10 Reasons Edge Of Tomorrow Is The Most Important Blockbuster Of 2014
2. Warner Bros. Needs The Win
Warner Bros. started out the year with a huge high, netting almost half a billion dollars on The Lego Movie. A week later, they took a dive on Winters Tale, and theyre sure to come up short on Transcendence and Blended when the final tallies are counted. Godzilla, The Lego Movie, and 300: Rise of an Empires successes will be more than enough to offset those losses, but theyve not got that many more chances to step out of place for the rest of the year. Interstellar, Horrible Bosses 2, and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies are guaranteed to make for a very healthy final quarter, but nobody wants their successes to have to cover for what deserves to be three strong summer months. Jersey Boys is flying well under the radar, and Tammy is contending with Transformers: Age of Extinctions second frame over the Independence Day Weekend, and with Warner Bros. recently announcing that Jupiter Ascending is being pushed to February 2015, its up to Edge of Tomorrow to be the breadwinner for this season. The studio might well be ranked first for the first five months of the year*, with just over a 17% market share at $723m., but that could change almost overnight once Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, How to Train Your Dragon 2, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and Guardians of the Galaxy come into play for Paramount, Fox, and Disney. *Source: BoxOfficeMojo.
