Since there were so many threads about “Noah” last week, here is some follow-up info: its box office take fell between 61 and 64 % compared to its opening weekend last weekend.

That drop marks “Noah” as an official box office flop. It will play for a few more weeks, but it needs to make $350 million to show a profit. This weekend’s returns say that number is out of reach.

Some Industry types will say it’s not a flop, only a “disappointment,” meaning it’s not going to lose as much money as last year’s “Lone Ranger.” That’s arguable, but the bottom line is everyone lost money on “Noah,” and there won’t be a Noah 2 in the works.

Not everyone lost money on it. I made out very well on supplying all the logs for the arks. They were the stars of the show.

It cost $125 million to make. So far it has grossed worldwide
$175 million. If I can count right, that’s $50,000,000 profit. Nice little take for 10 days work.
