Fake Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I suppose so... we even had France OD reported in the forum.Well 3x multiplier from here will take it to 230m, which shouldn't be very difficult. With holidays coming, it may reach 250m from current markets.With around 225m from domestic, it would be upto China to take it to 500m WW mark.

Halba Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) china gross studios only get 25% profit so i always try to exclude china where i can so overall OZ great and powerful has been disappointing it has $325M production and marketing budget. worldwide final gross ex china will be around $460-470 m or so. poor overall. most big budget films you want to see 2x production and marketing budget. e.g. transformers ones gross around $1bn ish on around $300m combined budgets which is good.

TimmyRiggins Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 It'll probably make a profit with all the merchandising and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible! The goalposts have been moved even further!!! first it was the film must make 2X the production budget WW, then it became 2X the production + marketing WW, and now it's 2X production + marketing WW excluding China. Whats next? Exclude Russia? add the salaries of the studio executives? How long before Avatar becomes a flop? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zackzack Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 They try to replicate ALICE IN WONDERLAND magic & so far Disney has not succeeded... What is it about ALICE? Johnny Depp is hit or miss as a movie star. The 3D is nothing new. Right time to release? A little darker than OZ perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm thinking Depp and Burton were the biggest reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be just the general BO malaise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Oz should be compared to John Carter internationally and not Alice. John Carter had $126m OS after 2nd weekend. So $250m is still the target for Oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long before Avatar becomes a flop? its obvious that this has been less than successful film. i am not saying its a financial disaster or major flop. but its a mild flop/no profit scenario for the studio. you cant deny this.. there will NOT be a sequel. in the USA it is already tanking. there is no interest for this film. any big budget film doing John carter type numbers internationally is a bit of a flop isn't it?

IndustriousAngel Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 No, I think it's successfull enough to warrant a sequel. You can't compare this to John Carter as it is: - very strong in its home market - a nice asset for theme parks and tv networks - plus it will probably do better on DVD/BD This is a very US-centric film, same as baseball films, US history films (no, Lincoln did not set the BO on fire in Europe) and most superhero films. While I suppose Disney were after a bigger chunk of the OS market, they don't really need it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
