Yes, but that's without factoring in potential dates in Australia, right? And maybe they will do a 2nd leg in a similar fashion to Sticky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXL Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I'm just wondering, that's all. With the current number of dates, will it be on course to outgross Sticky? Most likely considering she's already at S&S number of gigs and Australasia still to be announced. Sales have gone extremely well pretty much everywhere (83 scheduled shows so far). Tickets are also more expensive this time around. S&S average gross per gig was $4.8m .... she's likely to get to an average of $6m per show this time around. At roughly 100 shows when all gigs will have been announced, that's already in the range of $600m, putting her #2 after U2's 360 in the all time highest-grossing tours chart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because she is adding Australia last (and after a holiday break), I am inclined to think that it will be a significant number of dates there, and all of them will be stadiums no doubt. If the sales are anything like South America was in 2008, I think she could manage 2-3 sellouts in each major city: Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth. Plus it seems likely she'll do New Zealand too. I'd imagine that could bring her to $500-600 million. I really wish we'd see a Southeast Asia/China/Korea leg and ending in Japan. The gross would then be just massive. Of course that would be over 100 dates and I am not sure she has the patience for that size of a tour. Of course, with the abject commercial failure of W.E., I am not sure what she has going on after the tour. Is she really going to invest that much time in another film only to have it lose money?

Apples388 Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 I don't think she'll throw herself into another film that quickly. If anything, I have a feeling she'll write a lot of material on tour and I expect the next album to come out sooner than we expect. Probably for 2014.

Nightshade Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 She said in one WE interview she already has some ideas for her next movie. Wasn't that before it grossed less than $2 million despite a $15 million budget? I know she was talking about doing a film on Jane Digby, and I actually thought she would do a wonderful job with a story like that. However, with W.E. being such a bomb, I wonder if she will think it is wise to invest the time and money in it knowing it will be shredded by the press yet again?

Sloane Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Of course this tour will be bigger than the last. What I'm looking towards is not her beating herself, but that damn U2 tour. She'd have to hit 800 million though but wouldn't it be grand for her to get that ALL TIME number one spot? Hell, I don't go to her shows anymore. Jack those prices up girl! (I hate U2 now and want M to dethrone them). Purely selfish reasons. After this tour she's going on VACATION. She's gonna learn to snow board in Switzerland.

Paparazzo Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I think she's more than capable of doing so, but it all depends on whether she wants to extend it like S&S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger has been trying to spin negative on The Avengers box office of all things Someone with a movie out now must be slipping him 20 dollar bills. 'Avengers' Overload: Only Movie to DECLINE in Audience on Tuesday Night Wow. Has “The Avengers” already saturated its market? It was the only movie that declined in audience on Tuesday night. “The Avengers” actually declined 6.5% from Monday to Tuesday, still finishing at number 1 with $17.6 million, down from $18.89 million. Every other movie in the top increased its audience on Tuesday, many by 30 or 40 percent. Tuesday is considered an “adult” movie tonight. Maybe “The Avengers” really is just for kids.

Ai Papi Si. Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Madonna has directed 3 films (1 of them a documentary), none of them really made waves. I think she'll go into the recording studio sooner than we think. I hope that's not just wishful thinking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whyme? Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I'm sure the $350 million number included Live Nation's expectations for Australia. It's really easy to estimate a tour's gross even before it begins. It's not as large as Sticky's total, but it's still a huge number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only way it can outgross Sticky is if it has a 2nd leg after a proper break like she did with Sticky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
