Prometheus Box Office

[Salt The Fries]

If it overtakes that shitty Snow White movie, I will be beyond delighted, and the chances are very likely since it opens tomorrow in Italy and Switzerland.

$341.7m WW after opening in Japan. A final tally of $360+ is looking likely.

You gonna eat your words?

Why? Did it not make over $360m?

$400 mill is $360+ mill
$700 mill is $360+ mill
$1 billion is $360+ mill
$5 billion is $360+ mill

I think you get my point

Erm... that's not grounds for 'word eating'.  He reckoned it'd make over $360m and it has.

[Ratchetcomand]

Beat Ted already! I think it won't be on the Top 10 for long once Skyfall, The Hobbit and Breaking Dawn Part 2 come out.

Not sure what he mean's either, but I assume he is pointing out Prometheus has made more then most assumed so far..?

Last count, worldwide gross at $374 million and still counting !!

Just pointing out The production budget was 120-130 mil. There was tax breaks and so fourth, so it will be impossible to get a total figure on that. 180 mil sounds sounds way out of line, compared to a lot of other sources.

[Promethée]

This site includes the estimates of the promoting budget.

In this case:  130M production budget + 50M advertising budget.

I'm so glad Prometheus will overtake this dreaded Snow White movie. I have a sick grudge and obsession about it because I actually saw it in the theater thinking it'd at least attempt to be revisionist...Snow White had - with marketing dough - a budget of 225m and it made only 395m. Prometheus earned proportionally more, and now after the premieres in Italy and Switzerland + all the money it already earned in China it will overtake it anyway...

BTW, report from yahoo from 4 days ago:

Fox Prometheus grossed $6.3 million in its second round of China playdates, elevating the entire weekend take from 3,407 venues in seven territories to $8.5 million.  Foreign cume stands at $247.7 million.

There is a demand for a dark, serious scifi that is not chockful of cheesy actions like PROMETHEUS. I am not saying that it should have less action, but here is proof that if a movie is made with respect for the audience, the audience would recognize it by spreading the good word of mouth. PROMETHEUS attendance is also influenced by the superb trailer campaigns which I think are mini masterpieces in their own right.

Someone should paint these words on a boat paddle and beat Sir Scott with it until he realises the irony.

There's no irony there... Whilst Prometheus isn't 2001:ASO it certainly aint Transformers. There is a middle ground to be had which is worth exploring.

I think you get my point

I simply predicted that with the limited amount of foreign openings that it would exceed $360m for cert. And it has done just that. Your "point" seems to amount to nothing much at all.

Hell, if you are really that desperate for conflict, Prometheus has exceeded many of my expectations and predictions (BO wise) that I've posted in this very thread. But then I don't see that negatively. I want Prometheus to do well.

You want PROMETHEUS to be successful? hey we are on the same team
