It is bad.

Ghost in the Shell is not even screening for critics? Whoa we got a turd on our hand it looks like. I feel like it can still get up to 30m opening weekend thanks to ScarJo and some cool ads

Amazing how so many people have negative opinions on this after it opened Softly. Funny I didn't hear anybody saying anything like this when the reviews were good and last week people were talking about it opening over 20 million.

 

 

Have you discovered today the big alienation of many people in this forum?
You should have entered the PR thread when the reviews came out.

Dat Life number. Ryan Reynolds is back to being Ryan Reynolds for the time being.

[John Marston]

well at least Life will open higher than Apollo 18 and Red Planet lol

It doesn't have much money to give. Life's only hope were The Shallows and Don't Breathe. But all their money was sent to Ghostbusters. Better luck next time Life.

Doesn't help that the movie's been caught up in a whitewashing controversy either.

you talking about Passengers? It is at 99m right now. A theater near me added on screening. Doubt it will help that much

if it wasn't for life and shack, get out could get even more.......too much competition for march last 2 years

Boss baby will pull a Home..... and the board will be shocked. 

[Webslinger]

Beauty and the Beast is still running the table when it comes to the family audience, so I don't see Boss Baby breaking out.

Rebecca Ferguson should start picking better projects. She was a non-entity in the awful Girl on the Train and great in Life but very few are seeing Life.  And she has a movie with Flopbender that has been screened and isn't good either. 

She's gonna be in The Greatest Showman. That looks promising. Maybe she can snag a Golden Globe nomination.

 

Where did you read that The Snowman is bad?

I wasn't a fan of Reynolds before, but he really impressed me in LIFE. Very strong presence

@Alli It was discussed on several movie awards forums that it was screened (test screening?) and wasn't good. Dull, unremarkable. Not awful but not great either. 

 

I'm crossing fingers for The Greatest Showman for Hugh, Rebecca and Michaelle. I'm worried about the director (has done only commercials) but sometimes debuts are more stellar than experienced works so anything is possible. 

[Mockingjay Raphael]

I hope that Life bombing isn't a sign that people are tired of sci-fi/Horror movies, otherwise Alien is fucked.

I've nothing against the guy, but he's a textbook definition of a character being way more popular than an actor. That seems to be the trend with superheroes though.

[Valonqar]

Any hope Disney puts BatB in dollar theaters at the end of its run? That shit ads up the coffers so much.

Glad power rangers haters lost,...... best weekend ever
