Bloodshot starring Vin Diesel to film in May!

It's pretty exciting. We know absolutely nothing about the rest of the cast, which is a bit odd, but we also may get a bunch of releases of people being added to the movie, if it does indeed start shooting. I've always said that the first movie has a lot riding on it and needs to be good and make money. It does seem like his crap movies do pretty good. Last Witch Hunter made almost $150 Mil off a $90 mil budget. He is a huge box office draw.

Don't forget production budget typically does not include marketing, so assume more than $90 million with all costs. https://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/movie-cost1.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Those $150 million ticket sales will have a chunk going to movie theatres: https://io9.gizmodo.com/5747305/how-muc ... profitable" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Taking the second link's assumption of 55% return to the studio, on $130 million in theatres, that budget plus marketing has likely far exceeded the money recouped through ticket sales, even adding the $19 million for DVD/Blue-Ray sales. In other words, it looks very much like the Last Witch Hunter made a loss, possibly a significant one.

EDIT: At 55% assume it made $71 million, possibly against $110 to $120 or more on production costs and marketing.

Very interesting. The timing of the Valiant sale to DMG and now this news seems peculiar.

I finally watched "Arrival" this weekend and I'm really glad Heiserrer is the screenwriter.

I feel like s "Bloodshot" movie has the potential to do well as it should hopefully be a bit different than the other superhero fare that has mostly been released.

I do wonder if the Capetown water shortage could effect them filming there.

Yes THE ARRIVAL was fantastic!

The Arrival is the one with Charlie Sheen and the aliens that disguise as humans until they bend their knees backwards...

Arrival is the one with Amy Adams and Hawkeye. Both are good in their own ways.
