HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I see.
And how does one get such a position?
Do you apply or is one simply appointed by a committee?
Got to get that attention somehow

No Taylor Kitsch pictures to make fun of Savages yet? I guess at this point it's like making fun of a.clown.

You need to stop living in the numbers, man.
Seriously, that was a lofty goal/hope/prediction, 130 seemed more doable but even that's impossible at this point.

I kinda feel bad for him, he's not a bad actor but then he's not a very good one either. He's a good Riggins, but then the role doesn't really demand that much acting ability.
Will be interesting to see where he goes from here, will be go the indie route? Attempt another shot at the big time or head back to TV? Maybe he'll just fade into obscurity as the rest of the FNL cast have.
Anyway, Killer Joe should be out soon (week after Rises), everyone needs to watch it. Heard amazing things. Can't wait personally.

Overseas Amazing Spider-man breakdown (these are all opening weekends):
- $18.1M in the UK (just below Spider-man 3, edit: in US dollars the difference is larger. SM3 was $23M)
- $10.8M in Russia (Avengers was $15M, but Spider-man 3 only made $14M total)
- $9.6M Mexico (sixth largest opening, but down from SM3)
- $8M France (way down from SM3)
- $7.5 Australia (around the same as SM3)
- $6.9 Brazil (Slightly down from SM3)
- $5.7M Italy (way down)
- $4.5M Indonesia (largest opening ever)
- $4.1M Spain (35% of SM3's opening)
- $2.1 for United Arab Emirates (3rd highest ever and twice SM3's final gross)
Japan is at $20.7M and Germany $9.6M after two weeks. The movie will probably fall short of Spider-man 3's total by a fair amount in both territories.
In other news, Prometheus is at $294M, up $9M since last weekend. It should hit $300M in the next week or two, but that's about it.
Australia loves Ted. The movie made $8.6M over the weekend and $13.1 including early screenings.

This is crazy talk. ASM is on Norton's Hulk level (the worst Marvel film).

I don't even remember a single thing about Norton's Hulk, and I JUST SAW THAT SHIT on FX like a month or two ago when they were replaying it for the Avengers.
There was a bunch of CGI near the end about two people I didn't give a single fuck about it, and it just went on and on forever

Prometheus has yet to open in Japan and a few European territories. Would another $20m overseas gross be a fair estimate? Can it end up in the same ballpark WW as Snow White?

All I really remember is the first 15 minutes where Norton is hiding out in some poor country, and that's better then anything shown in ASM. Too bad the rest of the film is bland and boring.

TAS cost that much to make? lol lol...
As weak as the rest of that movie is, I thought the first act of fugitive Banner in Brazil was pretty cool.

Meh I have zero interest in TAS.
I actually liked the original trilogy....not interested in every single god damn Marvel franchise getting rebooted every few years.

There's apparently a three hour cut or at least there was rumored to be one, would pay some serious cash money to see it.
The movie wasn't too hot, but how much of that was down to Marvel forcing them to cut away a lot of character development, plot advancement scenes, etc.
eh? This is only the second Marvel franchise to get rebooted.

technically not true, there are 3 captain americas, 2 punishers, 2 hulks, 2 fantastic fours and now 2 spiderman.

Two Punishers and two Fantastic Fours?
Yeah, Hulk was pretty god damn boring. If I had to compare Amazing to the Marvel films, I'd probably rank it about on par with Thor and Cap, above Hulk, and below Avengers, IM1 and IM2.
The whole scene where
Spidey is fighting Lizard in the school
He's talking about the 80s punisher and the Corman Fantastic Four that was never actually released and only made to hold onto the movie rights.
the best thing to come out of that movie is the .gif of Norton closing his laptop in disgust.

6-day opening was $140M.

and Spider-Man 3 was $151
Yeah, realized after my wording was wonky. My point is simply that all 3 Raimi movies opened better.
No doubt this movie would have been down massively, even with a Friday opening, but it probably would have been closer to Spider-man 1's unadjusted total than $65M.

box office should be tracked with number of tickets sold and nothing else
It's 100 years too late for that.

Most of the interest in sales figures is to do with wanting to see good films make some money. I don't give a fuck how many people saw the Avengers, for example, I just like knowing it made a fuck ton of money and thus will keep the Marvel cinematic universe ticking along for the foreseeable future.
The only people who want to know round about how many people saw a film is the people who were involved in making it, really.
I think traditional theatre used to report dollar amounts, and they just continued doing so when the switched to showing films.
I sort of see the point. You are not selling a physical product, and even now different people pay different prices to see the same showing (children vs gen audience vs seniors). Family films would always have an edge on regular films if we went by attendence.

It should, but Hollywood wants to be able to boast about returns in terms of cash money.
A friend of mine in the business who has a whole presentation that argues this very thing.
The way box office numbers are reported like NFL scores is doing more harm than good.
But the simple fact of the matter is that cinema attendance is going down while prices are going up. Studios aren't keen to shout about that kind of thing.
People always forget the marketing costs of these films. For a film like ASM Sony could easily have spent $100/200m on marketing alone worldwide.
Film production + P&A (print and advertising) costs = total studio investment.
Amazing Spider-Man will hit $700M worldwide so it doesn't matter anyhow. The real question is whether it can hit $800M. Definitely going to be more of a struggle to $500M overseas than I thought. I think the difference between $750ish or $800M will be the movie's reception in China.

At the box office?? Absolutely not. If that were the case 95% of films would be losing massive amounts of money.
Usually these days if a film's domestic gross is equal to the budget, it's profitable. Overseas grosses can help with this, though as other posters have mentioned studios get a lesser percentage than they do from stateside release.
After the box office release, there's a ton of revenue from home video, cable, and broadcast rights for the studios as well. A film like ASM will have no problem whatsoever commanding top dollar in this area.
Whoever keeps spouting the $700 million WW to break even number is out of their mind, or using extremely creative accounting.

And all bar TAS were standard 2d releases. Which makes TAS take all the more disappointing. Guess Spidey is no longer the draw he once was.
