Looked up the RT score for After Earth it's at 12% damn Also World War Z went so over budget it's going to have to make at least $800 million to simply break even. That's hyperbole, right?

Rumors are that it's production budget are at $400 million(!!!!). So by the basic rule of thumb, $800 million sounds right.

The biggest one right now is Cutthroat Island, and that lost $145 million (inflation adjusted). Lets put it into perspective with zombie movies though. boxofficemojo.com/genres/chart/?id=zombie.htmboxofficemojo.com/showdowns/chart/?id=vs-zombie.htmTake out the animated kids movies and you have a genre that's capped out at $300 million worldwide with Resident Evil afterlife. After that, you have movies that tend to average between $50 million and $150 million. If this isn't the biggest box office bomb of all time, then Brad Pitt is a miracle worker.

I think World War Z, depending on the reviews might surprise a lot of people. But then again I think the whole zombie craze is starting to die down.

I wouldn't say that's a good basis since Warm Bodies was a sleeper hit especially with barely any advertisement and Walking Dead's ratings are strong and aren't they going up by every season?

I knew After Earth would struggle, but man it bombed hard. $29.7 million worldwide on a $130 million budget. It has no shot of coming close to breaking even. Seeing Will Smith fail will probably keep any serious actors far away from M. Night's movies.

Wouldn't this be Will Smith's first flop in a long time? Every film he's been in has pretty much been a huge success. I remember he had a streak of films that were number one in the box office.

You'd more than likely have to go back to Wild Wild West in '99. It's budget was estimated at 170 million and made slightly below 114 million at the box office. From boxofficemojo.com link

Forecast (June 7-9) 1. The Purge - $24.5 million 2. Fast & Furious 6 - $17.6 million (-50%) 3. Now You See Me - $16.9 million (-42%) 4. The Internship - $16.4 million 5. Star Trek - $10.5 million (-37%) 6. Epic - $10.4 million (-37%) 7. After Earth - $10.1 million (-63%) Pretty low projections all around. The calm before the Man of Steel/Monsters University storm?

That number seems pretty high for The Purge.

That number seems pretty high for The Purge. SINISTER (Hawke's last horror flick, which did well all around) made $18mil its opening weekend. ......this could do better, but I'm not sure that much better. Surprised INTERNSHIP is so low, though. Curious to see how that does.

Well, he's got a rep now for being in very good/rather successful nu-horror flicks. That was where I was coming from. When I first saw the trailer for this, I saw Ethan Hawke was in it and assumed, based on SINISTER's success, that this would do well too.

What I think The Purge has over Sinister is that the premise behind it is one that I think makes a lot of people curious. It might have the most interesting movie premise in a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if The Purge exceeds all reasonable expectations. I wouldn't necessarily be surprised if it did not just the same, though. I'm hoping it does well so that a sequel could be made that truly explores that premise, something like Purge 2: Times Square or something like that.

As per usual with these types of movies, I knew nothing of the premise going into it. And I simply cannot fathom having it any other way. Not knowing a thing about it going into the movie is theater experience magic. Not a perfect movie. But the idea is. Brilliant brilliant premise.

Am I the only one who thinks the premise of The Purge is so silly that I can't even suspend my belief in the film?
