Things aren't looking good for
director Doug Liman's Groundhog Day/Sci-fi mashup, Edge of Tomorrow, lead by
Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. According to Variety, the pre-release tracking
numbers have dropped $5 million in a week, making the weekend premiere gross
just $25 million, give or take.
Now this is just a guess, an
educated guess, but a guess nonetheless, but even so, things aren't looking
good for the big budget blockbuster.
This week, pre-release tracking numbers dropped $5
million from last week, suggesting that “Edge of Tomorrow’s” opening weekend
debut would be in the $25 million range, a dismal opening for any studio
tentpole. The pricey pic, co-financed by Village Roadshow, cost between $175
and $200 million, meaning that in order to turn a profit, the film will have to
make at least double that worldwide.
Adapted from Hiroshi Sakurazaka acclaimed novel “All
You Need is Kill”, Edge of Tomorrow tells the story of a military officer that
dies within minutes of a mission to take down an invading alien race, but is
thrown in a time loop and is forced to repeat the same day over and over again,
until he finds a way to defeat the aliens.
Edge of Tomorrow also stars Marianne Jean-Baptiste,
Charloette Riley and Bill Paxton, Edge of Tomorrow opens on June 6th, 2014.
