Hot Toys: Prometheus - MOVIE SPOILERS!

[Khev]

Who cares really? Either you like the movie or you don't but it looks like a sequel is in the future. Pages of back and forth over domestic and overseas earnings are getting really old and i'm sick of it. Would like to just discuss the movie and possibilities of the next chapter - good or bad but can we just move on?

Some of us are just having fun systematically dismissing silly claims about Prometheus not being a financial success. 130 million dollar budget with a 402 million dollar worldwide gross + greenlit sequel and record breaking home video sales = success. Period.

Yeah, yeah I know he's trolling but he's trying to come off as trolling with accurate information. Not quite.

Gone are the days of studios obsessing over domestic dollars. Paramount proved that this year when they pulled GI Joe: Retaliation to add 3D to capitalize on Battleship's massively skewed foreign to domestic box office take.

I know but i keep seeing this thread bumped and i check it hoping to find actually news about a hot toys release or pics or something but instead I keep seeing the back and forth on its take domestic and internationally.

You'll see a new thread titled "Hot Toys Prometheus MMS Elizabeth Shaw/David8" or something to that effect when there's any actual news. Until then you can just assume that a thread bump here equates to meaningless discussion about box office/figure wants/critter design, etc.

 

[Devil_666]

Yeah, don't expect much news in here. These kind of threads are like waiting rooms.

I'm sure there is a lot of research that goes into greenlighting a figure,the movie being successful is a small part,what would be more important is how the movie merchandise sold.a movie can make a billion dollars but if the merchandising sales were horrible why would the invest in making a line of figures.

Please, please, please.

Please, please, please.

Because they can.

Because they can.

It's the figure we deserve, but not the one Hot Toys needs right now.

I was actually thinking of Davids conversation with Holloway in Prometheus but I think I can see how you transitioned it to TDK.

 

[greygoose]

^ You guys rock.

Well, TDK will have its reign, then it must fall.

The "trick," Freaks, is not minding that the waiting hurts.

"There is nothing in the desert and no man needs nothing" is also appropriate here.

 

[skooternb]

How far would you go to get your figure?

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

How much money would you be willing to spend?

 

[greygoose]

How much money would you be willing to spend?

Anything and everything.

 

[RIDDICK]

How far would you go to get your figure?

Gojira's ass.

 

[Bazoi]

Anything and everything.

*Dips finger with black goo in drink almost un-noticably and hands it over.

 

[a-dev]

Damn, I haven't seen Prometheus enough to really contribute to all this lovely quoting.

Hopefully a few months from now no one will be quoting Peter Weyland's last line....
