  1. It was in a bad marketplace at the time because of  Terminator 2. 
     

    But take out Ghost, Swayze didn’t have any action blockbusters! Road House is a damn good movie but the film was not a runaway success either two summers prior. Next Of Kin couldn’t crack squat that fall neither. 
     

    The summer of 1991 had too much action films and Point Break’s intended initial audience was at that point over saturated with what was on their plate(Robin Hood, T2, and Backdraft) 

  2. Old and Snake Eyes looked like they would both suck! I think people also forget the Olympics, streaming, people going out and doing stuff is a big factor to why people haven’t went to the movies so much! 
     

    if I wanted to watch Snake Eyes I’d watch the 1998 Nicolas Cage movie! I’d be more satisfied!

  3. A film I really enjoyed! Liked the main character and thought Hillary Swank was some fun to watch as the villain! Lots of unique George Orwell references! And kinda ballsy for today’s cinema, this would be the type film I’d feel like would be perfect to see in a drive-in screen and I mean that in a good way! Very good one!

  4. People also forget in 2005 we had a lot of successful comedies!


    The 40 Year Old Virgin was very big! Considering Steve carell was not even a big name! Also it came out in the doldrums of July! It even outgrossed the Dukes Of Hazard reboot which sold on as a The dude from Jackass & Jessica Simpsonlatest?cb=20160910142050&path-prefix=pro

    hell Wedding Crashers outgrossed the combined total of Dukes and Virgin! But it had great timing! And a funny premise! Vince Vaughn was a big seller at that time! Summer 2004 he had Dodgeball for example. 
     

    also Adam Sandler was still a big name, The Longest Yard remake almost came close to the domestic total of The Waterboy & Big Daddy! 
     

    the horror genre was also big in 2005! White Noise was the beginning of a new trend that we started to see at the first weekend of every year! It grossed over $50 million and then a few weeks later Hide & Seek was as equally successful then Boogeyman a week or so later broke the Super Bowl weekend record and was another hit for Sony and Ghost House!  

    The other horror winners in 2005 were: Saw II as it increased big from it’s predecessor! Then The Devil’s Rejects(yet another franchise increase) Following those two was The Exorcism Of Emily Rose as it grossed around $75 million or so! While The Ring Two dropped $50 million+ from it’s predecessor’s final domestic Total it’s opening weekend was quite strong! 
     2005 had probably at that time probably had one of the strongest years in the horror genre and the comedy genre as well! As with the horror genre, 4 films crossed the $50 million domestic total threshold!
     

    Comedies you had three films that summer cross it, while in the beginning of the year you had a Romantic Comedy(Hitch) do quite well! 

     

    really the only main loser was:

    I don't know what these studios are thinking. They better band together because even if everything is back to normal sooner rather than later, they're going to eat each other alive with so many big movies scheduled back to back to back. A Quiet Place, Monster Hunter, Candyman, and The Conjuring in the same month? Top Gun during an already stuffed Christmas schedule? 

    Conjuring and Monster Hunter will probably get pushed to 2021.
