The Warner Bros. Thread | Will NOT merge with Paramount...capitalism is still terrible

WB has 4 movies in 5 weeks and no movies in November.

That's why I'm expecting it's for GRAVITY. WB is one studio that doesn't care if they schedule a movie late. They are bullies.

[kayumanggi]

They don't have to move it today, could move it in 3 months. Could be a placeholder for Gravity or for a move.

Why use a placeholder? If they want GRAVITY there, they will schedule it without using another film as a placeholder.

[kayumanggi]

THE HANGOVER lll wouldn't work in August.

[Neo]

No more movie over Memorial Day, What do you mean? The Hangover could move to August fine. The Millers could work in November. Nothing is final I know.

May 31: BOA

August 9: THIII

November 22: We're the Millers

^Would go like that.

Why not?

[kayumanggi]

Why not?

WB needs a big May film. This has been their style for a long time. THE GREAT GATSBY isn't that film. Plus why move when the last two films in the franchise did very well in May. Remember that overseas scheduling is important too.

What about post memorial day for BOA

That would work, giving a week from F6.

First one was in June.Gatsby and 300 for MayMoS for JunePacific Rim and The Conjuring for JulyThe Hangover III for August Edited October 11, 2012 by Neo

BOA going against Fast Six is suicide, and November 15 is open.

Could do TBL numbers which wouldn't be bad. Would look bad against F6 but WB wouldn't mind then greenlight a sequel.EDIT: From the above post a May 31 would be better. Edited October 11, 2012 by Neo

[kayumanggi]

Wait, what is BOA?

[kayumanggi]

First one was in June.

Early June. Closer to the current date of the third film.

[kayumanggi]

They're big May films always bomb, summer 2013 is getting really crowded.

They want to change that. They scheduled GODZILLA for May 2014.

[Neo]

Wait, what is BOA?

Still calling it that, BOA = 300: Rise of an Empire.

[Neo]

They want to change that. They scheduled GODZILLA for May 2014.

Godzilla doesn't equal success. A franchise movie does. I have no doubt Godzilla will turn a profit but still not the July blockbuster type.

]There's no reason for this to open opposite F6

Didn't you see the edit?

It doesn't need to make 300 M or 400 M.

[Neo]

It doesn't need to make 300 M or 400 M.

If the budget is 150-200M it does.

[The Toymaker]

Wonder if they'll re-release The Polar Express again this year.

[kayumanggi]

If the budget is 150-200M it does.

Well it's not just gonna be shown in N. America.

[Neo]

Well it's not just gonna be shown in N. America.

And? I know the budget will likely be that high so it will need to make 300M-400M WW for WB to be happy.
