Hollywood Vampires Chart performance

[recoop]

Too early as of now for chart appearance, I think, but I reckon the album is going to chart in US and I reckon UK. I wouldn't be surprised if it managed top twenty in both. Any predictions(or any information)?

For the U.S. this is a "building chart" so it's information being compiled through the day.

Right now it's at #24 (could fluctuate as more sales data comes in through the day.)

There has been a ton of press for the first live show so that should help no end.

I reckon having Johnny Depp feature on it will help it no end, especially in the States.
It will target a different kind of audience no doubt.

It's made it to #17 in the 6 hours since you posted this. Can't wait to see where it lands.

His recent movies have bombed not sure why you would think his presence would help music sales.

Whether that's true or not I have no idea. I enjoyed Dark Shadows but can't recall anything he has done film wise recently apart from that. My comment was based on the fact that Johnny Depp is still arguably one of the top ten male actors in the USA and no doubt possesses quite a large sized fan base. I'm sure he's still pretty popular with the females over there as well.

Umm.. because the success of any recent movies is irrelevant. He's still one of, if not THE biggest movie star on the planet.
Just look at the press the project has been getting. Apart from direct interviews with Alice it's 90% Depp orientated. He is a celebrity with a capital 'C'. When he farts some rag covers it!! He has MILLIONS of teenage girls following (and buying) everything he does.
Trust me, I've been sifting through all that stuff to find useful things for two weeks!! One article in a national newspaper about the shows this week spent more time on what his wife was wearing then anyone in the band!!!!!
Why? because she was Johnny Depp's wife!!
There was no mention that Sheryl or Perry's wife were there (and they were).

Still no proof he equates to album sales. How many bums on seats did he sell for The Lone Ranger? you lot are delusional.

[concolz]

UK chart entry at #30.

[Si]

Still no proof he equates to album sales. How many bums on seats did he sell for The Lone Ranger?

In just the opening weekend alone in the US it apparently took in $29,210,849, putting it at #2 for the week. Overall so far it has taken over $260 million at theaters.

The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise (new film coming I believe) has so far taken over $1,279,221,957... and that is before the merchandise, DVDs, TV rights, theme parks etc.

According to BoxOfficeMojo (who track this stuff) he is currently the 10th most successful actor OF ALL TIME in terms of box office gross, with many of the people above him having made many many more films then Depp.

He was paid $55million for the last Pirates movie... They obviously think he brings in the crowds.

So some movies don`t make as much money as those. Perhaps he is well aware they won`t but WANTS to do them along side the blockbusters, like with the Vampires. With his status he can pick and choose what he wants to do. He certainly doesn`t need the money. He owns a goddamn island as a holiday home!!

you lot are delusional.

Sure we are.

Look at it like this:

I'm a massive Alice fan so I will go to all of his UK based shows and buy all his albums. He featured in the Film Dark Shadows so I went to the cinema to watch it as well as purchasing the DVD when released.

Someone who is a massive Johnny Depp fan will have been to see all his films and brought the DVD's.
In this instance Johnny Depp has featured on a music album (his first I would have thought) and no doubt the majority of his fans have heard at least a handful of the original songs off this album and would have gone out and brought the CD because Johnny Depp's on it.

In terms of popularity you could argue that where there is 1m Alice fans then there's 20m Johnny Depp fans.

I think its the first album he has been featured throughout (which is probably what you meant), but far from his first recorded performance. He's appeared as a guest on records by Oasis, Marilyn Manson, and a few others. He's even on Steve Hunter's last solo album 'Manhattan Blues Project'.

but does that mean they are fans of his music? The album is as stiff as Dark Shadows. It will probably sell around the same as last Cooper albums. Did Kesha and Vince Gill put WTMN2 sales through the roof?

Worldwide gross $260million... Or doesn`t anywhere outside the US matter? And that's before TV rights, DVD etc. I don`t think the studio were hurt by it.

Nice of you to spotlight just one film though avoiding the bigger picture because it doesn`t support your view...

[Si]

but does that mean they are fans of his music?

It doesn`t really matter. Many will buy copies just because there is a photo of him on the cover (or maybe, my copy has still yet to arrive from universal)

The album is as stiff as Dark Shadows. It will probably sell around the same as last Cooper albums. Did Kesha and Vince Gill put WTMN2 sales through the roof?

Of course not. They have nowhere near the fanbase as Depp.

There have been five bombs in a row. Nice of you to not spotlight that.

Hilarious. They are musicians. What music fan base does Depp have? Most fans probably have no idea he is even a musician. I am not knocking Depp just this stupid arsed idea that his name will equate to music sales.

Because it isn`t relevant to his general star status. He is STILL a HUGE star with a HUGE following.
