I was hoping Creed would do better. It´s a great movie.
A re-release a few months is not going to make $100M. Even those 10-20 years later special edition/3D re-releases struggled to do much better than that other than the special edition for A New Hope, Titanic 3D and the Lion King 3D.
We don't have numbers for Rocky 1-3 overseas. Rocky 4 did $300M. Creed is over Rocky 5 and Balboa.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Alright, at least DWA will get their 40% cut, still though, it seems that the growth story for China has come to a halt - expectations were way too high.

It did fine, but Sony was only licensed the one film. There are currently no plans to make a follow-up anytime soon, and Schulz's estate has said they're probably not gonna entertain the option for probably another decade.
It was a one & done.
I know, Boxy. Like I said, my curiosity was whether Warners was putting it back there, or whether theater owners were taking the initiative. Turns out it's apparently the latter.
so far as Force Awakens re-releases, the Blu-Ray is scheduled for the first week of April, according to Disney's own website, so I don't think there's going to be a re-release between now and then, and even if there was (with footage for Rogue One attached) there's no way said promotional footage is going to be enough of a draw to overcome the 100-120 million it'd need to get over Titanic worldwide.
Commercials don't make you that much money (or really, money at all, as discussed at the end of last week's thread) at the box-office, and the film won't have been gone long enough to have created an absence/longing all that exploitable.

At least Kung Fu Panda opened in first this time.
I'll try to catch it next weekend, I've been busy this weekend.

That's kind of a shame, but it was a great standalone movie so I'm fine with it.
Most of the growth has been for local films recently, but Hollywood films are still doing better than ever. I think people need to stop thinking that Furious 7's bump (and Age of Ultron or Jurassic World to a lesser extent) will apply to everything.
Kung Fu Panda 2 made $92M in China. If this ones ends at $140-150M, that's still a big bump. DWA's take also goes from $18M on KFP2 to $55-60M on this film. I don't know if that was worth the investment they made into their Chinese branch, but it might pay off in the future.
Doesn't look all that promising. The film only made $10M worldwide in the past week. That means it has ~$33M left to go.
But none of those re-releases had NEW footage!
Also, Creed over Rocky 5 and Balboa is good news, as it was way better than those two films.

To test Chris Pratt's stardom, make a film about the guy on a boat and see what happens.

It was a fantastic standalone movie and truly a love letter to all things Peanuts
even if the Red Baron parts lingered a little too long, IMO
One and done is perfect.
IDK about CREED being "way better" than Balboa. Rocky V is a given.
I actually don't think it's that good of an opening...unless expectations are so low after the disappointing KFP2: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/franchises/chart/?id=kungfupanda.htm
Worldwide it will do great again though.

The treatment of dr seuss properties over the years probably gives everyone some hesitation.
You watched Point Break?
He said it's his last parody movie, so we can thank the good lord for that.

I was wondering if there would be softer drops this weekend, after the east coast was snowed in last weekend. Sure looks like it - great holds all around, especially for the Revenant and TFA.
It occurred to me that while it's only a footnote, TFA has long passed Titanic's initial theatrical run; the 3D reissue is what puts Titanic over it at this point. TFA will be the second film behind Avatar to top $2b in its initial theatrical run.

It'll top it this week for sure.

Compared to KFP1 it's slightly disappointing I guess, but KFP3 numbers are closer to KFP1 for its first 3 days than KFP2 was to KFP1, so it's an improvement at least in that regard. KFP2 also had a summer release while this is a January release if that matters much at all. It will be interesting to see how this does worldwide compared to KFP1.
Honestly they can just have a re-release next year before Episode 8. They don't need to tack on RO footage.

My wife and I went to see The Finest Hours on Friday. The action portion of the movie was pretty intense. Difficult to imagine the stress of that night and the absolute luck/divine intervention required.

Wonder if TFA could still eek it's way to 950, fairly low drop this weekend and I got a feeling it could spend a while kicking about in the middle and lower reaches of the chart

I'm kind of surprised Brooklyn has done as well as it has, and I'm kind of surprised 13 Hours has done as poorly as it has.

So is revenant actually profitable or breaking even at this point? I would have never expected it to perform as it is.

Nobody's trolling it you oafs, they're lolling at the people that were thinking 3 billion plus
Arent they basically there to be yes men to Brocolli and Wilson?
Seems all the latest Bond movies are one "main" name writer (Haggis, Logan...) and then P&W
Beating a dead horse, again, is moronic. See Bobby's post, you fool.

Yep. I saw the original and that was corny af.
Reading reviews that say it made them wish for that one tells me all I need to know about it's quality.
Same thing with the remakes of Total Recall and Robocop (both of which I saw). I don't need to go this this remake to know it's shit.

Point Break is better than Creed.

Everyone knows the true peanuts are Daisy Ridley and John Boyega anyway
The issue is that they need good writers now, not yes men. Purvis & Wade are not good writers.
What he said.
And I still want to watch Point Break
for free on Netflix someday
