Another great site for this sort of info is www.imdb.com ... the Internet Movie Database. For $100 per year, you can have a "pro" account, and know exactly what each actor makes/has made on each of his/her films...! Pretty cool stuff.

I loved Josie & The Pussycats... it's not often that you get a movie that is actually satirizing its own target audience-- and is actually successful at it. Oh, and the girls were hot, too.

www.boxofficemojo.com is a very good source for movie info. I use it all the time

thanks to all who replied. The reason i picked oceans eleven was I wanted to have a minor hit movie to compare them to. Is there a number above which a movie is considered a hit or does the cost of making it complicate the formula?

Obviously production budget and other costs must be offset against the films gross to decide if a movie was a hit. For example Daredevil and Hulk both had huge advertising budgets, so would probably have had to clear $100 mill total (not just US box office) just to break even.

[Foolkiller]

also though, it was pointed out in newsweek recently that there's a lot of studios who bank on dvd sales and other related merchandise that sometimes comes after the movie and many times is considered by the studios to be where the money is truly made.

[shadroch]

The Hulk was one of the most merchandised movies in a long time.I would think the total profit off this movie must have exceeded that of Oceans eleven dispite grossing much less.For some reason neither X-men nor Daredevil seemed to generate the type of merchandizing that Hulk did.

[Lockjaw]

The remake of Ocean's Eleven is not considered a minor hit. If a 183 million gross, plus tons more from international/DVD/Video/T.V/Cable Rights is a "minor" hit, then Hollywood would LOVE to see more minor hits like Ocean's Eleven.

 

I suspect you did not realize that the year the film came out, it was one of the top-grossing films.

 

In fact, from worldwideboxoffice.com you can see that it is one of the top grossing films period, with a combined domestic/International gross of over 444 million. The DVD also did phenomenally well when it came out.

 

It is funny that you threw Ocean's Eleven in the mix because you thought it was a minor hit you could use in comparison to the grosses of the other films on your list.

You are a bit mistaken, Hollywood is taking a bit of a bath on the Hulk. Hollywood does not see most, if any, of the money from all of those Hulk Hands sales. Marvel/Toybiz made a mint off the merchandising for Hulk (enough to bring their stock close to the 19 dollar mark from a drop down to 15-17 dollars).

 

Lucky for Marvel they did not have to put up any of their money to finance Hulk.

 

I LOVED the Hulk film, but I think Marvel's wanting a sequel is something they should stay away from, even if they think they can make a mint off of merchandise again. I like to think that the novelty of Hulk Hands will have worn off by the time the sequel is green-lit, and they lucked out with Hulk Hands, kind of like catching lightning in a bottle (something that usually does not happen twice).
