Halba Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Oblivion, Super 8, Battle LA and Looper all did well, Pacific Rim has a bigger budget than any of those so it needs to make more. I also see you left out Inception from your list. Battleship numbers are only bad if you have a super high budget, if you don't and get 200M+ then you are doing well. inception and PR dont belong in same sentence or in a discussion. inception has a brand of its own - nolan who has the following of at least many millions Edited July 11, 2013 by Halba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 inception and PR dont belong in same sentence or in a discussion. inception has a brand of its own - nolan who has the following of at least many millions It's easy to say that now but the time of its release, Nolan only had one film that made really big numbers, and that film was part of a big superhero franchise. Inception breaking out the way that it did and making more than TDK was not some sure thing. until Inception none of Nolan's original films came near 100M. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bflemmings Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 ok so i guess we'll believe you and not the studios... i don't think i've ever read anywhere that the budget was any higher than 200M. del toro himself said multiple times how they finished under budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always leaves out things that will hurt his argument. His response to Inception is large scale director. Edited July 11, 2013 by Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
