Dead on. The scenes with horses and spaceships were immense. The "mash up" was outstanding. Seeing the intersection of futuristic tech with the old school west worked better than I expected, in part because the art design was excellent. The space ships looked like they were rendered in and inspired by a Native American aesthetic. And the mood set with the score was fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed it and most people I overheard coming out of the theatre thought it was a fresh rush. Excited to see where they take it now. And I think you're right. There isn't a need for a huge budget going forward. You could take Harrison Ford out of it and not much would be missed, that would save the studios some dough right there. But psyched to see the TV show (maybe Sci-Fy channel?) the console video game, sequels would be awesome. It's all doable.
The producer doesn't call C&A a "flop" nor does the producer call C&A "a big setback financially." I'm going by your quotes. No where is she quoted as saying that in the article. Keep misleading and calling me "crazy" even though you now concede that I'm correct in pointing out C&A couldn't possibly be a setback financially for PDOS. I'll take $209M at the box office which opens up a huge marketplace for PDOS to sell merchandise.
But we are getting somewhere:
You did concede at one point on these boards that C&A surpassed $200M despite the fact that you originally claimed that was "highly unlikely."
You reversed yourself and acknowledged Incredible Hulk was a success at $254M.
You now acknowledge PDOS didn't suffer a financial setback from C&A.
But you have, yet, to explain how you could acknowledge Incredible Hulk was a success at $254M but C&A is a flop at $209M? C'mon, dude, cool down, stop the insults and misleads and explain that one.
Huge potential for PDOS in Cowboys & Aliens. Agreed. This is only the beginning and its a damn good start. My two favorite comic book movies of the summer were (a) X-Men: First Class, outstanding film, surprisingly good. And (b) PDOS' Cowboys & Aliens, a very good film and a premise which stood out as the freshest of the summer. It wasn't just another super hero movie. It's loaded with potential as a franchise. And that franchise will pay off for PDOS in licensing agreements and merchandise. Exciting.
I read it. Do you see my point, yet? The writer is editorializing and not quoting anyone or more bluntly, they are putting words in Stacey Snider's mouth. But more importantly and more relevant is that whatever Dreamworks spent on C&A couldn't possibly be a setback financially for PDOS because PDOS didn't finance the movie.
Can you understand that simple fact?
So your point is irrelevant.
And you act like you are quoting the CEO of Dreamworks by putting the passage you reference in quotes when she's not quoted.
When you write in here that this was a "setback financially for the company" you are trying to mislead people as you have conveniently left out what company you are referring to. The writer of this article is not referring to PDOS, they are referring to Dreamworks, and their article is sloppy or dated in that it is $50M off on the C&A box office, which stands at $209M.
Keep hanging yourself, dude.
No one is quoted as saying that in your article. The Dreamworks CEO is not quoted as saying that. But more importantly, C&A is not a setback for PDOS financially because PDOS didn't finance the movie. Although they stand to benefit because they own the merchandise.
This article is also $50M behind in its box office #s for C&A. Dated or sloppy or both.
Keep reaching dude, keep misleading.
Your article reads "10 Biggest Flops of 2011." I read your article and followed the link it includes on "flops" since you are the one making the claim that the article says Cowboys & Aliens is a flop. But it doesn't. Anywhere. Nor does it include C&A in its list of flops, the one your article headlines and links to. What's your glitch? You are the one pointing to this article. So I read it thoroughly and read all its quotes and followed it through.
In denial?
You look very foolish calling everyone's attention to this "flop" claim but you don't want us trying to figure out where this article makes the claim because it doesn't, not even on its list of "flops." I'm having a good time exposing you.
First you come in here and claim its "highly unlikely" C&A tops $200M. You were wrong. It's at $209M.
Then you claim IMDBpro's #s aren't legit and somehow your own #s are better. Strange on its face.
Then you claim this article calls C&A a "flop." BS-ing again. It doesn't.
Then you deny Incredible Hulk was a success at $254M, then backtrack and admit it was a success.
But you refuse to explain how C&A could be a flop at $209M (and counting) when Hulk is a success at $254M?
The reason for all this is facts don't matter to you. You have a MoparMonkey agenda that requires denying the facts and misleading people.
You're not quoting a producer. The article you yourself reference has no one who terms C&A a "flop." But even more ridiculous is your article references the "10 Biggest Flops of 2011" and links to a photo review of those 10 flops, of which Cowboys & Aliens isn't listed as one. In a strange way, you are demanding that we ignore that part of the article and the link, despite the fact that you are the one who ridiculously tried to substantiate your flop claim with this article. It terms Mars meets Moms as a flop because it lost $110M (budget to box office). It does not term C&A a flop because it has thus far gained $50M (budget to box office).
At least you have acknowledged Incredible Hulk is a success ($254M) but somehow Cowboys & Aliens is a flop even though its grossed $209M so far? And still has Japan, etc to go? C'mon, dude. You're beat. Man up. Admit it. Or keep BS-ing, insulting people's intelligence and calling people "crazy" because you can't deal with facts.
Your only recourse now is a pathetic one, you are denying IMDBpro is right about their numbers. Or referencing dated numbers on boxofficemojo. Or dated numbers from an article in Sept. Get real. You don't have any numbers and I don't have any numbers. I referenced the industry standard for numbers, an industry I work in. Anyone can check IMDBpro. Just sign up for a free trial. $209M. That's good. That's just $45M from Incredible Hulk which you yourself now admit is a success.
So what are you telling us? IMDBpro has got its numbers wrong and we should go by MoparMonkey's numbers instead? If C&A's $209M is a flop accd to you, but Hulk's $254M is a success, where is your cut off point? The two films had roughly the same production budget. Are you going to claim now that it's "highly unlikely" Cowboys climbs any higher, just like you were sure it was "highly unlikely" C&A would surpass $200M? Make some sense, bro. Stop blowing huge holes in your cred.
Wrong. Accd to IMDBpro Incredible Hulk did $254M. Cowboys & Alien is at $209M and counting. So that's only $45M away (not $65M as you claim accd to my numbers) with Japan and others still coming in. I was actually over-estimating Incredible Hulk a bit.
These aren't my numbers, this is IMDBpro, the subscription wing of IMDB for those who work in the entertainment industry.
I think the poster who guessed C&A will make it to around $250M box office is on the money. And that is good for PDOS and their prospects for selling merchandise which they own.
Disney does not own Spider Man. Sony does. Disney does not own X-Men, I believe Fox does. They did not figure in the buy out as Disney had no opportunity to purchase them. But Disney did have the opportunity to purchase Incredible Hulk and did after it proved itself at the box office ($260M). Iron Man was important, but so was Incredible Hulk. And C&A is nearing Incredible Hulk business. That's why it's relevant.
The article does not say C&A was a set back for PDOS. Nor does it quote Dreamworks CEO Stacey Snider in saying that. Nor did it cost PDOS any money. Nor does it call, term or reference C&A as a "flop" while it references 10 other movies as a flop. Nor are its C&A box office numbers up to date.
Mislead all you want. PDOS did not put up the money for the production budget, the studios did. C&A is approaching ticket sales comparable to Incredible Hulk. 209M and gaining towards 250M.

Incredible Hulk not a success? The International Business Times disagrees with you as do many others:
http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/229212/20111011/avengers-trailer-film-meet-the-cast-marvel-disney-scarlett-johansson-robert-downey.htm
Disney bought Marvel after Iron Man and Incredible Hulk. Incredible Hulk was key in that it showed Marvel didn't just have a one hit wonder film property on its hands. It proved it could do it again with Incredible Hulk. Not a fantastic hit like Iron Man but good enough for Disney to pull the trigger on a $4 bil buy out.
Similarly, Cowboys & Aliens, which is doing similar to Incredible Hulk, is a good start. It's not MIB, but it's a good start for PDOS' first summer event movie. Impressive that it is approaching Hulk numbers in that it is new property.
In your article: "10 Biggest Flops of 2011." Can you not see that in there, the 3rd to last paragraph? It says in red bold type "10 Biggest Flops of 2011." Are you blind?
Or simply too embarrassed to acknowledge this? It doesn't list C&A as a flop. No one in your article calls C&A a "flop." That's your opinion which you tried to substantiate by referencing this article. The article's link details 10 films that are flops, films that lost over $100M (box office to budget), C&A not among them, as it has gained $50M and counting (box office to budget).
And now you are trying to walk this back after calling me "crazy" or claiming that I haven't read your article or that I don't have the right article, but you can't walk it back because it's right there for everyone to see.
Pathetic.
I love this argument: Movie ticket sales have nothing to do with the movie business.
Really?
Facts are nonsense?
$209M worldwide box office and counting for PDOS' Cowboys & Aliens.
Here's anothing fact for you: Incredible Hulk grossed $260M box office, that was enough of a success for Disney to buy out Marvel for a cool $4bil. Or was Incredible Hulk a failure by your logic and the folks at Disney are stark raving mad? Even if PDOS is only bought out for about a tenth of that, think about what a $500 mil buy out would mean for the PPS.
Cowboys & Aliens is a success for PDOS. The international box office is telling a positive story and pushing C&A into the 200 millions. That's good news for PDOS which, unlike the studios, didn't spend a dime on the production but owns the merchandise and is set to profit from that merchandise and licensing agreements for years.
Click on "10 Biggest Flops of 2011" referenced in your article. Are you blind? The ten flops are listed right there. C&A is not listed.
So now you claim that the article that substantiates C&A is a "flop" has nothing to do with "flops" and you call me crazy? WTF, dude?
Again, C&A is not listed among the "flops" referenced in the very article you claim substantiates that it is a "flop."
Again, do the math. Your article lists Mars Needs Moms as a "flop": $39M gross, $150M budget. It does not list C&A as a flop: $209M gross, $160M budget. Because it is not a flop. Mars is $110M in the negative (box office to budget), a flop. C&A is $50M in the positive and counting, not a flop, not referenced as a flop in your article.
If you are going to try to substantiate your claims in here by referencing articles, you better do your homework, or it exposes you.
Here is the flop list referenced to and linked to your article right here:
http://edit.hollywoodreporter.com/gallery/movie-report-card-10-biggest-205951
Major FAIL, dude.
Did you read the article you reference? No one in the article calls "Cowboys & Aliens" a "flop." That's your opinion. Also, go to the section in your article that lists the "10 Biggest Flops of 2011". They are:
Mars Needs Moms
Your Highness
Arthur
Prom
Judy Mood
Green Lantern
Priest
Sucker Punch
Hoodwinked Too
The Beaver
Do you see "Cowboys & Aliens" on that list? This is the article you reference to substantiate that C&A is a "flop" and yet it doesn't list C&A among the "flops." Can you read? How stupid do you think people are? If your intention is to mislead, please do a better job of it than this. Absurd.
Again, do the math. Your article lists Mars Needs Moms as a "flop": $39M gross, $150M budget. It does not list C&A as a flop: $209M gross, $160M budget.
Facts are stubborn things to those who want to mislead. The article you reference lists ten 2011 "flops." Cowboys & Aliens is not one of them.
Mars Needs Moms is a 2011 flop referenced in that article. It only grossed $39M worldwide with a budget of $150M. Cowboys & Aliens, by comparison has grossed $209M (which is $50M more than your dated article reports) with a budget of $163M. Can you do math? And we're waiting for Japan's numbers and several more international territories early in its run.
Your Highness is another flop referenced in your article. $50M budget, $24M gross. Hoodwinked Too is another: $30M budget, $13.6M gross. The Beaver is another flop referenced in your article: $20M budget, less than $1M gross.
So while you term C&A a "flop" over and over again, the article you reference to support that opinion does not. Thanks for the lies. And this coming from the guy who told us all it would be "highly unlikely for Cowboys & Aliens to gross $200M." Well you were wrong, so now you're cooking up BS.
The fact that C&A has grossed $209M and counting at the box office alone means C&A will gross more than twice its production budget in box office and secondary markets combined which includes DVD and Blu-ray sales, rentals, pay per view, TV licensing deals, network premiere, etc. But I suppose you will tell that is "highly unlikely" until the facts expose you again.
But the key fact you ignore is PDOS did not finance the movie's $163M budget. The production didn't cost PDOS a penny. However, they do own the merchandise and are set up to reap the merchandising rewards of a $209M worldwide presence and counting for years. That's smart business right there.
Cowboys & Aliens dusts the movies mentioned by box office numbers (IMDBpro):
Land of the Lost: $64.2M box office ($36M less than budget), 5.3 user rating
The Wolfman: $138M box office ($12M less than budget), 6.0 user rating
Cowboys & Aliens $209M box office and counting ($46M more than budget), 6.4 user rating
Scott Pilgrim made even less than Land of Lost at 46.8M ($12M less than budget) but it's not a good comparable since it was made for only 60M.
C&A is the only film of the four which made substantially more money than its production budget, is the only one of the four to not only break $150M but $200M with more to come from Japan and other international territories. And that's what matters here for PDOS. That's all that matters. Cowboys & Aliens is creating a huge marketplace worldwide for PDOS to sell merchandise.
It's also notable that Cowboys & Aliens, a fresh PDOS title, has done substantially better business than two known titles, Land of the Lost and Wolfman. It tells studios and networks that PDOS has a superior library of intellectual property to mine.
Call Wells Fargo. They'll let you know that the CEO lent the company money and is paying himself back. How do they know this at Wells Fargo? Because you are kimbling again.
Or don't call Wells Fargo and keep laying it on thick with the nonsense in here. Nonsense like Wells Fargo has somehow singled out PDOS for elimination.
But you're not alone, I'm not singling anyone out in here. There are several people who troll these boards to
Knowingly and
Intentionally
Manipulate
Lie and
Exaggerate
to serve their own personal agenda.
The IMDBPro home page reads "Gross: $209M (Worldwide)" for Cowboys & Aliens. If you want to shoot me your private email, I'll take a pic of it and send it to you. Or, even better, sign up for a 15 day free trial of IMDBPro and check it out yourself.
The budget reported was $163M, but with tax breaks that falls in to the mid 150s for actual expense. So at the box office alone, the film has cleared about $55M more than the actual production budget, already. And its not done its run at many international locations. And that's just the box office, mind you. There's still dvd and blu-ray sales, rentals, world wide TV licensing agreements for pay cable, pay per view, a network premiere and merchandise.
You can call me crazy but you don't appear to understand the movie industry at all. C&A will clear $225M at the box office, minimum. It's total gross will be closer to $350M when one includes secondary markets, possibly $400M.
You argue no one likes the movie, but the film gets a 6.4 user rating on IMDB, that's a good score for IMDB's highly critical users. 52 user reviews on metacritic are positive, only 12 negative. That means plenty of the people who spent that $209M at the box office dig the movie and will spend on merchandise.
You say you see no merchandise. It's early. But, in LA and online, I've seen C&A Halloween costumes, beef jerky, wrist blasters, mobile games, T-shirts, the children's app. That's a start. They'll be plenty more as PDOS clearly intends to exploit this for years.
$209 mil and climbing. Interesting take you have, given that on Sept 16th on this board, you wrote, "200 million worldwide gross... is HIGHLY unlikely at this point."
I guess its also highly unlikely that PDOS will set up ad green light more of its 5,500 properties. Or its highly unlikely that PDOS will make a killing on the merchandise over time in that they have a huge merchandise deal on Cowboys & Aliens. And I suppose it's also highly unlikely PDOS will ever see a buy out given that Disney bought Marvel for $4 bil after Incredible Hulk did $263 mil.
In general $200 mil worldwide gross is highly unlikely for any given film, but PDOS' Cowboys & Aliens has done it, and PDOS owns the merchandise.
Nice article. Make that $208,855,209 worldwide box office and counting. (IMDBpro)
http://pro.imdb.com/title/tt0409847/boxoffice
PDOS' Cowboys & Aliens breaks $200 mil worldwide, $100 mil domestic. (IMDBpro)
http://pro.imdb.com/title/tt0409847/boxoffice
With PDOS' huge stake in the merchandise, this will pay off for PDOS for years, as well as stoke additional interest in their 5,500 title intellectual property library. The long term prospects for PDOS are very good. It's irrelevant to me that Scott Rosenberg lent the company money and has been slowly paying himself back or that they cut back on their staff and payroll to get to this point. All that matters is that Cowboys & Aliens is a worldwide success today and will create a massive merchandise market place for PDOS as well as build heat for the rest of the PDOS property library tomorrow. And when one considers the fact that merchandise frequently total 20% of the box office and up, and that Disney bought out Marvel for $4bil after Incredible Hulk did $263 mil worldwide, the current short term balance sheet looks even more irrelevant. Obsess on it all you want. Look backwards all you want.
If C&A didn't break $200 mil, then ok. But it did. If If PDOS didn't have one the best deals on merchandise since Lucas and Star Wars, then ok. But it does. If PDOS didn't have another 5,500 properties to sell, then ok. But it does. Long term prospects for PDOS are very good.
C&A total revenue ($210mil and climbing) is critical, actually. It not only represents a growing world wide market for C&A merchandise, of which, PDOS has a very healthy deal but it tells the entertainment industry there's value in PDOS titles. Typically, merchandise will gross 20% of the boxoffice, sometimes much more depending on the movie genre and the toyification of the narrative, etc. That total revenue is also key when buyers and distributors decide whether or not to put another PDOS title in development, whether or not to green light another PDOS property. Good see folks in here know next to nothing about the entertainment industry or, i guess, would rather deny PDOS' C&A is a success. Incredible Hulk did $263 mil and that was enough of a success for Disney to pull the trigger on a $4 Bil buy out, but, hey, that's all irrelevant I guess... It doesn't really matter how well your title does in theaters, it's the movie business, no cares about thaaat.
C&A is having a very good run in theaters, then there will be paid tv, pay per view, netflix, dvd, bluray, network premiere. That will all stoke merchandise revenues and more interest in PDOS' titles. If C&A was a bust, not so obviously. But we don't care about merchandise revenues in here, i guess, or buy out prospects, that's all irrelevant. Oh, and it's impossible, I take it, to speculate on merchandise, too, we're not supposed to be thinking in here and pointing to numbers and doing the math.
$208, 855, 209 worldwide box office and climbing according to IMDBpro:
http://pro.imdb.com/title/tt0409847/boxoffice
Cowboys & Aliens is headed for Incredible Hulk territory ($260 mil), Disney bought Marvel for $4 billion after the Incredible Hulk's box office success. If PDOS is valued at just a tenth of that, we are all in for a nice ride, eventually. But more immediately, a film that grosses this much world wide is sure to open up a great merchandise market for PDOS.
Rosenberg negotiated an extremely favorable merchandising deal in which PDOS holds the rights to Cowboys & Aliens, not the studios. Very rare, virtually unheard of in the entertainment industry. Rosenberg flipped the norm. That's the guy I want. Merchandise revenue potential is huge off Cowboys & Aliens $200 mil plus box office. I also want the creative visionary who spun off Men In Black into a $1 bil plus box office franchise. That's Rosenberg. That's what matters to me. Shepherding creative comic book sourced franchises into feature films that gross huge dollars. Give me that guy, the guy who's already done it, and who's cut a great deal on merchandising rights.
Rosenberg's Men In Black grossed $1,031,209,342 at the world wide box office.
If someone doesn't understand how a comic book movie that grosses $1,031,209,342 at the box office alone, not to mention dvd, TV licensing, and merchandise makes a lot of people wealthy, then you don't understand reality and the basic law of physics. I know people personally who benefited financially and who's careers were made by Men In Black.
But once again, there will be those who come in here to
Knowingly and
Intentionally
Mislead
Bullsh-t
Lie and
Exaggerate
But the relevant fact remains, Rosenberg set up Men In Black and that $1,031,209,342 box office franchise has made a lot of people wealthy. Why is this relevant? Because PDOS represents an opportunity to buy into a similar comic book to feature film enterprise which is being run by the guy who spun off a comic book into one of the most financially successful feature films ever.
Rosenberg is a successful businessman. The Men in Black franchise has grossed over a billion dollars. Rosenberg made a lot of people wealthy with that mega hit.
The desperate defamation that continues in here is pathetic. Without referencing anyone in particular, the reality is with every penny stock there will be those who
Knowingly and
Intentionally

to serve their own personal agendas. But the reality is PDOS also has the potential to make a lot of people wealthy. When you have the largest independent library of comic book and graphic novel titles, over 5,500 and PDOS' first major studio movie C&A has grossed over $200 mil (accd to IMDBpro) and Disney bought out Marvel for $4bil after Incredible Hulk posted $260 mil, your prospects for a future buy out are bright. In the shorter term when you have a film do over $200 mil in business world wide and you have a rich merchandising deal, your merchandise revenue prospects are bright. And you have building industry heat to set up and greenlight your other 5,500 titles.
The desperate, daily rock throwing that goes on in here is irrelevant. What matters is a CEO who has one billion dollar franchise under his belt, merchandise, more to sell and future buy out prospects. If your read of the entertainment industry these days is that it shows a strong interest in comic book sourced entertainment, then this inexpensive opportunity is attractive to you. If you think the entertainment industry is more about Merchant Ivory movies and political dramas, then you've come to the wrong place.
PDOS is a great buy low opportunity. But, without referencing anyone in particular, the reality is with every penny stock there will be those who come on these boards to

for their own benefit or personal agenda.
The facts, however, are good ones. More than 200mil at the world wide box office for Cowboys & Aliens. Marvel bought out by Disney after Incredible Hulk did $260 mil worldwide. A rich merchandising deal on C&A for PDOS. A comic book intellectual property library with more than 5,500 titles. A PDOS CEO in the news and now partnering with Panelfly to extend PDOS' reach.
LOL and rather aggressive and off topic.
Perhaps the Cowboys & Aliens 202 MILLION DOLLAR WORLD WIDE BOX OFFICE is getting under some people's skin? Or is it that Disney bought Marvel for 4 BILLION DOLLARS after the Incredible Hulk did $260 mil worldwide, pointing to a potential buy out of PDOS and its 5,500 titles? Or maybe it's that PDOS CEO Scott Rosenberg's work is in the news after some claimed he wasn't bothering with his life's passion any longer? Or is it the news that PDOS is partnering with Panelfly? There's an awful lot here to be worried about if you have been arguing that this company already folded. The future is bright. Great, inexpensive opportunity.
Wells Fargo doesn't allow any and all OTC trades. They did last year, they don't anymore. A change of policy. I inquired about a transfer of OTC stock to Wells Fargo last fall and again months ago. It was not sub penny. Wells Fargo, in the branch office told me they no longer allow transfer or trading of ANY OTC stocks. Anyone can check this for themselves and discover how desperately pathetic this misleading information is. LOLOLOLOL
More misleading nonsense. I bank at Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo doesn't allow transfer or trading of any OTC stock. I know because I inquired about a stock transfer. And they told me they could transfer all but my OTC stock into a Wells Fargo trading account. Besides, to imply Wells Fargo would single out a particular stock is ludicrous on its face. Lame. Pathetic.
Ignore the irrelevant BS, folks. To buy or sell PDOS isn't about the personalities and execs that desperate people try to character assassinate continually; it's not about company salaries; it's not about one day's total dollar amount of trading. It's the big picture.
C&A has already grossed over $200mil worldwide (IMDBpro):
http://pro.imdb.com/title/tt0409847/
And PDOS has a rich merchandising deal as well as an intellectual property library with over 5,500 titles, several of which are in the TV and film devo pipeline already. And either you think this is an attractive opportunity to buy low before merchandising revenues start rolling in, before another film gets greenlit, and before a buy out, or you don't. Either you think the entertainment industry is big on comic book sourced entertainment or you don't.
But we can do without the misleading, defaming, ludicrous garbage claims that show up regularly.
What does the level 2 look like?
Totally irrelevant. This inexpensive penny stock represents a longer term hold for merchandise revenues, more greenlit projects and a buy out. Disney purchased Marvel for $4 billion after The Incredible Hulk did $260 mil worldwide. C&A is already over $200mil with Japan and Italy to open and weeks of foreign markets to report still. PDOS has a rich deal on merchandise and many more projects in the pipeline. Makes no sense to obsess over one day's activity on a penny stock. LOL.
Cowboys & Aliens passed $200mil worldwide according to IMDBPro:
http://pro.imdb.com/title/tt0409847/
Boxofficemojo has old figures. IMDBPro is a subcription site for industry professionals. So the box office story is even better than you realize. And we don't have any figures from Japan or Italy, yet. And still the possibility of distribution in China.
This means a huge worldwide marketplace for PDOS merchandise and more heat within the industry for PDOS to set up and greenlight TV and film projects. The future is bright.
Cowboys & Aliens wrist blaster up over $100 on ebay...

Nice little foreshadow of the immense merchandise revenue potential for PDOS folks. I wouldn't mind one of these for Halloween. Will make for a cool gift in the coming holidays.
Update: $205,809,045 accd to IMDBpro.
http://pro.imdb.com/title/tt0409847/boxoffice
Worldwide box office for Cowboys & Aliens now at $206 mil after the update. How does this not get to $250 mil now with Japan, Italy coming and so many territories in their first few weeks? And to think there were some just days ago suggesting this would never even get to $163, the production budget.
PDOS looks very attractive at this PPS. Merchandise revenues will be very significant for PDOS.
Yes, PDOS has over 5,600 properties.
That's an enormous library of content.
And now Cowboys & Aliens has grossed over 200 mil and counting. Disney bought out Marvel for 4 billion after Incredible Hulk did $263 mil at the box office.
PDOS is a good, inexpensive opportunity.
$200,676,705 worldwide according to IMDBPro:
http://pro.imdb.com/title/tt0409847/boxoffice
Cowboys & Aliens has broken 200 mil with Japan and Italy still to open. The film may still open in China, as well.
That is a huge global marketplace for PDOS merchandise. And there will be more exposure coming on dvd blu-ray, television, netflix. This gem is cheap.
