Unless the companion is dismissed, the perk will remain in effect regardless of the distance between them and their companions. The perk remains in effect so long as the companion is currently following the player character. For example, Enhanced Sensors is only in effect while the Courier is accompanied by ED-E. With all DLCs installed there are 117 regular perks.Ĭompanion perks, as their name suggests, are granted by one's companions. One can get up to a total of 25 non-challenge perks with all four DLCs installed. Other types of perks are granted through completing various tasks and do not count against the limit of regular perks. Only regular perks may be selected during level up. Additionally, six of the regular perks can be chosen more than once, such as Intense Training. There are 88 regular perks, 8 companion perks, 16 challenge perks, and 18 special perks. To counter how easy it was to max out the player character's skills in Fallout 3, most of the skill-boosting perks have been removed or replaced. Unlike in Fallout 3, the Perk Rate in Fallout: New Vegas is one perk every two levels.

The Avengers drowned out the competition for the first couple weeks of its run, while The Dark Knight was popular enough after its opening weekend to put a real hurt on The X-Files: I Want to Believe and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor during its few weeks of release (and once again let us light a Kaddish candle for Hellboy II). There are also cases where one big movie did real damage to the competition. It opened with $25 million (compared to Titanic's $28m debut and on par with the $26m debut of GoldenEye) and went on to earn $125m domestic, which was $20m more than GoldenEye and a 5x weekend-to-domestic final multiplier, still a record multiplier for any remotely modern James Bond picture. So what happened to the James Bond adventure that opened against Titanic? I t flopped and effectively ended the 007 franchise. Speaking of James Cameron, Titanic opened head-to-head with Tomorrow Never Dies. Those two films opening in the shadow of James Cameron's 3D spectacular stand as the second and fourth-biggest domestic grossers to never top the weekend box office. That would-be Oscar bait drama opened with a $48m debut weekend, which led to a $219m domestic and $449m worldwide total. Also opening that Christmas was Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakel (which was released by Fox as a safety net of sorts in case Avatar tanked). The 20th Century Fox film kinda caught on as a cult favorite of sorts, but that didn't stop Warner Bros.' Sherlock Holmes from racking up a $62m Christmas weekend debut frame which eventually led to a $209m domestic and $524m worldwide total. Both films eventually earned $400m+ domestic.įive years ago, James Cameron released a small-scale art house drama about the abuse of indigenous people for the exploitation of their natural resources. Hunger Games 2 made $109m over the holiday frame, while Frozen had to settle for a mere $93m holiday debut. Shrek 2 went on to earn $441m domestic, but The Day After Tomorrow earned a still-strong $188m domestic (and $544m worldwide) in its shadow. And just last Thanksgiving, Walt Disney opened Frozen against the second weekend of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. But not to be outdone, 20th Centuryįox dropped The Day After Tomorrow over Memorial Day and the Roland Emmerich disaster picture earned a massive $86m over its Fri-Mon debut, and its $68m Fri-Sun frame is still the largest weekend gross ever to not top the box office in a given frame. Back in May of 2004, Shrek 2 debuted with a $128 million five-day weekend and then followed that up with a then-record second weekend gross of $72m over Memorial Day. But history has shown that while Kung Fu Panda 3 may-well have been slaughtered over the Christmas holiday, it just-as-easily may-well have thrived in the shadow of the Force.Īctually, DreamWorks Animation should know this as well as anyone. Kung Fu Panda 3 is one of DWA's most important franchises, and I could certainly understand them not wanting to risk box office annihilation at the hands of the Jedi. And DreamWorks Animation hasn't been on the sturdiest ground of late, dealing with two proposed mergers that fell through and the disappointing box office for The Penguins of Madagascar ($51m domestic thus far, but a not-terrible $152m worldwide), which was supposed to be the safe bet to offset potentially riskier original fare like Home or B.O.O. I would never tell a studio that they should willingly put themselves in the oncoming path of a hurtling train. Abrams-directed Star Wars picture is going to be a box office monster. Walt Disney moved Star Wars: The Force Awakens from May 2015 to December 18th, 2015. The release date change felt frankly inevitable ever since DreamWorks Animation moved Kung Fu Panda 3 from Decemto March 18, 2016. |
