naw this film is a for sure flop
With A 150 M budget and at least 100 M in Marketing
It needs to break at least 400 M(probably 450M) just to Break even
there is Zero Chance of that happening..
Pac Rim 2 will Maybe make 70 M Domestically total...and around 250 to 300 Million Overseas(Maybe Less)
Please think before responding queen, you always respond with "did you just say ......."
and exactly what I said always end up coming true
China Will be PR2s biggest market, unfortunately Universal/Legendary only receives about 25% on that gross...on a positive note...Universal wont be on the hook here, Legendary paid near all of the budget.
Also good thing WB took a pass on PR2, dodged a bullet on this one, can you imagine if WB had both Tomb Raider and Rac Rim 2 Flop in back to back weeks coming off a year of massive flops like Blade Runner, Geostorm, King Arthur and Justice League
WBs got to be thankful right now that they past, now they are just Disappointed and depressed with ONLY 1 Flop in Tomb Raider instead of 2
PS...Nothing about this films Long term prospects look good, I can guarantee you right now, the execs running Legendary are deeply upset and already preparing for a HUGE LOSS
you said the exact same thing when Justice League came out, you made the same exact thread claiming even though reviews are bad the movie was a Universal Crowd Pleaser,you predicted because it was such a crown pleaser JL would exceed expectation and open over 150 Million +, You later changed that to 133 M, then 115 M, then 100 M..then when you finally realized JL was gonna open at a pathetic 94 M, You claimed with JL being such a crown pleaser it would bode Well for Long Term Prospects, predicting Word Of Mouth would be great and JL would have incredible Holds especially over Thanksgiving, of course JL had awful Thanksgiving drops simlar to "Twilight"..the film ultimately was in no way a Crowd Pleaser, no way had great word of mouth and The Long Term Prospects that you predicted would be great were in fact AWFUL at a pathetic 657 M total...
Worth also noting that even though Black Panther got ALL TIME great reviews and received the Rare A+ cinemascore which both strongly suggested Word of mouth and holds were going to be Fantastic and suggests Long term Prospects for BP was going to be great...
You somehow predicted and claimed otherwise, claiming BP was going to be frontloaded, have bad holds, and fail to make more than Wonder Woman's 412 M domestic gross, which you later changed to AOUs 459 M domestic gross, which you then changed again to BP wont make 500 M domestically...
in conclusion...You may be the worst predictor of a films long terms prospects of all time....With BOTH Justice League and Black Panther you failed as badly as you can fail at opposite ends of the spectrum....With JL, everything pointed to JLs long term prospects being DIRE and awful, yet you claimed it was going to do fantastic...With BP, everything pointed to BPs long term prospects being Great, yet you claimed it was going to fall apart...
your Pac Rim 2 long term prospects are just as bad...
Give up, You only are embarrassing yourself

Once again, you prove yourself to be a disingenuous liar. You have been told many times that WB had ZERO skin in the game for Blade Runner and you sheepishly acknowledge that fact when confronted but then go back the next day talking about how much they lost on it. They were the North American DISTRIBUTOR and that's it. The sad fact is that you keep repeating the same lie.
You say you have such a strong case against WB and their lack of profits so why do you feel the need to be willfully deceptive. And yet, you point out how Universal hardly has much invested in Pacific Rim(rumored to be 10%) compared to WB's ZERO% in Blade Runner.
In the same vein, it's been pointed out to you that WB only was a third party in regards to Geostorm's budget.

Theres not a single thing a lied about...The facts are WB has had 5 Massive Flops now...If you want to come up with ways why WB lost "Less" money in these Flops, thats fine....but the facts are WB was involved With these flops, and All parties involved lost money, some more than others, JL and King Arthur were just Colossal Flops for WB where they Lost HUNDREDS of millions of dollars, Blade Runner WB Lost Money just not to the extent of JL and KA...
But heres the part you dont understand..Blade Runner did Lose WB money, In fact WB got the worst of it!
Sony brokered a deal that aloud them to get recoup their Investment before everyone else...whatever money BR2049 made, Sony got first dibs on it until they broke even, Then everyone else split the profit, Since Blade Runner made no profit, that means whatever WB put in, They 100% LOST...and that could be ALOT considering WB paid for Marketing...
you are right, Sony paid for the 155 Million Budget...But WB likely put in at least 100 Million for Marketing, which WB lost.
again I'm not lying about anything...You are just desperately trying to find way to make it look like WB LOST LESS...JL and King Arthur are colossal BOMBS that you cant spin, Blade Runner you tried to spin but didnt correctly understand the results...
my point still 100% stands and theres truly not one thing you can do about it and its KILLING you!....WB has had all its profits DEVOURED from Wonder Woman and "It" from a string of Massive BOMBS(Blade Runner, Geostorm, JL, King Arthur and now Tomb Raider)...
meanwhile Disney has produced 5 films that grossed over 1 Billion and 3 that grossed over 800 M and didnt even notice the losses from Wrinkle...
again...this is your fault...Your trolling has Doomed you!
your desperate attempts to troll on Disney has backed you into a corner you cant come back from...
I've taken every single thing you said, every desperate trolling Scale and Criteria you've came up with to try and troll on Disney and APPLIED it to WB.....and the results are ....YOUR DOOM!
you literally cant Win....anything you try to say about Disney, any desperate scale you come up with, I'll just Apply it to WB and show WB is LOSING worse than Disney....

LOL...100 million for marketing?!?!?!
Maybe for Worldwide marketing but hardly that much for North America alone. Sony distributed and MARKETED it in all other markets in the world.

all your doing at this point is trying to come up with way on how WB LOST LESS money...
the facts are WB was involved, they Marketed the film, however much they put in...They 100% LOST...
Sony had a deal in place where, no one get any money back until SONY breaks even...after Sony breaks even, They everyone else splits the profit...
Blade Runner made Zero Profit...therefor WB LOST 100% of whatever they put in...
lol you cant even "Spin" correctly...your trying your hardest to Spin these disastrous FLOPs, but you dont correctly understand the details ...
