A Marvel Fanboy Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 This weekend, Sony launched “After Earth” in only one territory, South Korea, where the film grossed $2.7 million. That’s 10% better than “Prometheus” locally, but still behind “Oblivion,” which earned nearly twice that earlier this month. While “After Earth” overperformed “Prometheus” in South Korea, the latter pic benefited from a cult-like word-of-mouth, with boffo results in places like the U.K.,where it grossed nearly $40 million. “Prometheus” topped out at $276 million internationally, with just north of $400 million worldwide. “After Earth” will need to make at least that with a $100 million-plus budget and tens of millions of dollars spent on global marketing. “Prometheus” reached $126 million domestically; “After Earth” will be lucky to make $75 million at home. Instead of a worldwide blowout this weekend, which helps publicity matters, Sony will bow “After Earth” in 60 overseas markets next weekend. The dearth of day-and-date debuts was the consequence of Sony’s decision to bump up the pic’s Stateside bow one week. The week-long gap between domestic and overseas wouldn’t have meant much had the film worked domestically. Yet, word of the film’s Stateside belly flop could hurt its chances next weekend overseas. Universal, on the other hand, went the opposite direction with “Oblivion,” launching the Tom Cruise starrer internationally a week before its domestic debut. That film never took off enough — either domestically or abroad — to recoup its $120 million budget and worldwide marketing costs. “Oblivion” launched in Japan this weekend (its second-to-last territory), lifting the pic’s worldwide tally to just $274.6 million. Like Cruise with “Oblivion,” Sony banks on the overseas cache of its “After Earth” star Will Smith. It’s hard to say whether Smith will be enough to carry the film, however. His last film, “Men in Black 3,” scored with $445 million internationally, though the one before, “Seven Pounds,” earned just $98 million in 2008. “After Earth” faces tough competition over the coming weeks from pictures including “Man of Steel,” “World War Z” and “The Lone Ranger,” as well as holdovers continuing to roll out internationally. http://variety.com/2013/film/news/survival-mode-after-earth-looks-abroad-1200491132/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Oblivion did only 185M so far. I see 150M for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catlover Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) I think it will disappoint here. After Earth has less screen count than Now You See Me. That's really surprising and it's a bad sign. Usually movies with action and lots of special effects get the most screen count because we just love that kind of movies. Especially if they have big names as the lead actors. But the fact that NYSM, an unusual movie with less popular actors has more screens, shows that there's no interest and confidence in AE from the beginning. Maybe the screen count will increase on Friday, but judging from the quality if the movie, I'm not so sure about that.
