Looks great but is it another Disney/Fox flop?
My goodness...every Fox film released since Disney took over have been horrible money-losers.
shareName them considering disney took over in may , you love rubbing disneys nose in it dont you queen ?
shareDark Phoenix?
Stuber?
Dark Phoenix was made by fox , before Disney took over you cant pin that on disney
shareUnderstood...just saying that Disney has lost gobs of money on 2 of thethree Fox films they released since they took over. I hope Ad Astra isn't another one.
shareI predict 200 million for ad adastra
shareDomestic or worldwide?
shareWW
shareThat would be awful.
shareWhy would it?
share200 million worldwide on a big budget film like this?
Are you serious? That would barely cover the P&A cost let alone the production budget.
I'd say more than twice that to make money.
I like Gray but I'm still not convinced Pitt can carry this type of film. And why no TIFF? Gravity had huge buzz coming in. This one doesn't.
[–] QueenFanUSA (2170) a day agoHow does Disney lose money on Ad Astra when Disney neither fronted, invested, nor paid for the Production or even P&A for Ad Astra? Disney is now handling the Distribution for Ad Astra and in effect will be paying itself for distributing the film.

Ad Astra's production budget is $80-$90 Million dollars. What you really are doing and want to do is compare Ad Astra to WB's Gravity which was produced for $100 Million, took in $274 Million domestic and $723 Million worldwide. You are already staking your territory in that Ad Astra won't be as successful as Gravity. True or False? It's true and you will humble-crow on this detail when the time comes. Because? Disney is your favorite company. 🤣
Ad Astra isn't going to re-coup the "Disney/21st Century Fox, $55 Billion dollar" investment any time soon, and neither Dark Phoenix's nor Stuber's nor Ad Astra's profit projections are going to defray any of that outlay by Disney. The production companies for Ad Astra are as follows:
20th Century FoxConspicuous in it's absence is the name Disney.
Regency Enterprises
Bona Film Group
New Regency
Plan B Entertainment
RT Features
Keep Your Head Productions
MadRiver Pictures
Also: Principal photography on the film began in mid-August 2017 in Santa Clarita, California, lasting 60 days.
The visual effects are provided by Moving Picture Company, Method Studios, Mr. X, Weta Digital, Brainstorm Digital, and Capital T and Supervised by Christopher Downs, Guillaume Rocheron, Ryan Tudhope, Aidan Fraser, Olaf Wendt, Anders Langlands, Eran Dinur, and Jamie Hallett and Territory Studio.
There is no recoupment by 21st Century Fox possible for Ad Astra but the outlay of dollars wasn't by Disney. share
