It was a pickup for LGF. They only paid 25 million for domestic rights, so it's not not 90 million painful. Bet Carl Icahn is happy.

Conan's producers likely sold off worldwide rights before release to cover their investment. They might have even turned a profit. But the franchise is dead for a long time.

Nikki is up.. SPYK4- Friday $4.5M (Estimated Weekend 12M) .. Conan - Friday $4.1M (Estimated Weekend $11M). FRNIT - Friday $3.5M, 8M Weekend karspov Aug 19, 23:24

Ouch for all pretty much {nm} HarryWarden Aug 19, 23:37

That number is beyond AWFUL for Conan. It might not even reach $30M domestic and on a $90M budget it has to qualify as one of the biggest wrongturn687 Aug 19, 23:48

It should do decently overseas at least, right? {nm} HarryWarden Aug 19, 23:48

That doesn't help LGF cause they see none of that.... $30 million domestic equates to roughly $17 million for LGF. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 20, 04:17

Sky Kids should make a profit considering its small budget and the legs kids films usually get. {nm} HarryWarden Aug 19, 23:51

Also it's kind of sad that Fright Night is doing worse than Priest, but I'm guessing people have finally had enough of vampire movies good wrongturn687 Aug 19, 23:57

Has anyone seen both Priest and FRNIT? I think it is hard for FRNIT to fair a worse quality than Priest.. cos the latter was beyond F- {nm} karspov Aug 20, 00:01

What was the budget on Fright Night? {nm} HarryWarden Aug 20, 00:30

that may be a bit hard.. it's a tired franchise.. probably not much legs .. Poor Jessica.. she needs a good flick for a comeback {nm} karspov Aug 19, 23:58

Colin Farrell can join her in the "Needs a comeback" category. {nm} HarryWarden Aug 20, 00:53

It's so strange that the public don't want to see crap like Conan, when crap like "Clash of the Titans" is ok. I'm baffled. {nm} grizzly Aug 20, 00:27

I absolutely believe CONAN. been saying for a long time it looked horrible and couldn't imagine it doing well. FRNIT is a shock imo, lobogotti Aug 20, 00:34

Wait, so is Nikki really thinking that Sy Kids will have the same internal mult as Conan? Silly Nikki. TheWeekendWarrior Aug 20, 04:18

I suppose it doesn't matter for those people holding the OW short... {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 20, 04:33
