If Conan 2 happens, it better have a better script and a MUCH better director. That film was so poorly handled. Stephen Lang is a great actor but he was terrible in that. Momoa was great but half the time you could not figure out where the characters were in relation to each other or what was going on in the fight scenes. And that carriage chase scene where Conan would be even with a rider and then in the next shot, he's about 100 yards back out of NOWHERE. Both of these films suffered from director issues. Nipsel was just HORRIBLE as the director of Conan and Stanton was a little TOO in love with the character to realize he was screwing up the promotion.

I'm glad they're being somewhat positive about the movie's earnings, but they also have to consider the theaters' piece of the pie.

Movie is worthy. A solid bit of film-making with a classic story! I really enjoyed it! I hope it makes ga-zillions...

I'll buy it in DVD. Hard to believe they dropped that much in advertising and failed to get across the legacy of the movie they were trying to sell. Wonder what was different in the foriegn marketing to get such a better turnout.

Problem with the Conan movie was crap direction. Mamoa made a good Conan, but the lack of a good script, and good director weigh down Conan the longer it runs. As it stands, the beginning of that movie was good, then it falls apart, maybe something as simple as a more thorough editing session could have made the flow seem less amateurish. I own the damn thing and have yet to be able to sit through that flick. I expect another Conan movie eventually, just not a sequel to that last one.

The movie hasn't even been out that long and hasn't even debuted everywhere. It just started showing in China and raked in several more million and it will be hitting Japan soon. The media saw the big price tag on this movie and wanted to strike it down way before it had a chance to succeed.

Hope it makes a bit more than that, so that Disney will do a sequel! :) Crossed fingers!

@INSTANTJUSTICE - Valid points, but there's one exception -actually TWO exceptions to a crappy economy:
Booze sales and box office ticket sales.

This statistic never changes...even during the Great Depression these two industries remained profitable.

It the 'escapism' factor.

This movie will surprise yet, just wait and you will see. The international box office will break the count!!!

@INSTANTJUSTICE Incorrect. Cinemas get a percentage of the films revenue after the second week of release.

@INSTANTJUSTICE Also, films make revenue from Video/DVD rental, Video/DVD retail (or sell-through), Pay per View Television, Subscription or Pay Television and Free Television. So if you want to be as thorough as you're trying to be present all the facts. What you're doing is called Hollywood Accounting and is a method studios use to keep from paying royalties to involved parties.

There's a typo in the title. "It's" means "it is". "Its" shows possession.

ninjaturtle11, then how do you know it was horrible? [frick]in' dumbass people...

Ralfinader, I'd say it did so well in foreign markets because they actually still read books and appreciate classics in other countries. Here in America, sorry to say, most people under the age of 20 are just stupid as [frick] and self absorbed. I was in class last week and this girl in my class didn't know people washed dishes by hand... she grew up thinking everyone in the world has a dish-washing machine. Young Americans are just mind-numbingly dumb I've discovered in my return to University at age 30. This is what I attribute to the lack of appreciation for original ideas, and the lack of original thought in general.

My God! 100 mil in marketing! Where the [frick] did it go! I think they're trying to commit fraud personally, and should be made to eat their loss for such piss poor marketing and for bad-mouthing it while it was still in its opening week.

Fantastic movie . As far as Sci-Fi fantasy swashbuckling adventure it is right up there with Star Wars and Avatar , and as the years go by it will only be loved more and more and eventually it will get the accolades it deserves and maybe even a sequel or two .

Such a shame that a bunch of haters trashed this flick as a flop before it was even through its first week-end. Pathetic really. I'm glad its going to make money and I hope it continues to do so such that the nay-sayers eat a healthy portion of crow.

To be a profit it still needs to make 500 million overall, which it most likely won't. Sorry, but underperforming by 250 million is not a success and it's gonna be a good example for films that had too much money and not enough imagination and know-how behind them. maybe studios will think twice next time before giving such a huge budget to such a dull film. Think of all the independenta films that could've been made with 250 million dollars...sad day for cinema.
