The Call, A Success

[SAIYANS]

- WWE Studios' The Call with Halle Berry and David Otunga earned $6.2 million at the box office on Friday night, coming in at #2. It's expected to gross between $16 and $17 million this opening weekend.

- As noted earlier, WWE Studios' The Call is expected to do around $16-$17 million at the box office this weekend. With a budget of $13 million and other costs, it would need around $24 million at the box office to break even. With a strong opening like that, WWE will actually have a movie that makes money even before DVD sales.

Good for them, was the best film they ever made an excellent performance by Halle. Maybe they expected it to be successful thus the open ending for a sequel unlike DMD

This is a much smarter strategy for WWE to simply purchase films that are out there and then distribute them because the film scripts that their writers have produced over the past few years have been terrible. Good to see a small budget film actually do well and it should end up with about $45 million in the US which will make it very profitable even before international markets and DVD/Bluray. This one should be able to overtake See No Evil as the most profitable WWE movie.

The problem is they're trying to revive the 80s action flick so they can plug in there people and the action flick has evolved. Smartest thing for them to do is to try to develop a superhero and make that movie. Not a shitty one like Shaq but a decent one.
