Shouldn’t American Reunion be on here as well? I mean yeah it was a hit, but only internationally. Unfortunately, It underperformed domestically due to competition from films like The Hunger Games, 21 Jump Street, Wrath of the Titans, and even Project X. It’s a shame really since I love the American Pie franchise (excluding those shitty direct to video sequels) and I wish we could’ve gotten a 5th film. If only Universal released it in like August or even September.
I’m guessing The Bourne Legacy broke even, or at least came close enough to avoid being called a bomb? $125mm budget, $275mm WW gross, probably what, $175mm-$200mm after theaters take their cut, but I suspect the ad spend was huge because I remember this one being everywhere with Jeremy Renner and the “THERE WAS NEVER JUST ONE” angle being stuffed down our throats.
In a nutshell I sum Legacy up like this: America was asked “hey, we’re soft rebooting this series that just ended 5 years ago. Can Jeremy Renner be the next Matt Damon? You loved him in The Town!” and America answered “Hell no.”
