I noticed you got a buddy at another forum and he described you, illuminating your sexual identity crisis. You've got some serious psychological baggage, pal.

'SPECTRE' Producers So Desperate For Money

Post by Blowfeld »

Seems apt timing to share this again.
'SPECTRE' Producers So Desperate For Money They're Taking Millions To Make Mexico Look Better
Thanks to emails leaked by the hackers of Sony Pictures, we know that SPECTRE will cost around $350 million. If that number is shocking to you, it should be – it puts SPECTRE in serious contention for being the most expensive movie ever made.
It’s understandable why producers would be scrambling to offset the massive price tag of the movie. A $350 million tentpole project absolutely MUST make an enormous amount of money at the box office to be deemed even a little bit successful. Remember – nearly half of ticket sales worldwide go back to theaters, not movie studios. That doesn’t leave a lot of room for failure.

And that’s assuming the movie even makes it to a billion. If reviews are terrible – which, considering the criticism of the script, isn’t outside the realm of possibility – word-of-mouth could really hurt its profitability. Think The Amazing Spider-Man 2 only worse.

With a combined estimated production cost and global P&A upward of $350M, how much will Spectre need to gross to churn a profit? The math is fairly simple: Cut the domestic gross in half for the exhibitor split, [bt]he studio retains 40% of the overseas B.O., another 25% from China[/b] receipts that will kick in next weekend, and estimate the value of the ancillaries. Then place that up against the considerable budget and P&A spend.
Should Spectre be lucky enough to clear $1B, everyone will be flush, with a rental that’s between $410M-$425M. A $900M worldwide total also gets Spectre beyond break even; if it sky-falls much lower than that, Spectre might be relying heavily on worldwide TV and home entertainment for its profit margin. Industry estimates project Spectre home entertainment revenue at $170M with another $120M in global TV rights — and that’s before counting Mendes and star Daniel Craig’s participation.

I don't know the people involved, but it read to me like Alvin/Ron was trolling Trolly.

Look Atticus, you're dirt, you're filth, you're nothing, ok!

If you fancy yourself as a detective, don't bother; you have the intelligence of a fish, that's about to be stamped on. That forum, which you've directed us to, has diddly-squat to do with me. This person doesn't even construct his sentences, like I do. He doesn't sound anything like me.

Atticus, I don't know how old you are, but if I was you're father, I'd be so ashamed of you. Good God; if I was him, I'd kick your freaking nuts off!!!

India gross to date: $4,818,142. South African totals aren't up yet, after that, there is just Japan to go.

Has Spectre had an average/normal box office take? I think Skyfall made more money than usual for Bond?

It's on a par with other recent Bond films (except Skyfall). But it went massively over budget. Production costs alone were in the region of $350 million, and that doesn't include promotional and distribution costs. It needed to top Skyfall's box office in order to show a profit.

According to Box Office Mojo & Wikipedia, the production budget was $245 million.

The production budget for Quantum of Solace, back in 2008 money, was $200 million.

I find it hard to believe that Spectre was promoted any more than any other Bond movie from the past. So, making that a point of discussion, whilst debating the overall net profit that Spectre, may earn itself in the end, seems futile.

There's been plenty of Bond movies over the past, which have also, gone over budget; nothing unusual about that, either!

I agree . Looking at from dad to sp, SF is the only real odd ball.

I think the franchise could pull the same numbers with today Moore dalton or Brosnan . Maybe lazenby. Connery is in his own league based on the true bondbania that happened with him.

$245 million is the official figure. The emails leaked in the Sony hack tell a different story.

I think EON et al were counting on billion dollar grosses being the new normal. SPECTRE's gross must be a disappointment for them, however their new social media intern tries to spin it.

Wikipedia and bo mojo promote the official line which is spin and does not have to be accurate. You'll find plenty of other films who insiders leak the cost and the numbers on bo mojo don't match.

For a good example of real numbers look up John Carter , when Disney threw it under the bus and publicly said how much they'll lose on it .
Other reference is red tails and how much Lucas spent to just get prints out there with no real advertising. Then see Craigs quote about p&a casting as much or more than the movie.

The other part of it is each bond movie is misreported how much it cost. CR the reported in British pounds never clarifying because they were trying to say they spent less than on dad when they spent the same.
Qos was way under reported and the insiders that told us the real numbers were doubted later to be proven correct.
Skyfall same thing happened far as cost (bloated cost and huge p&a) but it didn't matter because it made crazy money.

Then there's the story about eon trying desperately to get spectre down to $300 million by selling out to Mexico

Trolly is Alvin/Ron?
He's a friend of those guys. That's what this Ron dude is claiming. I also remember the other loony tune Alvin back then at that other forum, always talking about his buddies and how they were so devoted to Craig. The Craig idolatry has really turned into a creepy thing, and these wack jobs have turned it into a platform for whatever psychological issues they have.
