The budget for Midway was $98 million. Vom 4. bis zum 7. That makes sense, since they kept the genre alive almost singlehandedly (via Jason Statham vehicles and the like) during the 2003-2013 period where Hollywood was gun-shy about R-rated action-adventure movies. “The Shining” sequel called “Dr. Once it gets to around $30 million, which it should by Friday, it’s smooth sailing whether the movie legs out or not. That’s why you’ve been hearing about more Gerard Butler-as-Mike Banning flicks in development. Emmerich zeigt gewaltige Bilder, die nicht ohne Pathos auskommen. Gedreht wurde auch an einigen Originalschauplätzen, vieles entstand am Computer. Anna and Rambo: Blood didn’t work out, but John Wick: Chapter 3 was a super-sized smash ($322 million worldwide) and Angel Has Fallen out-grossed ($69 million) London Has Fallen ($62 million) in North America. Inhaltlich dreht sich "Midway" um die Pazifik-Schlachten des Zweiten Weltkriegs: Der Film beginnt mit dem Angriff der Japaner auf Pearl Harbour am 7.
Anyway, presuming Midway legs out, and it’s A Cinemascore grade implies it might (give or take if audiences actually show up to Ford v. Ferrari), Lionsgate will have another small-scale action hit on their hands. Immerhin zeigt der deutsche Regisseur mit Wohnsitz Los Angeles, dass er - wie es sich für einen Schwaben gehört - gut haushalten kann.

But with Netflix eating up the quality product, and “The Irishman”– our putative Best Picture– in just a few odd theaters, this is a weird season.

Flop Der letzte Film von Emmerich, „Independence Day 2“ hatte wenig Erfolg: 380 Millionen Dollar Einspielergebnis bei 165 Millionen Produktionskosten. To be fair, the film’s $17.6 million Fri-Sun opening weekend isn’t all that great, especially when you factor the film’s (depending on who you ask) $70-to-$100 million budget, but Lionsgate is only responsible for domestic (and UK) distribution fees and related marketing costs. I saw the film in a packed Monday noon Dolby Cinema showing, and it mostly works as promised. Angel Has Fallen was surprisingly good, and it has earned $133 million worldwide on a $40 million budget, pretty close to the $152 million global gross, sans $52 million in China, that London Has Fallen earned on a $60 million budget in 2016. Within this post, you will be told the budget of this movie, along with the star cast release date, and some other important things. Then there’s “Last Christmas,” which seems so…last Christmas, took in $4 million Friday and will be regifted to airplanes soon. An important part of any film is its box office collection.

Midway may not be a global hit, but it is a win for Lionsgate.

Last night Fox Searchlight jacked up the number of theaters to 802 and made just $1.13 million. Auch seine Budgets sind nicht mehr so groß: Nach dem Flop von "Independence Day 2" muss er sich mit weniger zufriedengeben, knapp 100 Millionen kostete "Midway", sein neuer Film.

The domestic run looks to close in the mid $50M range.

Da geht man mit den Fliegern der Amerikaner so richtig in den Sturzflug und steuert auf wahnwitzig um sich ballernde Flugzeugträger zu, dass einem der Atem stockt. Emmerich then helmed The Patriot (2000) and the only other picture to emerge from the Sony/Centropolis deal was the flop The Thirteenth Floor (1999). He began to pitch the project to studios and expected the $125M budgeted film to be picked up by one of the majors at auction.
