Lion Heart 15,041 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 EuropaCorp’s Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets performed miserably here in the states, and in one of the 16 markets it released to internationally last weekend — Germany — it opened under Despicable Me 3’s third weekend with $2.9 million versus DM3‘s $3.6 million. Throughout last week and the weekend, we heard that STX, which distributed in the U.S., was on the hook for only about $5M, had a distribution fee of about 10%, and that the P&A was being shouldered by EuropaCorp. Then that was disputed. Others said the roughly $60M in P&A was being shouldered by STX. What’s true? Read on. The movie, written, directed and produced by Besson, is based on a French comic series and is now known as the most expensive indie ever produced, with a price tag of $200M-$210M. It now has the potential of becoming one of the most expensive flops. The film stars Dane DeHaan, Cara Delevingne, Clive Owen, Rihanna, Kris Wu, John Goodman and Ethan Hawke, and is based on the Valerian And Laureline comic Besson revered as a child. Besson told Deadline in May, that if Valerian does as well as Lucy territory ($460M+), “then we’re fine.” .. Added another executive: “Everyone is going to lose money on this. It’s sad actually. This kind of failure actually hurts the business, not just the companies with a financial stake involved.” http://deadline.com/2017/07/valerian-who-loses-luc-besson-europacorp-fundamental-films-stx-1202134583/ ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion Heart 15,041 Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 Is Cara DeLaVigne cursed? I notice all her main movies are ****ing awful: "Paper Towns", "Pan", "SUICIDE SQUAD", "Kids in Love", and now "Valerian". And who thought investing 200 MILLION on this movie- over a book series that few people know off- was a good idea?? I can't. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

River 117,767 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I watched the movie knowing it was bad and actually it's the worst movie I ever watched in the last years.. it's like an expensive B movie with a blockbuster CGI quality.. and imo Cara needs to stop with acting, for real, it's just no the good job for her I guess.. So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florian 19,982 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Valérian is the 2nd biggest debut in France (better than Fast and Furious, 50shades darker and Pirate of Carribean) and the biggest debut of Luc Besson (a well known french producer who made Lucy and the 5th Element) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0ne 13,105 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I was hyped and interested in seeing this movie from the trailers. It's gotten mixed reviews from critics and audiences, but I'll probably end up enjoying it. "My people… need to let our bitchiness out.
