Admin Hero1 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Admin Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I wouldn't call it a flop but I wouldn't call it a success either.. Sony would be disappointed.. Prod budget of 55 mil but 40 million in marketing and they see less than half of the money made from overseas.. Also will does a deal where he gets 20-30% of profits.. So I doubt they'll make much money on this.. I think will is the biggest movie star in the world but his last few movies are Hutton the brand.. It's gonna make it a lot harder for wills next movie to be a big box office hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jin Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) WWW was a flop although it made above 200 mill. I think Seven Pounds is the second best performance of Will as an actor after POH. Dramas usually perform less than blockbusters! But it made less money than most people thought!

Da Brakes Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 If Will carries on like this its gonna be hard for him to demand that $20M pay cheque! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Hero1 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Admin Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 The production budget doesn't include marketing costs etc which would be close to 40 million.. I doubt Sony would have made any money from this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jin Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Do you got confirmed numbers of the marketing costs for 7 pounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIsqo Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 they probably did get some money out of it, and the dvd sells I bet are gonna be good enough too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) Well they'll get some money of course. In Spain the movie is working very very good 5.763.773€( $8,093,773)so far. I guess 7P will lose the num 1 at the spanish box-office this weekend because of Tom Cruise new movie.

DefCEM Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 i think that a lot of people went to this movie, because of the name "Will Smith" and not the movie plot/marketing itself. and people are getting more dissapointed with every Will Smith movie, he just needs to stick back to his Willism and do some funny stuff again, if he wants to break records in the box-office again. and lets face it, oscar nominated and awarded movies made more than 130 million. those movies are damn good with brilliant performance at the same time. for me Wills performance was a lil bit above average and the movie itself wasnt that extraordinary either.

Jin Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hancock was whack, but I am Legend except the ending was great! He should make Bad Boys 3, he is already 40 years old...this might be the last chance to realise it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
