According to this Warners is expecting to start turning a small profit once they start selling it to streaming .

Rampage did overall $426+ million worldwide. (It sorta beat the estimates that Indiewire gave in some ways domestically and overseas wise)
“Rampage” should make around $90 million domestic and another $300 million or so additional overseas. Expect it to make $400 worldwide, perhaps a little more. With production and marketing costs topping $220 million, Warner Bros. will make a small profit only after the film hits streaming.

The trailers to Predator turned me off. It seemed to self-aware and fourth-wall-breaking. But also dumb. Maybe its really as good as Casa Blanca, but they really blew it on marketing imho. Such a tricky thing, that.
Every day is a gift, not a given right.
Nutcracker and the Four Realms is going to end up on the list. It is the lowest opening for a Disney movie in a very long time and has absolutely no positive buzz.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
Yeah people were stunned Disney released a Christmas movie this early. But I will wait and see what happens with international markets etc. I usually give it a month or two.

Well as an update on 2 films that have bombed ...1 was shockingly a horror film released too late. The other was a R rated crime/revenge type film that bombed. As usual I am holding off Nutcracker from Disney til its international opening is done the next few weeks. Its expected to open in China and Japan the next few weeks and those are major markets. China itself is a huge one. But its a wait and see til those are done.
Anyhow here we go...
Total Film Budget : $38 million
Total Box Office : $37+ million
This historical horror film was released in November which is never really a good sign for horror films and fare there. Overlord originally it was rumored was going to be part of the J.J Abrams "Cloverfield" universe of films. Instead it was revealed that wasn't true. The release has only done $20+ million domestically and now out of the top 10 and its unlikely to even get close to its production budget back. Its international haul is pretty limited as well.
Total Film Budget : $42+ million
Total Box Office : $38+ million (worldwide).
Widows was another R rated film released in November. This one was a crime/revenge film where the women of ex-mobsters who stole money are forced to go to war against a drug kingpin as he wants that money back. The film starred Colin Ferrell , Michelle Rodriguez and others . But its domestic take has only been $25+ million and it too has fallen to 8th this week and will likely drop out of top 10 next weekend. It also has few international markets left to open in. So its not gonna be making its budget back.

Well in what is shocking is Widows may have fooled me here. In fact the film stuck around the top 10 for weeks due to a slow movie season and right now has earned $40.8 million domestically and chipped in $30+ million outside the country. While not a huge hit , the film could break even in a week production budget wise.

I waited to see how Disney's latest holiday film would do and well...folks it wasn't good. It also was joined by yet another failed big screen adaption of a classic hero as well.
Total Film Budget : $120+ Million
Total Box Office : $152+ Million
Its rare when Disney guesses wrong on a film and perhaps one of their biggest bombs since Tomorrowland (2015) was this one. An all-star cast led by Kiera Knightley , Morgan Freeman and Helen Mirren starred in this one and it crashed to Earth that 1st opening week. The only real thing to save the film would be possibly if the outside domestic box office could do big. But the film didn't do so well outside the country and has only earned $99+ million there of this total. So that should tell you how bad its done domestically.
Disney however will likely not worry much as they had 2 comic book films do over $3+ billion worldwide box office wise.
Total Film Budget : $100 million
Total Box Office : $73+ million
Hollywood has tried twice the last decade to make a Robin Hood film series work. The last one starring Russell Crow in 2010 had a $200+ million dollar budget and while earning $320+ million worldwide was considered a box office bust then. Fast forward 8 years later Jamie Foxx played in this one and it had a cheaper budget as we see. But yet will get nowhere near it worldwide. In fact its already dropped outta the top 10.
This film was from Lionsgate/Summit and they saw the movie crash and burn at opening week. One reviewer joked that the film obviously was supposed to be set in modern times and be a play on the success of Arrow . The studio obviously stepped in and made some changes to set it back in the middle ages where traditional Robin Hood films usually are.

Someone's gonna lose their job over Mortal Engines.
Maybe people thought it was a sequel to The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and rejected it based on that?
Interestingly enough, both Mortal Engines and Mortal Instruments have a book or series called Infernal Devices as part of their respective literary universes.

I am just noticing this thread
So to be clear this not a good film but part of its failure is a critics hatch job. This is just a meh/average film but every critic seem ready blast with their best Young Adult films insults and trash it based on the genre. I don't feel too sorry because this mismarketed film but anything looking close to a young adult film will get brutal harsh reviews and the film wasn't that bad just generically average. Which brings us to today and Mortal Engines which is probably feeling some of that young adult/dystopian future backlash.
But more importantly who picked the date for Mortal Engines? Who went let us put this up against Aquaman, Bumblebee, Mary Poppins and Holiday/Christmas movies. I don't think it would be successful overall with another date but no way it had chance against this competition. Stuff like this underrated art form like Venom was put on the the perfect time from release and had like two or three weeks with nothing to really compete against it. Props for Battle Angel Alita for going "nah I am going to pass on this on massacre" put me up against Happy death day 2 and bunch of comedies or kid movies.
