How long about do you think they will be filming in Atlanta? It's been worrying me that I won't be able to make it because its a Tuesday.

We all can hope for the best. Hope #DumbTo will be a great comedy, that should be marketed well to strike gold at boxoffice. And hope Jim doesn't take much time off. I want to see him starring back to back in good scripted movies.grinchy steve wrote:I guess it's just the realistic tone of that specific post that gives the impression.TNPihl wrote:I think you judge the movies too hard Steven. I think both "Yes Man" and "Mr. Popper's Penguins" did good at the box office. In total they grossed more than $410 million worldwide. It is actually good, also from total budgets of $120 million.Since I defended the results of both movies before, I know they didn't do bad at all. But there's a difference between a big hit and the solid ones as "Popper" and "Yes Man". When a not-doing-that-good ("Number 23"), two solid ones ("Popper", "Yes Man") and a movie nobody saw (as a matter of speaking, "Phillip Morris") are being followed up with a flop ("Wonderstone") and not-doing-that-well-either ("Kick-Ass 2"), there is no question he needs a true hit to keep his status as a huge A-list man alive. I'm not saying the danger is around the corner at this moment, but a lot will depend on the following projects. Ofcours he's far from becoming the next Eddie Murphy, no doubt.
They invested a lot in the promotion of Kick-Ass 2, no doubt about that. As a box-office-mojo addict (I'm sure you are also), I can tell that the average production needs to make a certain + percentage to become profitable. For example, when the production budget is 100 milion, it needs to make 170 <> 175 milion to get out of the costs, promotion etc. Then it becomes profitable. But when you "earn" 10 milion in a case like that, it's hard to call it profitable. There are 49 territories. KA2 has been released in 30. Unless it does a "Pacific Rim" (US was screaming "FLOP!", didn't believe it with China release coming up, was right about it) ... it won't be that profitable. And it sure ain't a hit. Just keeping it's head above the water. Ofcours, if KA2 does the same as the first one, it could be a very huge hit on the BLU RAY, DVD, VOD charts. That's why they greenlighted the second one in the first place. But the first one had a very strong and positive mouth-to-mouth effect, the second one hasn't."The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" flopped big! "Kick-Ass 2" is doing lower than I expected, but it has grossed around $60 million at this time, and still many countries on the list. It will be lower than the original movie, but the budget was just $28 million. I think they did a good job in the promotion.
About "Burt Wonderstone", indeed. That's what I mean. Didn't do well in the US, the result being WB pulled it back out of theatres in a lot of foreign areas. While Jim still scores big outside the US. I guess the chance of that happening (not releasing it, I mean) would not have been happened if the movie was released after two big hits. Ofcours, none of us can tell for sure, but ... it's what I believe / think.
I sure hope so. I do believe it will have a solid score at the box-office, but I wonder how much. A bit less? A huge hit? It's hard to tell ... This summer was proof that a lot of positive pre-buzz doesn't mean a thing. Let's hope together.I will not believe that "Dumb & Dumber To" can gross less than $100 million just in USA. He has more than 11 million Twitter followers, most of all actors in Hollywood. Everytime there are news from "Dumb & Dumber To" it gets lots of likes and comments. It will be huge, I just hope the production will continue to update us during filming, so there will be news and stories until the premiere.Should be a hit, can't see why not. And then there's the fact the previous one is 20 years old and I have my doubts.
