July 11th

 

[TheComicbookKid]

Well, they basically killed any chance of making their money back. What idiot came to this release date as a good idea. Batman is the hero everyone is going to want to see.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Thats just plain stupid, what the **** are they thinking? How is HB2 gonna make much money going up against TDK just a week later? ****ing stupid!

 

[Movies205]

Well I guess that means no sequel

 

[TheShadowCat]

Oh for heaven's sake people, calm down. The date isn't writen in stone, it can change again.

>^..^<

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

^It will change again, I'm thinking September is going to be in order.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

I would put it in October to market it as as Halloween, scary action film. And put Pan's Labrinyth name all over it.

Oh, you can bet the farm that they're going to be plastering 'from the writer and director of Pan's Labyrinth' all over this puppy.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

stuff the release dates..i want some pictures.

 

[Darth Elektra]

Terrible release date, but it will probably get bumped back.

>^..^<

It better change, otherwise any chance they have of making money on this will be gone.

You guys are wrong

July 11 gives it a great chance to have a great opening weekend, much better than August 1st

just roll with it Batman is gunna own but if the trailer is sweet and it is a July superhero opening you can expect an opening weekend in the mid 40's, which would be as much as the first movie grossed in its entirity

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^Sorry but i dont see it, TDK has everyone buzzing and IMO it will clean up at the BO with people going to see it multiple times, me included, I personally will also make time to see HB2, but i doubt other people will.

but there inlies the beauty

do you think anyone will be lineing up to see Hancock again?

Maybe, but more than likely no... Hellboy has a prime release date in the heart of summer

Hellboy 2 is gunna be able to dance with the big dogs don't worry July 11th is a good date for a movie that will be able to dance

I think they switched the dates cause no one thinks Mummy will be able to dance

HB2 is going to be both a visual spectacle and a movie that gets great reviews, it'll do fine, I think it may be able to make 100 million

Oh i know it'll get great reviews, but that rarely means good BO these days does it.

I hope it does make it to $100 million though, that would mean a sequel IMO.

 

[shapeshifter]

did they really think that one out? going head to head with batman????? who thought that was a good idea.

Only a movie studio could think it IMO.

I know but a sweet trailer with great reviews, and solid marketing

it could make 60 million on its opening weekend, I would think in early July, and it'll probably drop down to 20 when Batman gets released but that still puts it at 80, and it can scramble another 20 to get to a 100

it'll do good overseas like the last one too

we'll get a 3

I hope to god all of this is true, but i just cant see it at the moment, i doubt it will make $60 opening weekend, the first HB had great trailers and reviews as well and it didnt help that one out too much.

While true it opened the same weekend as the Passion of the Christ

if its the marquee release of a hot week of summer i can't see it getting less than a 40 opening weekend, and the budget can't be more than 40 so we would still probabbly get a greenlit 3

The budget is around $72 million this time, which if you take into consideration that it's three years since the last one and accounting for inflation, is probably the same level of budget as HELLBOY. Still, the film is a LOT bigger in scope and takes place in the more traditional Hellboy universe. I've seen some of the critters, the sets and know the storyline, and I'm impressed. I'm not terribly happy about the July release date - I would have been happier if the release was just after Comic Con so that we could get some real buzz going. If Universal have any gumption they'd think about that one.

See though I get why its not a great release date, I understand Batman is right around the corner

but if next summer is anything like this summer unless they wait till October , which would be sweet, but the opening weekend then is only gunna be around 30 million, they don't have a week in the summer to hide

like this year Rush Hour 3, Bourne, Superbad where all no. 1 for just a week and they where released in the once safe for mid-level blockbuster month of august

Imo I say take your chances with the prime release date of July 11 you'll get an assload of money on that weekend, and hey, if the reviews and word of mouth is good maybe you can steal some money from TDK
