It'll probably end up doing okay. The main business lies in the overseas markets.

where do I join?

Re: How bad will xXx: The Return No One Wanted flop?

A few weeks ago I would have said it's a pretty obvious pick for biggest movie of January. Now I don't think so.

Re: How bad will xXx: The Return No One Wanted flop?

It will probably do alright in the U.S. I don't think the inauguration is going to affect the box office too much this weekend. It will do well overseas, though, where Vin Diesel is a big draw.

OW: $25M
FG: $65M

where Vin Diesel is a big draw.


Based on what exactly???

Diesel is a bit of a strange case to me, he is one of the biggest social media personality in the world :

Almost the same has Dwayne Johnson.

That must transfer in some drawing power if he ever make a good movie (that match is fan base, not Billy Lynn's), all that easy awareness he can give to a movie for free.

Did he played the lead in one good non establish franchise movie release in the social media era thought ?, I'm not sure, but he if it happen it should do well, XXX still did 277 million in 2002 (really good for a 70 million movie) and he was the main drawing factor in this I think. It just never happened and seeing that the reviews embargo is still on for a january 20 review, it will probably not happen in the near future.

Well, look at Ed Balls in the UK. More people voted for him when he was dancing spectacularly badly on the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing than ever voted for him when he was an MP and Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Re: How bad will xXx: The Return No One Wanted flop?

The obvious answer is it will do better than the second film, but worse than the first.

I would guess roughly $20 million opening and $50 million final, may do a bit better overseas, but still don't think we see a xXx 4.

Re: How bad will xXx: The Return No One Wanted flop?

It seems to be doing nicely overseas though.

Re: How bad will xXx: The Return No One Wanted flop?

I wonder if the overseas performance will be enough for xXXx.

After ten years or so, I've finally changed my signature!

Re: How bad will xXx: The Return No One Wanted flop?

Doesn't look like it unless it really explodes in China: it's out in most non-Asian territories and dropped 53% in its second overseas weekend.


"Security - release the badgers."

Re: How bad will xXx: The Return No One Wanted flop?

looks like it will break even but won't spawn any more movies.



Interesting how Diesel was a bigger draw in the early 2000s before he got such a massive social media following

Re: How bad will xXx: The Return No One Wanted flop?


it really explodes in China


Did really well, it opened close to 62 million, should be enough to save the movie and bode well for what Furious 8 could do.

Re: How bad will xXx: The Return No One Wanted flop?

Is Vin Diesel China's kryptonite?

Re: How bad will xXx: The Return No One Wanted flop?

I guess your exception came to pass after all.

China saving another domestic flop, interesting.
