MILE 22 | STX | Aug 3 2018 | Peter Berg in talks to direct | Mark Wahlberg to star

[That One Girl]

This looks so fucking bad.

This looks so fucking good.  What looks bad about it?  You have the dude from The Raid kicking the shit out of everyone.  People want to kill him and Marky mark and Maggie have to get him to safety.  Monitoring the whole thing is KGB.  I love it!

[filmlover]

This doesn't look bad but it does look like something with an overwhelming sense of "you've seen this movie before." It's probably telling that Berg and Wahlberg's next collaboration will be a Netflix release (making Wahlberg the latest big name to flee the multiplex).

Not long ago, the Bergs were box office gold.

It looks so generic and boring and Mark Wahlberg is a boring actor that I don't like seeing in stuff.

[Barnack]

Berg didn't do many bad movies, but that one seam to have been a bit of a troubled production.

[EarlyDeadlinePredictions]

I've only watched a few Peter Berg movies (ones he directed) but I enjoyed them all (Rundown, Friday Night Lights and Hancock). 

 

I'll check this one out on home video.

This movie has Ronda Rousey. I honestly didn't know that till I looked up IMDB. The marketing has been non-existent.

He's been more miss than hit at the B.O. 

 

Lone Survivor has been his only hit in a decade.  Before that only Friday Night Lights and Hancock and the latter was pretty much all Smith during that era.

Surprised this is getting 3,400+ theaters when the marketing has been so muted. Guess that's what happens when you're an action movie starring a big name released at a dead time of year.

Opening on Friday is STX’s Mile 22 which looks to do in the high teens at 3,510 locations with previews starting Thursday at 7PM. The pic reps the fourth collaboration between director Peter Berg and star Mark Wahlberg.

Hancock is up there with National Treasure in the "How Come They Didn't Make Another One?" category. It wasn't good but it made a lot of money. Was Smith not willing to return?

When does embargo drop?

Early tomorrow like pretty much every STX film does.

Once(before the first trailer released) I suggested a friend who worked for a Chinese film studio to get the local distribution right of some import films which didn’t have any release plan for CHN. One of those was Mile 22. It’s a Bergs film and I really enjoy the 3 films they made together. But after a while my friend told me she didn’t think it would be good enough to hit break-even point in China. She said people in Huayi Brother, which has investment in STX’s films, already saw the film at that time(not sure rough cut or final cut). Huayi didn’t have any theatrical release plan of Mile 22 after watching it. And my friend also gave the idea up after hearing those people’s reactions. I’m not sure if that meant the film looked bad. Two Bergs’ film released in China and also didn’t make huge money.

The embargo dropped. it's mostly rotten

At-least Iko is getting Hollywood paychecks like Tony Jaa and others even though their talent is being wasted.

A D- from both Indiewire and Collider, yeesh.

[EmpireCity]

It is an atrocious film and the quicker STX goes out of business or fires everyone at the top the better.  

[YM!]

There goes Wahlberg’s chance at Best Popular Actor.
