- town and country still reigns -- nm - zeitgeist May 29, 12:34
- Neither one will fail due to international box office. -- nm - David May 29, 12:27 15
  - I agree with this. If one were to tank, I'd bet on After Earth. I think they can milk Johnny Depp to make back international cash on Ranger. - Jim May 29, 12:33
  - yep....nm - x May 29, 12:32
  - aren't Westerns a tough sale internationally? (historically speaking) -- nm - Diva May 29, 12:29 12
    - I consider this a western in air quotes. It's a Johnny Depp showcase. Disney's global marketing arm is the envy of its peers. -- nm - David May 29, 12:39 11
      - yeah, it's more an action movie of a familiar old licensed property than western...nm - x May 29, 12:42
      - (and fwiw, Wild Wild West doubled its box office gross overseas) -- nm - David May 29, 12:39 9
        
        that's one. -- nm - Diva May 29, 12:46 3
        
        how many westerns of any stripe get made these days? the recent sample size is pretty small.... - x May 29, 12:50
        
        My point is that even bombs here do at least as well overseas if released wide enough. -- nm - David May 29, 12:47 1
        
        oh i know (and mostly agree.) - Diva May 29, 12:54
        
        I wonder why it is that other countries don't seem to care a lot about quality in their films. -- nm - Jim May 29, 12:41 4
        
        Attaining revenue from global box office is a fool's endeavor at this point but the market hasn't even scratched the surface yet. - David May 29, 12:43
        
        even the worst Hollywood release still has production values infinitely higher than what a local market is likely to produce -- nm - charlie May 29, 12:43 2
        
        i think large audiences often like crap....nm - x May 29, 12:51 1
        
        True...but when even the American public realizes that something is crap...they can still count on overseas cash...that's kinda scary. - Jim May 29, 12:59

  - Well, they built real trains, for starters. -- nm - Spawn May 29, 12:21
- Lone Ranger -- nm - decline May 29, 12:19
- After Earth. Disney is going to milk the Lone Ranger and make it work come hell or high water. They'll probably kill it with international b.o. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) May 29, 12:16 2
  - Just like John Carter. - Spawn May 29, 12:18 1
    - this was on the other day and I watched a bit again. Gawd, what a disapointment it was. -- nm - decline May 29, 12:30

        yep. - b. May 29, 12:44
  - like the folded kind? not a bad idea. maybe I should switch to that. -- nm - amanda May 29, 12:13 2
    - Not a fan of fold lines, though. -- nm - Spawn May 29, 12:20
