I agree the potential for this to be another Jupiter Ascending is pretty big. I'd say that Cloud Atlas was it's own pretentious kettle of fish though. Jupiter Ascending was also kind of weird and bad. Good word of mouth could save this film.
The Fifth Element did triple it's budget and make about $270 million, which is probably closer to $400 million in today's dollars. Another thing to consider is that the European audience is likely to be bigger here, due to the Besson's previous successes in the EU.

Cloud Atlas was a strange cat of a film, Jupiter Ascending was genuinely terrible.

I was thinking the exact same thing except: I thought Coolio was dead.
