Bosco685 Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 The overseas market is really helping some of these movies at the box office. Even 'Hercules' is about to become a financial success when it hits the 2.5X Revenue Ratio goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Guardians continues to go up, though slower than where it started. But it is some of these movies that are massively benefiting from the International Box Office that is most shocking. For a modern movie to be a confirmed success, it has to do at least 2.5X budget. 'Dracula Untold' and 'Hercules' are definitely two of those candidates that should give a big THANK YOU to the international fans. Especially 'Dracula' that was a bust across the Domestic Box Office market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Guardians definitely helped Marvel end the year on a high note. Though with Big Hero 6, this will prove yet again it isn't just the big Marvel titles that will deliver success at the cinema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 2014 definitely had its run of hits. But with 'The Lego Movie' and its budget, it is still the most profitable of them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Looks like The Hobbit 3 may open to a $100 MM weekend, domestically. And it looks like Guardians still has some money coming in from the international box office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 I was out getting some small stocking stuffers at a local store that was having a $3 DVD sale today. They had the three-disc Incredible Hulk DVD as part of the sale. Marvel Studios definitely misfired on this one. As much as it would have been fun to have as mindless viewing while doing some work, even with the Incredible Hulk I couldn't bring myself to buy it.

NewEnglandGothic Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 There are people who love this movie, there are people who hate it. I'm in between myself. I liked Edward Norton as Banner and how it paid homage to the 70's series, but it was one you can watch a couple of times and not really own (I do though). What did it make WW, $250 million? Maybe the ghost of Bill Bixby haunted it too much for the kids of that generation. I'm looking at my comic book movie section and wondering why I own average funnybook movies like Ghost Rider, Whiteout, Cowboys & Aliens, ManThing, Blade: The series and others, myself. I started boycotting sucky movies like TMNT (2014), Sin City 2, etc to stop the flow of licensed so-so flicks entering my collection after ASM 2.

Don't you subliminally talk me into going back and purchasing that movie. No. Stop it. Get out of my head! Whew! I feel better already. That image talked me out of it.

Look how people couldn`t get over Christopher Reeve, and Brandon Routh paid for it. Routh though paved the way for Henry Cavill`s success. The same thing is going on with Spider-Man. People are into Tobey Maguire so much as Spider-Man that Garfield is paying for it in low popularity. I guarantee the next actor who plays Spider-Man will be more popular than Garfield. This thinking leaves me to hope Affleck can pull off replacing Bale as Batman without fandom getting upset.

I'm a huge Affleck fan, but I don't think this will win him an audience like Keaton or Bale. Keaton took a risk with a talented director of two little movies and Bale was part of "something" bigger than the actual character he was playing. Unfortunately, Ben ca$hed in his much deserved screenwriting/director acclaim on a multiple picture deal with Warner Bros. I definitely don't think he will suck, but I feel it's gonna be one too many Batmen changes for the mainstream to take seriously and think "product". Will that hurt the movie, I guess we will see. I don't think a trailer will be honest enough because of the sheer awesomeness of the assembly of the trinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hunger Games 2 is only on Day 38, and it is already approaching Guardians of the Galaxy's Day 46 domestic box office. But I am not sure HG2 will pass up GotG in only three days. So the latter may remain the king of the box office hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Some international box office regions reported updated numbers for Amazing Spider-Man 2, Guardians of the Galaxy and X-Men: Days of Future Past. I still can't believe a phenomenal movie like X-Men: First Class made so much less than the other movies. It was really that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
