New York Times article about the Great Gatsby box office

They now estimate that Gatsby will make $330 million worldwide

Defying Naysayers, ‘Great Gatsby’ Proves a Box-Office Winner

LOS ANGELES — “If history is any indication,” a Forbes report read on May 3, “ ‘The Great Gatsby’ will bomb rather hard.” BoxOffice.com at one point projected very soft opening-weekend sales of about $24 million. Early on, several studios were so worried about the movie’s multiplex prospects that they passed on making it.

Oops.

“The Great Gatsby,” directed by Baz Luhrmann, has become the latest example of the Hollywood machinery getting audience interest wrong. “Gatsby,” adapted from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel and starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role, is now expected to take in at least $330 million worldwide.

With that kind of box-office success, the movie should be able to generate an additional $200 million or so from ancillary sources like DVD sales and reruns on cable channels over the coming years, according to studio executives.

Profitability is another matter entirely, affected by unknown factors, including how compensation for Mr. DiCaprio and Mr. Luhrmann was structured. The movie was also very expensive to make; executives who worked on “The Great Gatsby” contend it cost about $105 million after heftier-than-normal rebates from filming in Australia. Global marketing costs, after factoring in partnerships, ran about $90 million. (Some insiders say those costs were substantially higher, however.)

Is it surprising that “The Great Gatsby” has succeeded? Apparently not to a lot of movie fans. Who would bet against Mr. DiCaprio in a flashy retelling of one of literature’s best-known stories?

The truth is that a lot of people did. Village Roadshow, a film financier and production company, showed interest early on, agreeing to collaborate with Sony to make the film. But Sony, which had a flop with “How Do You Know” around the time “The Great Gatsby” was getting under way, decided Mr. Luhrmann’s film was too risky.

According to members of Mr. Luhrmann’s management team, the director then approached other studios but got one no after another: too expensive; mainstream audiences would not be interested; his last movie, “Australia,” was a disappointment.

Warner, in partnership with Village Roadshow, finally said yes, but only after Warner’s president of production, Greg Silverman, became an avid supporter of the project.

So, with the money now rolling in, is Mr. Luhrmann’s camp playing the “told you so” game? In true Hollywood fashion, it is gloating in private while trying — successfully, apparently — to get the word of its vindication out there.
