Let me guess, more than Bel Ami?

Bel Ami was only released in selected theaters, also you cannot compare a commercial movie to an indie movie

SWATH has not yet made a profit, and going by the poor numbers, yes poor no matter however Universal try to spin it, it will not make a profit. It needs to make at least $170 mill at the US box office alone, add in around $80 mill advertising, and it needs to make at least that at the worldwide box office to break even…. well do the math,

Bel Ami is doing poorly at the US box office, but with little P&A costs, add in the early VOD, and what it is making world wide, it’ll eventually turn a small profit which is acceptable for a small indie budgeted at just $11 mill…

Kristen Stewart indie films however have never made a profit, neither will her first post-Twilight studio movie either, by the looks of it. :)

Another Kristen Stewart hater. What did she do to you? Date your boyfriend? Kick your dog?
SWATH has already turned a profit and it has not yet opened in all the countries it is slated to open in.
About her indies, most have turned a profit, do some bloody research before you make stupid comments.

SWATH made back its production costs, it still has to make back its advertising and distribution costs to break even. One estimate has put SWATH needs to make 500 million to do that. You stans need to take the blinders off and the binkies out of your mouths and stop going by the lame come back of “you’re jealous, you’re a hater”. Statements like that say “you’re 12″. People are not going to change their positions when you throw your temper tantrums because everyone is not willing to fawn over your idol.

is rock of ages woth seeing?

@Lisa They got those figures from Box Office Mojo, and I like I said the movie is no where near making a profit yet. It has made it’s ‘production cost’ back with the worldwide box office, rule of thumb a movie needs to make 2-3 times (depending on P&A and other factors) the budget at the box office to break even.

@Guest I do my research, you are the one showing your ignorance. It looks like Kristen fans need to do their research regarding how movies turn a profit, then maybe they won’t be shouting out ‘it’s made a profit!’, when actually no, it hasn’t. Bit embarrassing really.

The info is out there on the internet, anyone can access it.

SWATH has not made a profit. The rule is at least double the budget, so it will have to earn $340 million BEFORE it turns a profit. This is the way Hollywood operates. Big budget movies have to make enormous grosses before the investors get a return on their money.

And Stewart’s indies have all flopped. WTTR, The Runaways and TYH didn’t even make back their productions costs, much less a profit. All the figures are at Box Office Mojo, it doesn’t pay to try to lie about them. Even Adventureland didn’t make a profit. OTR is also rotten on RT, and will not make a profit, either.

CINEMA SIGHT is comparing how bad she is with the state of the movies today.

As Snow White, played with too little emotion by Kristen Stewart, comes of age, the queen discovers not only that Snow White is the only person alive who can kill her, Snow’s heart will not only bring her eternal life, but eternal youth and beauty in tandem.

But even the best actors in the film can be seen positively in some way, which cannot be said for the star herself. Apart from forgettable roles in Into the Wild and Adventureland, I haven’t seen Stewart on the big screen. There’s a meme floating around the internet where the various emotions of Kristen Stewart are posed as a single picture with different headings. Amusing for sure, but not until now have I really understood just how pinpoint accurate those assessments are.

From her first scene, holed up in her prison cell, there’s a lifeless, mechanical quality to her performance. Every emotion from awe to fear to sadness is delivered with the same wide-eyed, mouth-ajar gaze that is too frequently captured in close-up. The most alive her character feels is when she’s lying dead on her bier as Hemsworth’s Huntsman mourns over it. It would be easy to say that the film fails because of the horrendous miscasting and might have been better with any number of better young actresses.

I went on the link and read the review. Wow. Pretty harsh.

And don’t you just love it when the stans try to Jedi-mind trick you into believing you have a mental or emotional problem when you raise a criticism about their idol, especially when you bring in quotes or figures to support your argument? They treat the board as if it’s a fan site where only glowing praise is supposed to be posted, not a forum where different opinions are permitted.

Like I said just curious as to why there was so much time invested but if that is your thing, I get it cause it could be very interesting if you look the whole industry. Just wondered why the hostile stance in general on the board over people none of us know, who don’t care about us and in general we shouldn’t care about (other than if we spend our time and money watching). And before the other person needs to pop a Xanax, I don’t idolize movie stars, I just don’t see the point because they don’t change my daily life in any way good or bad. But hey just my opinion, we all have them and are all entitled to them.

SWATH is not a flop. It’s made $247,000 worldwide so far. It may not turn a profit for Universal but as far as movies go it certainly isn’t a flop. And why are you so obsessed with Kristen Stewart anyway? You obviously comment negatively about her on the other threads as well. I don’t like Adam Sandler but I wouldn’t waste my time researching and commenting on him.

You’re the one who has a sick and jealous obsession with Kristen Stewart. What’s wrong – you can’t handle the fact she’s dating Rob Pattinson?

Linda, you need to calm down. Not everything revolves around Kristen Stewart.

Any coments on box office returns are premature at best. Many domestic *flops* make a ton of money overseas. If you are really interested, wait until those results are in. Then fight about it!
