So that they can make more money, duh.

I thought that grind house was one movie or basically two mini movies in one

It WAS, it flopped so badly they now gave up on that idea and have edited them as two seperate films.

I don't know about Planet Terror but Death Proof works perfectly alone. Gonna see it again tonight.

Jackie Brown and Reservoir Dogs were flops.

Reservoir Dogs wasnt as it only cost $1.5 million, it made that back in the UK alone (I saw it in the cinema back then). None of his films can be counted as a flop yet, as Video, TV and DVD always make his films masive amounts of cash.

Only Grindhouse so far seems a little odder than usual, not even sure if it will make the $150 million it cost to make and promote it, maybe in a year or two after DVD sales

everyones over reacting in my mind, yes it didnt hit home at the Box Office in america, but hell who cares as long as the films good I say

many great films dont make cash.

Shame we in the UK may have to wait over a year after america to see Planet terror in cinemas!

Ok, I suppose I could understand how some naive individual would think Jackie Brown was a flop based on the fact that most Tarantino fans consider it is "lesser" effort and it didn't quite blow the world away at the box office like Pulp Fiction did, but what crack have you been smoking to think Reservoir Dogs was in any way shape or form a flop?

Reservoir Dogs: Budget = $1.2million, Worldwide Gross = $22million ($2.8million Domestic Gross)
Jackie Brown: Budget = $12million, Worldwide Gross = $84.4million ($39.6million DOmestic Gross)

In summation: Jackie Brown & Reservoir Dogs = Not flops.

Many people say films flop when they have only been out in america, as hell america is the world to most people

Most films in the end always make cash I say, even the biggest cash loosers of all time made a tonne in reality when you aDd up everything to do with it (Vids, Dvds. TV Sales, pay per view, muisic, games and crap)

Kill Bill for instance, imagine how much cash that suckers made by now

most people own the dvds, I own swords, cds and crap like that too

they have had a lot out of me and will get more when they pull their fingers out and shower us with a new DVD set for the film

I wish there was a reliable source out there which added together all the cash films make, IMDB is ok, but very wrong a lot of the time and really dont go into much detail as to how many units they shift on Dvd and how much profit they made in the end etc..

yes I would love to know that too . I've often wondered how many DVDs a TV show or movie has sold in the various countries around the world.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 15 Jun 2007, 15:56

yup it would be nice to know, as a lot of studios acctually lie, or supress actual figues.

I remember Final Fantasy The Spirits Within, a film reportedly costing $200+ million by the makers, then it flopped so hard it scared them and they instanty changed the figure to about half of that what they said it cost

then the dvds came out and it was gigantic on dvd and I think the top selling title that year! and they raised the budget again

gota love them people. the net brings up so many false figures, or messed with figures its hard to beleve a word they say

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 15 Jun 2007, 18:47

How could it flop? It wasn't released. Eva meant flopped in America, I think.

Why will it take that long?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 15 Jun 2007, 19:18

Because thats when its coming out, March next year at the earliest. They are leaving 6 months betwen Death Proof and Planet Terror

UK gets shafted hard. We will all have them on DVD by then.

and Brad its will and has flopped, it wont make its cash back even worldwide, and its out in a few countries now and isnt making cash as the one film or two. No way its gonna make $150 million worldwide in cinemas, not a chance in hell.

Death Proof is ok not great in it's grindhouse inarnation-i'm hoping the extended version hopefully being released will be better.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 15 Jun 2007, 20:42

Romero weren't you talking about the film originally being one film, it flopped and so they released it into two films, right? (that's what you seem to say above anyway) If so my point was that there has been no release of it in one film so how could it flop?

That's what I meant, not that the two cuts haven't flopped as I've no idea on that front.

Confused.

p.s - So has some version already been released and I completely missed it?

Kill Bill up at amazon but they are saying november

Yup it was One film, called Grindhouse to begin with

its been out a bit in a few places (not UK

) but its showing on little screens, with little sucess sadly

a failed experiment they are putting it down to. Mainly america really it failed in, thats where Weinsteiner rules so thats the end of that.

Now they are breaking it up for most countries (including america) and trying it again, but again its not doing so well either it seems. Hey as long as its good I dont care if it makes cash, its just a shame they aint brining the full Grinhouse film out in UK

I see Amazon list Kill Bill as NC17, solid info there

even Weinerstiens wouldnt release it with an NC17.

It was released theatrically in America as one film. All the mainstream tards left the cinema after Planet Terror, thinking that the film was over and thus they all missed Death Proof. How could you not know this?

Tards

I love it when the audience is as thick as pigshit, like going to see a film and finding out its got subtitles, so many walk out

As most recently experienced with "Apocalypto" and "Letters from Iwo Jima".

Breaking it up for all countries actually.

The good thing is that the new cut of Death Proof includes one of my favourite scenes (the b/w scene, which apparently wasn't in Grindhouse). But the fake trailers are nowhere to be found, argh...

Death Proof was the second most watched film in Finland two weeks ago when it opened, and last weekend it was number 3. And Planet Terror is still to come.

Not that it will make that much money but it may not be a total flop in the end.
