This thread makes me laugh. Can't we all just be happy that our beloved franchise is doing well and new people are joining it? Then again this is teh interwebs.

Incredible. I figured the true Joe fans would be hoping this BOMBS so we can have a reboot. Stephen Sommers, Stuart Beattie & the other rapists of childhoods are laughing all the way to the bank. And you guys are celebrating for them? I guess crime DOES pay. I'm sure people will just label me a hater. Or they'll dismiss me as retentive. But, really, has everyone's standards really dropped that low or were they all low to begin with? Bravo. Nice job. Oh wait, he hit a 3rd one too with the shot at people's standards. Really nice job. Awesome work. Breaking it down simply, yet again, it's all opinion. You're not a hater or rententive or anything. You just didn't like the movie. Others, like myself, did. It's all opinion. It's when you move beyond the "I didn't like it" opinion with the "no true fans" and "raped my childhood" and insulting people's intelligence that you go beyond opinion and start hitting "jerk" territory. Those of us that did like the movie are every bit as much (if not more) of a Joe fan then you are.

I really, really enjoyed this movie. More then I thought I would, when I agreed to go with Pepsi Jedi today. I liked it way more then Transformers 2, and I would watch this as much as my other favorite franchise, Harry Potter.
I know they can't please everyone but they sure pleased me. :-) |

Now that's the funniest thing I read tonight.
Yeah, I was pretty confident Joe was gonna be fine when my 40 something buddy who could care less about the genre and who typically is never satisfied with almost any movie called me up after he saw ROC to tell me he liked it and that he thought it was a lot better than TF2 (not that I hadn't already figured that one out). Getting over half the production budget back in one (non-extended) weekend, not bad. Fourth best opening weekend in August ever, not bad at all. They'll more than make their budget and we'll be on track for the sequel. Hopefully, they get it right and get better, unlike their sister franchise (TF). With a few tweaks, I think they'll be on track for success and the Joe line will return to glory. My take on the movie can be found here: Your take on the movie! - The Fighting 1:18th's Sewing Circle Last edited by thunderdan19; 08-09-2009 at 10:29 PM.. |

District 9 is no threat to G.I Joe. ROC will have an expected 50% drop, to about $25-28 million. if District 9 hits $30 million, the producers of that film will throw a party. |

Box office receipts only account for about 10% of what the studio expects to make off of a movie.So yeah they will make their money back.Plus those are not the worldwide BO totals just the US totals.Worldwide it is reported to have made close to 100million.

Nowadays, DVD sales play a HUGE part in what a studio expects to make for the movie.
So even if a movie "bombs" in the box office, there's still a chance it'll be deemed a success with the DVD sales (success by the studio making it's money back and then some).
