Blade Runner 2 predictions
what kind of numbers would probably be good for it? Also I wonder if it is going to be big budget tentpole or a medium budget release.

Re: Blade Runner 2 predictions
If it manages $90m, that will be good for it because I imagine it will struggle to make $50m.

You saw Indiana Jones and Crystal Lost Kingdom Skull thing, right? Perhaps it could star, I don't know, Michael Fassbender? or Tom Hardy? You know, some talented actor that WON'T look utterly ridiculous.

Re: Blade Runner 2 predictions
is Harrison Ford actually starring or is he just returning? He could easily have a supporting role.
Also, I wonder if they are aiming for tentpole or lower budget movie with this

Re: Blade Runner 2 predictions
Ford would have to be supporting in this. No way can he play the lead.
100m total would be great for this. Though of it good and marketed as a big blockbuster - it could do a Tron 2.0. Circumstances are similar actually.

Re: Blade Runner 2 predictions
This film was just moved up to Oct 6 2017 from January 2018.
Implies that the studio has faith in this project.
According to BOM, there's both an untitled Fox/Marvel film on that date AND an Untitled WB event film. So I guess it could be a platform release? That'd be pretty nuts for such a high profile film.

Re: Blade Runner 2 predictions
It's funny I was going to comment in the Girl on Train thread that with the October prestige film alternating between sci-fi and adult thriller.... Gravity/GG/Martian/GoT... That 2017 was due a bug sci fi film. Good move.

I doubt the WB releases two films on the same day, let alone event films. This is either that event film and BOM hasn't updated, or its Tomb Raider (?) and it'll get moved to a summer.

Re: Blade Runner 2 predictions
Summer 2017 still has plenty of prime spots to fill. These days looks like the studios are trying to lock in prime non summer slots as a priority.

Re: Blade Runner 2 predictions
This looks gorgeous, wonder how the rest of the trailers will be.
This and Kingsman opening on the same day is silly. I bet Kingsman will move again.

Re: Blade Runner 2 predictions
The marketing will obviously try to convince us all that we love the original, which will probably make 2049 a mild hit. I am thinking somewhere in the $115m region. Hoping for less than $50m. Something has got to well and truly fuck up for Hollywood to stop bringing back old franchises 30 years later.

Re: Blade Runner 2 predictions
WTF are you all rambling about. Blade Runner has always been and remained a very much cult classic. It never garnered huge mass appeal nor it will. t has a rather loud following though and it's very much always visible somewhere. No reason to believe the sequel that very much continues the story will do big numbers. BR adjusted gross is the mark to expect. That's $80m. Anything above - overperformance. Anything under $50m would be a disappointment.
And I don't think BR2 and Kingsman 2 will take away much from each other either. I think they complement each other nicely. One is a bleak sci-fi movie, the other is fun comedic spy romp.

Nah, Blade Runner is clearly aiming for the Martin/Gravity/Interstellar/Arrival slot of sci-fi fall movie for adults. It'll stay. Kingsman should move to like, August, it would kill there, and it's pretty open. As for Blade Runner, it won't be a Gravity/Martian-level breakout, but it should do well. The various YouTube postings of the trailer have already accumulated over 6 million views in the last 24 hours, so there is interest. Tron Legacy actually gives us a nice potential template to look at, another sequel to a 1982 sci-fi flick that disappointed at the box office but gained a cult. While this won't have the Disney machine to push it hard, I think Blade Runner has an overall stronger reputation, and with a quality director like Villeneuve at the helm, quality should be good too. I think it has a lot of potential. Opening: $42.7 million Total: $144.3 million (3.38)

Re: Blade Runner 2 predictions
Villeneuve is another factor. The guy has already made two movies in two years and has to do the oscar circuit for Arrival now. It's not like Blade Runner is some $2m Woody Allen pic that you can knock out in a month.

It's not like Blade Runner is some $2m Woody Allen pic that you can knock out in a month. IMDB lists the film as already in post-production, and Gosling (who sounds like the true lead of the film) is promoting La La Land, so he must be done. So it's now up to the editors and the visual effects guys to make sure it's done on time. Villeneuve is just a very productive guy - he filmed both Prisoners and Enemy in early 2013 and had them both ready for TIFF in the fall.

Re: Blade Runner 2 predictions
It's a sequel to Blade Runner, so it makes sense why internet/movie geeks are losing their shit over it, but honestly as good as the teaser is I don't believe it's enough to excite the casual moviegoer just yet. Maybe once the next trailer shows a bit more of the spectacle I can get a better read on it, but for now I have no idea what it's going to do.

Re: Blade Runner 2 predictions
Villeneuve films:
Prisoners $21m/$61m Sicaro $12m/$47m (platform release) Arrival $24m/$90m+
As long as the movie is good, this should be a lock for $100m+

Re: Blade Runner 2 predictions
I think this has a chance at $200 m + now or potentially even $250 m +.
This will be Ryan Gosling's follow up to La La Land. I expect the buzz and anticipation for this will grow immensely as La La Land is now becoming an outright pop culture phenomenon over even The Notebook. Expect the art crowd to come, action fans, smart adult thriller crowd, Harrison Ford fans, original Blade Runner fans, and now a huge fanbase of La La Land fans that will end up seeing this because of Gosling. Internationally, La La Land will also help increase Gosling's exposure and audience reach to help this even further.
It's a career making moving for Gosling at a whole other level that Blade Runner will benefit. Think Charlie and the Chocolate Factory post POTC 1 for Depp, Sherlock Holmes for RDJ post Iron Man 1, etc. I can't possibly see a scenario for this to not beat Tron with those years of inflation unless its really, really bad but Gosling seems to be pretty good about choosing his projects.

Re: Blade Runner 2 predictions
Though Ford came off of Raiders with the original.. It does always seem like a limited kind of film. I think La La Land will help with the opening now. I feel more comfortable saying this can at least do 100 million, maybe 120 million. Which I think would be incredible.
I wouldn't put La La Land in the realm of Depp or RDJ off of their films. Especially as far as Oscars go, he is behind every actor in the drama character of the Globes this year.

Re: Blade Runner 2 predictions
It reminds me of Tron Legacy. A similar performance relative to the original is over 150 million.
