Will Matrix Rev break 200 million..?
It's very disappointed to see a movie that started out so well fall so fast. Reloaded made close to $280 mil in US and around $750 worldwide.
I don't think, Rev. will break $200 mil in US after a disappointing $55 mil for 5 days- IMO.. Time will tell... Overall, I guess the studios can called it a successfully trilogy since it's made over 1 billion bucks and counting... -bruce |
it will break 200 easy.
|
don't really care, but i agree with jack.
the trilogy will sell like heroin on DVD. |
"The Hulk" made $62 million it's first weekend and only wound up pulling in $132 million domestically. I expect similar things to happen with the Matrix. It's pulled in about $85 million so far, but I expect huge drop offs in the coming weeks. Domestically, I don't think it will do much better than $150 or $160 million. Most of the people in the theater I saw it in were quite disappointed with it. It's not a film that's going to induce a lot of repeat viewings from theater goers.

I think it will struggle to break 200 million. It might be close. Next weekend's number should tell the tale. If there's 60%, or more, dropoff then it won't make it...

While I liked the movie and it has already broken $200 million worldwide, I doubt these movies will have much fire left after this weekend. The Wachowskis are starting to come across as weirdos to a lot of people, and that doesn't set too well in the heartland.

It'll be close for Revolutions to get to the $200 million mark.
|
I think it'll be close, but it'll make it. While the hype and wait had everyone waiting to see Reloaded right away, i think there are plenty of people who want to see Revolutions to complete the story, but aren't in a rush after being let down a bit by Reloaded.
|
I agree that there will be a lot of drop-off and probably not a lot of repeat viewings. It's already made more than $200 mil globally. It will probably hit that figure domestically, but it'll be tight.

When all is said and done, the Matrix trilogy as a whole will be remembered as a box-office triumph, not a letdown.

Originally posted by Pauly thou hast spoken Nostradamus. Did you conduct a personal movie survey by the theater exit as people were leaving? This movie will break 200 Mill. I went with a group of six die-hard Matrix fans...we all thought it sucked too. So, I perhaps only accounted for about 25 of the 50 or so that were in the theater, but I sure didn't hear anyone say they liked it. And I still don't think it will break $200 million domestically. I don't even think it will be number one again this weekend. |
what comes out next weekend that will give revolutions some trouble.

Master and Commander
BTW, I'll be seeing Revolutions tonight hopefully. I'm watching Reloaded on DVD today. Brian |

The movie will probably not cross 200 million. It'll be close. But honestly, does it matter? While some might go "see how disapointing!!!" I mean, it's an R rated film pulling down huge numbers. What this movie will also do is make enormous amounts internationally. I'd expect Revolutions to end with 500-700 million worldwide. Definately nothing to sneeze at. And I also think people will remember the sequels a bit more fondly once time gives way... But who knows. I loved the movie myself.

I think Revolutions will make slightly more than the original Matrix made over its domestic run.
The Matrix $171 million Reloaded $281 million Revolutions $175-200? This pattern seems similar to the american pie series that saw a increase in the 2nd film and a drop for the 3rd film American Pie $101 million American Pie 2 $145 million American Wedding $104 million |
I call it at $160 million. Actual numbers for the weekend bring it to $48.47 mil, $83.79 total. There's too much competition in the coming weeks to reach $200 mil at this point.
|
Actually, Revolutions didn't even make it to 50 million for the weekend. The final numbers are in and Revolutions pulled in 48.4 million for the weekend. Since I think this film is going to drop by a minimum of 50% next weekend, and probably even 60%, this film won't get close to 200 million.

It'll be funny if the worst of the 3 movies (IMHO of course) makes the most money at the box office. Didn't love revolutions, but it was better than I was expecting considering the poisonous reviews.
