Glad Kingsman was a success and I’ve got a weird curiousity to see Geostorm. I like disaster movies though so maybe that’s it.
China might save it in the end, but that budget with that opening domestically.....ouch. I mean have disaster movies even been a thing people care about since the early 2000's?
By Pastry Go To PostGlad Kingsman was a success and I’ve got a weird curiousity to see Geostorm. I like disaster movies though so maybe that’s it.I always had a weird feeling the movie was gonna bomb, glad I was wrong
Tyler Perry is continuing to pocket some hard cash, by only using $10 of the million dollar budget on Boo 2! A Madea Halloween

Well San Andreas did pretty damn well, especially overseas, for itself but disaster movies certainly aren't what they used to be in terms of public perception.
I didn't even know that there was another Madea movie out.
And poor Blade Runner. Tho I am happy that this means there won't be a sequel anytime soon.

What was the last time Butler was the lead in a successful movie?

Yeah, the difference in star power is clear between the two. As for Butler...London Has Fallen was a success in a sense. Certainly made more than the production budget.

i remember when I use to follow Box Office Mojo religiously.
All I cared about was Attack of the Clones being the biggest film of all time.

No surprise there, the film is rather forgettable. Olympus Has Fallen did alright for itself too. The rest...not so much.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostWe shall see how we do moving forward.That is what I was thinking too. Set it up as an overall OT and let the interest dictate how things go.
By jvalioli Go To PostSo is there not going to be a new thread for this every week?I feel like editing the OP and changing the title every week would be tiresome. Idk the rules from this forum tho.
I’ll make the music chart thread today so I’ll follow this thread as guideline
Oh wow. Just noticed that the Outlaws is in 12th place for WW. Happy to see it doing so well. The film was pretty enjoyable.
Geostorm may very well be the modern version of When Time Ran Out which also flopped, and to quote Ebert in 1981, "Maybe time may have ran out for the disaster movies and hopefully this will be the last one for a while."
Not sure if I am going to get a chance to see Blade Runner 2049 again but I really want to. The movie is amazing. Sad to see how the Snowman ended up, I love Fassbender and Rebecca Ferguson.

WW or just domestically(US)? Sad to see that audiences aren't lining up for the film but it certainly isn't for everyone. My sister and her fiance decided to watch the movie on a whim and both struggled to remain awake. At least it grossed more than the reported production budget WW. Not sure about the marketing costs but hopefully they will be recouped WW...or after Blu-Rays come out. :/
Man, the real winner here is Happy Death Day. I'd like to see it.
I saw Blade Runner 2049 twice in theaters - once with Dolby Atmos and once without. Atmos really added a layer of placement in the movie. It was very impressive.

I'm from Germany and the had a huge ass Blade Runner poster up in front of a local cinema.
Like a week later, they already pulled it down and used one from a shitty german movie instead :/
Was already hard enough to see it, but they're pulling it somewhat fast..
By Kreed Go To PostI never even heard of Geostorm.Count yourself lucky! I've been seeing that awful trailer in front of a lot of things for months now.
Gerard Butler sucks. He's always sucked. Zero screen presence, charm, or acting ability. He's still living off 300, where he's mostly just internet meme famous for yelling a lot and kicking a dude down a hole. The only thing he's tolerable in is as a voice in How to Train Your Dragon.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postdid Boo 2 opening beat blade runners opening
lawd
no
Glad to have a box-office thread continuation after GAF went under.
Really not shocked at The Snowman performing as poorly as it did. The film had an all star-cast (Fassbender, Kilmer, J.K. Simmons, etc.) and crew (co-writer and director did Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, another writer penned Drive) behind it and was based on a best-seller book, yet somehow the results all added up to wasted potential going by the reviews. It's like getting rare quality ingredients and talented chefs to make a excellent cake, and somehow the final result is a half-baked mess.
Still sad about Blade Runner's performance. At least it's seemingly doing better WW.

By Ahasverus Go To PostRemember that Emoji movie that made more money than Blade RunnerOh man, did it cost less too?
By Ahasverus Go To PostRemember that Emoji movie that made more money than Blade RunnerOh dear god you're right, domestic and international, though it'll take international this week thankfully, but what the fuck?
People don't really like cyper-punk. Its to similar but foreign. Fantastical or even more grounded Sci-fi succeeds more. The genre is just in the middle of that.
Posting the Comscore link to the Worldwide Box Office Results. This was where xaosslug usually got the WW chart, usually made screencaps of the first fourteen-fifteen films on the chart and linked the image to the site.
Emoji Movie ($50M) is one-third of BR's budget ($150M).

It doesn't feel complete without a xaosslug-style punnerific headline.
I'm trying, but apparently making terribad puns is hard!
"Madea goes Boo! Geostorm goes Boom(ba)!"

By cantaim Go To PostSo is it safe to say IT was a huge success?definitely, critically and commercially successful
Nearly 20 months after it was initially scheduled for release, Warner Bros./Skydance’s “Geostorm” finally arrived in theaters this weekend and quickly capsized at the box office. Against a budget of $120 million, which included $15 million for extensive reshoots, the global warming cautionary tale has only made a reported $66.8 million worldwide, including $14.7 million domestically. So, how much money will “Geostorm” lose?https://www.thewrap.com/gerard-butlers-geostorm-lose-much-100-million/
The film is the second biggest flop for Warner Bros. this year, after “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword” failed to recoup its $175 million budget back in May. It’s also another flop for Skydance, which co-financed “Baywatch” with Paramount earlier this year, only making $177 million worldwide against a $69 million production budget.
Box office and finance analysts who spoke with TheWrap estimate that the break-even point for “Geostorm” is likely between $300 million and $350 million worldwide. Usually, for a non-franchise event release, the bar is set between $350 million and $400 million. But WB cut its marketing budget for the weather-themed catastrophe movie after pushing back the release date three times from March 2016 to this past weekend, when no Thursday preview screenings were held. It didn’t help that critics gave it a 13 percent Rotten Tomatoes score.
“There really wasn’t a lot of advertising for this movie, and that’s a sign that WB was willing to cut their losses,” said Exhibitor Relations analyst Jeff Bock.
This weekend, “Geostorm” will roll out in China, but it’s highly unlikely that the Middle Kingdom will bail out this disaster film as only 25 percent of Chinese box office revenue goes to studios. Then, the following weekend, “Geostorm” will be effectively drowned out as “Thor: Ragnarok” sucks up all the attention from moviegoers. By the end of its run, analysts expect that the film will be lucky to make $200 million worldwide, putting “Geostorm” as much as $100 million in the red.
Along with “King Arthur,” “Geostorm” is the fifth film with a $100 million-plus price tag to fall apart at the box office this year. Other big flops include “Monster Trucks” ($64 million worldwide gross against a $125 million budget), “Ghost In The Shell” ($169 million gross/$110 million budget), and “Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets” ($225 million gross/$177 million budget).
The good news for WB is that they have put themselves in good enough of a position to take the hit. The film was co-financed with Skydance and Ratpac, meaning the three studios will share the loss between them. Also, unlike when “King Arthur” was in theaters, WB has built up an immense amount of revenue over the past four months. Its last four hit releases, “Wonder Woman,” “Dunkirk,” “Annabelle: Creation” and “It,” have grossed a combined $2.3 billion worldwide and given the studio an industry-best 20.3 percent of domestic market share for 2017, according to Box Office Mojo. With such success, the writedown WB will take for “Geostorm” pales in comparison.
