Total Lifetime Grosses

Domestic:	$40,351,215	18.4%
+ Foreign:	$179,185,415	81.6%
= Worldwide:	$219,536,630

 

Don't know if it has markets remaining but looks like 220-225 ww. Under-200 OS is more disappointing to me than the under-50 Dom. Considering China delivered a healthy amount, OS-China was surprisingly weak.

 

But King Arthur has to be the worst performance of the year. Their budgets or not that far apart. And according to Mojo they are nearly the same.

Well... I liked it. This is a very good movie, funny, stunning visual effects, refreshing cast, unique story, pure entertainment. Really amazing. 
Go and see the movie and don't believe the critics.

Valerian has Italy left. Should do $4-5M there. Im thinking a finish around 230M globally.

$230 million is great for an indie and foreign film.

It still did 100m more than the previous really big Europeen indie movie Cloud Atlas (could be forgetting one between those), that is true.

Valerian is a far more mainstream effects driven film.   It's more comparable to Jupiter Ascending regardless of who financed it.  But it's doing better than JA O/S mostly due to France.

I thought Napoleon was half joking with that Indie / foreign movie statement, and I was going a bit with it.

 

Cloud atlas was not made by a studio even if Hanks pushed hard and the directors did invest some of their own money in the movie to be able to get done (mostly German financing), because yes it was a much less mainstream concept.

Even though this is a flop I think King Arthur is a bigger one

Both King Arthur and Monster Truck do feel like bigger flop of the year imo. The promise in some way the biggest I guess (a nearly 100m movie that box office mojo do not even bother to enter is box office correctly and made 10m WW), but barely count because of is financing context, people were not trying to do any money with that movie and Imagine P&A was no where near the other movie we are talking about and could still have loss less money.

King Arthur is definitely the bigger bomb. Most of Valerian's budget was covered by sales to foreign distributors (the China distributor alone paid 50M), so while it isn't a profit generator, Europa didn't lose too much money.
