    Manabyte got the info from me, and I can assure you the movie as tested was not great. If you want proof of that, just watch the Extended Cut, which is much closer pacing-wise to what screened.

     

    And not that it much matters, but lots of movies get applause at test screenings. JUSTICE LEAGUE got applause.

     

     

    Applause means the audience liked it so surely not a bad reception even if you didn't like it yourself.

    Like who? How much are Sony paying you😂

    Like the deadpool 2 "terrible test screening reception" that came from Jeremy Conrad (MCU stan who wanted the film to flop), that was super fake. The great test screening reactions from suicide squad that came from Daniel RPK and DC stans from reddit, also fake. These fake test screening reactions go viral all the time, especially when it comes to super hero movies.

    so you signed up with BOT just to convince us that this movie is good? That convinced me even less, sorry. 

     

    You'll see if I lied when reviews come out. I had the tea and I thought it'd be nice to share but I guess some of you want to hold on to hating the film and believing it's terrible. Also I can easily prove by sharing details from the film that haven't been released anywhere, for example there's a bunch of celebrity cameos in the end of the film like Hailee Steinfield and others.

    I have seen a lot of screening reports from journalists and reliable publications that turned out to be wrong. Remember when Deadpool 2 and Wonder Woman were disasters ? We'll find out how good or bad it is in November but I do think this movie has potential if it is decent enough and is  well-marketed. Sony seems to have some confidence in it if they are investing so much money in its soundtrack and have test-screened it. (MIB was never test-screened)

    The deadpool 2 thing was implanted by that mcu stan on twitter with huge following who pretends to be an insider, he always does that with movies he wants to flop and his fake tea always goes viral. The people I know actually told me deadpool 2 reception was great, also got applause in the test screenings.

     

    I don't know what was up with wonder woman, I don't know anybody who went and I didn't follow the story.

    I don't care about test screening reports. They are almost always wrong about big movies but I think a Charlie's Angels movie has more potential than a Will Smith-less MIB movie. MIB has a very narrow concept and , like Terminator, you can't do much with it once you have gone through all iterations of that concept. MIB4 was going to drop big to $400-450 million WW even if Will had come back.

    To be fair, a lot of them are wrong bc they're from trolls on reddit or something like that. This time is legit, from trust worthy ppl I know.

    400m feel really big for this, 300m would probably be already big hit outside being China heavy scenario like Tomb Raider was.

     

    Ocean 8 is a recent reboot of an arguably 66% or so more popular 2000s franchise and was a nice big success at 300m, this will probably be less domestic heavy too, but I am not sure what the argument to get above Ocean 8 is.

    The argument is that it's much better than Ocean's 8 hehe

    People expected 190m dbo / 330m WW for 22 JS ?

     

    http://cms.pro.boxoffice.com/featured_stories/2014-04-long-range-forecast-22-jump-street

     

    Long range pro box office had it :

    22 Jump Street Jun 13, 2014 Sony / Columbia $48,000,000 $143,000,000

    I think it vastly overperformed, looking at leaking e-mail mentionned and accounting prediction of the movie, they were talking about a target of 75-80m at the intl box office, it made 140m intl, and 135m dbo (close to box office pro forecast) and it almost made 200m.

    Oh 100m, that hight than I thought, I expected Men in Black/Magnificent 7 treatment and a small 75-80m type of affair. P.S. 22 JS was an over 80m production with a net cost of 69m, not 50

    This one doesn't have a 100m budget, 90m tops but probably 70-80m. 

     

    Also Charlie's Angels is a bigger brand than JS which was an U.S thing only, CA is more famous brand overseas, China even made their own Charlie's Angels version.

     

    If it makes 400m, it'd be a big hit already. And I am sure it's getting good reviews and good word of mouth, it'll have good legs.

    We will see, the McG movies actually were not big hits in theaters, but maybe did well on home video for Sony. 300m-400m Worldwide seems to be high end. MIB4 in same budget range will do about the same. Even 22 Jumpstreet just did OK numbers.

    400m would be great for this already and likely greenlight a sequel.

    have you seen it?

    No, but I know a ton of movie buff people who did. They were mostly like people here expecting a disaster and not fans of Stewart, they walked out loving it and her in it. They can't wait to watch it again and said the audience erupted in applause twice. 

     

    The movie is pretty funny but not as campy and tacky like the Drew Barrymore movies and the Angels are much better developed as characters in this one, they all agree it's much better than the previous movies. They compared it to Spy but say it's a bit more serious, more action and not as satirical.

    Sony has a bad track record with recent remakes outside of Jumanji. It could do ok domestically, and not so hot overseas.

    Read my previous post, this movie is actually good and a crowdpleaser unlike MIB and Baywatch. Also modest budget in the 70-90m range, it's going to be a hit

    looks worse than MIB tbh.

    You wrong, I know this is an easy target and some ppl are desperate to hate on it but this movie has tested 2x to incredible receptions and Stewart was the absolute audience's favorite, it's going to get good reviews and great word of mouth.
