It has Oz on the tittle, no I don't think this will be a "bomba"
IF anything it will break even and let Raimi and Franco in decent position.
It'll probably do better than Return to Oz.
I love the concept but everything I have seen so far is looking 7.5/10ish to me. I don't even know what that means but that's how it feels.
how do you guys pronounce Bomba?
so its like, why does everything look like shit and not glossy CGI in the future now. its just such a jarring shift in visuals that doesnt make any sense. and then its awkward cuz the characters in the first one make no acknowledgement of new characters or events in the prequels.
i just really hate prequels.
IGN scale or real scale?
No Dorothy, no sale.
And I would rather have them make a movie adaptation of Wicked instead.
Problem with that is that unlike Alice, Wizard of Oz is not nearly as popular a book/property internationally as it is in the US.It looks just generic enough to be a safe bet overseas. I doubt it'll be a hit, and I doubt we'll see more "Oz" movies after this - but it should break even pretty easy. $40M opening, decent numbers through the following 5 weekends - and it'll be an easy sell in countries where Alice made bank.
I don't. It's maybe the single most mindless GAF-meme there is, and there are a lot.
This isn't really a prequel. I think it's a reboot. The idea is that if this works, we'll eventually get to a remake of Wizard.
Tracking is anywhere from 75-100m. Definitely should not be a bomba from that perspective.
for opening weekend?
From the trailers I've seen, it looks pretty awful. It looks like another big budget CG movie that provides nothing but eye candy.
I honestly hate this trend.
IGN scale or real scale?
It's going to be awful and make a lot of money.
Wicked the oz musical did huge business, so there's a demand there. Unless the movie is a complete mess I think it'll do really well, like Alice numbers well. It's the lone ranger and jack that I think are bombas.
