock Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Whisper budget? How high is that? Wiki page says $215m.VERY high. They went bonkers with the reshoots and rewritings and delays of this one. The rumored budget is close to $300m, $285m if memory serves me well, way bigger than The Avengers. And we're not talking about marketing here.

rcalcagn Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I hope this year serves as the beginning of the end for films that have NO REASON to be $200M+/$250M+. Not everything's going to be Avatar y'all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyky Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 why the hell are they comparing it to MI:GP? that had a much smaller budget. i doubt this will do that well is Asia. it will probably do better in latin america tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
