“Avatar” fortsatte over weekenden sin sejrsgang verden over, og de første indikationer på, at den har en reel chance for at gøre det tilsyneladende umulige og vippe “Titanic” af førstepladsen over verdens mest omsættende film er begyndt at vise sig.
I dens fjerde weekend satte “Avatar” sig atter solidt på 1. pladsen på boxoffice-listen og omsatte i USA for 48,5 mio. dollars – hvilket er betydeligt mere, end hvad “Titanic” hev i land i dens fjerde weekend (28,7 mio. dollars).
Samtidig er “Avatar” urokkelig i resten af verden, hvor den i løbet af weekenden omsatte for 143 mio. dollars.
Dens samlede omsætning på verdensplan er nu på 1,335 mia. dollars, og hvis “Avatar” fortsætter med at skovle næsten 200 mio. dollars ind om ugen, skal der ikke mange uger til, før den indhenter “Titanic”s 1,843 mia. dollars.

Meget enig :-) Og Willis har tabt lidt med årene, selvom han gjorde det fint i DH4, så var det det meste af tiden triste udtryk.

Efter at have skamrost mesterværket Avatar i en del tråde herinde, skal jeg iøvrigt lige sige, at Aliens stadig er min Cameron favorit film. Den film er simpelthen perfekt på alle måder, hvilket er utroligt, når man tænker på hvilke kaotiske forhold den blev produceret under.

Fire, faktisk. True Lies var også den dyreste i sin tid.

Dyreste film nogensinde er den russiske Krig og Fred, som det tog 7 år at producere og kostede $100 mio., den lille nette sum af $560-700 mio. (Wiki) i nutidens penge.

Dog vil de ikke ud med hvad Avatar har kostet (jeg kan i hvert fald ikke finde det) men nogle har regnet sig frem til at det er mellem $400 og $500 millioner, og det er der ikke andre film der kommer tæt på, med mindre man begynder at regne med inflation og sådan, og de tal er aldrig nøjagtige, kun skøn

Mener, at True Lies var lidt dyrere end T2, ihvertfald i rent budget. 102 mil mod 115 mil.
Mht. avatar, så tror jeg dette tal er inkl. marketing costs, men de må da snart gøre det klart. Pirates 3 mener jeg har budget på 300 mil ifølge imdb.

#47 Hvis man vil have titlen "DYRESTE FILM NOGENSINDE" og ikke "DYRESTE FILM 2009", så må man have inflation med også selvom en gammel lorte film dermed løber med titlen.

For this reason, among many others, the Russian version of "War and Peace" is a magnificently unique film. Money isn't everything, but you can't make an epic without it. And "War and Peace" is the definitive epic of all time. It is hard to imagine that circumstances will ever again combine to make a more spectacular, expensive, and -- yes -- splendid movie. Perhaps that's just as well; epics seem to be going out of favor, replaced instead by smaller, more personal films. Perhaps this greatest of the epics will be one of the last, bringing the epic form to its ultimate statement and at the same time supplying the epitaph.
By now the statistics regarding "War and Peace" are well known, but forgive me if I recite them with a certain relish anyway: the film was five years in the making at a cost of $100,000,000, with a cast of 120,000, all clothed in authentic uniforms, and the Red Army was mobilized to recreate Napoleon's battles exactly (it is claimed) as they happened.
The prestige of the Soviet film industry rested on "War and Peace" for half a decade, and the result looks like it. You are never, ever, going to see anything to equal it. Indeed, because of the need to schedule the film in two segments of three hours each, you may never even see it unless you go during the current four-week run at the Esquire. It is difficult to imagine this massive, six-hour film playing neighborhood theaters or turning up on the late show.
Jeg må endda tage et afsnit med, som gør ondt i sjælen, men forhåbentlig får jeg en dag lov til at opleve denne film i restaureret form, i HD kvalitet, måske en Criterion udgave og kan opleve storheden.
It is impossible not to compare "War and Peace" with "Gone With the Wind." They are. I suppose, the two greatest epic films. Both deal with the most crucial wars of their countries' experience. Both center on larger-than-life heroes and heroines. Both are romantic and glorious. But in all fairness, I think, "War and Peace" must be listed as the greater film. Although it is vulgar in the way all epic films must be vulgar (because they place value on sheer numbers and a massive production scheme); "War and Peace" is a great deal more intelligent, tasteful and complete than "GWTW"
And it is to a mass audience, not an intellectual minority, that "War and Peace" is directed. The cinema lends itself magnificently to spectacle, and "War and Peace" is great cinema. It is as spectacular as a movie can possibly be and yet it has a human fullness. Considering its cost and the vast effort that went into its making, such a film can be made only once in our time. The wonder, indeed, is that it was made at all.
