Incarnadine Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Finsihing with a bit over double your production cost at the domestic box office is most certainly a hit. The gross doesn't matter, the gross compared to the investment does. So I guess we can start calling Movie 43 a smashing success? 6 mil budget and should be around 24 mil ww after the weekend (was $23,060,314 as of Feb.14). Success and failure seems pretty subjective for most movies, only a very few are really clear cut these days. In most cases 4x the budget ww (and still counting) would probably be considered a success, but I don't think many people here would be willing to say that about M 43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Liam Neeson's The Grey did $51m and somebody named that a hit... That movie SUCKED big time and bomb at the BO making just $77m WW. So no, it wasn't a hit. Taken 2. Alright. Many people masturbating with its gross. It was fantastic. However, i would like to see how much could gross Taken 5, 25 years later the first one. Sorry, my bad, Neeson would be dead at that point. AGDTDH is not doing as good as it should, and for sure, the movie sucks. Fine. What's the problem? You are wrong if you think this is going to be the end of Willis career, because he never rely entirely on blockbusters to build his career.When Die Hard With A Vengeance was the Top Grossing Film WW in 1995, he made Twelve Monkeys. Again, after Armageddon (another Top Grossing film worldwide, in 1998) he didn't rely on that, and made The Sixth Sense. Last year he did Looper and Moonrise Kingdom. So, is far, far away from finished. And all the Melissa McCarthy is movie star is a joke. Let's talk about her in 10 years, alright? I wanna see how she does.Nothing against her, just a reality. She was a supporting cast in a blockbuster, great. Now is doing fine, in a little movie. Great! What else? That's a movie star? Is that easy? Please.Why does it matter what McCarthy does in ten years? She is the IT girl now, that makes her a star. Careers are fleeting. You strike while the iron is hot. Remember when Christian Slater was the next Jack Nicholson after Heathers? Remember when Katherine Heigl was the next Meg Ryan after Knocked Up? Not many have longevity like Nicholson or Cruise or Washington or Streep. McCarthy is a huge star right now and IT proves it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
