Elessar Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) I'd say the disappointment is a byproduct of the fact that it will inevitably sink like a rock starting today.Or not.(well, it'll most likely drop today since it had good midnights; what it'll do in the long run is up in the air) Edited June 9, 2012 by Elessar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted June 9, 2012 Founder / Operator Share Posted June 9, 2012 Or not.(well, it'll most likely drop today since it had good midnights; what it'll do in the long run is up in the air)Its not *that* up in the air. I'm not saying its gonna fail to reach $100 million or anything like that. But its not looking like it will do very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishMB Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Regardless of what you are told, Prometheus is a film you have to see for yourself before you make a decision on it. I hope audiences don't go running away thinking its 'inherently bad' when it's not. It's just highly subjectional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly wouldn't tell anyone to avoid it like the plague, whereas I did with something like Battleship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTX Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) PROMETHEUS75% Flixsters7.8 imdbGREEN LANTERN47% Flixsters5.9 imdbIt's silly to compare Prometheus to Watchmen or GL. Comic book flicks are niche and very frontloaded by their nature. Only the best of them manage to hit 3x multiplier. Prometheus could potentially do much better than that.

CloneWars Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 When a film like Prometheus gets WOM so split with people praising it our outright hating it, this is usually the sign of a movie that will someday become a classic. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its not looking like it will do very well.There are no signs of bad wom, it is mixed. Reviews are good. It could very well do $150m, which would be good for the type of movie it is.

JackO Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 There goes my theory that there will be 3 June 200M grossers. We will be lucky to just have 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people might decide to check it out just to form an their own opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 $150m with 3D isn't good. It's borderline decent. Yes, even for a sci-fi R rated film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted June 9, 2012 Founder / Operator Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) 150M DOM + 400M OS will make it big hit, considering the budget was only 130M.That's not including marketing. The final budget is definitely north of $150 million.If it could manage $550m worldwide then it should end up a decent enough success. Don't see that happening though.
