obviously it wasn't the main factor but clearly maximizing gender appeal can make a big difference.

 

why do people get so worked up when i bring up even the slightest mention of ~sjw topics~ having an actual effect on the movie industry

[Dementeleus]

I agree -- to some degree -- with water. A lot of tentpoles aren't serving some audience demos well, and there's real money to be made by making stuff that appeals to those under-served demos.

I really want to know what the "Super secret Ghost project" is though. Is it a reboot of Ghost? Why is it "super secret"?

It was B.O.O.: Bureau of Otherworldly Operations.

[PDC1987]

Sujit Chawla is such a shit writer.

paramount's future is looking so bad rn outside of transformers. they NEED to reboot a live action atla series, it could be huge os with the right cg 3d spectacle + good reviews + china

 

Yeah they should rebout Atla, they realy have to. They should make 6 movies instead of 3, pick a good director and make sure the CGI i great. If they do I am sure they ll get good money for it.

I also agree that they should have beter gender difirentation, just like they need to appeal to more age classes. Getting more womens to you movies is great. It's a bigger public so more money.

[mredman]

That is a sad line-up of movies. Paramount is screwed

 

yeah but they do got 4 big ones Mission Impossible,Transformers, TMNT and Terminator

"I hate the first four Fast and Furious movies" is code for "I hate shitty movies."

 

That said, I can't imagine how anyone who does like some fun at the movies could hate Fast Five or this installment. They are just too much fun.

It's interesting though, the last 3 F&F movies have gone bigger, crazier, flashier and more bonkers with their stunts while the last 3 Bond movies look to be going smaller and more focused with theirs, and both series are seeing box office expansions. Just shows that one formula doesn't fit all.

The Brazilian Job... LMFAO. How long has that thing being rumored?

The problem for The Brazilian Job is that another series has already pulled a pretty good Brazilian job.

[Dementeleus]

For him he is. I kinda agree, though it didn't bother me as much.

[baumer]

I read this review of this movie at World of KJ and this reviewer said that the stunts are beginning to become a little too over the top and that Vin Diesel is seen as invincible in these movies without so much as a mark or blemish..

 

 

 

So is he right????

 

We've been discussing this for about two years.  

[CJohn]

He is right but it doesn't bother me. I want them to top themselves. Maybe not make Vin Diesel such an indestructible force, but I still want to see him doing crazy shit. 

[DeeCee]

Vin isn't a bleeder.

Deal with it.

[Jandrew]

Vin isn't a bleeder.

Deal with it.

And if he did, he'd only bleed out Corona Extra's.

[CoolioD1]

does everyone forget he survived an exploding plane in 6? not exactly new that dom is made of vibranium. 

 

 

and remember when James Wan compared furious 7 to French Connection? lol.

[Blankments]

I think Paul Walker pretty much got the best send-off any actor has ever had.

Yeah, I mean they literally edited the whole movie around him and then those last five minutes...

[CJohn]

I think he bleeds a bit in the exploding plane scene in Fast 6.
