FYI the Country has been in a recession since Dec 2007. Production started in February 2008. They had more than enough time to adjust any numbers to reflect the economy.

Add to that the belief that Hollywood is historically "recession proof" and the likelihood of Paramount still being overexcited is still a very real one. Either way, the -didn't- adjust the numbers, at least on the production budget. I dunno where the money went, but there's never been a single indication that it was trimmed. I remember people being surprised when they announced that G.I. Joe would have a $170 million dollar budget, because that was about $20 million more than Transformers got initially.

This thread was started for the express reasons to gloat and start a flame war. Nothing else. The thing is, I haven't even even thought much about ROC since I saw the movie. I would give it a B at best. I am just sick and tired of the meaningless hate and complaining. Does every guy who didn't like ROC participate in the inflamatory hate? No. But those that do are VERY vocal and it is VERY tired.

Well I could argue how wrong you are on the Recession facts........but then we would turn this thread into something else.....
Keep in mind that they were still working on the script right up to the writers strike in November 2007 not to mention Stephen Sommers was brought on in August 2007.... The film was already greenlit at that point............ Here is a mini time-line for ya: August 2007 Stephen Sommers was hired on - clearly starting pre-production. November 2007 Writers strike. December 2007 Recession begins. February 2008 Production starts. Clearly giving them time to adjust budget. How can you argue facts? Politics aside only a moron would not realize we were not in a recession in late 2007 and you my friend are clearly not a moron. We don't need the govt. to tell us what is clearly happening around us, correct? Either way my point is they could have adjusted their numbers between Nov. 2007 to February 2008, correct?

and How exactly does it support your post LOL?? it does quite the opposite, seriously man all it shows is US DVD SALES not world wide dvd sales, it totally proves your dead wrong about total DVD sales. Since Rambo did better overseas than in the US one might figure it would have SOLD more dvds overseas as well, ( places like Japan, where I live, sell DVDS for TWICE the amount of of what it cost to buy in the US and its ALL studio profit so it wouldnt even need to sell the same amount to make the same amount in profit ) but lets just for arguments sake say it only did 40 percent of the US dvd sales overseas and not better like it did in Theaters. Rambo would have done more than the 50 million you predicted ROC to do. Your dead wrong bottom line. admit to it. ( again this is not even counting the five disc collectors set) your numbers dont stand up. Quote:

First, nobody finds you witty outside of yourself!
Second, you see, all you had to do is act like a grown-up, apologize and move on.... i did it....... come on.......come on......you can do it! Assuming I was wrong and I flamed you first, that was not my intent. I honestly thought you were being sarcastic. You say you were not.... I take you for your word and I apologized. But you had to fill your post with sarcasm that will get us no-where. I am not here to really debate with you on who was rude first. I felt you were rude, you felt I was rude. I did the grown-up thing and apologized and you went down another path. It shows me what kind of man you really are. but if you are intent on fighting about this via Internet have at it. Its not my style so flame on and I will just continue to post ignoring you. Because eeither way there is very little point in debating with you.... you cannot dispute my numbers and until you do I will not back down from what I posted. When you prove me wrong I will apologize, why? Cause I'm a grown-up! Now for the thread to get back on track: ROC had its worst day but that was to be expected. It brought in only: $491,340.00 for Wednesday. ROC numbers thus far are: Domestic: $133,821,730.00 Foreign: $131,726,913.00 Total: $265,548,643.00 Profit: 24 million and climbing. A million to surpass Wanted and Mission Impossible 3's domestic haul. Last edited by Rocky; 09-03-2009 at 10:52 PM.. |

[/QUOTE] ROC had its worst day but that was to be expected. It brought in only: $491,340.00 for Wednesday.

Too many pages to read through sorry =) I remember 175 million to make the movie and and it has 265 million in ticket sales for a diffirence of around 90 Million. Why only 24 million in profit? Marketing of 66 Million? |

As the film’s run continues, the split changes in favor of the exhibitor until it reaches 50/50. This is only a general agreement and is not a standard for all releases. Each release can have its own agreement, with the 80/20 split being the most common.

In the former situation, the revenue split would be consistent with the domestic gates, while the latter can see the studio get only an advance as well as a cut of the revenues, which in turn are a percentage of the actual gates.
