BOX OFFICE: Updates On PACIFIC RIM, THE WOLVERINE And ELYSIUM

Is CBM prepping for saints row 4?

All three films are good.

why the hell Japan isnt screening Pacific Rim??

I cant understand some countries sometimes

Wolverine was an upgrade to Origins
Pacific Rim: was awesome eye candy
Elysium: seeing it tomorrow, 6 dollar Tuesdays at my local theater.
Lone Ranger: was just one big cluster F**K, seriously what the F was up with those man eating rabbits?

Man of Steel made over 398M world wide in 11 days and the wolverine makes just under that 25 days yet there is not ONE post about it being a failure? Sure there is no Marvel biased on this site or any other. And don't give me the excuse about doubling or tripling your money as a factor to how good a movie is. Unless your a B-level character then you should be held to the same standard as other major tent pole movies.

X-Men origins wolverine made 379 million worldwide

@ ABLEE337

that was quote from a movie called DUMB AND DUMBER

@tr8cthis

The bars are at different heights when talking Superman vs Wolverine

Plus you're condensing the argument because it usually has to take into perspective the budgets and marketing costs.

@tr8cthis- The Wolverine only cost 120 mil to produce and has made 335 mil in 4 weeks of release which is 2.8 times its investment. MOS cost 225 mil according to IMDB and has made 648 mil after 10 weeks which is 2.9 times its investment. In terms of profit percentage, they are nearly identical.

@tr8cthis- I dont think anyone is calling man of steel a failure, it actually set records both for highest grossing June release and also for highest grossing franchise reboot if I'm not mistaken.

Happy Pacific Rim Made 384Mill hopefully we get a Sequal!!!

the absent of knowledge is less than the experience of wisdom.....trolls will be trolls, but that doesn't mean they are right. as a matter of fact i can't even define what right is so where all just wrong till proven.


as for these films elysium hits home for me, pacific rim was a great stepping stone for a new genera of film and wolverine i haven't watched but im not going to. so there you have it.

@McGee
there is nothing wrong with going on a thread and throwing your 2-cents into the pile. just when people go say how "this is best" or "this sucks because of" what does it matter in the end? it's better when people can just voice there opinion and find like minded souls in which they can both gain new insight

@0megaDaGid True, very true.

@ Ranger14

Yes I do know there is a difference between prawns and shrimps but I was just saying that Aussie don't call them shrimps or use that word usually. They refer to them as prawns. That's all.

My Aussie friends hate that line and kinda find it insulting. I think they feel like we are making fun of them when people say that to them.

But I don't eat either, I don't eat any shellfish or bottom feeders. To me, they are just big underwater bugs.

Man of Steel takes crap because, as always, hardcore fans swore up and down how it was going to crush all competition and be the greatest thing to ever grace the screen for months before its release. Hell, even WB's execs were in on that, from a pre-release Variety article:

"Warner Bros. motion pictures group president Jeff Robinov went so far as to predict it will be the studio’s highest performer ever. That would mean the 3D movie, which cost about $225 million to produce and another $150 million to market and release around the globe, would have to top the $1.3 billion cume for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2″ and the $1 billion-plus each earned by four other Warner releases, “The Dark Knight,” “The Dark Knight Rises,” “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” and “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.”"

So when people talk a big game and set expectations so high, others are going to rub their noses in it when they don't reach them.

Its good that these films are making money, we certainly don't want cbms and SF films doing bad, and these are American companies making these films so its all good. But when you get into the details, the movie execs have to decide if financial success is enough to go on. Clearly, in the case of Kick Ass, the answer should have been no, one is enough. With Wolverine, he's a franchise by himself, and a key player in another, and part of a bigger universe, both at Fox and Marvel, that Fox wants to keep alive, so yes, he gets to go on, but barely. They've got to commit to telling a story, and showing his rage in graphic detail, or he will begin to hurt their part of the Marvel universe.
With PR, it has to double its budget just to just break even, which it may have done now, though its actual budget is still not known, so if I were an exec, I'd be unlikely to approve a sequel.
Elysium doesn't deserve a sequel, nor does it need one. Like the political philosophy it propagandized, failure is inevitable.
As for the Lone Ranger, take off the mask, turn in the guns, shoot the horse and make Depp stand outside a cigar store, its stinking up the theatres worse than the dead bird on Depps head.
