RE: Exodus, Gods and Kings.
But think of the merchandising, exodus, lunchboxes, swords, dead firstborn dolls.... Lots of potential Smile

Hey Jacob, missed your presence ever since I came back a coupla monts ago!
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Hollywood accounting takes place on Ursa Minor Beta and is totally opaque.
But per my son in the movie business: a flick has to make at least double it's nominal production to make any profit at all. So 103million against 140million production looks floplike.

Do the dead firstborn dolls come with rocks to dash them against?
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh

Box office receipts do not all go back to the film's producers.

no, but you get a bottle of blood! Splash it up your door then chuckle in safety as your neighbors infants die.

RE: Exodus, Gods and Kings.
So, the question was interesting and...unlike fucking god...Google provides actual answers!

Quote:An American motion picture studio typically gets back somewhere about 40% to 50% of the domestic box office gross a motion picture makes at the theater. A distribution fee, usually 10% to 12%, is paid to the company that distributes the film (doing much of the advertising and preparation and shipment of the copies of the film).

The movie theaters also get a significant cut, and take an increasing amount of the box office returns the longer a film is in theaters, based on the workings of the deals they have signed with the distribution company. For the first two weeks, most of the money goes to the studio; from week 3 on, increasingly more of the money goes to the movie theater.

Foreign distribution and foreign movie theaters keep more of the box office gross for themselves (often to cover the costs of transporting a motion picture overseas and promoting it there as well). American studios tend to get back something about 30% of box office money earned outside of the United States and Canada.

Since no one wants to see this steaming turd of a movie it seems the studio has made the bulk of what it is going to make.

RE: Exodus, Gods and Kings.
Not surprisingly a lot of the reviews I'm seeing are comparing it to the Cecil b DeMille film. They have been compared and the new one has been found lacking. Which is sad, I like the Ten Commandments. It's a fun film, and I would love to see it updated.

The Charlton Heston version was pious prattle.

And even in that...god came across as a miserable prick.
