Lucasmessi12 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 One of the worst possible release dates ever, I have no idea what Lionsgate was thinking when they decided to put that movie on that date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB33 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Probably because they knew the movie was dump and they treated it as such by giving it a dump date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB33 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Just realized Hellboy was previously scheduled for January 11. Guess it was always a dump then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has literally DOZENS of selling points, that either are missing in most other movies, and/or are exactly what you people here wish to be seeing in movies and always harp on liking.

Hellboy reminds me of Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny, will it have a sufficiently 'so bad it's good' sound track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I'll still see this... if I get to go for free. But my priority for that weekend will be Missing Link so we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't even know what it is selling. So far all I see is bad make up and prosthetics on the lead actor's face, tons of gory violence and the movie seeming to think that cursing equals good joke. Where is the heart? Why should I care? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGlass2 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Almost 30M total views on YouTube and the presales aren't completely awful. But Hellboy isn't doing so well on GoogleTrends. Maybe it could still surprise - not sure where is the bar for (half) success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Thinking this can still open to something like 15M. Going to finish below 35 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Heatnix Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 What's the budget for this movie. I imagine that it's not that expensive, given how this is a Avi lerner's production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll probably cut some minutes like they did to Logan and Resident Evil Final Chapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Craig Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) I'm looking forward to this. It still lingers like a bad aftertaste that DelTorro didn't prioritize a Hell Boy 3 with Perlman and Selma Blair. That group deserved to go out better than being trounced by The Dark Knight 5 days after opening.

Valonqar Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Restart of the franchise whose second movie was killed by TDK. Released 2 weeks before Endgame, lmao! Some people never learn from their mistakes. Bonus: Shay is its biggest stan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
