Ok this is more so against the exploitation of 3D overall and not just Bourne. Bourne was the last straw.

Sony has actually had a pretty damn good year.  They may have lost with Ghostbusters, Brothers Grimsby, and PPZ, but they'll make up for it with grosses from their other films.  People that say Sony will shut down just because of Ghostbusters are full of shit.

turning out in force for effects-heavy 3D fare since Avatar became a phenomenon in China in 2007.

A post-converted 3D Bourne movie with the handheld, jerky action does sound like such a perfect fit though. I wonder why audiences are angry.

Actually, I'd love to see Bourne in 3D so I can say I saw JESUS CHRIST THAT'S JASON BOURNE in 3D.

Yeah it does. Match made in heaven. What's to complain about? Should be happy to get it.

What a year for horror. And what a year for Sony (ignoring the Ghostbusters thing) - Risen, Miracles From Heaven, Angry Birds, Sausage Party, The Shallows, Money Monster, and now Don't Breathe. And they've still got The Magnificent Seven, When The Bough Breaks, Passengers, Billy Lynn, and assuming it doesn't nosedive from the previous two entries, Inferno to go. A true rebound from their disastrous 2015.

 

It's funny that Ghostbusters is their highest grosser domestically.

 

Shame about that budget. Still, they won't be losing any money this year.

Evil Deadpool had 1.8m previews as well and opened to 25.7m. So high teens should be goal.

 

Took me a while to realize that you meant Evil Dead. Although a movie called Evil Deadpool sounds like it would be pretty good.

Evil person makes an exact copy of Deadpool's costume.  uses it to his advantage to kill good people.  Deadpool fights him.  He wins.

PPZ wasn't that expensive and they only handled distribution in the US and a handful of territories. They still have Mag 7 which will likely be successful and Billy Lynn will be a critical hit as well

Here's an article that says they are selling foreign rights...doesn't say they sold them all.

The flip side is to the extent they sold them, it covered production budget making what they do take in more along the lines of sheer profit.

 

ooops, Tele said that first.  (I guess you both lost bets again....what ARE these names?)
