Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets | July 21, 2017 | FLOP OF THE YEAR

[Cochofles]

I am soooo hyped! 

[lilmac]

If this makes a profit, it will be internationally. 

 

Reminds me of Jupiter Ascending which made 75% of its money overseas. 

 

$135m DOM/$500m WW

I like that. Over 500M should be able to enable a sequel.

And prayerfully, encourage more original movies

 

 

 

 

 

(this film is based on a comic series but few people in the world know about them so.....:)

It would be so nice to see this breakout, but i kinda doubt it. still think UNDER 100M

[marveldcfox]

Edge  of Tomorrow type boxoffice won't shock me....

[MCKillswitch123]

So, my parents - who are literally the most casual audience possible... the type of people who think Pulp Fiction is dull, but 300 is the greatest movie ever made - are totally into watching this (even though they're space movie haters).

 

THIS IS GONNA MAKE 1B OS @That One Guy

A friend of mine watched this....he HATED it. 

 

May not be a movie for everyone. Too much sensory overload can be too much for some.

Not the target audience then I guess.

The hype is real: Valerian between Avengers 3 and Star War 8 !

Apes 3 is just depressing stuff...sigh.

 

Dunkirk is destroying both apes 3 + valerian combined. 250+M here 

[angeldelmito]

New video--5 minutes of footage, plus about 10 minutes of outtakes: video

 

@That One Guy @Telemachos

 

I get the feeling watching it that Luc is trying to recreate the magic of The Fifth Element -- there are a lot of similar elements and has a similar feel to me from what I see.

Because 5th Element came from Valérian and Jean Claude Mézières.

I know, I mean beyond that:

 

Valerian = Dallas

Lauraline = Leeloo

Bubble = Diva Plavalaguna

Herbie Hancock character = Ruby Rhod

 

The scene in the video where Valerian and Lauraline walk down the ramp in civilian clothes feels like the scene where Corbin and Leeloo pick up their tickets at the space port.

The flying bus in the video reminds me of the flying cab scene.

etc.

I have to wait until mid August for this. So annoying.

country?

 

It was supposed to be out on 28th as PVR Pictures (film production and distribution arm of PVR Group, which also owns PVR cinemas, largest multiplex company in India) had seen the film and decided to release on 1000 screen release in 4 languages (English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu). Up until a few weeks ago, biggest online movie booking site in India had this as 28th July release, but now it is no where to be found on their site. Something is up. I am worried I may not get to witness this soon enough..
