June 2016 Marketing of Legend of Tarzan

I don't understand how anyone could see that video and not want to run to the theater to see this.  It's just so epic.  I'm practically in tears right now because it looks like someone has made a proper ERB inspired Tarzan movie.  I will forever be indebted to producer Jerry Weintraub who passed away last year.  I'm so sorry that he wasn't able to see his masterpiece completed.

Interview with Skarsgard in new Penthouse Autrrailia magazine. Also Alex will be at the premier of LOT in Stolkholm on July 11.

The BFG” and “The Legend of Tarzan” are set to do battle over the July 4th holiday weekend.But what was originally supposed to be a clash of two of the summer’s biggest blockbusters, is shaping up to be something a lot less titanic. Both films are struggling to grab audiences’ attention and interest, despite their hefty budgets and the involvement of A-list directors such as Steven Spielberg and David Yates.

“The Legend of Tarzan” is on pace to debut to between $25 million and $33 million over the four-day holiday weekend, while “The BFG” is projected to launch to between $22 million and $32 million. That’s a weak result given that “Tarzan” reportedly cost Warner Bros. and co-financing partners such as Village Roadshow and RatPac-Dune $180 million to make and tens of millions more to market. For a film like “Tarzan” to break even and justify a sequel, it would need to do more than $400 million. Disney, which is handling the distribution of “The BFG” for Amblin Partners, did not provide a budget, but films of this size usually cost well in excess of $100 million.

“The Purge: Election Year” is also debuting in wide release that weekend. The horror film is expected to do roughly $25 million for the four-day holiday, a strong result given its $10 million budget.

“I’m not sure there’s a huge demand for ‘Tarzan,’ but I’m surprised about ‘The BFG,'” said Eric Handler, an analyst with MKM Partners. “When Steven Spielberg directs, people usually take notice.”

The failure of sequels such as “Alice Through the Looking Glass” and “The Huntsman: Winter’s War” has led some analysts to suggest that audiences are rejecting the overly familiar and are desperate for more original entertainment. That doesn’t seem to be helping either “The BFG” or “The Legend of Tarzan,” neither one of which hails from an existing franchise. Of course, neither movie is truly original. “The BFG” is based on a Roald Dahl children’s book and Tarzan has been swinging through the jungle canopy since the early days of film.

“It’s hard to understand the reason the marketplace is the way it is,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at ComScore. “Sometimes the zeitgeist embraces a certain movie and makes it a hit. Other times it ignores it and tosses it aside.”

Sources close to both films caution that the bulk of their advertising campaigns have yet to be unveiled and with two weeks left before the movies premiere, there’s an opportunity to make up ground. Last summer, for instance, “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation” was struggling to find its footing leading up to its premiere, but it ultimately bowed to $55.5 million, aided by strong reviews.

“The BFG” could also benefit from having its trailers run in front of another family film, “Finding Dory.” The Disney and Pixar collaboration hits theaters on Friday and is projected to gross a massive $115 million.

Both films may also find a warmer embrace overseas. “Tarzan” will launch in 16 markets on the same day it swings into North America, including such major territories as Russia and South Korea. The big prize for the film will be China, where it debuts in July. “The BFG” is also planning a massive global bow, debuting concurrently in the likes of Mexico, Australia, and Russia.

 

In an increasingly globalized film business, domestic results aren’t the final measure of success. Just look at “Warcraft,” which bombed domestically, only to break records in China.

It looks like there are two different songs for LOT, " Better Love" and " The Legend of Tarzan ". Or was that just supposed to be 1 number for " The Legend of Tarzan: BetterLove"?

Sorry,I take that back. I didn't read the whole list. This is not Hosier's track list for his album,but the movie sound track,with  his song on it,??

Forgot to post this here yesterday.

I just turned on the TV to the Tarzan promotion poster and a voice saying Extra brought to you by the Legend of Tarzan, he is no normal man.  This immediately leads into the best 30 sec commercial in my opinion.  The "get ready...because that's nothing compared to what he will do to you".
