Prometheus Box Office

[Gazz]

I think the Euro football tournament has a lot to do with it. Box office has been taking a hit in Euro related countries (even in England when the national team has played) and Fox probably wanted to avoid the tournament altogether, settling on the next best and available release date.

73% on Rotten Tomatoes is "extremely mixed"?

[ThisBethesdaSea]

Yeah...this revisionist history is a bit odd. Prometheus released to more or less rave reviews, and a few were mixed and general and palpable audience enthusiasm. Period.

73% on Rotten Tomatoes is "extremely mixed"?

Fine, maybe "extremely" is a slight overstatement, but yes, it's pretty damn mixed. That's 14% away from a rotten, and the audience reviews aggregate to the same level.

What are you on about? Fresh is Fresh.

How many major countries don't have it yet?

I see 300-315, WW, tops. Not bad. You know this thing is gonna sell tons of copies on home media.

[Gazz]

Germany, Italy, Spain and Japan are the main territories. That's another $30 million at least.

There are about 6 or 7 other minor territories too.

[Prime113]

The Hollywood Reporter predicts $4.9 million dollars over the weekend for a 7th place finish.

Yep. That's the thing with Blu, a lot of people just buy them for the picture quality and sound. I'm one of them. I've got some of the weirdest movie's in my collection but I only bought them because of the quality and the experience on my home cinema.

I'd imagine prometheus will be right up there on the pre-order. Even if you didn't like it, its stunning to look at and if they do the transfer proud it could be one of the best looking Blu's out there.

I only buy films that benefit from being on Blu-Ray, like action, sci-fi, anything with good visual effects. That shit is to expensive to buy for just looks. I only by movies I like, like Prometheus

Weekend actual from BoxOfficeMojo - $4,921,254 for an 8th place finish.

[Gazz]

Pipped for 7th by $5k.

Pipped for 7th by $5k. 

Hmmmm, according to IMDb's charts, Prometheus actually came in 7th place... with 5k more than 8th(Moonrise Kingdom)

[Ash 937]

Moonrise Kingdom is only in limited release.  It's considered a very niche film.

You say "14%" like it's "Ooooh - it's almost rated as rotten!!", when it's not even close to that.  Ratings in the 50s and 60s are "mixed".  This isn't.

I've can only guess what you thought of the film, but are you sure you're not projecting onto a quantifiable statistic?
