Elessar Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Still, if it can manage $550m worldwide then it should end up a decent enough success.It's much more than decent.I doubt it's making $400m OS, more like $300m or close to that. $400m WW would be decent.

I don't see it getting anywhere near that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmpro Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 $400m overseas? LOL.Agree. Thats too much..But 300 mill should happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitcher Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 400M WW would definitely be good for Prom. I mean come on, making 3 times its budget is nothing to scoff at. Also, RTX made a fairly good point that most SH movies tend to be frontloaded, so assuming in advance this will behave like Watchmen when we don't even have a Saturday number seems like a knee-jerk reaction to me.

ecstasy Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I wasn't really expecting much more than 150M, so that is good for me. I just want the sequel.I always thought 50/150 would be good for Prometheus. It's not everyone's cup of tea. There are people who won't even consider it. If the budget is where they said then that's fine. So I am in agreement with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTX Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 $400m overseas? LOL.Yes. Overseas openings have been very strong: 50% of Avengers OW in most places, and that flick will approach 900M OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 IMO, Inception is a horrible movie to compare Prometheus to. X-Men First Class is a better comparison, Similar release date...similar fanboy rush. Hell, it basically had an identical Midnights/Friday. If Prometh is flat on Saturday, then I'll be wrong. But if it drops 8-10% then XFC is the movie to look at.At least for this weekend anyway. 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 What do you predict then?At the start of summer I predicted something like $700m worldwide. That was predicated on it being a really good movie, of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 400M WW would definitely be good for Prom. I mean come on, making 3 times its budget is nothing to scoff at.Indeed.Some people are trying to downplay it. It would be more than what Star Trek made, with a lower budget (yeah, i know, studios get less from OS grosses, still). 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) I think the positive response + the frontloading cancel each other out in a comparison with Prometheus. For the sake of my summer game, I hope so. I really don't know though. At least X-Men had an under-18 friendly rating. Prometheus has to rely mostly on pickier adults adult men.

Prometheus has to rely mostly on pickier adults adult men. Yeah...I had 185m for this, so I need it to sprout legs to at least 165. Still, even in that case, XFC is a better comparison film than a film that made nearly 300m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
