This. A prequel would be off putting frankly.
When do we get a Mad Max sequel? It was a boxoffice disappointment whether fanboys admit it or not, but I would love a sequel. Has potential to do 500+ WW.
From what I remember Tom admitted he was quite difficult to work with on that set. The director and cast may not want to experience that again.

Yikes at them not casting an Arab-actress to play an Arab role...
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.

Ohh looks good. Something different anyways.

Soon it will be once you don't get over 90% on RT, your movie is garbage. Just wait for that narrative.
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.

Basically it's going to be pretty to look at and that's about it. Crappy leads and script.

Problem is, essentially the OS distributors can do whatever the f they want with this film. Plus, the OS distributors are more experienced than STX are.
in the US/with STX it's tougher because Besson/EuropaCorp still has say. EC were originally gonna self-distribute this till SLOANE flopped. And Luc's been chatting too much shit about Nolan/Dunkirk rivalry that moving would make him weak.
STX have no idea what to do with movies.

Oh ...stil sounds like a bad idea
Why? Women can't do comedies?

I expect it to get decent reviews. The script is the biggest concern.

Charlize Theron is the closest to looking like Barbie...and the only reason i would download this and fast-forward it.IDK maybe Lawrence?Hathaway,Stone,Larson and i'd be damned even Blanchett can fit the Barbie's looks.
The character doesn't look like Barbie. It's a comedy.

The list of things Emma Stone would ruin is a very short one.
The script/story-line will probably be re-written to some degree.
Then don't make the movie. Maybe Stone can play an Asian again since it worked so well the first time.
-
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.

What a honest shame. This movie needs all the hype it can get.
Oh okay, well, I think all of them are great movies.
Lucy was garbage. The script was its biggest downfall. It was like watching Forrest Gump trying to be Stephen Hawking.

Any update on the China release? Valerian needs it to guarantee a sequel/trilogy.
It's like Power Rangers all over again.

Grace Randolph thinks it's overrated. I have a feeling that'll just increase the hype for a lot of people here.
So that means it's good ?

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.
-
A month or less ago. Since his business partner died I don't know who is running the corp but clearly something is seriously wrong.
-
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."

it has been screened already in the past week to U.S. critics.
Ah ok. I must have misunderstood the tweet.
-
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.
-
Is it true they arent screening this before release? I'm not buying the presales covering the budget stuff either.

Big clue was this story started with the tabloid The Sun. I guess new agencies don't bother checking sources anymore.

Again I clearly said gross, twice.
Ghostbusters domestic gross is still actually decent, cost let it down.
Looks like it would be even higher on the summer list this year than it was last year.
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.

Because companies get a lot more money from American box office than they overseas
Depends on the movie.

That's not good.
