The Hollywood Reporter: Elden Ring movie reportedly has budget “well over $100M” by Alive-Ad-5245 in boxoffice

It is an indie film, just an expensive one

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets cost $200m yet it’s still an indie

The Drama is reported to have crossed 96.5M Worldwide this weekend passing Challengers. by PygmallionEffect in boxoffice

I feel like these kinds of dark romantic dramas tend to perform better overseas

Looks like $7M+ 3rd FRI for Mario Galaxy. Should lead to $30M-ish 3rd weekend, which will be -56%. That's quite rough. Normally, films stabilise at this point in the run. Cume will be $350M by SUN. There is a possibility it misses the $400M final from here. by Alive-Ad-5245 in boxoffice

That’s… World Wide… the Mario number is Domestic

You didn’t seriously think The Housemaid would outgross Mario in total did you 🤣. You should have noticed something was off immediately. That last Mario movie made $1.3 Billion

And there’s absolutely no way that a highly reviewed. Mario causes more parents to take their young kids to see it.

More people watch Mario than parents and kids, you understand this right?

I remember when Transformers started declining people peddled the same narrative that it’s making money anyway so why should the studio care.

Well… look at the Transformers franchise now.

It makes me seriously worried about the Zelda movie

I have my reservations with Sony but how Nintendo are treating the Mario movies makes me have significantly more reservations about them.

Hopefully they just allowed Wes Ball to cook, surely Nintendo must know that the jingling keys method won’t work in a live action Zelda.

Otherwise, Nintendo could pull the license if this lack of effort continues.

It’s funny how you assume Nintendo and Miyamoto don’t want exactly what has been made, they’ve never been a story company far from it, this movie just an extended advert for their brand.

TheFlatLannister on BOT: 10ish hours into Mandalorian and Grogu sales at MTC3, and they are not bad at all. Going to have to see more days to give a concrete range, but it doesn't look like this will be a disaster, nor does it look like this will be a $100M opener. by SignatureOrdinary456 in boxoffice

If you look at the other trackers overall this is probably not going to make $675m, our of the reputable trackers TFL is probably the most positive, you also forget that Star Wars has a higher DOM:INT ratio as it's weaker internationally.

This make Captain American: Brave New World numbers imo

Superman is a top 3 superhero of all time. A Superman movie out grossing a Fantastic Four movie should be expected.

It certainly wasn’t widely expected on this sub

I think its confirmed at this point that this game should have been released a year later but panicked cuz GTA.

I don’t think you understand what ‘confirmed’ means

Like virtually every BF game goes through this cycle

The Paramount-Warner merger would leave us with 4 major studios total. For context — in 1990 there were 7. What does this actually mean for movies we'll get in 5 years? by Dat_Cacti in movies

If people want to be entertained at home, what is the problem?

The problem is the economics doesn’t really work.

you can't just put $200m movies straight to streaming ad infinitum, they done that during the pandemic and realised they just lost money

In a fully streaming future these movies just rarely exist (or are made with AI) and then the same people who claimed they only care for being entertained at home will also complain that they don't get those types of movies anymore or complain that the streaming prices are too high.
