DAJK Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I'm sick of having not a lot of breakout hits, I'm starting to miss those legendary bombs... all we seem to be getting are those "barly breaks even" at the box office. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 9m, weak OD as I thought The 25m ow could bring this to anywhere between 80m to 100m Dom. Not good, but neither a disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkshop36 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 That's kind of, meh lol Never really looked all that interesting and I never heard anyone mention wanting to see it. Ridley better not screw up that Blade Runner sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Top Five had a higher PTA than Exodus. Hm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoguy Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 25M? Awful. How does FOX keeps throwing money at Ridley Scott? I fully blame the marketing for not making Exodus look more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Exodus is reminding me of that Day the Earth Stood Still remake from a few years ago. Meh opening and overall meh performance that wasn't a total bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) Exodus is reminding me of that Day the Earth Stood Still remake from a few years ago. Meh opening and overall meh performance that wasn't a total bomb. Thanks to Jupiter Ascending moving, and OS box office, this year has had no outright bombs (maybe Trascendence), but on the flip side this year has had no mega blockbuster either.

filmlover Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Exodus is reminding me of that Day the Earth Stood Still remake from a few years ago. Meh opening and overall meh performance that wasn't a total bomb. Yep, 100% agree. Both have the same exact release date and poor reviews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I fully blame the marketing for not making Exodus look more interesting. I thought the marketing was pretty good for this film. I've seen a ton of commercials and each made the film look interesting. They seemed to have spent quite a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I think some need to accept that it's likely going to be a while until there are breakout hits of any kind. When the product is or looks limited in appeal (or just unappealing for the most part), audiences will just find other things to do with their time and money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Reviews killed it. Whitewashing probably didn't help its cause either. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I think Scott and Bale's interviews hurt it as well. They should have asked a PR team how to handle to questions about the casting instead of just saying whatever they wanted to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRing Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I fully blame the marketing for not making Exodus look more interesting. Or one could blame the film for not being more interesting or just better. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
