Good reviews but not enough bums on seats unfortunatelyHas this film tanked then?
It got pretty great review scores.
There is no accounting for taste, this and Nice Guys were excellent fun films and should have been more successful. A real shameGood reviews but not enough bums on seats unfortunately
This is the same with a lot of Gosling films FYI. First man, nice guys and more. All critically and audience acclaimed but not enough money made. It’s the reason The Nice Guys 2 never happened. Both Gosling and Black have stated that
It 'hit' some other places...In the US, take a bit longer to hit here but it wasn’t a hit so it was always going to hit premium streaming early
$125-150 million budget before marketing and a $128 million worldwide box office is a what? $100-150 million loss?Has this film tanked then?
Yeah I don't get it either, 2 weeks is just ridiculous. At the very least give it the month to get into the bank holiday weekend. If the reviews were poor or there was some negative press around one of the stars or production of the movie then maybe I'd get it, but it just feels like desperation. Movies like this can have the potential to have legs when given the chance but this is sending it to an early death. I've been going to the cinema loads in the last year but I still don't have time to get to everything. Getting to see this meant I haven't really had the chance to catch Challengers for example.I’m personally looking forward to it (was going to watch it tonight) but I just don’t go to the cinema that often. Only been a handful of times this year alone for poor things and Dune 2 (there’s another but I can’t think).
But this was also a film I knew I was just going to blind buy the steelbook based on the trailers, the 2 actors, the artwork and now the good reviews.
I usually wait to stream nowadays. Especially since the pandemic where the turn around is much quicker. However, this is ridiculous. Only been like 2 weeks! Should’ve waited a few more weeks until they put it on digital. Madam web held out longer which is crazy!
but I can’t think
Yeah, I remember when movies in the 90's would stay in theaters 3 months at least, grossing like a million, or even $100-300k per week, maybe on smaller screens in multiplexes, but still, available as an extra choice for moviegoers that are 'late', or those that don't go often. And that's besides another 3-6 month 'rental window', when VHS would cost intentionally prohibitive amount of $89 or thereabout.I don't get it either, 2 weeks is just ridiculous.

I was pretty late for Inception back in 2010, it came out in July but I saw it in the middle of October and apparently it ran until January. I think an expectation of a stream of blockbusters and the demand to constantly feed streaming platforms has been a big part of why films are being ushered out of the cinema so quickly.

That way even me, who went twice a week, every week, could choose something on a slow premiere weekend, when there's maybe only 'boring' melodramatic or historical films out.
I thought this particular film actually should be better on a big screen...so when it's a film which doesn't demand the big scree
Sure, I've heard it has some great stunt set pieces but it's not quite the same as say, seeing Dune in a good Imax.I thought this particular film actually should be better on a big screen...
I watched this last night. Definitely understand now why some audiences haven't clicked with it. The films got a very weird, is it serious> is it parody> is it serious vibe going on, that I found totally disconnecting.Sure, I've heard it has some great stunt set pieces but it's not quite the same as say, seeing Dune in a good Imax.
Not trying to pick on this film, the list of possible explanations for the lack of success was meant in a more general sense as I think they're issues most films face these days.
