Does that mean WB will get the state side profit? Because if so, they will make A LOT of money, seeing how the didn't actually pay for the movie, only for the distribution.

If it is a pure distribution deal, it could be like Sony did on The Tourist, GK film made and financed the movie.

 

Sony paid 0 for acquiring it but paid 111.25 on is world distribution (theatrical and home video) and gave 77.61 million to the producer from the 217.83 million they made on the movie, keeping 19.025m in profit.

 

Looking at the number, it look like the deal could have been, distribute our movie, give us 80% of the gross distribution margin (without considering production cost), keep 20% of the distribution margin if they exist.

 

Tourist (in sony territories):

Total revenue: 217.83m

Release expense + overhead + residuals: 121.195m

 

Movie margin (whitout production cost): 96.6m

 

Toward the movie producer: 77.61m (80.3%)

Toward sony: 19.025m (19.7%)

 

In those scenario if releasing the movie cost less than the revenues, you make some money, otherwise you loose some, making the risk rather small but the reward in case of success also pretty limited.

The big money for WB will probably come through HV.

Sony didn't distribute in some markets like the UK so I assume GK Films was able to recoup some if not all the production costs from their deal with Sony and local distributors. Something like Arrival and Silence was the same where Paramount only took US and Canadian distribution.

Britain's best director isn't even a full Brit. he's an Irish-American (Nolan). 

You do realise Bladerunner is a Ridley Scott film......a Brit !

[The Futurist]

A whole British crew acted like assholes when a weird Canadian dude arrived at Pinewood studios in 1985 to shoot the sequel of that Alien flick ...

The canadian took control of that island pretty quickly.

Another Ridley Scott film, can they not come up with their own ideas

[Jonwo]

Think if Fox wants to see the Alien franchise revived, they should hire Denis or another Canadian film maker instead of Ridley!

Would be perfect for Cronenberg tbh but alas that's not the world we live in. 

[The Futurist]

I think Cronenberg has been offered tons of big movies but he refused them all.

Use Gareth Edwards.

Can this movie give me the fee fees I had when I saw The Matrix and FOTR the first time in theaters?

Villeneuve is going to direct Bond, Cleopatra, Alien, Dune, and Star Wars after this, all at the same time. The 2019 Oscar nominees are just going to be five Denis Villeneuves.

[Ozymandias]

I knew this movie gonna be good at the very least when Denis Villeneuve signed on after reading the script along with bringing his buddy Roger Deakins along.  Glad its apparently really, really good.  

 

This movie is long as fuck and I'm gonna be seeing it on Thursday night next week at 7 when I gotta get up at 2:30am the next morning for da jerb. lul.

Just need to cross off Donald and replace with C.Nolan and Hillary with P. Jenkins

[somebody85]

Holy shit at that score. I haven't seen the RT, Average Score and Metacritic that high for an action/sci-fi film with so many reviews in since TFA and Mad Max: Fury Road.

I refuse to even look at the excerpts but saw the Top Critics was 100%...that's enough for me. I refuse to read or watch a single review for this before seeing it.

I'm sure it will drop some but I can't see it leaving the 90s at this point.

The Shay can hereby GUARANTEE to all interested parties that the francophone director should be the LAST to thank if this turns out good.

 

It would be the writing, the setting, the actors, THE LEGEND that is Blade Runner - that all make this good.

 

What the Shay expects from Monsieur Villeneuve (guy sounds like a Bond villain, doesn't he) - is just to not fuck things up (too much).

I strongly disagree. Ridley Scott - Prometheus, Alien: Covenant

This is doing $50M+ OW. And, probably something like $175M+ DOM. Just my two cents. People are ready. They want it. It will play better than Mad Max.

That's what I'm thinking as well. The visuals from the trailers are going to get a lot into the theaters alone. Gosling will draw the girls too.

I forgot about it immediately after, it had no emotional impact whatsoever. I don't get the critical praise or the 94 MTC score, I just don't understand...

Not me. The aerial set pieces along with that score were mesmerizing. It was incredible in that Dolby 5.1 Atmosphere theater. 

The only thing I can't really remember from it were the character names but they weren't said a whole lot.
