How is it weird? We've known this was gonna happen since June. And brace yourself... Star Wars: The Force Awakens is on the way. If ANY movie is gonna dethrone James Cameron, it'll be that. |

No it's just surprising to me I guess, it over took "The Avengers" one of the biggest anticipated Comic book ideas in History... Iconic to see them all on the screen together... was dethroned by Dinasours that get loosed in a park... Again... it's baffling...

I was looking the other day and I didn't realize Furious 7 was the fifth highest grossing film of all time. $1.512 billion, I'm in the wrong business.

Furious 7 also dealt with a death of a main actor, even if many people weren't big fans of the franchise, they still went to the movie because of curiously how they will handle the film since he died while filming. Others went because they actually enjoy the series.

Too close to call? Ant-Man and Pixels grossed $24 million this weekend. We're gonna have to wait for final numbers tomorrow to know who's #1. SnoBorderZero WyldstaarPaper Towns, Southpaw and The Vatican Tapes flopped. PhantomKnightJurassic World officially surpassed The Avengers domestically AND internationally. It is now the 3rd highest grossing movie of all time - unadjusted for inflation. Jibbs Dracula PG Cooper FShuttari Opening on Wednesday is the Vacation reboot/sequel. @dukeleto .

Naa it will do great overseas, especially in the Japanese market when it is released mid August. Probably enough for a couple of sequels and a video game based on the movie. |

SnoBorderZero @dukeleto FShuttariFinal numbers are in. Ant-Man - $24.9 million ($106.2 million) Pixels - $24 million Pixels grossed $25.4 million internationally. Its worldwide total is $49.4 million. Pixels budget was only $88 million, so yeah, it'll make a profit just based on foreign countries. That's probably the secret to Adam Sandler's success. He keeps the budgets low enough.

More power to him though. If I could take 88 million, turn it into 150+ million and having people hate me for it just because they think I am not artistic enough, well hate away ladies.

I was reading about M. Night last night, and it explained why he's still getting work, and it's the same reason as Sandler. He keeps the budget low enough and depends on the foreign market. Even After Earth wasn't the financial disaster that people think. It grossed $243 million worldwide on a $130 million budget. Yeah, if you throw in marketing and distribution, the movie didn't actually make a profit but it wasn't a huge flop either. Blu-Ray sales and TV rights probably helped it break even. But should we reward M. Night cause he found a loop hole? At some point we gotta stop supporting people who half-ass everything they do. |

I've heard people tell me that The Happening made more money than you'd think overseas because it wasn't so bad once the bizare performances were dubbed over. Go figure. After Earth also made way more money than you'd think overseas (and by "way more" I mean $183 million foreign vs. 60 million domestic) and The Last Airbender also inexplicably made a lot of money, so to date his only real flop was Lady in the Water, which made $70 worldwide on a $70 million budget plus marketing. |

Well if you see the selection of movies made in some of those countries that support some of our crap, you will understand why they pay for Sandler and M. Night's work.

I've heard people tell me that The Happening made more money than you'd think overseas because it wasn't so bad once the bizarre performances were dubbed over. That makes sense. A lot of movies probably benefit from that. That's probably why Italians liked to post-synchronize everything. I was reading about The Bicycle Thief a few weeks ago, after watching the movie, and apparently that's not the actors voice in the actual Italian version. The guy wasn't even an actor. He was just some factory worker that the director found and he hired a real actor to dub his voice. The James Bond movies also used to do that. They'd surround Sean Connery with a bunch of foreign actors and actresses - so it could appeal to worldwide audiences - and hire people to dub them. Sometimes they would even rehire the same dubber for subsequent movies. That's why there's several characters who sound the same even though they're physically played by different actors and actresses. It's an interesting... manipulation... by the filmmakers. That's probably where the term "we'll fix it in post" originated. |

THIS WEEK IN BOX OFFICE HISTORYHappy 20th anniversary to Waterworld, The Net and Operation Dumbo Drop. Otherwise known as Doomsday 's three favorite movies. Waterworld, despite its reputation, actually opened at #1 in the box office and stayed there for two weeks. The problem with Waterworld is that it cost $175 million to make, which was outrageous for the early-to-mid 1990's. So when it only grossed $88.2 million domestically - $164.7 million adjusted for inflation - it was considered a MASSIVE flop and destroyed Kevin Costner's A-list career. However... Waterworld did gross $264.2 million worldwide, so it didn't actually flop as spectacularly as the press would love you to believe. Once you factor in home media and TV rights, Waterworld did end up making a profit. So the reality is that Waterworld is actually responsible for Hollywood's current business model: if all else fails, rely on the foreign market.

I think Sandler should make Wedding Singer 2 and get back into what his best comedy was. Him and a guitar was gold in the s and l days.

Jibbs Doomsday Dracula PG Cooper SnoBorderZero PhantomKnight IanTheCoolTOM CRUISE'S 19-YEAR RIVALRY TO JAMES BOND For 33 years, the James Bond franchise never had any true rivals. Even the critically acclaimed spy movies were ultimately forgotten by the masses through the passage of time. Then came Tom Cruise and the Mission: Impossible series. The first installment was sandwiched in-between GoldenEye and Tomorrow Never Dies in 1996. It was the 3rd highest grossing film of the year with $180.9 million - or $332.4 million when adjusted for inflation. By comparison, GoldenEye made $106.4 million ($198.1 million adjusted) and Tomorrow Never Dies topped that with $125.3 million ($218.5 million adjusted). Pierce Brosnan was clearly no match for one of the biggest stars in the world. The sequel to Mission: Impossible was released in 2000, a year after The World Is Not Enough, and was an even bigger hit than its predecessor. It grossed $215.4 million and also ranked 3rd for the year. Although, adjusted for inflation, it was less successful with $324.5 million. The World Is Not Enough had a similar fate. It grossed $126.9 million which is $201.8 million adjusted for inflation. This would be the last rivalry between Tom Cruise and Pierce Brosnan since it took 6 years for Cruise to make another Mission: Impossible. In the meantime, Brosnan starred in Die Another Day, which despite its criticism, ended up being his highest grossing James Bond movie. It grossed $160.9 million in 2002 - or $223.9 million when adjusted for inflation. Pierce Brosnan being the #2 spy in American cinema didn't make the producers happy and his contract wasn't renewed. So a new and totally different James Bond debut in the form of Daniel Craig in 2006. This would also be a year that saw a third Mission: Impossible be released, so for the first time, these two franchises were in direct competition. Mission: Impossible III had the misfortune of coming out in a time when Tom Cruise's personal life was being ridiculed by the public and media, so the film suffered as a result. As of now, it's the lowest grossing installment in the series with $134 million ($166.1 million adjusted). Casino Royale made $167.4 million ($206.4 million adjusted). James Bond was #1 again, even though it sold less tickets than two Pierce Brosnan movies and had an unfair advantage over its competitor. The financial disappointment of Mission: Impossible III, plus Tom Cruise ending his long-running relationship with Paramount, meant there wouldn't be another sequel for 5 years. In that period, Daniel Craig starred in the follow-up to Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace. Fans weren't thrilled with the film, but it made slightly more money due to increased ticket prices. That same year, Tom Cruise began his career resurgence with a supporting role in the hit comedy, Tropic Thunder. That good faith with audiences led all the way to Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol in 2011 which grossed $209.3 million ($215.8 million adjusted). It was a bigger success than both of Daniel Craig's James Bond films and made Mission: Impossible a true rival again. Then things got interesting the following year. Skyfall, released on the 50th anniversary of the James Bond franchise, grossed $304.3 million domestically and $1.1 billion worldwide. That massive success puts a lot of pressure on the two competitors. Tom Cruise has done a great job of keeping the Mission: Impossible series alive for 19 years and many times has topped the contemporary James Bond movies, but it has never had the same cultural impact as its rival. Meanwhile, Daniel Craig and the filmmakers have to live-up to Skyfall. And to make things more interesting, for the second time, these two heavyweights are in direct competition. The difference now is that Tom Cruise has improved his relationship with the public and the media and is following in the footsteps of a popular installment of his signature franchise. So who will win the battle of the spies in 2015, Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation or Spectre? We'll start getting answers tomorrow when Rogue Nation opens in theaters. Spectre will be released in November. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE vs. JAMES BOND (ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION)1. Mission: Impossible (1996) - $332.4 million 2. Mission: Impossible II (2000) - $324.5 million 3. Skyfall (2012) - $307 million 4. Die Another Day (2002) - $223.9 million 5. Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) - $218.5 million 6. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol - $215.8 million 7. Casino Royale (2006) - $206.4 million 8. The World Is Not Enough (1999) - $201.8 million 9. GoldenEye (1995) - $198.1 million 10. Quantum of Solace (2008) - $190.4 million 11. Mission: Impossible III - $166.1 million
