Should be a lot less popular outside the states but I think they may at least make the budget back.

So in four days they've made back roughly 41% of the budget. That's pretty impressive given the circumstances.

It should, at least, make back its budget.

That $44m figure is likely not including marketing costs, which could be anywhere from $10-35 million extra.

They may make a substantial amount if the Netflix deal goes through though, and it's still set to release on other services.

Marketing budget probably wasn't that high. Got released on iTunes too.

Yep. I think the Korean hackers even hacked Sony free of charge.

Lol. In all seriousness though I wonder if the big cinemas will do a u-turn and show it while it's still well known in public domain.

I think their golden moment has passed. Maybe if Sony rereleased it as director's cut with 15 more minutes of Kim-Jong-Uning.

After that 77 million download thread I thought it would be a lot more!

Was going to say something similar. I did say that something about the 77 million number just didn't sound right at all though.

Not surprised.

Kept hearing how the whole exposure was great for Sony, best PR ever etc and had to laugh. A theater release would have made more. It wouldn't have been a massive success, but, in my opinion, much more successful than it will end up being under these circumstances.

Doing well apparently in so few days. At least they did not lost everything to the hackers.



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...
