60-70m for a 3D movie today is probably about the same budget level as a 40m movie 9 years ago.

Well, in that case, they should have just canceled their plans of doing a sequel.

So looks like shit box office is coming early this year.

It usually comes in every year at this time. The last good weekend of every Summer is the one of middle August. After that is downhill until late September.

You didn't remember her from Casino Royale or Kingdom of Heaven

 

No and no.

I am not here for any Eva shade guys. Yes opinions and all that but no.

Yeah, this. 2009 was probably the only time late August wasn't a complete and total dead zone. Otherwise, this is nothing out of the ordinary.

Remember the good ol' dog days of August when a REAL movie like Mickey Blue Eyes would come out?

Big Hero 6 can't get here fast enough.

They just don't make movies with Hugh Grant trying to say "Fuhgeddaboudit!" anymore.

Starlord man, you know the legendary outlaw

Can we get to Maze Runner first, then we can fast forward to Intersellar/Big Hero 6.

Thank God for that. Never been a fan of those.

You don't know classic comedy.

I prefer it when they cranked out completely random movies like Fear Dot Com.

I wonder if church groups are ordering tickets to WTGST. It's being produced by Affirm Films, which tends to make a lot of films with Evangelical Christian ideals (Heaven Is For Real, Soul Surfer, Mom's Night Out, etc.)

The movie has a lot of faith elements in it. I can see church groups going to see this.

[Clef Ment]

Sin City 2 came out too soon, should have waited a few years more.

 

Franchise fatigue, probably.

 

No seriously ... 9 years, who thought this was a good idea ?
