Rise of the Silver Surfer BOX OFFICE Discussion

[Eros]

lets hope that the international box office can save the series

If theirs 3rd one, the budget will be smaller IMO, this one has a budget of 130 Million, I don't suspect fox will give them that much money for another sequel.

i think that if the film had the same budget as this one and the surfer and galctus were out of it it could still be a great movie

Looks like 2.19 million for Monday putting us over 99 million for FF2. We cross 100 million with today's #'s. With the Holiday weekend still ahead FF should do well as I think Evan will slide behind it. Saw Evan last night and it was actually quite fun. My kids loved it.

LOL. That lack of female appeal really hurt (R rated) 300 didn't it! t:

You're not getting it. Read my comment again. 300 would never hit Spidey 3, Shrek 3, or Pirates 3 #'s because of that however I think 300 has more female appeal than Trasnformers. Just look at those guys they're like Chippendales. LOL

there isn't one big reason why sequels are bombing (relatively). the main reason for SM3 is that the script sucked. a bad movie is a bad movie regardless of whether its predecessor did well. the ending for Pirates 2 turned a lot of people off, including me. shrek3? nothing new. i would think the case here is that there just aren't many people interested in this movie.

Spiderman 3, Shrek 3, and Pirates were polar opposite of bombs. They just didn't hold up to the prior films box office domestic yet international is stomping those old #'s more than making up for it.

been there done that?

compared to all the threequels this summer a giant robot epic is totally fresh for movie goers tired of sequels.

I agree, TF will be a whole different kind of fresh for this summer.

The last blockbuster of the summer has it made.....

Monday's number is bad, but we'll have to see if it's a trend or if it's blip. The weekend numbered tracked higher than Hulk, but Monday's estimate is just a bit short, so if it drops below $2 million for Tuesday, then the last hurrah might be next week, since 3 killer films will be launching over that period.

Bourne?

 

[Advanced Dark]

Another problem is these sequels are not as tied together as they should be. Star Wars and the Matrix did it right. A seamless story from film 1 through film 3. It keeps people interested and wanting to know more. Fortunately this is what Favreau is doing with Iron Man and hopefully The Hulk will pan out the same way.

Yeah as does the first. Harry Potter should have a nice run.

I wonder if it will make it to $200,000,000 WW. Aren't there still a few more countries waiting for its release?
