SentryTrans Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 But why would PR, an original film, make so much more than MoS, the newest ironic Superman movie ?? ($40m 5-days is way bigger than $25M 4-days) Superman 6 is a reboot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcclaine Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I think PR is doing OK numbers, nothing extraordinary.And you can't really compare PR numbers with Batman Begins or MOS or anything like that. You can compare PR with Battleship (would't say Transformers because it was a more established brand) OS love the sound of crushing metal, and huge robots and explosions. Any film containing either or all of that is going to do well OS. The question is only how big.Battleship, which didn't even had the fanboys begging to see the film, did over $235M OS. And almost everyone hated the movie and called it the Transformers left overs.So, Pacific Rim doing over $250M OS was almost a duty for me two months ago. As the movie sunk in the US, now $250M OS would sound like a miracle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatMovieGuy Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 the movie has yet to open in Japan, I'm thinking that's going to bring in at least 30 million if not more but I could be wrong, who knows how Japan will feel about a live action hollywood mecha vrs Monsters film. they did create a genre of anime and manga for it, so I hope it does well because I am already looking forward to Pacific Rim 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmpro Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 With China & Japan, it could do more than 250M OSChina and Japan looks like 100 mill atm so 275 mill seems like the target Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcclaine Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 With China & Japan, it could do more than 250M OS I put that mark because u was comparing PR with Battleship. If PR would have been a hit would be talking about crossing the $400M or more, no just $250M.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentryTrans Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 PR could make more than 150m in Aisa! Locked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentryTrans Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 It's not. Jurrasic Park 3D is more anticipated than PR. FF6 is the most one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zackzack Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 looks to reach 370 or so worldwide If it did $380M WW, on paper, WB/Legendary would break even on a $190M production. On paper. There seems to be no lucrative endorsement deals or merchandising tie-ins here. What WB/Leg could have gained before the movie release is pre-sales deals which could be significant. The big success in China is bittersweet: it proves there is a humongous demand for such movie, and the creative team would scream: "Toldja!!!" but only small % goes to WB/Legendary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
