You call that a disappointment? Sin City will be lucky to make over 60 million total.

Well hell, I have no idea what it cost to make this movie so I was being generous when you consider that the Bar is just raised so high at the box office nowadays and thought maybe this had a core audience for repeat viewings, but based on your 60 Million final domestic total, you blew mine away..

120mil?? That would be incredible not a dissapointment for this movie. Sometimes I think you have no idea how the BO works. Alot of people who are anticipating this movie dont even know jack shit about the graphic novel ( like me )

As far as I know, it had a budget of 40 million. And it'll probably have a... 25 million marketing budget. I don't see it making more then 60, considering it's very different than any movie out there. Movie and Internet geeks will eat it up, while the general population won't. Some teens will be cut out because of the R rating in places that card, and not all adults will like the violence and... odd story. But the niche market the movie was made for will love it. It'll be a cult hit, I suppose.

I know how box office works knucklehead, but I never claimed to be good at it..

Congratulations, BKB, you just predicted the highest gross for Sin City at the forums. :razz:

As far as the Sin City trade paperback collections, I do know that they just recently reissued them. They should be available at any Barnes and Noble, and for sure at a local comic specialty store. Frank Miller is awesome, so enjoy!

Ok.. I looked at BORDERS BOOKS, But there is a BARNES AND NOBLE close to me as well so I'll give it a look.. Hell, I thought this movie was considered to be big budget which is why I predicted what I did.. It's kind of hard not to with the huge budget these blockbuster films receive nowadays with FX and whatnot so I thought it was a safe bet when you consider how much summer blockbuster movies cost to make, a 100 Million seems like Peanuts now.. :wink:

Well no, he is just #2... behind me... :wink:

nice prediction BKB :wink:

could you post your prediction in my Sin City prediction/tracking thread :?:

if so it would be awesome and welcome :wink:

Sincity.

Will you now proceed to blast any movie whatsoever that has any internet hype ... because you'd be shocked to learn that the internet population is a part of the normal population and their opinions are not ALWAYS mutually exclusive.

Having said that, almost everywhere I've looked, everyone is excited about the movie but every single person is acknowledging its cult status. No one has said this movie will be mainstream (but hoping it is) and just as a lot of people have said here, you're prediction for it seems to put you as one of the most optimistic about its chances.

BKB, just for a laugh, could you edit the title of this thread to "The Thread Where BKB Predicts Sin City to Be a bigger hit than everybody but Samweis Gamdschie" ? \:D/

Haha. So true.

i really believe everyone is underpredicting this movie, but $120M DAMN!...thats way to much!

Yeah BKB... 120 million would be quite impressive. I'm having doubts on if this will make even more than 50 million, but we'll see.

BKB, you crack me up.

This film will be lucky to make 120 million. Im predicting something around 50-60 million total. Nice to see that 120 million is a dissappointment for a 50 million budget movie but that 88 million is great business for a 60 million budget movie about 2 franchises :wink:

If it makes $120 million, it'll be called one of the biggest surprise hits of the year

Especially considering that the former is rated R and the latter is PG-13.

Man folks.. I thought this movie cost like 120-130 Million to make.. I didn't know this was made for fucking peanuts.. Yeah, I guess 120 Million would be quite the fucking surprise hit now wouldn't it?? Talk about a thread backfire..

Robert Rodriguez makes all his films for pennies on the dollar. He's a genius like that.

100m if it's lucky?? $100M if it's another movie....

Anyway

SIN CITY

$24M
$55M

You may be a troll, BKB, but you're our troll, damnit! =D>

SIN CITY will not dissapoint, quality wise or box office wise. I'm thinking it will do KILL BILL numbers or higher and I'm thinking I will give it a 9/10.
