Godzilla Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Close to 375. So it's doing well. 600 total might be tough but it does have some late release dates in the summer.Maybe they can somehow censor out Tibet for a Chinese release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 WWZ success is great for the zombie genre. Hopefully Hollywood can produce more quality zombie films. All they need to do is manage production costs and the cash will follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackzack Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) WWZ success is great for the zombie genre. Hopefully Hollywood can produce more quality zombie films. All they need to do is manage production costs and the cash will follow. I think the success of this movie is beyond the fact that it is a zombie movie, or any other specific genre. Those swarming scenes shot in a realistic world gives the audience something edgy, contemporary and genuinely frightening. One look at the Jerusalem scene from the trailer is enough to drive curious folks out of the comfort of their PG rated TV shows. My only criticism is the lack of any real story. The movie is just one long chase. And other than the intense siege in the Middle East, the movie is lacking in other stand-out scenes. I am excited by what the makers would come up with in the sequel. Edited July 7, 2013 by zackzack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I just think this looked like a disaster film and people love end of the world disaster films. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerem4502 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 WWZ release Wednesday in France. 7,8 million isn't bad. But 450K admissions wednesday was with previews and wednesday was "la fête du cinéma" so great day, but the others days are bad for the box office, because the sun is coming and it was long overdue. The people enjoy and do not really go to the movies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zackzack Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 There is a strong possibility this one will break out in Japan, $40M is not out of reach, judging from past disaster movies. Spain will give a strong number too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halba Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Any ideas on whether this will turn a profit in its theatre run? budget is $190m, and add large global marketing campaign. Its revenues look like topping out at 520m. looks like break even. i wouldn't call this a 'hit' Edited July 10, 2013 by Halba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
