How much will Vice flop?
This really needed great reviews and Oscar attention. With a 61 on MC will anyone want to watch a Dick Cheney biopic on Christmas? The movie is about 10 years and 3 months too late

Re: How much will Vice flop?
It won't flop. Its performances should garner enough attention, plus there's always people on both sides that are always interested to see what the filmmakers take on it is. And what do we consider a flop anyway? I think if it does $50 million, it's done fine. Below $30 million, yes that would be a flop. But anywhere in-between will be fine-ish.

Re: How much will Vice flop?
I don't think it will flop but right now - its not looking like it can reach The Big Short's ~$70m.
It still has Golden Globe nominations and Bale is getting great buzz. The subject is intriguing enough. So should have enough support.
Probably about $45-$55m which would be disappointing but not a disaster.

Re: How much will Vice flop?
I mean, it will get Oscar nominations for at least Bale and Adams so with the star power, Globes nominations, eventual Oscar nominations, etc... I don't think it will flop. Probably 50-60 Million.

Re: How much will Vice flop?
I'm actually looking forward to this - Bale as Cheney looks amazing, and Rockwell looks like he turns in an entertaining W. The passing of Bush senior likely has drummed up some additional interest.
It doesn't really have much direct Oscar bait competition. The Big Short (which would have a very similar audience) had both Concussion and Joy for biopic competition. There should be plenty of space for this.
On the down side, getting people to pay to watch more politics these days is asking a lot.

I know McKay is a “serious filmmaker” now, but this movie would bank so much if it switched casts with Holmes and Watson.

Re: How much will Vice flop?
I'd say it will do respectable $50m but it won't enough for its $60m budget (they definitely seem to have overspent) and its hardly going to make any money in OS markets.

Re: How much will Vice flop?
$60m budget? It would need about $130m domestic to break even considering no one outside the US knows who Dick Cheney is.
Itz a bomb

But yes its foreign gross wont be making up for any domestic short fall.

Re: How much will Vice flop?
I was never expecting this to be a big breakout hit. A $50-$60M total seems respectable enough for it, although the potential was probably there for much more.

Re: How much will Vice flop?
It was not designed to break out. It was made for awards and a "respectable" gross, which it will probably accomplish.

Re: How much will Vice flop?
The studio behind this film will probably have their hands full with if Beale Street could talk for the awards season. Plus Wolfie 59 MC score in a 67% rating on Rotten Tomatoes after 120 reviews I think it's safe to say this won't be going to the Oscars for any major Awards. This had the potential to be as critical and commercially successful as the big short but it seems like Adam McKay dropped the ball

Re: How much will Vice flop?
Even though I mostly liked the trailer, the MOST IMPORTANT TRUE STORY YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT title cards were always obnoxious. So if it flops hard I won't be too sad. That's just bad marketing.

Re: How much will Vice flop?
W. Only earned 25m and that was 2008 when his approval was under like 20%. I’m thinking 40m or less. And before you mention reviews or awards, how much more did Steve Jobs earn than the Aston Kutcher movie?
