Man, I know there are only 8 reviews and I know we all knew it was going to be crap but 2/10 averate rating? You gotta try hard for that.

Last year, theaters were Jempty.  This year, theaters failed to the MAX!

[Blaze Heatnix]

I'm actually curious to watch this Max Steel movie. I'm not expecting anything other than a bad movie. Maybe I'll be surprised.

 

I know some people that have watched it, and they all said this movie isn't actually bad at all. I guess this is obviously gonna be buried during its release, and it'll sell better on dvd and blu-ray. Is this even getting released worldwide? 

 

By the way, I see people saying the budget is only 5-10 million. Is that true? 

[Blaze Heatnix]

Let's also remember: The first 13 reviews for BVS were all rotten. So, there's hope for Max Steel.

 

This is my optimistic side talking louder than my realistic one. XD

WB's THE ACCOUNTANT rang up $24.7M in its #1 debut--a larger opening than Ben Affleck's ARGO and THE TOWN.

I thought I read it was 20 millions some months ago, but I am really not sure. 5-10 million for what it seems to be trying to do seems awfully low but maybe that's the reason it's failing so bad.

That's pretty good for it actually.

 

Any chance at 100m with the great WOM, I wonder?

Unlikely. It's gonna begin shedding theaters too quickly once November arrives. $80M+ is possible though.

No.

Really depends how JR and Inferno perform. If both bomb this could really leg it out until Dr Strange. 

 

But it I think Reacher and Inferno will both be somewhat solid performers, so I'm not really expecting this to get a 4 multiplier. A 3 should happen at least.

I reckon Reacher will be $15-20m which is the roughly the same as the last film with Inferno doing $25-30m.

I am here for the Inferno OS numbers.

It's down in Germany and Italy but up in Russia. Given the seven year gap between films, it's probably not surprising it's down in many places but the budget's low enough to ensure that a $250-300m WW gross means it'll be profitable or at least break even

It is down here too but A&D was so big that the Inferno OW is still gonna be huge.

Though if everything worked out as originally planned, Mattel may have failed on Oct. 7 if their live action Monster High movie ever got made w/ Universal.

A live action Monster High right now would have done decent cash. The budget for that would be really low since it'd be really light on effects and you can just pick up whatever aspiring starlets for a fun little film aimed at early teens and young girls. We're also still in the midst of the popularity of the brand and toys for it are still around and selling well. Though the window to make money for that movie is likely closing rapidly right now as time passes.

 

Jem was bound for failure since it was a mid-popularity 80s property with no follow up until a moderate re-push a year or two ago. Same with Max Steel, which was just moderately popular in the early 2000s. The movie-making process is unfortunately long and difficult, so it's hard to get a movie out during optimal times. Warcraft, for example, would have done much better if it was released when it was initially conceived at WoW's peak around 2009-2011.

The timing would have been perfect - if they had held off their "Not-Reboot" for another year and went through with it, it would have been a better send off than whatever the last direct to DVD movie was before Welcome to Monster High , it's right around Halloween, push those costumes, get a movie tie-in line.
