Nobody is talking about what? The money? Plenty of people are talking about the money, mostly idiots who have staked their sense of self worth on the movie failing, which it clearly has not. Nobody in the production is talking about the money because nobody in a production EVER talks about the money. They’re generally busy working on their next movie, and thankful the press tour is over. Plus of course they don’t make the accountants’ job harder, they have to make sure nothing ever makes a profit so nobody with points on the back end gets anything. Don’t irritate accountants, they’re the real power.
It’s not really half. That’s a rule of thumb but not true. It’s a sliding scale with the generally 80% from the first weekend going to the distributor on through to the producers. And then global revenues are even more complicated.
Your “realistic” number is made up by you. The reality is the movie made money.
I don’t know if it’s nerd or not. Normally sword and sandals is nerd territory. But who knows. Either way though it’s a par chart or much better than par chart. All crowing that it’s tanking is factually challenged.
And again, show me where it made money already. Give the hard financial sheets. I agreed several times it likely will, presented typical industry thumb rules for my reasoning. I even presented real hard data in the form of collected sales and websites that describe the process. you just keep saying so because you say so.
You do the same but only make the case you are more correct because you say so, literally you have no standing any more valid than mine, you just want it to be true more...lol you are really vested in this like the other guy here.
Of note, nowhere did I say it was tanking, only that it dropped off and being a Nolan film that was likely enough to carry it through to some profits.
I do take issue with the merits of the film from the reviews I follow and the clips I have seen. That is enough, to me as a fan of classical literature, to say it not worth my time.
