According to Yahoo Movies.
This is better than the reports from the newsboard were predicting, and kind of surprising, all things considered.
So yeah.

It's taken $12 mil now right?
It cost $15
So it's going to break even after DVD sales, not a total dissapointment, but not a total failure either
Plus there's the wroldwide market to pimp

Not as bad as the propaganda machine that is wrestling news boards made it out to be. Breaking even is an accomplishment from where I am sitting.

This is me expressing glee that The Departed will make over $100 million before it's done in the Top 10.

About 12.5 in two weeks.
Even considering the reduced views, it should make back that other 2.5 in the month.
Compared to what I thought it would do, this is phenomenal.
It's not great, but like you said, not a total failure.
So...Fifteen Bucks to make

Is there a difference here to voice your opinion on? I mean either way you saying that it wasn't bad. Just thought I would point that out.

Anyone have any idea how much Cena was paid for this?
El Fangel
10-23-2006, 06:53 PM
Reportingly 15 million.
Mr. Aristocrat

I know that was the film's total budget, but what did Cena make...
El Fangel

15 Million. What don't you understand, the movie cost 15 million, that was to hire Cena. The crew and everyone else didn't get paid.

Was that ever disclosed?

I thought the budget was 30 mil.

Bad jokes, marines look stupid and a bad film worse.

Let me try...
John Cena made bad jokes, he made Marines look stupid and he took a bad film and made it worse.
Kane Knight
10-23-2006, 10:27 PM
Well, assuming that's right:
It's an action movie. Jokes tend to be corny.
They're Marines. You have to be dumb to sign up to be essentially cannon fodder.
I don't think any movie with Robert Patrick can really be called BAD.

How did it gross? Is that based on the US market alone?

Well it was $15 to make, but when you consider all the publicity behind it after it was made, I guess after production it could be higher. But that's the first I've heard of it.
Apart from a bunch of big explosion effects I don't know what else the budget would of been on, don't think Robert Patrick costs over a million surely?
McLegend
10-24-2006, 11:06 AM
Yeah I heard Production was $23 mil to make, and $10 mil for advertising.
Also about the Kane movie it probably well ended up grossing the same... I think. That didn't cost nearly as much money as the Cena movie though so you would see Kane's movie did alright.
Kane Knight

I have to laugh, too. I checked IMDB to see what it cost (Didn't see it), but saw some people on the forum complaining about the beginning of the movie. Apparently, Marines are so sensitive that if someone is wearing the wrong cap and salutes in the wrong order, it kills the whole "let's fellate the target practice guys" vibe.
My best friend's in the Marines. Hated this movie. Called Cena a "pussy."
We all had a good laugh.

See No Evil was doing profit before it left theaters. The DVDs will essentially be all profit for the companies behind it.

The question is how much it takes to break even (Sicne all the numbers seem to be hearsay) and how much the Marine makes before it leaves theaters.
In looking up the past few Raw ratings, I noticed Dave Scherer from Insider was also bashing the Marine, talking about how it wasn't playing to large crowds on its first weekend. I'm sorry, it's obvious he didn't like it, and even I think it could have been better, but when a movie is #6, any implication that the movie isn't playing to sizable crowds is just petty and stupid.
I'm not sure why everyone's going so far out of their way to make this movie a failure. Shouldn't Vince be able to do that on his own? :shifty:
It's not doing phenomenal, but the way people are panning it, you'd think it drew fifteen bucks at the box office...

In percentages this movie has done a hell of alot better than films like Superman Returns

Now I finally know why I fell asleep in that theatre, and didn't want to remember why. You reminded me of $9, not well spent thanks alot :mad:

Mostly because it's 1/3 the length. :shifty:

Did anyone ever notice that in that movie Superman solves all his problems by lifting stuff? and thats sometimes he stuggles to lift a car, but doesn't struggle nearly as much when lifting an entire f'n continent.

Actually, I think Cena is a solid worker and has a lot of charisma and talent on the mic. I just hate the boring ass character he plays 80% of the time.

The best part of The Marine is the <strike>rock candy joke</strike> trailer for the Borat movie.
