MCKillswitch123 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Is this forum on open war against the MCU? Cause why the hell would anything else explain making a BLADE RUNNER weekend thread about it (Although, @CJohn, you should buy a Trump poster and tonguekiss it every night in punishment for putting the MCU in the same category as Trump and The Emoji Movie. You disappoint me. And before any of those Brazilian trolls jump on my wage, think for a bloody second before you say something that only humilliates your image further more. PORTUGAL IS YOUR CREATOR AND MASTER, BRAZILIANS. DEAL WITH IT). Anyway, if those BR2049 numbers are true....... fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, that's woeful. History repeats itself as both BR and its sequel are flops (2049's chances rest in China's hands, and even still, it's looking at 250-300M WW at best). Shame. Big shame, in fact. Oh well, it's gonna be another cult classic (albeit a more mainstream cult classic), and it's probably gonna sweep all of the technical awards, and maybe it can even get a Best Picture nomination. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes to show how much Logan over performed. Apes 3 opening does not seem so bad now. Also show how much Di Caprio is a draw for Revenant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webslinger Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 It's too bad it won't live up to the highest expectations. But then again, who does? Seriously, though, that's a letdown for Blade Runner. I guess a mid-30s opening is good when factoring in the long running time, the huge gap from the first film, and the fact that the first film is more of a classic with film buffs than with the general population, but I was at least expecting an opening in line with those of TRON: Legacy and Mad Max: Fury Road, which fit similar descriptors.

filmlover Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Funny how fall seemed like it was gonna make up for August being so weak with IT being so massive and now Kingsman, Ninjago, and Blade Runner have all disappointed. Kinda reinforces the notion that when people aren't interested in the movies, they just won't go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
