I know, was just referring to the production budget. Even then, it should be profitable post-marketing this weekend.
Is President day that big for movies?

I actually loved it. Costume porn turned up to 11. And it's feminist as fuck too.
It is fairly big. But having no school/work on Monday boosts the Sunday evening shows.
Why would anyone make a movie that involves Rock in any way. It's a dead genre. May as well make a movie involving Jazz to go die in theaters.
Isn't the plot of LaLaLand white guy does jazz good?
Do any of the box-office GAF mods know when xaosslug's ban is done? He's still banned as of now, so I am assuming that I am filling in again for tomorrow's thread. It would be helpful to know if he will be missing many more weeks beyond that though!
Boxoffice.com updated their long term forecast again.
They bumped Logan up to $81M OW, and $225M total
It doesn't look like there are many other notable changes.
Katherine Heigl's attempt to restart her career post-kitty litter commercials is one of the newly forecasted movies at $10M OW, $23.5M total. It doesn't look like it will live up to its title of Unforgettable.

Random Posts for this thread, but finally got around to seeing Arrival and I was totally blown away. What a film.
Is it nominated for any cinematography awards? It is shot beautifully

Yes. Bradford Young became the second black cinematographer in history to be nominated for that award I believe. The first time was Remi Adefarasin for Elizabeth in 1998.
EDIT: Young is also doing the Han Solo prequel.

Better reviewed and potentially better liked film makes more money. If only that kind of justice was always delivered.

Calling it - Paul W.S. Anderson's Monster Hunter film is going to crack $500+M off the China/Japan/international gross, and make less than $50M in America.
From the ashes of that film, Mangold built a better one.
Weekend estimate for Resident Evil 6 in China is $94M.
Technically the biggest opening weekend ever for a hollywood film, but only because Furious 7 opened on a Sunday, and both Age of Ultron and Warcraft opened in the middle of the week.
$94M is also the biggest single territory release of the year so far, including domestic. Beauty and the Beast will likely take that title in coming weeks though.
Edit: As was the case with Warcraft, the Chinese gross for RE6 will be larger than the rest of the worldwide gross combined.

Yeah. Monster Hunter will do well.
Tencent Pictures will probably foot the bill for half or most of the budget in exchange for all the China gross. Milla will get a prominent role.

The Chinese market is an absolute mystery to me.
China seems to be saving a bunch bad to mediocre movies lately.
Looking at top grosses for 2017:
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?view2=worldwide&yr=2017&p=.htm
XXX Xander Cage did 137 million in China and Great Wall 170 million.
The RE number has not been updated for China yet so that will shoot up the charts.

Really, it's because brainless action can easily cross language barriers. The success of Transformers in China highlights that.
Unless they recorded some Chinese exclusive footage, no.
This is crazy. RE The Final Chapter is a horrible movie on almost every metric. I wonder if the people at Sony are going to get one more movie out of the old crew with numbers like this.

She was going to stay in 6 but because Li Bingbing wouldn't promote 5 in Japan or something they wrote her out just like Jill and Leon.
They marketed her for 5 like crazy.

Transformers also had nostalgia appeal there, which is something Star Wars lacked.
Maybe Resident Evil has the same appeal?
It's still a success, and it's still got Japan coming up, should give it a decent boost.
Japan should boost Moana over $600m and a bp win tonight for La La Land should have it hit $400m. Well deserved for both, great movies.

That's her grappling hook gun from RE4 (the game).
It's a grappling gun.
EDIT: Late, but yeah. It and her look are based on RE4 (the game) Ada.
