Blake's hot. Scarlett's hotter. The difference is negligible to most of us.

Maybe Blake's more fun to be around? When you are Ryan Reynolds, you don't exactly have a hard time getting gorgeous women. At some point, I would imagine that personality starts to be the bigger draw.
Anyhow, back on topic:
Now You See Me
Domestic: $114,440,000
Foreign: $86,000,000
Worldwide: $200,440,000

Hot Coldman is the voice of reason here.

They're in a good position to have a GREAT year when all is said and done.
What's funny is that they're one of the few studios that appear to be working an old model: Make a bunch of mid-budget features. If a few of them break 80 mil, you're still good. If one of them breaks huge, you're set for the rest of the year.
They've got one blockbuster (Hunger Games) that's guaranteed, and I think they still managed to keep costs on that relatively low, right? Or am I wrong about that?
Regardless - I remember when more studios took that tack. The majority of their stuff was in the mid-budget range, between 20-60mil, tops. Easier to produce, easier to turn a profit. Not as easy to market.
But why be proud of your solid batting average when everybody else is having a homerun contest.

I don't think the internet was ever high on PoP.
The internet was gushing about the films I mentioned.

Blake has small boobs? Lol
Everyone loves tits.
It's important to remember that Lionsgate still sell all their films internationally distribution rights (like New Line did back in the day) to a network of foreign distributors so they recoup something like 60-75% of the budget of every film they make before they even open.
Of course the down side is they don't get to reap any of the benefits that a large International gross can bring like the big studios can if a film becomes a WW hit.
I think an economist did a study and concluded that the higher the budget (with all other things being equal), the greater the likelihood that a movie would get to break even point or better. Of course, that likelihood won't get anywhere near 100% no matter how much you spend, so it's risky to put too much money into one movie.
So, doing more movies in the mid-budget range is possibly more risky.
The only film I can think of that is close was Prometheus, but that was cheaper than Pacific Rim, and will probably have a little higher WW total. Scott Pilgrim which made like half its budget worldwide is not a good comparison.
BobbyRoberts said:
Hunger games was pretty cheap ($75-80M) but I think they ramped up the budget for Catching Fire.
I think that Lionsgate will end up a lot closer to Sony this year (domestically) than one might have expected not too long ago. They have a good chance of finishing the year with $1B domestic if Catching Fire finishes in the same range as the Hunger Games, and the rest of their slate doesn't bomb miserably.
I guess a C cup is small now.

I've seen the picture. Ugly boobs are ugly. Size doesn't matter.

Well look we have like two options: Talk about the bomb office or boobs.
Let's talk about box office boobs. Copping a feel, yay or nay?

absolutely agree
What I dont understand is this desire and hope by some to see a movie fail simply because it got Internet hype. Like it's their job to be the anti-hype and sit back after the fact to laugh while a new, original ip by a great director fails to produce a profit.
I don't see any reason to celebrate
shhh shhh just watch
I thought Blake's nudes topped everyone else's except that redhead who broke out the toys for her photoshoot.

Downgrade for sure. Scarlet simply looks more interesting and doesn't pass herself off for cheap ass when she talks. Also, it's important to consider that Scarlet has a much much better career and name recognition.
Obviously, I don't know either of them but at face value going from Scar Jo to Blake looks like poor decision making. Karma had its say too, Green Lantern was dog shit and bombed hard.... and his career isn't on its way up but down. Unlike Scar Jo.
Given that this is the box office thread, I have a suggestion.

He put a pair on Scar during Green Lantern, with Lively. Seems to me that's when fates turned around playboy.
Went from Marvel to DC, traded Scar for Lively.... Green Lantern bombed and now RIPD, Lively then made Savages and went back to Gossip Girl after that. Scar on the other hand.... 2nd highest grossing movie of all time. Facts don't lie.
Foreign/international = worldwide minus domestic/North America
So domestic = NA, international = everywhere else, and worldwide = domestic + international

worldwide is foreign + domestic
From a new property perspective PR already did quite respectably, it's possible Legendary who fully owns the PR franchise wants to invest further on the franchise and goes for a sequel.
I'm sure he is crying into his millions if dollars while sleeping with lively....sounds like a tough life

I'm sure he wants a higher ceiling than that. He doesn't have your standards.

Reynolds doesn't strike me as a man who is in the biz for the art. I'm sure hes quite happy as long as he keeps getting parts.

I'm assuming "Scar" refers to Scarlett? If so, Avengers isn't the second highest grossing film ever. Am I missing something here?

Reynolds and Launter need to team-up in the ultimate bomb

It should be about the development of the Tsar Bomba.
They told them to make the biggest bomb the world has ever seen.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Another odd placing on the release schedule. I don't know, maybe they were planning more for home video and rental before Christmas. Who knows. The original didn't come out during summer, I don't know why they suddenly thought it was a blockbuster film.
everyone go buy Pacific Rim toys and the game app.
there are some small toys out right now, but these bad ass fuckers are coming out later.

In no way does Scott Pilgrim belong with the likes of SOAP or Sucker Punch. It's actually well written, superbly directed and just a well thought out & executed movie overall. The only bigger flaw is that it has Cera as a lead character. Though not everyone hates him, he's as far from lead man material as can possibly be.
