The stars did 2 premieres(London/LA) unlike Mission4 which cost 145M and tons of premieres and ads around the world.

Sherlock Holmes2 has now grossed $335M total
and it has not even opened up in 25 big markets like China, Japan and France. It's domestic is now 157M and will probably top 190M easily getting to 500M overall. I will hardly call that disappointing.

Yeah, you're right, they don't belong there. The Smurfs and the Chipmunks movies made money.

** First off, The Muppets are on a whole other level when it comes to humour, heart etc.**

Sez you. Audiences apparently don't agree

**Second of all Muppets is sitting at $85,852,318 worldwide, $45 million to make, dvd sales I almost guarantee will get them another 15 – 20 million.**

Chump change. The Muppets movie has is still a long long way from making a profit.

**Did smurfs and crapmunks make more money, yes. does this than mean The Muppets are a flop, not even close. **

It's a disappointment. Same difference as far as Disney is concerned.

**The muppets will have an almost double ROI. I don't know about you but most people would consider that a success.**

Only ignorant neophytes like you who don't understand Hollywood budgeting and profit margins.

Disney made a bad investment. What does it do with Kermie now – shove him back in the sock drawer?

And Dommy – don't be ridiculous. Disney used this movie as a test – to see if the Muppets could be revived like the Smurfs, and they failed, bigtime. Your assessments are bogus, dude. Deal with it – the Muppets tanked.

A budget rumored to be north of $170 million (without marketing taken into account) & the it looks like the film won't even cross $50 million domestic.

if anyone said a muppet film would make 90 million a few years ago you wouldn't believe them

and in comparison to hugo, arthurs xmas, happy feet 2 it did great for a much lower budget.

and the point is also to bring the muppets back for merchandising and having a live franchise and they totally accomplished that

i think they were looking at a more enchanted type of box office here… but 90 is pretty good.

What genius predicted that? Oh yeah… ME! Once again my uncanny insight into the hearts and minds of the ticket-buying audience proves true. Nobody likes seeing their stars looking fat and frumpy. Superstars must look superhumanly great. Otherwise, they are just background character actors being given too much face time. Recipe for failure.

Ouch.

Cost 100 mil without P&A and has only made 27 mil so far. Rape and torture didn't seem to be a big draw this Christmas.
