Mojoguy Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I went to the library today and randomly picked up and read The Fifty-Year Mission: The First 25 Years. Had NO idea until an hour ago it's the 50th anniversary. Paramount's terrible marketing at work, people.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 STB has now grossed $320m WW. I'm thinking it will probably end it's run around $335m. not so great. but there will... probably be a sequel, I hope. It doesn't have any major territories to release in does it? thank goodness for China, it would have been a complete trainwreck overseas if it weren't for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatree Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 This was a much more innocent & enjoyable movie than the other blockbusters we've had this summer, shame it flopped 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flop is reserved for movies way, way, way off the mark like an Alice 2 or Huntsman 2. Plus, it's overseas bolstered it so in the end for sure not a flop. After all these years we still have educating to do for users on the differences in classification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That One Girl Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 This is sad... My curse is spreading...it affected this and just recently had Mag 7 underperform, and it'll likely miss 100M as a result.

It performed similar to The Equalizer, while this had the benefit of Pratt, Hawke, and a more well-known property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) Re: That One Chris Pratt People are kinda putting too much weight on Pratt's shoulders.

Ethan Hawke is not, and never has been, a box office draw, and Chris Pratt's power is completely untested. It did fine, slightly better than I expected.

He's getting paid and treated like a movie star/big draw and he's getting parts like one so it's fair if he's scrutinized like one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will do well, whenever it comes out, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arlborn Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Honestly, just re-watched this one, now at home and damn, it holds up so well. The sabotage scene might be the most fun scene in a blockbuster this year, simply sublime fun. The movie is so beautiful to look at too, wow. The VFX is simply some of the most amazing work I've seen in a film, ever. That space station is indeed a beauty to behold. This movie deserved more, much more. I'll be incredibly sad if we don't get a sequel. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
