I totally agree. Especially feelings of hate/love for Robert Pattinson. Had Matt Damon or Tobey Maguire or some other young actor starred in “Remember Me,” reactions would have been very different.

Particularly from those who *wanted* the movie to flop and insist on seeing it that way.

Do you know how much the marketing/distribution budget was? How did you come up with the $45 million figure?

Actually, it could be that you’re right. In fact, I wouldn’t doubt it. But **no one** here has said that “Remember Me” is already in the black. Though I do predict it’ll get there, after foreign/ancillary revenues are tallied.

That’s how it works with the vast majority of Hollywood productions. If studios relied only on the box-office take of their films in North America, Hollywood would have gone bankrupt a long, long LONG time ago.

As of last weekend, “Remember Me” had earned $35 million worldwide, with more major markets to come. It’ll possibly surpass $45 million worldwide (though, of course, there are marketing/distribution costs to be added for the international market — I don’t know how Summit’s contracts were drawn up for each international territory in terms of cost/revenue splitting; usually, studios — at least the major ones — keep about 40% of international grosses).

And then there are DVDs and other ancillary sources of income (cable, network TV, pay-per-view, etc) worldwide.

>>>>>>>>>>>>Before you say it will make that in DVD’s you have to consider the cost of makibg the DVD’s and promoting it.

Do you actually believe studios spend nearly as much promoting and making DVDs (or cable/pay-per-view/network showings) as they do producing and promoting a movie?

Drop your anti-Robert Pattinson prejudice for a second, keep your cool, and use your head a bit.

>>>>>It looks like you need to do your homework before attacking someone who is only reporting the truth.

If there’s someone here who needs to do her homework, it isn’t me.

Have you looked at the other movies being made and how much they’ve grossed at the North American box office? Have you taken a good look at how much they cost?

The vast majority of them don’t recover their production/marketing costs at US/Canada movie theaters.

“Remember Me” is no exception.

But a true flop, a movie that’ll likely never be able to recover its costs (production or marketing or both), is something like “Green Zone” or “Nine” or (quite likely) “Repo Men.”

Not “Remember Me.”

Numbers are just numbers, I would be dissapointed if movie was bad and Boxx office was big.

Sorry to hear you feel that way. But please feel free to contact our editor to suggest articles you’d like to find at Alt Film Guide. Contact info can be found at the top of each page.

>>>>>>>>Some of the posters need to look up ‘indie’. … To be truly indie you need a budge of less than ten mil, not to ever open on more than 500 screens, and have less than three mil in marketing. From what i understand (honestly don’t really care) this movie had none of that. I just wanted to define what indie means.

Well, “indie” definitions vary widely.
