Chen G. 3,948 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Indeed, although I hear they'd been very aggressive about their share in tickets with The Last Jedi. But its a complex thing: its different for each cinema, and changes on a weekly-basis. Also, in making such a deal, obviously one doesn't wish to just break even, or make a small profit. Although again, I'm not for a split-second thinking this wouldn't turn out to be extremely profitable for Disney. Its one of those things that they knew would make them money forever from the moment they gave it the go. Nick1Ø66 and Bilbo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 We are three movies in and they made probably half their investments back with ticket sales, merchandise and what have you. This is in no risk of getting into red ink. The curious notion that every movie with a SW tag must make 5 billion $ or else is just mad internet talk that no business analyst at Di$ney would deliver with a straight face. The mouse is smart and probably looks ahead not 5 or 6 but 20 to 40 years. Pieter Boelen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,490 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 1 hour ago, Richard said: The "thematic and stylistic threads" were already running through Spielberg's work, after only three films (four, if you count DUEL). Yeah, some are quicker to spot than others. For example, I can already recognize several Gareth Edwards features (sadly not very apparent in ROGUE ONE). But for Johnson, it's been a bit more difficult. I'll wait a couple of more movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,679 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 As pompous as Scott is in that quote, there's truth to it. Especially in my industry, once in a while the experimentation has to stop and you just need a job done on time by someone who knows what they're doing.

Popular Post Nick Parker 3,040 Posted December 30, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2017 Ridley Scott on Star Wars (reportedly from a Disney board meeting): You all know me. You know how I earn a livin'. I'll direct this turkey for ya, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish! Not like goin' over the pond chasing Cannes or Oscars. This series will swallow you whole. Shakin'. Tenderizin'. Down you go. Now we got to do it quick. That'll bring back the fanboys and it'll put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than thirty million bucks, Miss Kennedy. I'll "assist" for thirty, but I'll shoot it and release it for fifty. You've got to make up your minds. Gonna stay alive and ante up? Or want to play it cheap, rely on rereleases the whole winter. I don't want no "visionaries". I don't want no "auteurs". There's too many captains in this town. Fifty million dollars for me by myself. For that, you get the film, the final cut rights, the whole damn thing.
