It could reach $100 million domestically, but it's still done for here. Unless it pulls a Pacific Rim overseas, it's done for and going to lose money for Warner Bros.


Can't Bruise the Cruise, it'll still draw some international money because of him alone, but I wonder what it will do for planning future anime/manga adaptations. This was the first really expensive one, and even with Cruise and Blunt it didn't do so hot, despite critical success. Maybe moving on to Japanese nerd properties is just a matter of course when they've already depleted the Western ones.

Part of it not succeeding was probably due to not good marketing unfortunately. And the marketing is getting worse...

That's the new theatrical poster after the movie came out. And this is what the title card looks like on the TV ads now...

BOM's current global take for the film is $292 million. So, worst-case scenario is that it will break even, which is probably more than will be said about Jupiter Ascending.

True, that one is most definitely done for, especially since it's now being released in February, one of the absolute worst months for movies. No way is it going to not bomb incredibly hard (And it's also probably going to suck).
