riczhang Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Me either it's already made its moneyWell I think that MI3D could be considered a bomb simply because they've spent 10 million dollars converting the film into 3D, and countless more promoting it. It could end up losing money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoursTruly Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 LOL @ the people in this thread acting like Jack Reacher had anything but a mediocre opening. Knight and Day called, it wants its box office run back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kowhite Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Well I think that MI3D could be considered a bomb simply because they've spent 10 million dollars converting the film into 3D, and countless more promoting it. It could end up losing money.Well, the promotion yes that's the hurdle they have to get over...on the bright side, the conversion cost is tiny on this. Not even close to $10M. Still could lose money though, P&A is costly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 It is probably more expensive to convert traditional animated films and live action films compared to CG films from recent years like Nemo and Monsters Inc as the animators just have go to the original files and make a few changes.

Ryan Reynolds Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 LOL @ the people in this thread acting like Jack Reacher had anything but a mediocre opening. Knight and Day called, it wants its box office run back. Reacher has less than half the budget and marketing than K&D....so it is doing just fine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teardropmina Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 judging from the trailers and all the "the making of JR" PR programs, Jack Reacher seems to be nothing but a standard, uninspired action flick. I think Tom Cruise is the only reason for its 18-20m opening; it's a standard Cruise opening and I see around Valkyrie US DOM finish. Cruise is still a draw, and more reliable than most A-list stars (if there's any actually these days). I reckon very few stars, all by themselves can take a low budget, generic action movie to this at least decent opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 That's solid for Jack Reacher. This is 40 is a pretty mediocre number. I'm a big fan of Rudd and Apatow and Knocked Up is one of my favorite movies, but I don't even have the urge to run out and go see it. Sad as it is, I think the whole silly 'Mayan 2012' thing is wearing the box office down a bit- at least here in South Florida, there's a ton of parties.

Ball Lightning Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Is the conversion cost less than 10 million? I've always heard that 10 million is about the standard cost for a conversion.Modern CG animation is much less as they don't have to do any painstaking work. Its already in 3D, they just need to change stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
