battleship midnight so far is pacing itself ala john carter at usual megaplex but still some time to go May 17, 21:45
If this flops like that did, will it be the quickest end to a leading man career ever (in regards to Kitsch)? {nm} May 17, 21:49
But I want a Lite-Brite, Lincoln Logs, and especially a Mr. Potato Head movie! Imagine the possibilities!! May 17, 21:56
I liked Mr Potato Head in Toy Story - he could have a spin-off movie {nm} May 17, 22:51
Though $30M would be less a flop for this than JC, for sure. {nm} May 17, 21:58
Didn't Battleship cost the same as JC ($250M)? {nm} May 17, 22:01
$209mill {nm} May 17, 22:11
But marketing not as high and "Battleship" has already surpassed "John Carter" internationally, three weeks into its run. {nm} May 17, 22:28
$215M international thus far. {nm} May 17, 22:29
It still needs like 200M domestically to just break even. {nm} May 17, 22:34
Foreign could make it to $300M. If it gets to $100M domestic, plus ancillary revs, it's basically a wash. {nm} May 17, 23:29
Why did JC do so poorly internationally? Seems like it should have done a lot better. {nm} May 17, 22:49
It only made a little over $200M internationally. {nm} May 17, 22:50
3d sci fi can be a hard sell if isnt a franchise overseas {nm} May 17, 23:08
I think yes. {nm} May 17, 22:04
pretty good comp. well for those hoping for a bomb. ;) {nm} May 17, 22:03
