The Futurist Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) Can't believe some poeple doubted the accuracy of this forum flop-radar. Everything from RIPD looked like shit and atrocious. So RIPD bombing is a validation of our collective bo & Movie Knowledge. Yay us ! Edited July 20, 2013 by The Futurist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 This is all predicated on me knowing who LEXG is. Just showing his style of humor is extreme hyperbole (among other things). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabbage Bash Kid Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 So it's really happening, isn't it? TWO Ryan Reynolds films opening at pretty much the same time, shot in TWO different mediums, aimed at TWO different demographics, and their combined gross won't beat the number one movie this weekend? I can't really say I'm a fan of his, but holy shit! Dude can't seem to catch a break! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Big budgeted films are ok if the film property is big itself. There's no point in giving $250-300m+ to John Carter and Battleshit when there's no guarantee on return. So basically no one should ever spend a lot of money on an original or non-sequel property ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 So DM2 #1 for a third weekend? Not a chance. Conjuring has what looks to be an 18 mill OD. It will finish with at least 36 mill. DM2 would have to fall about 15% to have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoguy Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Why can't original films succeed? Because all the original films this year that have flopped have been shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I must admit that I thought that RIPD would do badly, but not as terrible as our members thought. I had it flopping, not bombing like what the early numbers are suggesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
