Well if Butterfield hasn't improved from Enders Game it doesn't surprise me that they are all over him.

I feel like this is destined to tank no matter what.

Watch X+Y, he's magnificent. Surprise, surprise, when the writing sucks and your character is a cardboard cutout, there's not much to do.

The book and series it's based off isn't really known by anyone outside of the U.S., so I'm not sure how well it'll do overseas. Could flop for all we know.

Eh, that's not true. OK, is it Harry Potter or Twilight? Not even close. But apparently it's been constantly on the best seller lists over here for a few months already. In fact, on our local amazon site the 3 books are, as of right now, second, third and twelfth on the best sellers list. A famous magazine that compiles weekly best sellers lists for decades has the first book in the series somewhere in the YA top10 best sellers for 25 weeks straight. So yes, it will never be as popular as the big ones over here but it's definitely a little well-known by its target audience.

 

For what it's worth, I think it will do Maze Runners numbers around here; $7m

Yes, but that's one location. I don't think the film will blow up anywhere outside of the Americas if you wanna be technical. It should do okay though.

top critics is even worse 

 

[DAJK]

Ugh. Someone just go watch Big Fish. Restore your faith in Burton. Then decide whether or not to give this movie a shot

[Arlborn]

Interesting title. It's actually 55% after 22 reviews though.

Depends on your definition of fine.I see it doing Maze Runner numbers as its best case scenario.

Ender's Game / I am Number Four  numbers would be the possible worst case scenarios I believe.

Fine as in a 70-90M run.

Is the title some sort of "made ya look" joke?

That's one way to put it.

 

I want this to do well, if only because the Passengers trailer is being put before it (and Deepwater Horizons).   I thought this looked good, then creepy, then I learned it was Tim Burton, so that kinda explained it.  I won't be going, because he is really not to my taste, but I wish it well.

 

I think it will suffer for having Fantastic Beasts opening this year, though.

Why would anyone choose to see this over Deepwater Horizon this weekend?

I think they are 80% different markets.

That thread title is cruel. 

[filmlover]

I won't be surprised if this does as poorly as Pan tbh.

[Arlborn]

58% RT is 10% higher than my favorite movie of this year(so far); it really isn't a bad score for this kind of movie if it holds. Maze Runner had 65% and its sequel 48% and yet they are pretty fun YA movies.

 

Too early though, only 26 reviews in, a lot still to change. It will probably go down, but you never know.

[WeneedtotalkaboutKevin]

Ironically, out of all her movies, this movie in which Evan Green does not get nude is probably the one that will probably tank the most.
