Hellboy....

*Brodie* · 04-03-2004, 11:34 AM

Damn! Just damn!

Hellboy opened yesterday, and I was excited....But no one is around to go with. My girlfriend thinks it looks dumb, and my friends are all busy so I'm screwed. I don't wanna go alone...I don't wanna be that guy...

*Dane E5R* · 04-03-2004, 11:41 AM

I'm sure your girlfriend's made you watch somethin' you didn't wanna see...

*Brodie* · 04-03-2004, 11:44 AM

Yeah. And she's never hated any movie I've made her watch. She made me watch White Oleander......

It only made about $9 million Friday, which will make it around $25 million just for this weekend. I got a feeling this movie is going to bomb. Just goes to show you that not every superhero comic book needs to be made into a big time motion picture.

*Brodie* · 04-03-2004, 12:19 PM

Yeah, I had this convo with my girlfriend, that if it doesn't make enough money, it'll get a ****** DVD, and it could be a good movie, but people don't really know about it, or that its based on a comic. And Ron Perlman is one creepy sonovabitch, but I wanna see him kick ass as Hellboy.

I started drawing to get it off my mind..Low and behold the commercials are playing left and right.

Considering the amount it made, its odd they're already planning Hellboy 2.

Dude, just go by yourself. A lot of folks go see movies by themselves, you don't need your girlfriend there for it. If you absolutly cannot fathom seeing it alone, offer to buy lunch and the ticket for one of your friends. A lil McDonald's and a ticket should tempt one of them.

*Stone Ill* · 04-03-2004, 12:23 PM

But why would you want to go by yourself? It's actually more entertaining with someone else with you.

Don't worry, the director already promised a good DVD. And the movie will do good box office. Don't forget the foreign markets add a lot to the box ffice numbers.

From GDT:

“We are -tentatively- talking about a double disc release on DVD by Aug and a Triple disc, extended version in and around Christmas. A SIDESHOW boxed/bust/3dvd is likely to become available then.“

*Brodie* · 04-03-2004, 12:24 PM

Exactly. But, the reason my friends are busy? The Prom.

I had planned on not wasting upwards of 200 bucks on some dance, and seeing Hellboy....And now I'm effed. Most of my friends want to go with me but can't because their dates would kill them.

Eh, why not go by yourself? Sure, you can discuss the movie afterwards with the people you see it with. But you can do the same thing on line. And unless your planning to talk or make out in the theater, having someone else there isn't that important. Hell, strike up a conversation about the movie with the people around you. Either before or after the movie. Especially after. You can discuss what you like.

*Brodie* · 04-03-2004, 12:30 PM

This is just irritating.... You lucky sonovabitches get some well deserved art from me because I'm trying to get my mind off ****.

*Stone Ill* · 04-03-2004, 12:30 PM

Yeah, but it's just not the same.

Perhaps it's just me who likes to have people around when I go to the movies.

A couple of my friends and I are going to see Hellboy on the long weekend.

*Brodie* · 04-03-2004, 12:35 PM

I'll probably have to wait till my spring break.

Shadow the hedgehog · 04-03-2004, 01:03 PM

Just go alone. It isnt as bad as it looks.

*Brodie* · 04-03-2004, 01:21 PM

Oh, don't get me wrong, I think it looks great. And Ron Perlman as Hellboy is fanboy heaven. But I just cant get there.

Well, how much did it cost to make? It might make back all of it's spending this weekend.

And no matter what, it cannot do as bad as Gili.

*Brodie* · 04-03-2004, 01:34 PM

10 mill I think.

Splinter · 04-03-2004, 01:35 PM

Well, the budget was around $60 Million. Not sure if that is before or after marketing, which usually adds another $20 million to the budget. So it will definatly depend on the overseas market to do well.

~~Jarrah White~~ · 04-03-2004, 02:51 PM

What's Hellboy? Some new film?

*Brodie* · 04-03-2004, 02:59 PM

Hellboy is a comic, an indie comic. And it was just released friday in film form.
