Shit, Deadline just updated with projected 58.7M Friday. The number is going down by the hour, WTF:

 

 

We literally have just gotten some new numbers(63-65) from our insiders and I'd rather believe in RTH and Empire City than Deadline.

I heard a wild rumor that Warner Bros. had to pay to basically shoot King Arthur twice.  

 

WB is a real mess these days.

@Arlborn is my one companion throughout all of this.

Vslerian is the closest thing to a guaranteed bomb I've ever seen

 

It's okay... As long as Cara Delevingine knows Brie Larson we will be okay...

A reluctant one at that. Especially after the shit you pulled with your clubs.

That's not how it works

How what works? He's fine as fuck and  deserves to be on more than one page.

Did that rumor happen to let you know why something like that would have happened? I'm curious.

 

Re-shoots are an expensive habit with Ritchie.  They ballooned the Man From Uncle budget about 50% (after they cut it when they lost Cruise) and that film was also delayed a year from when it was supposed to open.  I think Sherlock Holmes was also a 6 month release delay,   Ritchie helped make WB a lot of money with the Holmes movies so they gave him a long leash even after UNCLE lost them a packet.  But it makes me wonder if the rumors are true about Arthur why Disney would hire him for Aladdin - that could be a John Carter like disaster

Have a bad feeling about Spidey Homecoming too, first trailer looked basic AF.

Where do you see this?  I checked Deadline and their last update was the noon one.

Deadline didn't post the numbers he's quoting. 

[WrathOfHan]

Asking this here because the film's thread is a dumpster fire right now: @EmpireCity, did you see GITS in 3D?

Only three above 20m. Lucy and The Family were fairly mainstream. Valerian seems weird. 

[CJohn]

That DHD number is rough. 

[filmlover]

That Luke Evans speedo pic from the other page, jesus. At least he's got the body to pull it off.

Valerian can easily be mainstream if it's marketed correctly.

They said that about Titanic too  

 

Titanic had Cameron behind the camera.  He never had a bomb.  Valerian looks destined to be Jupiter Ascending 2.

[Goffe]

I think King Arthur looks rad, probably second most anticipated film this summer.

Shit that's true, I had almost forgotten about that crap he pulled on me. Thank you for reminding me of that.

 

I already know what my next club will be but I'm gonna be completely quiet about it until I drop it on everyone's laps just so no punk can still my golden idea again.

 

 

 

Talking about clubs, my first club is well on its way to success, I'm so proud of it.
