Recently rated PG-13 for violence, some thematic material, drug use, smoking and brief strong language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfHan Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Looks good. I can see this crossing 50M if they give it a good release and push the Narcos connection more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) So it seems Israelis want their hoo-ra patriotism movie too. Looks competent, I guess, but nuance doesn't seem to be much of a goal here. Edited January 22, 2018 by tribefan695 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAM! Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Focus Features has been very smart with this film, placing it in front of many popular awards season films. This'll do better than it would've done without the advertising, that's for sure. Edited January 22, 2018 by slambros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That One Guy Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) This is getting poor reviews https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/7_days_in_entebbe_2018/ Edited February 23, 2018 by That One Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 It's a damn shame how Rosamund Pike's career is in pretty much the same place it was pre-Gone Girl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Gonna be a rough month for Focus between this and Thoroughbreds making peanuts back to back (the latter got good reviews at Sundance last year but is being dumped with virtually no marketing).

I’ve seen a little bit of marketing for Thoroughbreds actually. Got a trailer for it before I Tonya and seen a few ads around the internet and on YouTube videos. I’ve seen less Tomb Raider ads than I have for Thoroughbreds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Thoroughbreds seems to be destined for a cult-movie fate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Looks like this movie does NOT know the way. Probably will struggle to make 5M total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudalb Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 You have a basic problem doing a suspense film based on real events where everybody knows how it will end. It can be done...the original 1973 "Day Of The Jackle" shows that...but it is not easy to do. They apparently did not do it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the reviews she got for Gone Girl, I am betting some good scripts came her way, she just made poor choices. A lot of people were predicting big things for her after she stole "Die Another Day" ,but a string of bad films followed that on also. Thing is, it's a pattern for her. SOmetimes an artist's problem are mainly of their own making. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOmetimes an artist's problem are mainly of their own making. Looking through her recent films, I'm not seeing much of a pattern other than they haven't made much money. Sure, some are poorly received but there's also several in there with decent reception (A United Kingdom, Hostiles, Beirut) . It just so happens that none of them made much money but I don't really see why that's her fault. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
