Current Talk '24 I / Re: Depp/Burton DARK SHADOWS Is In Release!!
« on: August 02, 2012, 02:38:03 AM »Interesting article on tentpoles. A brief DS reference.
Very interesting - particularly how the writer says that DS was "bailed out by ever-loyal audiences overseas." It's certainly no secret that DS has been doing well overseas, but if the film really has been "bailed out" by its foreign gross so far, then that is good news to hear. And writers should stop referring to the film as a "flop" or a "bomb" or a "dud." Though, of course, we know they won't.
It's also interesting how the article brings up that "corporate bean counters are ever more secretive" when it comes to the numbers. Makes one wonder if that's the reason why three weeks ago Warner Brothers stopped reporting the foreign tally for DS? It also makes one wonder if we'll ever see an updated foreign tally once DS ends its run in overseas theaters? Or will we have to rely on the bits and pieces that Box Office Mojo will continue to report until they no longer can?
But at any rate, thanks so much for the link, jimbo.
