Gopher Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 It's the laziest MCU fim by far.I have to wonder who dropped the ball with that one. We should have known as soon as we heard Whedon was called in to rewrite and restructure scenes that something was up. Or when the director was fired. Or when the second director was kicked out of the editing room. There were a lot of signs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACSlater Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Well, they had a release date locked, and the director quit just before filming started, so they went and found a new director who could film quickly and get the movie out in time for the release date which was already determined. So basically the new director took the existing storyboards and filmed them. Sounds similar to another upcoming Marvel movie, does it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grey ghost Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 It would suck if Marvel kept Ant-Man out of Avengers to appease Edgar Wright only to fire him when it's too late to fix everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Meanwhile overseas INT’L Box Office: ’22 Jump Street’ Opens Overseas In UK Far Outpacing First InstallmentBY ANITA BUSCH | Friday June 6, 2014 @ 9:38pm PDTSony’s 22 Jump Street is getting a head start overseas prior to its domestic launch and its opening night in the UK is impressive. The film, which stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, is on its way to a $2.6M to $2.8M opening night, which would put it in the category of one of the top comedies ever to open in this territory and certainly up there with such big openers as Universal’s Ted.It’s also outpacing the first installment, 21 Jump Street, by over three times right now and it’s on track to take about 50% of the Top Ten market share in this territory which is no small feat given that Edge of Tomorrow, Maleficent, X-Men: Days of Future Past and Godzilla are still playing.The first installment, 21 Jump Street, bowed in 2012 and did best in English-speaking countries where the humor translated well. In fact, the UK was its biggest market with a $15.9M gross, and with Australia grabbing another $15.6M, those two English-speaking territories accounted for about 50% of the total international cume of $63.5M. It opened in March; this one is opening only a week before the World Cup starts and Sony is betting it will play right through the matches.22 also opened in the Netherlands and took the No. 1 spot there, doubling the opening of the first installment and playing about 85% above the second film in the marketplace, Maleficent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grey ghost Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Is EoT considered original sci-fi if it's based on a book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregBeuke Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) I can't understand how EoT is doing worse than Oblivion. By all accounts EoT is a superior movie with a better release date. Competition and Cruise making two sci-fi, futurist movies back to back hurt as well. But most importantly Oblivion didn't have a movie like Fault of Our Stars out, or big movies people were still seeing like Maleficent and X-Men Days of Future Past. I don't expect it have much legs either, with 22 Jump Street coming out next week. I liked Edge of Tomorrow a lot better then Oblivion. But good movies flop sometimes too, not all bad movies do. So this happens....... Edited June 7, 2014 by gb0708 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmnerdjamie Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Is EoT considered original sci-fi if it's based on a book? I remember jackasses whining about Scott Pilgrim bombing back during summer 2010 labeled it original. Despite being based on a comic book. And despite legit original stuff like Inception and Despicable Me being smashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPink Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) If Oblivion didn't exist, EoT would probably be able to do 40m OW. I feel like the lukewarm reception to that made people apprehensive about another Tom Cruise sci-fi film. Edited June 7, 2014 by MrPink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
