Has anyone considered how other merchandise figures into the equation if at all? I know that I spent some decent bank on Alien merc while awaiting AC. I bought zilch waiting for Prometheus. I have no idea- just throwing the question out there.

Good point! I know I've seen (and bought) a hefty amount for A:C and I don't recall much of anything for Prometheus.

I have no idea, but I can't imagine the merchandise sales were too high. Being an R-rated movie it didn't have much for the average casual to nonfan.

 

Not sure how big the hardcore alien fan market is.

It seems safe to assume that Alien merch helped in over all as does Star Wars as opposed to newer films like Life.

LOL- I am also really stretching to make spoiler free threads these days!

I mean on this thread lol.Already launched a couple threads the day I saw it.Already buried and forgotten thanks to the fact the only threads that people want to launch are on the box office results.There's three or four or five lol.Thankfully yours raises a much more interesting question

Rick posted things got weird for a couple weeks after Prometheus dropped and predicted much the same for AC.

colonialsoldier That is a good start! I figure I spent roughly $250 USD on NECA figures including a contest prize I secretly wanted to keep and a pillowy face hugger. They are all illustrated on silliness threads but I am too lazy to drum them up.
