Wow, people even make LeBron jokes here on the Godzilla forums too? Wow. Anyway I started a discussion on this not long but anyway...my prediction is around $180, 000, 000. If Pacific Rim made $100, 000, 000 then I'm sure Godzilla would do better. If Godzilla made $5, 000, 000 then that would be a big fail for such a big-budget film. But yeah, I would say $180 mil.
500,000,000 to 600,000,000
None because it gets canceled
A lot of money. The End
Thanks guys, i appreciate it. Its just......I am not the type of person to do this. Not only could that mistake have ruined the websites reputation but it was also a bi*** slap to Warner Bros. and Legendary's face. I have made mistakes, but I will try to think first before acting on something. I will make new discussions soon, I will rescind the punishment off myself. That was a bit much, haha. See you guys on the forums.
"Show me a planting-eating Kaiju in the Godzilla series, Linkzilla."
When did being carnivorous become a prerequisite for being a kaiju? In fact, I can remember hardly any instances in the Godzilla series of kaiju eating anything at all, and none whatsoever of Godzilla eating.
"As for insults, where did I call you "names"?"
I didn't say you called me "names," I said you used "insults." You did this when you said "Maybe its too hard for you to understand" (implying that I am stupid), "no one with any self-respect call animals with imaginary names like 'daikaju'" (implying that I should have no self-respect), and "Smarten up will you" (once again, implying that I am stupid). And all that for making a light-hearted suggestion that an animal fits the definition of a term usually used to refer to fictional creatures. Really, what did I do to deserve such a venomous response?
"Its not right to call real animals 'Daikaju" for the simple reason that we don't call real things as fictional creatures, same size or not."
You are still acting as if I seriously suggested that this animal should be taxonomically categorized as a "daikaiju," even though I already said that that is not true.
"We don't say unicorns are "real" just because there are animals with horns on their heads (narwhal)."
That's not really comparable, since unicorns are a specific type of creature, while "daikaiju" is just a term used to refer to giant monsters in general. Basically the only definition of the word that would cover all of the monsters that are commonly referred to as that would be "a giant creature," and Amphicoelias fits that definition perfectly.
"Besides, if you really want to talk about size, you do realize Godzilla is 300+ feet now and some of his adversaries (Ghidorah, Destroyah etc) are even bigger. That is far bigger than this dinosaur you point out."
The fact that some incarnations of Godzilla are bigger than Amphicoelias doesn't change the fact that others are smaller than it. Are you saying that those Godzillas are not real daikaiju?
"you don't see real animals shoot lasers or atomic breath out of their mouths do you?"
You do know that not all daikaiju have exotic abilities like that, right? Look at Zilla, for example: his only unusual abilities are burrowing (which many real animals can do) and breathing flammable gas (which is biologically possible, although no animals have ever been known to evolve it), and he is not at all immune to conventional weapons, but I don't hear anyone saying he's not a real daikaiju. Or, for an even better example, see the Rhedosaurus (The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms), the monster that partially inspired Godzilla, which, IIRC, is just a perfectly ordinary dinosaur that rampages through New York, but I'm pretty sure he's generally considered a daikaiju as well. In fact, the Rhedosaurus is 2-3 times smaller than the estimated sizes of Amphicoelias.
Once again, since you didn't seem to understand it the first time, this thread was never intended to be all that serious, I was just sharing my discovery that there was a real animal that was as big as a Godzilla monster. If you can't handle that for some reason, you should take a chill pill and come back when you can be a little more civil about it.
It doesn't work for some reason. Ah well, my favourite is Godzilla vs King Ghidorah poster.
@Madison: Yeah, things like "biggest flop of all times" gets you in John Carter territory. Only making 73 million on a 250 million budget, or Lone Ranger with 89 million on a budger of 210 million. These moves lost well over 100 million each. THAT's a catastrophy!
The trick is to get them to enjoy Godzilla at a young enough age. Introduce them to Godzilla too late (as teenagers) and they'll just turn it off as they are too "hip" or too "cool" to be seen to enjoy "a man in a rubber suit stomping a toy city".
He is a good actor, leaving aside a few stinkers he was in (with one of those stinkers made in '98 of course).
You might think I'm crazy, but I could stare at that poster all day.
A few months ago, I was nervous that this movie would be hovering around the $300-400 million mark, which wouldn't really justify a sequel. Regardless of marketing, I just didn't think non-Godzilla fans would really want to see the movie.
However, after seeing the trailer views, reading comments on non-Godzilla related websites, and hearing about audience reaction to the pre-screened footage (especially when compared to the lukewarm/slightly above average reactions for footage screened for other films, like Spiderman), I think something in the $500-600 million ballpark is more possible than I originally estimated.
As a side note: Vampire Academy wasn't profitable. But it's hardly "biggest flop of all time" kinda stuff. It's production budget was likely less than $20 million if you compare it to other films in the genre/cast/production quality (I can't actually find any budget numbers so I'm not 100% on that). And I've read the movie made closer to $12 million than $8 million. With marketing costs and everything, the movie definitely still LOST money. But just a few million. Which is more of a slight disappointment, than a huge flop.
lol I showed the drawings to my friends at school and they said his forehead was too big, as if they were looking at the front of him. Then another said that Godzilla had a rape face on. Children these days...
that is really cool
Show me a planting-eating Kaiju in the Godzilla series, Linkzilla.
As for insults, where did I call you "names"? Its not right to call real animals 'Daikaju" for the simple reason that we don't call real things as fictional creatures, same size or not. We don't say unicorns are "real" just because there are animals with horns on their heads (narwhal). Besides, if you really want to talk about size, you do realize Godzilla is 300+ feet now and some of his adversaries (Ghidorah, Destroyah etc) are even bigger. That is far bigger than this dinosaur you point out.
Sure, some early kaijus have a similar size, but again, its wrong to place real animals as comparison, you don't see real animals shoot lasers or atomic breath out of their mouths do you?
@ dannyblazor: that would be amazing, but I think you mau be overreaching a bit. I think 500-550 is more realistic. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see this movie blowing the lid off the box office. 200-250 domestic + 250-300 million over-seas.
51 years! thats a lot of fish.....
I don't think they could evolve that fast. I think that the regular Muto(8 legged) Is Godzillas old rival and the winged one is human made(not really what I think but it's a possibility).
729 million. Calling it
I have an iPhone and I've tried. Use a computer
He's Godzilla, THE KING OF ALL THE MONSTERS! He's had more movies than any other movie character and has been one of the most well-known and influential pop culture characters of all time. He is going to make way more than 6 million. Perhaps he'll make 1954 million. See what I did there. But seriously, this movie will be successful.
do you know when we will get pictures for the attacking muto figure?
@JOSHUAHOPKINS
I certainly hope you meant 500 to 600 million...not 5 to 6 million.
If the Godzilla movie was to take in that low of a gross, it would be a disaster.
I personallly see around 100-120 million domestic and 300-375 million international.
Once again, I ask you, what does Godzilla having a carnivore design have to do with this animal? The last time I checked, a monster's diet has nothing to do with whether it's a kaiju or not. And, Jesus Christ, lighten up, will you? I was obviously not seriously suggesting that I or anyone else should go around calling real animals "daikaiju." I was merely pointing out that a real animal existed which was around the same size as your average Godzilla monster. And finally, resorting to personal insults is just low.
Also, it seems that 3 posts in this discussion after my second post have randomly disappeared. Does anyone know why that might have happened?
you go to the little landscape button and it tells you to insert/edit image, then copy image url and then there's the picture
yeah we no what is it
How do you post pictures??????? Whenever I try to post a picture nothing comes up. Someone help me please.
