Inmmortals total budget is 140m with marketing. I think you are leaving out marketing budget which usually is around the same as production budget.

How I do it is by assuming each studio makes about 55 percent back from theater ticket sales. If it is an older movie I will even go and find out what the DVD sales are. Sometimes you can find the marketing budget and sometimes you cannot. I usually just go with 100 million for movies that cost over 100 million to make, and below that it is hard to decide on. I know a lot of recent movies have been costing 35-65 million to produce. I do not remember which ones I saw that were like that, but it was a good amount. Boxofficemojo has a spot that says total budget, but, I have not been able to find it yet.

Looking at Immortals take overseas I think it will do quite well over there, and it should have a ways to go in America as well. so if 140 million is all it needs to just break even it should not have a problem.

What do you think? Bomb or minor hit? Or big hit for that matter.


We will get better idea in a month but i think it will be hit.

I think the problem with Immortals is it looks too much like 300, but most people don't want another 300. Fair or not, 300 had a lot of hype that Immortals just didn't garner.

Happily the Thanksgiving Weekend has totally saved most of the movies currently at the box office including Immortals. Should have the same thing happen for most movies now till the end of the year.


Yeah I saw The Muppets on black friday. It's was great. I hope it brings back the franchise. The world needs more Muppets.

I've been deceived; I came in here expecting to see something about an Atlus movie I somehow missed . . . how disappointing.

The Terminator made a crapton of money. It wasn't just in the box office gross, but the fact that the movie still plays rather often today on TV. That means royalties. They made video games, arcade games, comic books and toys from the 1st and 2nd movies, which also means a lot of residual income. May not be able to track it, but think about how often you see DVDs and such available. They're there because they still sell.

I'd imagine that T-1 has probably made around $500m or greater just in royalties, ect.


Ayn Rand seems like someone that you would write a post about so I will post this to you.

Sadly this movie seems to have stuggled. After the rights of the book were bought up the owner decided to do the movie himself for 20 million dollars.

Domestic:  $4,627,375

It was just released on DVD and bluRay so maybe it will have a bigger following on the small screen.

If not then Part 2 may never see the light of day!

 

 

 

In fact here are some more problems for it now that it is on DVD, and it cost 10 million plus 10 million advertising.

 

Atlas Shrugged: Part I was released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on November 8, 2011 by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.[27] More than 100,000 DVD inserts were recalled within days due to the jacket's philosophically incorrect description of "Ayn Rand’s timeless novel of courage and self-sacrifice


Unfortunately, a lot of people have a beef with the fact the movie was low-budget and in development limbo for so long. The original treatment was to have a lot more money and marketing behind it, with Angelina Jolie as Dangy Taggert.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
