Social media is tearing the casting of Naomi apart. It's not her fault of coarse. It probably won't hurt the BO that much. People complain but they'll still take their kids to see it.
If the backlash continues though Naomi might consider backing out. It would suck if it harmed her career.
That's about where it's at now. Honestly I use the audience score more than actual critics. I tend to agree more with the audience. If people just remember critics get paid to write their opinions and that it's not fact. Sometimes I feel people take RT and critic reviews as fact. They didn't like it so it must be bad instead of thinking for themselves.
Why would they get Stone? It makes no sense considering what the plot of the movie is. Amy was a perfect fit. Stone or anyone like her would ruin the whole thing.
This one is more interesting to me than Dunkirk. The visuals for this is what sells it. Sounds like the movie falls apart a bit in the third act so will that stop people from spending their hard earned cash on it?
Dunkirk looks like another run of the mill war movie except it has Harry Styles. He could be a factor. I'm not sure if being an non American story will hurt it domestically.
I got a feeling he is trying to ease worries of his investors. $136 million loss off of a few low budget indie films doesn't make sense. If Valerian doesn't do well it'll be interesting to see if Europacorp survives.
Europacorp being off the hook financially with this movie has been exaggerated.

" The costly passion project has some of Europa’s risk mitigated with over 70% of the budget covered by offshore deals. Besson in May told Deadline that if the film gets up into Lucy territory ($460M+) “then we’re fine."
I'll have to see if I can find the tweet. Journalists on twitter mentioned it a while back. I might have miss read it which is why I was asking if anyone heard the same.
I love how the very mention of Ghostbusters still causes some of the boys so much angst.
It's great how WW is doing. I hope it opens more doors for female directors in the future.
