A Marvel Fanboy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Sure, movie flops in some markets for some different reasons since every thing happens with some reason(s). but that doesnot change the fact that it is disappointing/flopping in these markets, whatever reasons you have.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 How about lets just change the status ? Say Lincoln is doing DU OS numbers while DU is doing Lincoln level OS. What would people say ? "Oh, come on ! DU is a western and it is about pre-civil war liberations, no one in OS would be interested in it. It is bound to do not spectucular OS. Just check True Grift ... You are trolling if you think DU could do 300M OS. Blah blah ... " "Wow, you go Lincoln ! Great movie, great actings. DDL is totally lincolnly. SS is truely a great film maker. It is bound to do gangbusters OS. It deservers every penny it earns OS or DOM... and it will sweep the Oscars. I am happy OS audience also enjoyed it ... Blah blah ... " And now what is happening ? "Oh, fantastic for DU ! It totally deserves it ! Go DU ! Blah Blah“ "Oh, come on ! Lincoln is about civil war policy, no one in OS would be interested in such a movie. ... You are trolling if you think it is disappointing OS. Blah blah ... " Such funny things happen all the time. The truth is people trend to refuse to accept the fact and will always try to spin as they can, finding excuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 In short: Lincoln is not doing as well internationally as DOM, and as a matter of fact its OS performance so far is kinda disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Buddy, you are a LIAR. Lincoln is doing great OS. You can't argue the facts, if you say otherwise that's is a LIE. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndustriousAngel Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 It's doing ok for a Spielberg history drama I'd say, but not exceptionally so. It will end up higher than Munich (I hope), but a lot lower than Schindler's List. Outside the US, Lincoln simply is not that big a figure.

jb007 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 It's doing ok for a Spielberg history drama I'd say, but not exceptionally so. It will end up higher than Munich (I hope), but a lot lower than Schindler's List. Outside the US, Lincoln simply is not that big a figure. It is not just that it is about Lincoln. It focusses only on the last 4 months of his life and is a talky political drama. If the movie were to chronicle his adult life while including battles during that period, it would have attracted more audience support overseas. Optimal overseas audience support or not, Lincoln is still a masterpiece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Lincoln is already doing 1000% better than the films normally in this genre. It will outgross Munich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb007 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Lincoln is already doing 1000% better than the films normally in this genre. It will outgross Munich . No doubt about it. In that way, Lincln's is very impressive for a political drama set in the mid 1800s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Lincoln made $13 million from 3,510 locations in 43 markets for an overseas total of $32.7 million. The Oscar-nominated flick's global cume is now $203.4 million. Stats from Fox, the film's overseas distributor: France leads the charge with $2.8m from 312 screens, while holdovers Italy ($2.2m, down only 22%), the UK ($2.2m, down only 17%), Germany ($919K, up 15%), Spain ($739K, down only 39%), and Brazil ($715K, down only 31%) show great resolve in a competitive marketplace. The international cume stands tall at $32.7m. The campaign expands into 7 markets next weekend, including Australia and Argentina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
