The Dark Alfred Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) That's an awful opening. Way behind Oblivion and it had a summer advantage. It will be lucky to get 150m OS and 220m WW, which means that it's a guaranteed money loss for the studio. Tom Cruise wins this round over Smith.

Heretic Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 It will do (at least) $260M WW, doubling its PB. IT IS NOT A FLOP/BOM If AE is, the so is STID ! OMG. Firedeep called something not a bomb! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 Which ones? Australia and Japan are the only ones worth mentioning left. Also China. Here alone probably will get 50M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 Star Trek will end with almost 500M WW. On a 190M budget. AE will end with 200M WW in a 135M budget. It is a flop. AE will fly past 200M WW, more like 260M WW, doubling PB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 If you knew anything about box office you would have said that. It's marketing cost wouldn't make even 260m profitable, not to mention that it won't even get close to that number. The toxic WoM spread around the globe, expect colossal drops next weekend. 65% minimum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 As long as a movie's WW box office doubles its PB, it will be profitbale eventually. That is what people say. Neo even says 400M WW for Pacific Rim will be enough for a sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo even says 400M WW for Pacific Rim will be enough for a sequel. No offense to either of you, but Neo is the exact opposite of you, way too optimistic about every movie he supports. Both sides are not very realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 The Will Smith-Jaden Smith sci-fi After Earth delivered a decent if not spectacular result, given that it was activein more than 60 markets. The early running total climbed to $48.6m including last weekend’s launch in South Korea. Sony Pictures International Releasing sources said the overall launch was bigger than debuts in the same territories of Oblivion ($45.1m), The Last Airbender($42.7m) and Jaden Smith vehicle The Karate Kid($32.3m). A ribbon of number one releases was led by Russia on $8.5m, Mexico on $5.3m, France on $4m and the UK on $3.5m. Italy generated $2.2m, Brazil $2.1m, Malaysia a terrific $2m, Germany $1.9m, Indonesia $1.6m and Taiwan $1.3m. Tucked in behind After Earth by the most slender of margins was Universal Pictures International’s global smash Fast & Furious 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) Oblivion final 200M+ The Last Airbender final 187M You would not think AE wont even have TLA legs. (TLA bombed here, while AE has $50m potential here). I dont know why some people think 200M OS for AE is impossible (pending just 140M). It is clearly heading to that mark, without much problem. DOM Batteship 65M JC 73M AE (70M) OS Batteship 237M JC 209M AE (200M+ is highly likely), similar to Oblivion Budget Batteship 209M JC 250M AE 130M It is doing fine. People just hate AE and just want it to fail. Luckily OS saves it. Edited June 9, 2013 by firedeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
