    The Rhythm Section was probably never gonna do well given how utterly generic it looked but these numbers are so pitiful that even laughing at it feels cruel. Between the poor reviews, a marketing campaign in which they did the bare minimum to promote it, and opening the week before Birds of Prey, it was clearly left for dead.

    Sexy female assassins (or lingerie assassin as one tweet called it) are played out. It's time to go back to smart and tough female heroines like Ripley or Sarah Connor who aren't about being hot. James Cameron was right when he said Wonder Woman wasn't doing anything new - it's another hot girl kicking ass in a skimpy outfit.

    What an odd comment to end with. 

    I'm just not sure why he is choosing those films to compare it to. Those are Sci-Fi action films that opened in the fall, this is an Oscar pedegree film of a beloved novel that opened on Christmas Day. Not to mention, it co-stars Meryl F**king Streep!

    I'm not sure what the point was supposed to be?
    If he is trying to shame Brad and Will Smith with their lower than expected grosses, Aladdin and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood say hello! 

    Otherwise, those are 3 very odd films to compare, especially given the release dates.....

    A try-hard attempt to say a female movie is outgrossing the big male stars.

    Only if it gets oscar nods but so far its been shut out of awards season.

    It will get nominated. Greta Gerwig has a powerful PR team that has made her the "must nominate" female director. The secret committee will make sure she's nominated for the sake of female representation. Golden Globes are European and Europe doesn't give a shit about this stuff. America doesn't either, but Americans like to pretend they do for appearances sake, so LW will be nominated.

    Little Women was almost unwatchable. One of the worst movies of the year. Thank god the Golden Globes shut it out of the drama category, phew! Everything they nominated in both of the major categories was at least pretty good if not great, so that was nice to see. I’m rooting hard against Little Women, it was almost as bad as Lady Bird.

    Agree it's pretty mediocre, just like Lady Bird. Not unwatchable but meh. It has similar themes to Portrait of a Lady on Fire which is leaps and bounds superior on every level.
