...well if it can stay ahead of Ted then I think it's the highest R rated movie this year so far at least.....do not underestimate the commercial value of a movie like this in China and Japan....it's almost certain to climb up a bit further...me thinks?

Yeah, I expect Prometheus to do quite well in Japan... Btw: Why is Prometheus (number 15) out of order on that list? lol... just wondering.

Q Patient Leech.. Indeed you are right....so it is actually at no.13 right now...it jumped 7 million after they added some foreign earnings...moving it up by 2 places... It's interesting to note that battleship which earned 302 million worldwide made 78.5% of it's earnings in foreign markets....i bet china and Japan was were it mostly excelled....so who knows what Prometheus might earn before it's release on blu-ray...? It's out in China on the 3rd of September...not sure about Japan...I think next week?

IMO prometheus can earn 370 million tops which is good. But remember you have to take A big budget into consideration, and whether its 3d or not. I mean i think prometheus didnt make that much money here in the states, i think it could've made more. But it had a big budget, compared to Ted which had a small budget.

@ ParkerN I know producing ted cost a fraction of the prometheus budget.... all the more reason why i want prometheus to come out on top! Yes every once in a while a small movie becomes a big hit....good example would be the first Paranormal Activity or The Blair Witch Project....to name a few... Still Ridley managed to keep the costs relatively low....considering the visual grandeur and high profile stars involved.... I am just glad it is doing well and even if it did not make one penny more it can still be considered a success....!!! I expect that in the next three weeks those earnings will go up by a significant amount !!

Two things matter: the overall amount of capital the studios have to pony up, and the ROI. Ridley kept the former reasonable (~$130M ) for what he was doing (as compared to say the Avengers which cost $220M). The ROI, while not in Avengers territory, may exceed 400% when you include video and residuals. That would seem to justify a sequel.

I had to look up what ROI meant on google....Return On Investment...tho i figured it was something like that...lol....i looked at another forum today where some thought that Prometheus might still crack the 400 million mark.....I think that is reaching a bit far....but who knows....i am actually astonished that it has come this far before it's final bow out from cinemas.....people forget...just because it did not exactly break records in America....they forget that foreign taste is different and way more P O W E R F U L ....;)
