Will there ever be a BILLION DOLLAR R-rated Film??? - JOKER DOES IT!!!!

[fishstick]

Why would Elysium of all movies make $1 billion?

[Bitcher]

Maybe they're about to reveal that Neil Blomkamp is just a pseudonym for Jimmy C.?To be frank, I wouldn't be surprised if Elysium barely made more money than D9, if at all. Although that would of course depend on multiple factors.

I agree.Also, geeks should open their mind to non-geek posisbilities of grossing $1 billion. After all, first one was an old-fashioned melodrama. So I say 50 Shades will do the trick for R. Estogen factor will create unprescended OW and men will check it out for nudity.

50 Shades of Grey what is that? I know its a book, but really 1BWW. Has the R been confirmed will probably water down to PG-13. Is there an audience OS for this? It will need to make 65% of its total OS at least to make 1B+ No way is it touching HG DOM.If R will likely do 450M WW tops. Would have to be 3D to do it and would the studio film in 3D because post conversion won't cut it.

Hard to say right now with a lot of movies without ratings.

[Jack Nevada]

50 Shades of Gray has no chance of making 1B.. 400M tops. Plus based on the content of the book I would suspect it woud get an NC-17 rating.

They can easily tone it down to R. Though, it would be awesome if it were NC-17 because I've wanted Showgirls to go down for some time. It's had the record since like 1995!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

50 Shades can`t be PG-13. Absolutely imposisble. It was S/M, explatives, tampon scene. Readers want to see graphic shit.It broke HP sales record in UK so, yeha, there`s OS audience, pretty much everyone who wants to see twilight porn (which 50 Shades is only different names and no vampires). Should do gangbusters biz in japan cause they love weird erotica. I mean, tampon scene!

I cant believe they're making a mainstream movie out of 50 Shades of Gray. Its some deplorable, nasty-ass shit. Just make a porno while you're at it.

Look at how well Magic Mike is doing. This will be a zillion times bigger than that.

They can`t make a porno because porno is about fucking harder. 50 Shades is about this OMG dmaaged guy who fucks hard since he was a tween and than he makes money so he buys women to be his submissives whom he fucks hard and than this dumb virgin applies for the next submissive and he falls in love right away cause she is so endearingly clumsy and virginal and decides to make love to her which is the first time for him ever to make love and not fuck hard. And now before I get a warning for swearing, lay off cause it`s from the book.

[Chewy]

I opened this thread fully expecting you guys to be talking about 50 Shades :lol: I hope it makes a bill, it will be super controversial and there will be meltdowns galore

[Jack Nevada]

They cant possibly get away with all the debauchery and still get an R rating. They have to tone down the sex significantly.

It`s the love-making to a virgin that makes it anti-porn, says on the book cover, a blurb from a critic. Edited July 6, 2012 by fishnets

50 Shades of Grey's pornographic tone doesn't bother me as much as its disastrous prose and shallow subject material. It is nothing more than toilet paper.

Thats deep yo.

This is both the dumbest and funniest thing I've ever read on these forums.

I'd rather get down to some Jenna Jameson.

I wonder how they'll adapt this scene:

So you don't know what this book is about but it doesn't stop you from talking about its potential gross, rating and 3D potential?What is this I don't even...And yeah, I've read quite a bit about 50 Shades of Gray (didn't touch the the actual novel, just some articles) and let me tell you, if the adaptation makes anything in the vicinity of a billion dollars, I'll be here melting down harder than the reactor in Chernobyl.
