ChD Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I do wonder something... When you make a prediction, do you bother checking for Marketing Info about the movie (If it has any), trailers (to see quality) or Reviews? That really could affect a movie performance at box office... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I only check if it's 3D, reviews, and competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 That makes the Marketing Info thread pretty useless, doesn't it? :-SI mean, movies without a post at Marketing Info should be considered movies without any marketing at all (Nearly) and therefore should rather flop than make a profit...

You shouldn't be punished if you don't feel like participating.Marketing, trailers, and posters have rarely (if ever) affected the Box Office Actuals/Predictions in this game. That might make them useless, but we do them because it's fun not because we're trying to actually market our films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 Never an original film would kill off a finale to a successfull franchise. NEVER Front-loaded interest, I suppose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 You're talking about the Shaggy doc? That would do less than Psy: Sorry for Gangnam Styling. Now due to your move both Red Pyramid and Hindenburg will clear 200m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Creator Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Don't worry folks about Cameron vs a franchise battle, Hindenburg will take the crown lol I would say Next Dimension had a shot also at being one of the biggest of the year (and it should still) but it's not likely to be the biggest, although it could hit 300m+. So I'd say the biggies this year: The Next Dimension Hindenburg StarCraft Spellforce Dawn of Oblivion One of those will be number 1. Obviously Dawn of Oblivion.

SilverShark Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Front-loaded interest, I suppose?Well maybe it will be more frontloaded but it wouldnt drop off 90 million from the previous one. Again, its the finale and its the first in 3D of this series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) I have to read Next Dimension. To be frank I make my predictions based on the premise and I always edit them after reading all the films. It takes time to read all the films, that's why I post premature predictions first. Normally there's only a few films that changes radically from what I originally thought. Edited November 15, 2012 by Alfred Unchained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 A note I wanted to make: Even if you don't read it, I want to make sure you guys know Fault in Our Stars is very similar to a Nicolas Sparks novel. It's a very popular book at my school, and I think predictions on it are a bit low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
