Here comes the rain again. It's a great time for real Elvis fans and then.

Right... "At this point, however, it's all profit that comes in from continued ticket sales every week Elvis remains in theaters"

Well you’d better go and invest in a good umbrella then because the forecast indicates the sun’s not gonna shine for a couple more weeks yet.

[Jaime1234]

I was thinking, "Top Gun Maverick" 's premiere at Cannes featured 8 jets, flying over Paris. WOW !! Since they have thus far grossed U$1,2 }BILLION globally, that is at US$150 MILLION PER JET!! WOW

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iIHR6AHHnNY/maxresdefault.jpg

Conversely, I have taken note of the fact "Elvis" has thus grossed only US$170 globally with only 1 jet CLEARLY SEEN in the movie. That's US$170 million per jet. LOL

You have brought nothing productive to this thread. And it's based on BS.

Yes. It's a great time to be a Elvis fan.

Here is one of the most productive things to have sprang from Baz' treatmnent of Elvis{ influences, published just a few minutes ago. https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/singer-yola-said-fans-elvis-presleys-hound-dog-pay-homage-originator.html/

Thor dropped 80% compared to last Friday. Is there superhero fatigue? I saw it and thought it was pretty good.

Well you should certainly know all about BS as you write so much of it.

Not sure I get the "productivity" thing either which you continually trot out. My understanding is that being productive is "the efficiency of production of goods or services expressed by some kind of measurement". How can you measure productivity on an Elvis forum? So is this more of your gobbledygook BS that you spew out.

Further, a couple of weeks ago, you wrote that fans were not entitled to be negative about the film if they hadn’t seen it, but if they had, then they could if they didn’t like it. But I enjoyed it when I saw it two days ago, and I guess you either missed my post, or deliberately ignored it, because it didn’t give you an opening to have one of your regular moans. I mean you’d be hard pushed to call it BS wouldn’t you, even though you have just told members that BS is all that I have written on this thread.

https://www.elvis-collectors.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1896752#p1896752

So getting back to the comment about posting nothing but BS, I guess you missed these two posts that I added too - these posts are the kind of things many fans enjoy reading about especially if they were not fans at the time or not even born when things happened - you know, a little bit of actual history from being an Elvis fan back in 1971 and how we enjoyed things back then. And there probably aren’t that many fans left on here who can remember what it was like going to see an actual Elvis movie throughout the 60s and relate little stories too.

So apart from your continued put downs against fans who have written about the break even points of the movie, and those who then challenged you to produce the facts, because you apparently know what those break even points actually are, yet still not given, despite many requests, WHAT EXACTLY HAVE YOU BROUGHT TO THIS THREAD? From what I can tell, a big fat zero.

Jeremy Dick, the writer of that piece is incorrect in the passage you’ve quoted. Which I’m very surprised at as Film writers’ know how the split works.

The article reads more like a press release with a few competent paragraphs added to it so I doubt Mr. Dick is knowledgeable outside of a gussied up press release from Warners’.

[lanadelslay]

But back to Elvis and I can remember the excitement of going to see On Tour when that was released and whilst that was great to watch, I couldn’t believe the difference between Elvis in Aug 70 and Elvis in April 72. I definitely wanted the 1970 Elvis back, but it was never to be.

Yes, there was a huge difference, and it wasn’t just Elvis’ pale skin. He seemed like a different person by 1972.

Exhausted? Giving up on his dreams for a world tour?

Now these are the projections from Variety

“Elvis” should round out the box office’s top five. The Warner Bros. release added $2.3 million on Friday, only 32% down from one week ago. The Baz Luhrmann-directed biopic surpassed a $100 million domestic gross this week — an impressive result for a drama aimed squarely at older audiences.

[Jaime1234]

Argentinean "experts" just informed their readers that "Elvis" sneaked in the podium, at #3 against all odds. They also forecast Lightyear, which came in fourth, by 100 tickets, will overtake it Saturday and Sunday.

At 7 US bucks a ticket, Elvis grossed US$131,000 in two days. https://www.cinesargentinos.com.ar/noticia/6705-elvis-se-colo-en-el-podio/

In Spanish it reads "El estreno con mejor rendimiento de la semana fue Elvis que apuntando a un público adulto en este mes de julio, logró colarse en el podio de la taquilla. En el primer lugar cómodas y distantes están Minios y Thor, pero Elvis le robó el tercer lugar a Lightyear. En los dos días del comienzo de la semana logró vender 18.707 entradas según lo reportado por Ultracine.

It was once implied on this very board, Warners wouldn’t do a project that wouldn’t make a profit. I disagreed then. I agree now. I guess will have to wait until the end of the book to find out?

Rubbish. If that were true, then they wouldn’t have spent time revamping Elvis’ music to also appeal to a younger generation. Even a Warner’s higher up said that they had to do it as they felt Elvis’ music sounded too dated for a young audience.

i tend to agree here, i really doubt they'd be able to sell a movie of this magnitude saying ''We're gonna do it for the older generation and it will be great'' i doubt ANY Business would say yes to that.

Box office results aside, the film is succeeding in the sense that parents take their kids so that's one side of connecting to a young audience..
Today I took my family to an afternoon screening and saw a big group of teenage girls in the cinema who went by themselves (I'd say around 12 YO)
Another kid in front of me had a Elvis screensaver on her iphone..
Lovely to see especially since my own daughters are a bit too young to see the movie now but they will in a few years.

When the cinema run is over the film be broadcasted and streamed for years to come.
Let's just say the legacy goes on longer than Elvis himself anticipated...
