Sanders will still be sent off to the glue factory alongside the Fantastic Four 2015 guy.

 

Sanders never pissed off studio executives by openly denouncing his own film before it was released though.

Fox will easily make their money back then. Thinking $20M domestic/$65M Worldwide.

 

$65m WW would be fine, the previous films did $72-77m WW and it'll still be profitable.

The behind the scenes stories will be glorious.

Hoping for a -70% for Alien Covenant on second week-end, forcing Fox to pull the plug on whatever Scott is cooking next for this rotting franchise.

 

This is going to have toxic WOM, I'm pretty sure about this. I don't see any public being satisfied with this movie, fans are going to hate Ridley's decisions, while the GP searching for some Horror will be disappointed with the lack of creativity, and lack of jump scares. I wouldn't be surprised with an under Godzilla multiple.

I think it'll have mixed WOM more than toxic but it's not going to have Prometheus' legs

15-18 year olds were not chomping at the bit to watch Wimpy Kid no matter who was in it.

Were the 15-18 year old's ever going to watch it? Maybe the franchise was bigger in the states but I've never even heard anyone mention those movies and I was around that age when they came out.

Even some of the younger ones like surprisingly the 10-12 year olds are pissed off too.

Wimpy Kid was always an "age out of" franchise, not a Harry Potter.

Most of us were around 5-8 when the book came out and 8-11 when the first movie came out. Trust me, no gave a shit after the third movie though, but most were mad due to nostalgia.

Huh? They're targeting an adult demo. 

[aabattery]

I just can't understand being mad at recasting in a franchise like Wimpy Kid. Oh well, I'm not the demo for it.

So why do you care whether they were mad or not if they weren't watching anyway?

Especially since the original cast are too old by now.

10-12 year olds really shouldn't be on Twitter or any social media and there are better things to be annoyed about rather than a role being recast.

Goldie's return is bringing out all those old folks homes during the day, man. You, of all people, should be aware of that.

Neither do I. And I had most of the books as a kid.

The people the other guy was mentioning are no longer the target demo either.
