 OMG
 
Excerpt: "The movie, which cost $120 million to produce, earned just $26 million in the U.S. during its opening weekend. Crockett estimated a $27.7 million opening weekend. As of this writing, Fantastic Four scores a dismal 9 percent on Rotten Tomatoes."

Did they really not see this coming?  Fox is going to be going even further downhill once Jackman leaves, as the X Men movies haven't really been THAT great to begin with. Their one ray of hope right now is Deadpool

Financially the last X-Men was great for Fox. Doubtful Deadpool will compete with those numbers either being rated R, but there's definitely hope for a good movie there.
 
Yeah I kinda mixed movies actually being good with financially being good - my fault.  Should have added that I don't see Deadpool doing big numbers, but it should be a good movie.  The inverse applies to X Men, though DofP wasn't bad.  Had high hopes for Age of Apocalypse until those images were released lol
 
I think Deadpool will do close to $100 mill. I hope. How much was the budget for the film? They have to break even atleast.
 
Doing rated R probably kills top earning potential.

Unless they go super cheap ( for a cbm) with sub 100 mill budget.
 
Budget for Deadpool is supposedly low, it's the only way the project got a greenlight and to be rated R. WOuldn't be surprised if budget is around $50m-$70m.

R films can be very profitable though, I've mentioned it before but the recent example is Lucy. $40m budget and made ~$450m worldwide. I really see no reason why a Deadpool property, which is much more popular than a brand new story Lucy, can't make half of what Lucy made unless it gets F4 type of reviews. Sure Scarlet is definitely a much bigger draw than Reynolds right now but I think there are a lot of Deadpool fans out there or are at least aware of who he is and a comedic and action packed trailer will attract more to check the film out.

Was just gonna say that I don't remember a big budget rated R movie coming out recently besides Mad Max and Prometheus. Doubt they dropped 100m on production

A 50-70 mil budget sounds reasonable, especially with a guy like Deadpool that doesn't require a lot of special effects.
 
does it bother anyone that they are releasing deadpool in feb? Isn't that usually when movie studios put out their flop movies?
 
I posted it in the Fox thread but they actually had to find a different villain for the film because the initial villain was cgi heavy so that kind of tells you how little their budget is.
 
found the term for it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dump_months

The dump months is a term used in the film community for the two periods of the year when there are lowered commercial and critical expectations for most new releases. Audiences during these periods are smaller than the rest of the year, so no tentpole movies are released. January[1] and February are usually most commonly described this way, with August and September sometimes included.[2] Releases during those times primarily include films that would have been released at other times of year had they done better at test screenings, films with less prominent stars, genre films (particularly horror), movies that cannot be easily marketed and films intended for a teenage audience, which has fewer entertainment options outside the home.

It's been kind of proven that it doesn't really matter when they release it (especially an R-rated film?).

No one expected the Lego Movie to make as much as it did because it was February and that's a kids film. They probably see it as better probability of making more money since they aren't competing with blockbuster films, they have bigger window of less competition. Plus this movie is/was still a risky move for Fox.
