This isn't part of Universal's Dark Universe (which is for the better given how crap The Mummy was). But still, we already had Dracula Untold just a few years ago.

man i wish i was a vampire

So is the "Dark Universe" confirmed tanked or what?

What the fuck is this real?? Nooooooo
Benjamin Lewis
What the fuck is The Mummy? I thought it was a The Mummy remake.
Ryder Campbell
i dont get it, what's wrong?
Carson Reyes
after how much they put into it, they will force it no matter how.
Universal doesn't give a shit about US market, and they go for worldwide release. Even if they fail, they always bring these monster once for 20 years or so, since 30s.
30s-40s break 60s-70s break 90s-2000s break 2020s-2030s next reboot should be around 2040s, then 2060s
Landon Ward
Angry about USA not being the most relevant market anymore.

Well pretty much everyone thought it was a fucking joke

>double budget for marketing >take off percentage from domestic since studios don't get the whole thing, take off larger percentage from foreign because studios get even less of that Eh, looks like a flop to me. Studios don't want to spend $200+mil and only get a few tens in profit in return, if that.

>The tale is set in 1868, where a 21-year old Bram Stoker meets with an ungodly evil that he traps in an ancient tower all the while scribbling the events that led him there. Moar liek a 21-year old Bram Stoker reads Lord Byron, Polidori and LeFanu's stuff and fanfics their stuff.
Isaiah Collins
That sounds like a horrible concept for a movie. If they want to do a Dracula prequel why not make some pseudo fantasy biopic about Vlad the Impaler?
Jose Flores
see The shekel lords can't back down now, they'll go full Sony.
Parker Foster
Chinks have awful taste in movies, thus bad movies keep getting made.
Jaxson Taylor
Such a brainlet post
Bentley Long
Super flop. Didn't even make its own budget back domestically? Fucked.

>they still haven't perfected vampire horror like pic related
Damn shame.

Is this ungodly evil a hot succubus that will femdom Dracula? This is important.

>Eh, looks like a flop to me >Super flop.
This is getting fucking ridiculous with the Reddit accounting.
Budget 125 mil, 407 mil gross, that's a flop now? Do you imbeciles realize the entire movie business would be shut down already if this were true? Even the few remaining hits according to your accounting isn't enough to make up the difference in the flops then.
Of course these things make money, they keep being produced. You can tell when it stops making money because they stop making them. Economics isn't a big mystery on this level.
James James
Forever Knight, maybe. I haven't watched it since a couple eps as a kid.
>videogames
125mil budget with 407mil gross worldwide is a flop, yes. It's really surprisingly high foreign vs. domestic but a flop nonetheless. It's not about accounting but relative to other films.
Eli Jenkins
from before release: >insiders say a $40 million bow (plus a strong overseas haul) would be enough to move forward with the universe as planned
why Tom Cruise >And the film is expected to do the majority of its business abroad, where Cruise continues to be a major draw. The Mummy will open day-and-date in more than 60 markets, including China. >box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian. "If you look at [Universal's] Fate of the Furious, 80 percent of its box office came from international. Tom Cruise is an international superstar, and he remains so. >Cruise's character will recur in the universe.
marketing: >Comcast, Universal's parent company, is giving the film its so-called Symphony marketing push in the U.S. in which multiplatform divisions work together to promote a single project.
After terrible reviews and underperforming in US, expected 350 mil worldwide max, but it topped 400.
in next week comes DVD/BluRay, and this is where movie gonna shine. Tom Cruise is undisputed king of home box office. Even shitty "Oblivion" - one of weakest Box Office for Tom Cruise, became top-selling DVD.
TL:DR from insiders analysit, movie had to pass: 65 mill domestic 278 mill worldwide anything above is already profit, DVD/BluRay gonna make it shine
Connor Clark
Serious question, check the catalog
why so many frogs on the catalog?
Leo Barnes
because mods are dead and this place turns into complete shit without them.
Aaron Ross
This is what freedom looks like. Praise Anarchy.
Levi Kelly
So, a copy of Interview with the Vampire? That might turn out okay.
I'm honestly kind of surprised there aren't more Dracula movies being made, the book is public domain and people still like the character.
Benjamin Collins
Do you really want that?
Elijah Jackson
giv vampire gf
Andrew Perry
did you not fucking see dracula untold?
Jacob Thompson
Because they did it like 3 years ago?
You fucking retard
Landon Johnson
Production budget is 125mil, they never include marketing costs so rule of thumb is to add roughly what the production budget is for marketing expenditures. 400 mil gross is how much it got, but the studio doesn't get all of the money. Theaters get a cut for a example. Studios get a bigger cut of the domestic gross than they do the foreign. Weren't there issues recently with China paying up or something? They had to get an auditor? On top of that is the issue of opportunity cost. These studios want these big blockbusters to rake in crazy cash, maybe even need them if they're having a bad year. If these big budget movies make too little, it becomes bad business since there could've been better uses of that money (and maybe of that property). Of course better to make something than nothing or straight out lose money, but that's an expectation, not a triumph.

Byzantium is pretty close, there's a concept of masquerade in it and a "organization" that upholds it.
