baumer Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Sometimes we all think we are so smart hete on these forums. we all laughed at Paramount for putting Flight in such a low theatre count. We said they were stupid and so on. Turns out they knew something we didnt. Flights gross will make headlines now and the WOM is going to be very solid. Because of wom abd a high theater average it should now expand into more theaters next weekend. It looks like this kind of release is going to pay off for them co.ngratulations Paramount 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tell you, this was a lucky shot. They didn't know for sure if this would suceed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickvD Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I know it's Disney But I guess they have a dedicated studio for animated movies!They've been around for a while.http://www.disneyanimation.com/aboutus/history.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 It shows they had confidence in it though. They created demand for it and like Argo this is a very adult themed movie that will rely on wom to get butts in the seats. They took an old school approach to releasing it and it worked.

Krissykins Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I disagree, If they wanted to build up and they knew WOM would be great, they would have released it in a much lower count.1,900 seems to me that they weren't sure if it was A) Good enough to rely solely on WOM and expand throughout the season and They didn't think it would do well enough for 3,000 release.I think it was possible damage limitation, but now it's paid off.1,900 never screams confidence. 190 would have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 That makes no sense. This isnt a liw budget art house film. The 1900 theatets is low and it did create a demand for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Stupid Paramount. They dont know what they have got. That is the truth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 What I got out of that theater count was that Paramount wasn't sure if there'd be a demand. To put it more bluntly, I thought they were ready to dump it - just like WB dumped Cloud Atlas. I highly doubt Flight's PTA would have been worse in 2500 theaters, so why didn't Paramount go for that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayumanggi Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I think most predictions for FLIGHT are closer to Nikki's numbers compared to people's predictions for WRECK-IT RALPH and Nikki's figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 What will be Flight's total?Even if it doesn't expand further and follows, say, American Gangster's multiplier, it'll still do $70m at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
