So this is what an "Event Film" is to Sony these days?

That tells you A LOT about The Dark Tower.

At least it's an original property?

 

[Ethan Hunt]

I mean someone obviously dished some cash on this. Because it looks amazing

[junkshop36]

Soooo, they're early prehistoric man but he knows exactly how to re-set his dislocated ankle? He wouldn't be able to walk without some type of support for quite a while after. 

 

Anyway, looks ok-ish but I don't see it doing too well. 

[Blankments]

Yikes this looks really cheesy lol

Looks like the half assed love child of THE REVENANT and THE GOOD DINOSAUR.

That's exactly what I thought while watching the trailer as well.

The Shay will see this like 10 times.

 

This is what best movie ever looks like.

I keep reading "Soul Train". What the fuck is a Solutrean?

So I just got an e-mail from an Advance Screenings site that a local Philly theater will be showing an advance screening of this film...two days from now. So they're showing a movie that won't come out for another three months in advance...I don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.

That's...really good actually.  Sony must have confidence.

Or it's a very public test screening, à la Roman Israel, Esq.

[JB33]

This kind of movie is right up my alley so I'll be there! Hope it's actually good.

I'm publishing my new sci-fi book today (it's actually a new edition of a 90ies classic, loved by all) - and I'd like to dedicate it to this movie. May it have the same success!

Sadly, I can no longer support this movie.

[WrathOfHan]

This is going to bomb even harder.

[SLAM!]

They might as well pull this from theaters at this point. Talk about a PR nightmare.

Worth noting that this article is over a year old.

A Dog's Purpose

Total Lifetime Grosses

Domestic:	$64,321,890	32.8%
+ Foreign:	$131,878,234	67.2%
= Worldwide:	$196,200,124

 

It is hard to determine that entertainment type news can hurt or help a movie that much, if a dog purpose would have flopped instead of being one of 2017 biggest success story (nearly 9 times it's budget in theater) we would have thought that it had something to do with the controversy (and that would have not been the case)

Except that A Dog's Purpose video turned out to be manipulated bullshit.
