WB can't get it right this year, Tomb Raider was a flop, RP1 will cover its budget or have a minor profit at best, and now Rampage with not so favorable reviews and a stiff competition coming its way. Rampage might have a decent OW when the WW market comes in play (China) cause let's be real Rock + a giant gorilla = audience interest, but its holds will suffer judging by its current ratings.

Considering the subject matter a 6.4 seems pretty high, might actually watch it when it hits blu.

2.4 million Thursday portends for an opening well above Boxofficemojo's projections.

40 million is the floor and China is a red-hot 16 million opening day.

Remember also that production budget is only 120 million.

lololol somehow you made it the worst possible embarrassment...

You could have said "Nope things look great, a 40 Million OW is coming"

Or "at this point, I think 40 M is Possible"

but you just HAD to say "FLOOR"

you just had to say something that would make you look like a complete IDIOT if Rampage MISSED 40 M....

By saying "40 million is the floor"...it could have made 38 M and you still would have looked DUMB, because the FLOOR means, the absolute LEAST it could possibly make, It means you can not imagine ANY SCENARIO where Rampage makes Less than 40 M...

lol but Rampage didnt just slightly MISS 40 M.....no to you HORROR and embarrassment it missed by 6 M!....lol reports are coming at at 34 M!

talk about putting you foot in your mouth...

once again you miss understood box office...this just happened last month, I tried explaining to you what you did wrong, and you did it again!

last month you thought because Tomb Raider had a bigger Thursday opening than Wrinkle, it meant Tomb Raider was guaranteed to have the bigger opening weekend....I tried explaining to you the difference here is The AUDIENCE...

Tomb Raider played to younger teenage audiences, Couples on dates and most importantly Tomb Raider PLayed to a Hardcore Fan base in Gamers...this Hardcore Fans base is the reason why, Tomb Raider Opened Higher than Wrinkle on Thursday, This audience/crowd is much more likely to go see the film as soon as possible, Die Hard Gamers and Fans of Tomb raider Will rush to see the film on the earlier possible screenings...Wrinkle simply didnt have or play to that audience...It played to families...not many parents are going to take young children to see Wrinkle late on a Thursday , on a school night to see Wrinkle...The Majority Will wait until the weekend...but Hardcore Gamers Will rush to see TR on Thursdays...

I explained this to you...your not very smart when it comes to box office I'm sure the thought of what kind of audiences actually sees these movies never even crossed your mind...

But I layed it out for you a month ago...yet stunningly you made the same exact mistake again !

You saw Rampages Thursday gross, Saw it was higher than expected and Just immediately assumed it was going to exceed expectations without ever once stopping to think about Why Rampage had a good Thursday Gross...

Its The Audience you gigantic Idiot!

the audience that Sees Rampage is A Younger Crowd, Rampage PLays to Gamers, Rampage is an Old Game and doesnt have a huge hardcore fan base, But it plays to All Gamers, Tomb Raider,Resident Evil, a lot of Gamers that like Movies based on Video games would probably give Rampage a try...and These gamers like to see films early

lol try to learn from past mistake queen...Yes I enjoy making fun of you...but believe it or not...You can actually learn from me Destroying you!



lets also not get to excited about China...You desperately tried to USE CHINA With Tomb Raider and Pacific Rim 2 Too....

and those films ended up being HUGE FLOPS...

they both Opened to Awful opening Weekends...which you then tried to claim didnt matter because they were "Crowd PLeaser and would have Great Long Term Prospects" but They Both Completely DIED domestically making LESS than 60 M..

you then Tried to claim they were RED HOT in China and All would be Ok...Instead they both had decent grosses in China but still ended up having Pathetic Results everywhere and BOTH film failed to make 300 M WW...Both Had Budgets Over 100 M and Marketing Over 100M, BOth Needed to make at least 400 M WW just to Break even...Both didnt even make 300 M...

also, to your Horror, 2 out of the 3 films were Made by WB...Both TR and Rampage were hopeful Franchise Starters for WB...where they put Massive Money in hoping for now only 1 successful film but Several....Instead BOTH FLOPPED Badly in the span of a month....

made all the more worse for YOU and especially WB, TR and Rampage Flopping only adds to a year of Massive and Numerous FLOPS by WB....if you add Tomb Raider and Rampage, its 6 Massive Flops in the span of 18 Months..FLOPS that certainly DEVOURED every cent of profit WB from their few hits like Wonder Woman and "IT"

but just wanted to have one more giant laugh at you saying "40 Million is the floor"

ONLY you could fail that badly, Only you wouldnt wait just 2 more hours for projections to come in that would have shown you Rampage is coming in at 32-34 M....

now heres that giant laugh-

lolololololollolololololollolololololollolololololollolololololollololol

lol why respond to a post you didnt read?

lol it seems much more likely you actually read my post, it bothered you and you then intentionally replied back saying its too long in an attempt to make fun of me...

if my post truly was too long for you and you didnt read, thats means you literally looked at it for a split second saw the length and immediately decided not to read it and would have then just immediately moved on...

it would have meant nothing to you, you would of had no reason at all to reply to a post that at max you spent half a second looking at...

Instead, you decided to stop, Hit reply and Type out a response...the only reason to do this is....You actually read my post and wanted to reply with a hurtful response because my post bothered you...

Do yourself a favor...and prove you really didnt read this new post and dont respond at all!

Hey queen....did you hear Rampage is FLOPPING HUGE with a 32 million opening?

lol far from your "40 Million is the Floor" prediction, actually when you say "Floor" that more than a prediction, thats pretty much a guarantee?

poor WB just cant catch a break....2 MASSIVE flops in a month with 2 different video game movies....

turns out box office.com NAILED IT....remember 10 days when I told you Boxoffice.com was predicting Rampage to flop with a 35 M opening and You desperately tried to claim BO.com was always wrong and that no way a movie with The Rock the #1 movie star in the world would open that low or flop...

lol anyways....you lost here again, but the real LOSER is WB....this is now 6 Massive Flops in the span of 18 Months....WB clearly had High hopes for BOTH Tomb Raider and Rampage as Possible Franchise starters...now BOTH are dead after FLOPPING...

I did some research On Rampage...It was co financed, Its budget was 120 M, Marketing is probably around 100 M, The Rocks Salary is a killer when his movies Flops considering he gets 15 to 20 M upfront Plus first dollar gross on the back end and Worse off WB had to pay 33 Million All on its own for the rights to the movie...

All in All this Will result in WB Losing a TON of Money on Rampage, More than "New Line" that Co Fianced it

Basically not even you can spin this queen...total disaster for WB

reply

Another idiotic post from Bill Brown.

Hey Bill ...while you're talking about how much better A Wrinkle in Time is doing compared to Tomb Raider and PR2...ya might want to check the WORLDWIDE totals.

Wrinkle is the VERY DEFINITION of a horrible flop with a production budget of well-over-100 million and it won't even come close to "sniffing" 150 million!

Laugh all you want about TR's box office all you want but it's a stunning success compared to Wrinkle.

Wrinkle's box office= OUCH!

Looks like a flop at #2. Infinity War will terminate it, around $100m domestic. Do the Chinese like giant monkeys?

‘Rampage’ to Debut Behind ‘A Quiet Place’ in Muted Opening Weekend http://www.imdb.com/news/ni62001407

Dwayne Johnson’s action-fantasy “Rampage” is heading for downbeat North American opening weekend of about $27 million to $32 million at 3,950 locations, early estimates showed Friday.

reply

China likes their giant monkeys! BO Mojo:

Meanwhile, Rampage has thus far brought in an estimated $36.7 million internationally after debuting overseas on Thursday. Leading the way is China with an estimated $15.6 million on Friday, including sneak previews, with expectations for a $21.2 million on Saturday.

reply

Original projection was dead on.
Domestic $34m + international $114m = $149m.
Will be over $300m when infinity war debuts.

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=4389&p=.htm

Leading the way was an estimated $55 million opening in China followed by the UK ($5.7m), Korea ($5.7m), Mexico ($4.8m) and Malaysia ($3.5m). The film will open in France on May 2 followed by releases in Germany (May 10) and Japan (May 18).

Box office.com is already saying that "profitability is all but assured" this morning.

A nice win for not only WB...but also The Rock.
