Annie Remake

[CB Fan]

Forbes reported the film as actually surpassing expectations in terms of Box Office this weekend so this film is not some major blockbuster but it's not a flop by any means other than critical.

I dont think this movie did bad because of the black cast.
I think the leak hurt it a lot and the buzz wasnt that good.

Well the film hasn't actually done bad. It made 3 million on Monday.

 

[MadVillainy]

I was the impression it wasnt doing well.

With a budget of 65 mill I guess their banking on overseas gross because I dont see this making it far past 65 mill domestically

Mojo has it making at least $80m, with the possibility of $100m. Christmas season works differently at the box office.

 

[MadVillainy]

100 m internationally or just domestically

 

[JP]

BO.com had it making 85. Not sure if that's changed.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

100 m internationally or just domestically

Domestically.

 

[MadVillainy]

I guess we'll see. I just don't see it.
I rarely hear anyone talking about it and Into the Woods is about to grab that musical audience and Night of the Museum has that family crowd

Again, Christmas season works differently. Each day is higher then usual.

 

[MadVillainy]

Christmas season or not I don't see this making that much money domestically to be considered a success. Even if it hits 100 m. That's on a budget of 65 mill not counting marketing.

How big is Little Orphan Annie overseas?

 

[terry78]

It's not that big over here.

 

[JP]

Well, Sony is clearly happy with the opening, and how it's tracking going by the latest email so I don't even see the concern...

So you know better then the people who do this for a living? Okay...

They will cover cost with the oversea total. It doesn't need to do $500m to make it a success. $210m WW would be fine, and that is certainly obtainable.

 

[MadVillainy]

I didnt say that I knew better than anyone. I was simply stating my opinion. Don't know why it rubbed you the wrong way

 

[harryoscop]

I thought it was pretty good! (Saw it by myself)

Taking my sister to see it Thursday.

What exactly is your opinion based off? I told you Mojo has it doing just fine with its current numbers. This isn't a mega blockbuster. $65m would usually be easily covered with something in the mid-$160m. If this movie makes $85m domestically, it should me more then ok unless it completely bombs worldwide.

How much do you think they spent on marketing Annie?

 

[MadVillainy]

My opinion is based on what I saw. I saw a lot of marketing. Commercials, billboards, etc. It was a pretty hyped movie from what I saw. I imagine that it wasnt cheap even if it wasnt a lot

And I know that it's not a big blockbuster. That is very clear. Im saying if this makes 85 mill that they'll have to rely on WW gross. That's why I asked how big Annie is overseas.

What is etc? Commercials and billboards are standard practice. They didn't spend $100m on this, probably not even half that. At least a bit of which was covered by some corporate deals.

 

[MadVillainy]

"Etc."= Print ads and other forms of advertisements other than billboards and commercials

Youre putting words in my mouth. I never said that they spent 100 mill on this. SO I dont know why even bring that number up. ANd I never said that commercials or whatever were not common practice or that Annie was doing anything special with the marketing. I dont know what your deal is. Im not making outlandish claims saying this is a flop, bomb, or whatever.

At the end of the day, it's whatever. I don't see it doing that well, unless overseas helps. Nothing youre going to say is going to change my opinion on that.

And if my wrong...okay. I don't really care, I have nothing on the line. So I'm wrong. I've been wrong before and will again. And I like everyone of the actors involved in this; so cool, good actors being in a successful film. That's good news for them and I hope it leads to good things for them in the future

 

[JP]

Just to bring this back up whatever the film made more THIS weekend then it did opening weekend. It's now at $45m dom.

 

[JP]

$61m going into it's third weekend.
