A Marvel Fanboy Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 From the Deadline report:Is Nikki, who normally blasts movies which do not perform to expectations, actually defending a movie? WB payroll, obviously. She`d laugh off a drop this big for any other movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Nikki is fucked in the head if she doesn't recognize that mediocre opening, shit legs, poor reviews, and huge drop in admissions from original LOTR. I'm very disappointed in her.Well, obviously she doesnot want to offend WB. Business goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 flopbit is really flopping. it is a 1 film movie a short amount of content only. studios think they are smarter than audiences? audiences arent stupid to donate profits to film companies. the film, the content has to be good, and it wasnt. the RT score is only 65% and in a strong yr for filmmaking , its not even a top 10 major film critically. looks like barely getting 250m in domestic, and about 580 overseas. total should finish around 840-850million.its combined total budget is around $400m or so incl advertisingFrom its bulbous goblin king to its nearly three-hour running time to its budget — an estimated $400 million, including global marketing costssource for budgethttp://artsbeat.blog...the-box-office/850 * 45% studio average profit = 382million.in summary 400m cost vs 382 profit portion, it doesnt stand to break even on theatrical run. also my worldwide figure of 580m is in the middle upper range.when compared to LOTR inflation adjusted, this is so bad it doesnt merit comparisonthis disappointment does not bode well for the sequel. its sequel goes from being hotly anticipated to just 'meh'. i dont think marketing is a big deal, the content has to be goodwell said.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 So if Jack reacher only made 5.1m on friday does that mean we are only looking at weekend of 16m?Or could be less than 16M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 OK, now I'm a bit concerned. Still think it can outperform IAL in the long run, but suddenly 300m is not going to be as easy as I once thought. I've been saying it was going to underperform compared to the fans lofty expectations since it was announced, but I really thought the legs would be better than a 73% drop on Friday from its OD.

Halba Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) The audience aren't stupid? There are a lot here.well a lot of deserving flops this yr indicate audiences dont view poor content. there are many examples, the worst being john carter. exceptions do occur, the twilight and transformers franchises have imdb ratings less than 6, yet gross quite well overall. this is because they capture the teen market. the hobbit does not capture this mkt.it doesnt help hobbits marketing budget is probably the highest of all films this year, with tdkr and avengers. its advertising is a lot higher than its production cost Edited December 23, 2012 by Halba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sparrow Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 It is pretty sad to see Hobbit bombing this hard but then again following BO for years have made me realize that you can never have any LOCKS. $300m is slipping by the day, plus Skyfall and BD2 both are looking at getting to $300m.

Lordmandeep Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 This was suppose to be the year where TDKR broke all records and won the Summer and TH part 1 recreated the memories of the great LOTR box office runs of days past during the Holidays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
