Some good news for Glenn Jacobs finally

[takermark]

See No Evil has reportedly brought in $32.5 million back in revenue and the movie only cost $8 mill to make. DVD sales have greatly helped him bring back more than 4$ times the cost leaving them with $28.5 million in profit. Pretty good news for a movie that some people (myself included) thought would bomb out.

[Voldemar H. "Brak" Guerta]

This is nice and all, but I definitely don't want to see See No Evil 2, or The Marine 2 for that matter. In related news, however, The Condemned looks and sounds fantastic.

The only way I'd accept another See No Evil movie is if its title was"

See No Evil Snakes on a Plane.

I'd see that every afternoon after work.

[Ishmeal Loves BBL Bayley]

I was thinking more along the lines of See No Marine.

[WHATAMANOOOVER]

And The Marine bombed out last I checked.

See No Evil was a decent horror movie. But I had no interest in seeing the Marine...and will never develop any.

[AriadosMan]

See No Evil wouldn't bomb, horror movies can usually at least make their budget back, especially ones as cheaply made as it.
Action movies are the more dangerous sell.

According to Wikipedia, the Marine's budget was $15M which probably doens't include the advertising dollars. I read somewhere on some other wrestling website that the ad dollars made the budget skyrocket up to around $25M. To date, the Marine's box office gross revenue was approximately $20M, bringing it close to the break-even mark.

See No Evil brought in roughly $15M from the box office, so if the overall revenue figure of $32.5M is accurate, that means it made $17.5M on DVD sales so far. Honestly, I think the Marine will have the same figure as far as DVD sales go, roughly $15M, which will make its total revenue figure be somewhere in the $35M - $40M range. Sure, The Marine wasn't as profitable as See No Evil from a percentage standpoint, but it will make a nice profit of roughly $10M - $15M. That means in the span of just two solely produced WWE Films, they will have earned roughly $30M - $35M in net operating profit, not bad when you consider that the WWE's revenue as a whole for fiscal 2006 was $400M and a net operating profit of $47M.

As long as Vince and WWE Films can continue to pump out movies that cost $10M - $30M and release them in theaters across the country, he'll make a great deal of money.

To put it another way, WM 23 already has had ticket sales of $4.3M, and with the remaining tickets left to be sold let's say the live gate take climbs to $5.0M. Let's also assume that PPV sales reach $50M (1,000,000 buys at $50 each); WM 23 is probably costing the WWE at least 50% of the total revenue, making it's net operating profit roughly $27.5M. That means that the profits from See No Evil will be greater than the profit from WM 23; the biggest event in WWE history. Its pretty amazing.

Also, according to Wikipedia on WWE Films, "The Marine 2" may already be in the works. The President of WWE Films has expressed interest in making a sequel, but the idea has yet to receive the "green light". After seeing the returns from just two solely produced fims, no matter how bad they are from a fan standpoint, I bet Vince gives the "green light" to make it.

"WHAT?! AGAIN!?"

I just want to see a Vampire Hunter movie from WWE films. Edge could be the main villian. Kevin Thorne could get a cameo as a vampire lackey who gets staked.

I just can't figure out who the hero would be. Maybe Vince.

*Edge looks around to discover the room he is in is doused with gasoline*
Edge: What is this about?!
Vince: YOUR FIRRRRED!
*Vince throws down a lit match*

[Bobafett]

na.. how about a Stoner Movie with RVD a UPS worker whos a bit of a stoner and is deliviering an important package..and theres all sorts of hilarity as he loses it and other chaotic adventures..

Or RVD's a security guard who loses the prisoner he's escorting..

or something..

I mean everyone loves a good stoner movie

I'd pay to see it. WWE need to do a comedy next, perhaps satrring The Rock, Chris Jericho, Big Shwo and King Bukahh sicne theyr'e all naturally funny guys.



The Marine 2? What can they do for that? Theyv'e already had his wife taken, so they can't do 'This time it's personal' unless John Triton somehow saves himself from being kidnapped. hey've had him no sell a gas station blowing up, more explosions and who knows what else (I never saw the film, thank God. I only saw the 20 million trailers for it during SD). What else can they hoenstly do?


I am looking forward to The Condemned, however. What exactly is the plot, I keep forgetting.

A couple things I would want:

Snitsky tripping about feet.

Haas & Benjamin: The World's Greatest Stoners. Haas continually runs into things and has the catchphrase "That is why it's called tripping!"

I'm not defending the film in no means, but you can't really say it bombed yet.
If it doesn't do well after it's DVD release than you can call it a bomb, but truth be told movies make upwards of 70-75% of there profit from DVD sales.

See No Evil 2: Hear no Evil

Starring:

Glen 'Kane' Jacobs as Jacob Goodnight, Paris Hilton as the woman he loves, Jimmy Fallon as the guy who laughs at his own jokes, Fred Burrows as himself, and Samuel L. Jackson.

It's a guaranteed hit.

I love how you just threw Samuel L. Jackson in there with no explanation, cause truth be told he is in almost everything.

While your arguement was well thought out and articulate may i just point out that John Cena cant wrestle and Vince McMahon is an egomaniac therefor these movies were not successes, infact they bombed, the WWE will fold within the year, and TNA will take over and do movies staring Jeff Jarret as a washed up musician who's family buys a record studio and is propelled to stardom even though he really has no talent. Its gonna be way more awesome than anything the WWE could do.
