I watched the Dictator today. It was a funny movie not as good as Borat but still good. Still the best movie that I have seen this was "The Avengers".

Watched Aliens, aliens vs. Predator, population 436, alien ressurection, and now Serenity. Will edit and post my thoughts on them later.

^ I have wanted to see many movies this year as well!

@ ninplup

John Carter on Dvd this week. Make or break time for it. I will buy it!

Alien ressurection is my favorite of that bunch. It has a lot of memorable quotes and the underwater scene is one of the best I have seen.
I need to watch Serenity again, I can't recall all that much about it without getting confused with Firefly episodes.

Ohh shit I just saw on imdb that MIB 3 had a Budget of 375milll$ :-O that can´t be true

But if itis, the I say Columbia pictures have lost there minds and can´t be saved from doom.

I think that this is including Advertising. If they make 450 million world wide they should be fine. Although 500-600 million would be much better. How in the world did this cost more than The Avengers?


375 with advertising would make sense.

And that was exactly my thought I mean I loved the movie but there where no super Special effects. Maybe it was because of the good 3d.

I heard that The Avengers had pretty decent 3D as well. In fact when it comes to the Dollar show I am going to watch it in 3D. Some companies ( Universal) have the worst budgeting teams. They just throw whatever out there and hope for the best.

It has solid 3D but MIB better.

That numbers sound ridiculous Wikipedia has the budget at $225 million.  I doubt they spend over $100 million on advertising I don't see a lot of adds for it on TV but I don't know about overseas.  At $375 million the movie would have to make $750 million at the box office just to break even since only about 50% of the total gross goes back to the studios.

Well I actually would say that 55 percent goes to studios. Just to make the basic budget back without advertising they would need around 345 to break even. Add in 100 million marketing and they would need around 500 to make a profit safely. Imo.

MIB 3 made almost made $400 million wold wide so far.  I'm guessing it will end up somewhere between $500-$600 million dollars so it should turn a small profit from the box office alone.   Even with advertising I doubt the buget was over $300 million dollars.

^ Many big budget movies have 100-150 million marketing budgets. I will look for total budget and post it here if I can find it.


This is a well established franchise I doubt they spend over $100 million to market it.  They already knew it would roughly make between $500-$600 million based on the previous two movies.  They kinda went nuts with the budget on the third movie though according to Wikipedia the fist one cost $90 million the second was $140 million and the third one was $225 million.
