30 mil budget and 66 mil return makes Cabin in the Woods more or less a break-even (rule of thumb, add 100% to the stated budget to estimate the marketing costs).   

So no, not an outright bomb, but not a hit either.

One thing, Fox still has the release rights to the existing films - so future re-releases (if any) still won't be Disney's department.   

It does mean that some years down the road, any sort of "Ultimate Box Set" shenanigans will require a lot of negotiation between Fox and Disney.    Although for all we know they're already having those meetings...

I rather liked Pandorum as well.   I only checked it out to see if it was in any way similar to Ark - they shot that movie months after we shot Ark, but it was released before Ark debuted online.  I was hoping we weren't accidentally similar in too many ways, since then we'd look like a ripoff.  smile     

But other than the "sleeper ship" setting, Pandorum and Ark are pretty different - not to mention that Pandorum came and went pretty fast and didn't make much of an impression.

So I was just able to enjoy Pandorum for what it was, and I actually liked it quite a bit.   It shares a sensibility with Event Horizon, but without the mystical overtones - and it's got a number of creepy/scary moments.  I have quibbles with some of it, but overall it pretty much worked for me.

I don't actually get my hands on the funds for a month or so.   So no, I haven't set out for the horizon just yet...

Got a lotta emails and phone calls to deal with right now... apparently I have to deliver a freakin video in January.
