It pulled in $27,202,226 - winning the weekend at the box office. It was booked into 3,525 theaters and bowed against 21 And Over, The Last Exorcism Part II and Phantom. Reviews were mixed and tracking was pointing to a troubling mid to high $20 million weekend. Warner Bros then pushed the movie forward to a deadly release date on Mawhich was just one week before Oz The Great And Powerful opened and the Oz movie was tracking strong and competing for the same auds as Jack The Giant Slayer. Digital Domain would continue bad ideas and worse management in 2013 when they contributed to the budget of the flop Ender’s Game and found themselves ruined and sold off. The vfx mess caused the picture to be pushed back to March 22, 2013. Digital Domain also used new software and techniques on the Jack The Giant Slayer, which ended up not working and many scenes had to be redone. The cash stressed VFX house foolishly underbid to get the vfx heavy film and then found themselves in over their head and barely able to pay most of their employees to work on it, which the vfx artists aptly named ‘ Jack the Company Killer‘. The picture was originally set to be released on Jbut post production was slowed down from the ever troubled visual effects company Digital Domain. Warner Bros’ New Line division and Legendary co-financed.
The budget for Jack The Giant Slayer was at least $195 million after reshoots ballooned an already monstrous budget and this ended as one of the biggest box office disasters on record. Cast: Nicholas Hoult, Eleanor Tomlinson, Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci.Written By: Darren Lemke, Christopher McQuarrie, Dan Studney.
