Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 where's the Navy y'all? http://boxofficemojo...=battleship.htm Ummm 9 million on a Friday a 200 million dollar budget and 9 million on a Friday #oop it did VERY well overseas tho (215M).. but Americans weren't feeling it? Battleship's international gross of $226.8 million provides some cushion, but it needed a strong domestic performance to end up in the black. A $26 million opening means the movie might not clear $70 million or $80 over the long haul domestically, resulting in a notable loss for Universal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idrag4mj Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Dead at universal studios saving face by under stating the budget . The budget was 250mill ...marketing budget was 100 mill they spent 350mill on this flop and are barely going to break even .To say its a flop is an understatement .Makes John carter look like freaking avengers . IMO rihanna was a big turn off for this movie .they should have hired emma stone ,charlize theron or some other chick that can actually put people in seats . Hell people are not even willing to see rihana in concert in the usa ,how are they gonna sit through a 2hour movie with her in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xu1993 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Can you really call it a flop at this point? I'm sure it will do at least 450 world wide, and after dvd sales, merchandise tie-ins and cable rights they will green light the sequel.

Pebbles Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Also Rihanna's part is rather minuscule..to act like she's the star of the movie and therefore takes on the brunt of its domestic failure is just plain stupid.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarrylf Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 it did VERY well overseas tho (215M) All that matters. It's not in the genre of films that I go running to at the movies (unless I'm with friends and my movie gets out voted) for any reason, the only person who'd be in this kind of movie and have me not waiting for DVD is Janet. So it makes no never mind to me, worldwide it beat it's budget so well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You like to use the word @receipts@ on others so how about providing some yourself? I know my what i say .the marketing budget alone was 100mill its never included in the production budgets press releases .research it .its not that hard to find .Same with avengers , transformers etc And 200mill overseas is still a flop when it won't even break even . somebody is getting fired and there will be no sequel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
