Top Gun back in the US Top 10 twenty seven years later.

Pretty impressive for only 300 screens. The second highest PTA in the top ten.

Willis has had a far more up and down career than Sly or Arnie. Out of the 54 films he's starred in about half of them were outright bombs.


I checked this out. You're right, his career is occasionally a bizarre mix of one or two of the films failing but making out by starring in a blockbuster or something quite accliamed or succesful (then there's 2011, which is just horrific, I also though Hostage was a hit). It's also far more varied then any other actor's here still, the man ranges from Sin City, to Looper, to The Sitxh Sense, to The Whole Nine Yards, to Lucky Number Sleven, to Die Hard, to Moonrise Kingdom. That's still a far wider range and a far bigger chance of a starring role then Stallone and Arnie, who seem to be stuck in in archetypical roles (yes, I know Copland exists).

BOM has it just outside of the top ten, but still very impressive screen average.

I know we still have a lot of big stuff to come, but I wouldn't be suprised if Les Miserables turns out to be the highest grossest film of the year. It spent three weeks at number one (quite rare these days), and is going to stick around for awhile yet.

It won't be the biggest, though top 10 is a possibility, My money's on Iron man 3 to be the biggest of the year, with a strong showing from both Thor 2 and maybe The hobbit 2 (Which did better the two towers or fellowship?). Other that those, fast 6, Hunger games 2 and Maybe Man of Steel, there's nothing that rally stands out this year as being a biggy.

If that is true I am suprised, but I predict it will flop in the UK. It is opening at a bad time (Oscar season) and is competeing against some very popluar films some of which (Les Mis and Lincoln for example) are more suited for British audiences. I reckon it will go in at about number four, but then quickly drop.

It topped the UK charts with $7.5 million - its biggest international opening.

be lucky if it makes that back - although John Carter opened similar and pulled in total 282m due to strong overseas box office (but was still classified a major bomb)

Hobbit breaks $1b - so thats four billion $ hits last year - most in any year so far:

(2008 = 1, 2009 = 1 although the one film made 2.8b, 2010 = 2, 2011 = 3)

wonder how many 2013 will bring? (none according to my estimates )

John Carter is the biggest bomb in the history of cinema. It's international box office was almost as poor as its US.

Jack the Giant Slayer may gross even less than John Carter but it will escape the "Biggest bomb of all time" title from costing $100 million less.

John Carter isn't the biggest bomb of all time. It is up there, but still pales next to Mars Needs Moms.

DH5 at 221 ww, wonder if it can struggle to 300? (DH4.0 made 383m in 2007 but it was PG13). will have to pull in a good deal more forgien as it looks to be fizzing out at the 60m mark in US (less than half of 4.0s US take)

seems strange that an off shoot like Taken 2 will make more than a Die Hard (376m)

in hindsight they may as well have cut it to PG13 (like 12A here) in order to get a stronger US gross (maybe 100m).
it felt more like 4.0 part 2 (or 4.2) than anything like the original trilogy, and was half expected due to 4.0s pg rating so it wouldnt have been such a big deal.

I still can't believe John Carter was that much of a flop (not denying the facts, i just can't believe it flopped so hard). It's kind of fascinating with John Carter as you mention the movie and the name, and no one has ever heard of it! They look back at you blankly. For example, my brother in law, who has a casual interest in movies had no idea what it was and had NEVER heard of it. For a movie that Disney spent about £200M on (if not more) they have failed on a colossal level if Joe Public has never even heard of your movie. He kept thinking we were talking about John Carepenter until i realised his confusion and explained he was thinking of a director. I got the blu ray to show him the cover so he could get some kind of recognition, but no, he'd never seen the name or heard of it before.

Worst marketing ever. It gets draining having to explain what John Carter is and its rich history in terms of the movies that the stories have inspired. I feel like i'm doing Disney's job for them. Why on earth they failed so badly to get this movie into the public mindset is beyond me.

 I'm pretty sure that after The Avengers made all money, Disney forgot they even made John Carter.

I tried to watch some of JC on Sky Movies, but I only got about 45 minutes into it. I decided that watching paint dry was an infinitely more entertaining and pleasurable way to kill a couple of hours.

maybe they shouldve put aside the fear of having Mars in the title and just gone with A Princess of Mars (youd have thought Disney wouldve jumped at that), or John Carter of Mars.
at least that way the average movie goer wouldve known it was a Sci Fi film and not some drama like Michael Clayton or the belated sequel to Get Carter or Coach Carter, to call it simply John Carter was ridiculous (like calling Star Wars 'Luke Skywalker' - but at least that would be an unusual interesting name)

also the main poster was incredibly dull :

Agree with all of the above. I just can't understand why they didn't handle that huge investment better. I mean, seriously. I have to go through the whole 'yes it looks exactly like Star Wars but the story came before Star Wars' line all the time!

To be fair, it might have gotten better after those 45 minutes but I just don't care enough to find out. Hence why I won't write a badly written review for it.
