Well, the film has just crossed the $100 million mark domestically. The production and marketing costs were $100 million. So everything they make from here on domestically, internationally and on DVD/Cable/tv is strictly profit. You can be assured there will be a sequel.

Woohoo!

but dont you have to add up the cost of the marketing??

I know Batman Begins was made for 150 million, but they spent 30 mill. on marketing so in total cost it took 180 million.

so how much did F4 cost to advertise??

Watch something in the way it was created. never assume a remade version is better if u havent seen the original

Bruce Banner:"You found me"
Betty Ross: "You werent hard to find"
Bruce Banner: "Yes I was"

The coolest line in an incredible movie

85% of the cost of their marketing was paid for by product tie-ins and product placement. The remaining costs are included in the $100 million cost of production.

So now everything else is profit.

I think what he meant was that many people were b!tching yesterday about how it was another Hulk and was a failure. He pointed out that this movie has exceed all expectations and everything by the end of this weekend will be profit.


This is great. I personally love this movie I can't wait to see it again.

u r both right.

i didnt prejudge the movie until it came out, i knew that the movie will cross the $100M mark and i knew it will be better then most people thought it would be.

now that the movie is doing way better then expected and didnt drop over 60% 2nd weekend shows that the movie is pretty solid and with all the competition flying around............ such as batman, war of the worlds, mr and mrs smith, and a few others, its good to see this movie shine. i am proud of it. they got the spirit of the movie absolutely right.

this is a deserving franchise.
i am not as big of a fan as the hulk and superman and x-men, but its good to see it come to life properly.

$122.5 million so far. It stayed in 3rd place and should have some legs now that the glut of the summer blockbusters have passed.

I agree with almost everything you said!!!
except I like this one better than Hulk (which I really did like).
I too think they nailed it. and all that crying about Alba. She was excellent. there were scenes where you had to remind yourself it was Jessica Alba playing the part!!!!
