after how much they put into it, they will force it no matter how.

Universal doesn't give a shit about US market, and they go for worldwide release. Even if they fail, they always bring these monster once for 20 years or so, since 30s.

30s-40s
break
60s-70s
break
90s-2000s
break
2020s-2030s
next reboot should be around 2040s, then 2060s

>>87367115
Angry about USA not being the most relevant market anymore.

>>87366911
Well pretty much everyone thought it was a fucking joke

>>87367111
>hurr durr Brendan's is the only Mummy movie
Shut. Your. Mouth.

>>87367003
>double budget for marketing
>take off percentage from domestic since studios don't get the whole thing, take off larger percentage from foreign because studios get even less of that
Eh, looks like a flop to me. Studios don't want to spend $200+mil and only get a few tens in profit in return, if that.

>>87366623
>The tale is set in 1868, where a 21-year old Bram Stoker meets with an ungodly evil that he traps in an ancient tower all the while scribbling the events that led him there.
Moar liek a 21-year old Bram Stoker reads Lord Byron, Polidori and LeFanu's stuff and fanfics their stuff.

That sounds like a horrible concept for a movie. If they want to do a Dracula prequel why not make some pseudo fantasy biopic about Vlad the Impaler?

The shekel lords can't back down now, they'll go full Sony.

Chinks have awful taste in movies, thus bad movies keep getting made.

>>87367228
Such a brainlet post

>>87367003

Super flop. Didn't even make its own budget back domestically? Fucked.

The simple fact you thought like this proves me right.

>The tale is set in 1868, where a 21-year old Bram Stoker meets with an ungodly evil that he traps in an ancient tower all the while scribbling the events that led him there.

Is this ungodly evil a hot succubus that will femdom Dracula? This is important.

>Super flop.

This is getting fucking ridiculous with the Reddit accounting.

Budget 125 mil, 407 mil gross, that's a flop now? Do you imbeciles realize the entire movie business would be shut down already if this were true? Even the few remaining hits according to your accounting isn't enough to make up the difference in the flops then.

Of course these things make money, they keep being produced. You can tell when it stops making money because they stop making them. Economics isn't a big mystery on this level.

>>87367330
Forever Knight, maybe. I haven't watched it since a couple eps as a kid.

>>87367358
>videogames

>>87367572
125mil budget with 407mil gross worldwide is a flop, yes. It's really surprisingly high foreign vs. domestic but a flop nonetheless. It's not about accounting but relative to other films.

>>87367235
from before release:
>insiders say a $40 million bow (plus a strong overseas haul) would be enough to move forward with the universe as planned

why Tom Cruise
>And the film is expected to do the majority of its business abroad, where Cruise continues to be a major draw. The Mummy will open day-and-date in more than 60 markets, including China.
>box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian. "If you look at [Universal's] Fate of the Furious, 80 percent of its box office came from international. Tom Cruise is an international superstar, and he remains so.
>Cruise's character will recur in the universe.

marketing:
>Comcast, Universal's parent company, is giving the film its so-called Symphony marketing push in the U.S. in which multiplatform divisions work together to promote a single project.

After terrible reviews and underperforming in US, expected 350 mil worldwide max, but it topped 400.

in next week comes DVD/BluRay, and this is where movie gonna shine. Tom Cruise is undisputed king of home box office. Even shitty "Oblivion" - one of weakest Box Office for Tom Cruise, became top-selling DVD.

TL:DR
from insiders analysit, movie had to pass:
65 mill domestic
278 mill worldwide
anything above is already profit, DVD/BluRay gonna make it shine

>>87367665
Serious question, check the catalog

why so many frogs on the catalog?

>>87367821
because mods are dead and this place turns into complete shit without them.

>>87367853
This is what freedom looks like. Praise Anarchy.

So, a copy of Interview with the Vampire? That might turn out okay.

I'm honestly kind of surprised there aren't more Dracula movies being made, the book is public domain and people still like the character.

Production budget is 125mil, they never include marketing costs so rule of thumb is to add roughly what the production budget is for marketing expenditures.
400 mil gross is how much it got, but the studio doesn't get all of the money. Theaters get a cut for a example. Studios get a bigger cut of the domestic gross than they do the foreign. Weren't there issues recently with China paying up or something? They had to get an auditor?
On top of that is the issue of opportunity cost. These studios want these big blockbusters to rake in crazy cash, maybe even need them if they're having a bad year. If these big budget movies make too little, it becomes bad business since there could've been better uses of that money (and maybe of that property). Of course better to make something than nothing or straight out lose money, but that's an expectation, not a triumph.

Byzantium is pretty close, there's a concept of masquerade in it and a "organization" that upholds it.

>>87371589
Sort of close, yeah. Interesting movie.
