Good work Fake

[Fake]

Took me a total of 30 seconds.

[Fake]

TTM and JER are epic bombs in NA but thanks to OS, they will end up with respectable totals.

[Gopher]

Immortals and J&J will drop more than a million each in actuals. That's about as strongly as J. Edgar could have opened. I think from here on out I'll wait for reviews before considering Eastwood movies for BP nominations.

Meh, people have been saying that for the last four years.

In Relativity Media’s biggest win to date, the 3D action-epic Immortals topped the domestic box office with a $32 million opening, while grossing another $36 million overseas for an estimated worldwide bow of $68 million.

[Fake]

66% of gross came from 3D.

That is excellent

PIB just keeps on trucking along.

[snitch]

What's Jack and Jill's budget? It shouldn't be more than 70 mln.

It's 80M, or around that ballpark.

[narniadis]

Solid weekend

[snitch]

Just checked, it seems all Sandler movies of late are with 80m budget.

[Mayhem2x3]

PIB looking great!

OS saves movies once again...

To the best of my knowledge, it's because Sandler gets 25 mill per film, that's for producing and starring in the film.

[Incarnadine]

So, is a 14k average on 19 screens a decent number for Melancholia? I'm hoping it gets an expansion next week so I can see it here.

I'm not picking on you cjohn, but what exactly does this mean? Overseas is just another market. It didn't "save" the film. Movies make money everyhwere, not just NA.

He receives that much? Well, his movies always open with good results... he is one of the few people with true star power in Hollywood.

That movies tend to do much more internationally than domestically. Just that.There are so many recent examples of movies that bomb in America but do lots of money in Europe, Australia and Asia. Edited November 13, 2011 by CJohn
