[Guest El Satanico]

See and people acted like The Rundown was a major disappointment for making 18 mill.

 

 

:crosses fingers for TCM to flop:

[Mole 0]

School of Rock will defiently get more than $100 million.

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

::Waits for some asshole to call Kill Bill Vol. 1 AKA "One Of The Best Movie's Of The Year" a dissapointment::

[Guest El Satanico]

Well even if they do, it'll only be about the box office numbers. It wouldn't have anything to do with the movie itself.

 

But me...I don't get caught up in the box office bullshit.

School of Rock will defiently get more than $100 million.

I highly doubt that. Why are you so confident about it?

The movie will linger in the top 10 for a long time. It was a good movie, a family movie in a way, so word of mouth will help.

[The Dames 0]

Let's see if you're right about it. There isn't much competition out there right now, but the way I see it, unless it becomes an anomoly like My Big Fat Greek Wedding, it'll slowly start to lose money week after week and it'll make about 75 tops.

depends on how much you expected. if you expected tarantino to reinvent cinema as we know it (and i know people who did), then yes.

Not leaving much room for debate there, are we?

 

 

There's that "not everyone has the same taste" kind of thing..but..eh.

What does taste have to do with this?

 

This is a Box Office thread, the only disappointment that should be discussed here is on the monetary side.

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

Um...

 

You folks need to calm down.

 

I don't care much about box office numbers, but I figured they'd be that 1 person who called it a dissapointment.

 

All that counts is the movie itself. And well... everybody has their own opinions.

 

Just calm down...

[Guest El Satanico]

Nobody was going bonzo...so who shall do the calming down that you speak of...

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

I'll slice you up with my Samurai Sword, fool.

[Boner Kawanger 0]

Good Boy making any money whatsoever disturbs me. I don't care if its a family movie or whatever you want to say...its a movie about ALIEN DOGS THAT TRY TO TAKE OVER EARTH. I am utterly CONVINCED I could make a movie about a dog that poops on criminals or something and become a millionaire.

People are buying tickets for GOOD BOY and sneaking in to watch KILL BILL just like QT planned!

[Guest El Satanico]

I heard Tarantino directed Good Boy under a fake name and somehow convinced the Studio to release it this weekend.

 

All as part of his master plan to get young impressible teens into his blood soaked exercise in debauchery! This man is a fiend!

 

 

 

 

 

I'll eventually watch Good Boy on HBO or something. It appears to be so absurd that I'd love it.

See and people acted like The Rundown was a major disappointment for making 18 mill.

Bill also cost about 30 million less to make than The Rundown. So yes, 18 mill for Rundown is a dissapointment, while 22 for Kill Bill isn't.

[Guest Mindless_Aggression]

Kill Bill apparently cost about 55 million and I believe The Rundown cost something like 90 to 100 mil. So yeah, Bill is fine. The Rundown will make it's money completely back internationally and what not.

 

Now everyone start praying The Texas Chainsaw Massacre just bombs to no end. That is one film that did not need to be remade, they got it perfect the first time.

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

Next Week:

 

1. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Face it, it's going to happen) / Kill Bill Vol. 1

 

2. Kill Bill Vol. 1 (But i'm hoping that there isn't a huge dropoff) / The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

 

3. The School Of Rock

 

4. Runaway Jury

 

5. Intolerable Cruelty

[Guest Mindless_Aggression]

Oh I'm pretty sure TCM will do well, I give them credit, they promoted the movie well, and I'll honestly go in and give it a chance. It's just gonna be missing that lil extra something the first one had. Cheaply made is a good thing sometimes.

I believe The Rundown was closer to 85 million, but do you figure since Kill Bill is a two-parter that the cost of making it is split in half? You know, like LOTR each movie is listed at 95 million or so when everybody knows the total budget was $300 million. So I believe Kill Bill actually cost more than than and the cost is split, but I'll not venture and say that part II is also listed at $55 million but some figure close to that.

 

Did I make any sense?
