Reading the other threads about what a miserable year Universal is having (which to me seems to be both Monday Moning QB-ing and schadenfreude) inspired me to ask you people to play Studio Boss for a minute.
The following films are scheduled to be released in Sept/Oct 2010. All you have to do is pick 3 films that you would have green lit and then 3 that you would have killed.
I guarantee there’s not a person here who can get all 6 right, because to me, box office is a combination of luck, marketing and the arbitrary whims of film goers. Though I’d love someone to prove me wrong.
The American
Going The Distance
Machete
Resident Evil: Afterlife
Alpha & Omega
Devil
Easy A
The Town
Jack Goes Boating
You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger
Legend Of The Guardians: The Owls Of Ga’Hoole
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
You Again
It’s Kind Of A Funny Story
Bagman
Let Me In
The Social Network
Life As We Know It
My Soul To Take
Secretariat
Conviction
Jack Ass 3D
Hereafter
Paranormal Activity 2
Saw 3D
For the sake of argument, lets say a hit has to earn back 1.5 times it's budget worldwide and a bomb would be .5
Obviously, this thread will die for a couple of months but then we'll see whats what.
