I simply don't believe it. If the average blockbuster really cost 150M and then you add 100-150M marketing, no movie would recoup its budget, much less make a profit.

 

Do you really believe Blade Runner 2049 had a $150–185 million production budget? No way, Jose!

Argument by personal disbelief. That is always convincing.

Not only breathtaking stunts but perfect comedic timing from a beefy action star at the top of his game!

 

/4

It's a bit weird that WB is timing the reviews to drop the same time as UK previews considering it's already out in many countries hours beforehand.

I imagine UK has English reviews and with better reach to a market like the US ?

As long as it gets 40%+ on RT it should be alright.

Rampage Is the Only Mutant Alligator Movie With the Guts to Re-create 9/11

Dwayne Johnson plays Davis Okoye... The opening act of the film, in which we meet Davis and his band of beta sidekicks, who gush about the “kale bread” they made last night while he pacifies the beasts, is an incredibly unpleasant ten or so minutes to get through, and I wondered if I had accidentally wandered into a narrative adaptation of a Mike Cernovich book, all the way up to the point where a blushing blonde, impressed with Davis’s handling of the gorillas, asks if she can discuss his “submission techniques” over drinks sometime.

As he ages, Dwayne Johnson is bound to get more interesting, as that preposterous body starts to decay a bit. He was fascinating because of his physical perfection, and he'll be more fascinating when it starts to wane. When fissures of self-doubt start to crack The Rock, he'll be doing his best work.

He's not at that stage yet, but the filmmakers seem to see that fade coming. Why else are there so many lines in the script about how hot Davis is, how much time he spends in the gym, and how the ladies can't resist him?

The EW review was bad (C-) ... hilarious thing is that the reviewer was talking up all his recent bad choices/movies ... including Jumanji and talking about how his goodwill might run out if continues.  It's like WHAT ... a movie that only opened to like 40 million & ended up making 400+ in the US and nearly a billion worldwide  might help hurt his goodwill. LOL

 

Either way, can't say the movie excites me very much though.

My problem with Skyscraper is that I already saw this film when it was called "Die Hard".

 

That did not hurt "Speed" at the box office.

 

 

It's not about what the film is about; it's about execution.

Nothing is original anyway.

A charismatic, likeable box office star playing a devoted family man (who also happens to be physically broken) doing everything in his power to save his wife and kids is, at least on paper, crowd-pleasing catnip for summer audiences.

If Skyscraper gets solid reviews, watch as it kills it at the box offfice.

lol 43% on rotten tomatoes... theres no way this movie wouldve been fresh anyway
