any way the film will be crap itself but it will be good because its got angelina jolie in it
He beat me in that race thingy @ the start of Last Revelation though.... the git!
Budget
$80m (USA)
Opening Weekend
$47.735m (USA) (17 June 2001) (3308 screens)
Note: it got 60% of its budget back in its first THREE days of release.
And it hasn't even been released in the UK yet...
Compare that with previous games related films and their TOTAL sales figures:
Mortal Kombat
Budget
$20m (USA)
Gross
$70.36m (USA)
Street Fighter
Budget
Unknown
Gross
£2.002m (UK)
$33.423m (USA)
Super Mario Bros.
Budget
Unkown
Gross
$20.915m (USA)
So in just 3 days, Tomb Raider has nearly made more money than Super Mario Bros and Street Fighter put together (not including inflationary effects though.) And it looks like it's going to seriously out score Mortal Kombat as well.
I bet Angelina Jolie has already been signed up for the next two sequels at least. I wonder what the game of the film of the game will be like though?
