The Fault in our Stars is almost 8 years old, very few people saw that one too, and that's it. 

 

 

now we know for sure you're a troll.

With some marketing effort this should to at least $10-15 million on opening weekend thanks to Gal Gadot's star power, and that would be great for an adult film in the current marketplace. But we don't know if Disney will just dump it with minimum advertisement.

Gal Gadot's star power? Outside of Wonder Woman, I don't think she really has much of a draw.

Red Notice was a big hit too

The "star" is not even promoting the movie on her social media accounts

I'm sure The Rock & Ryan Reynolds being in it had nothing to do with it. Sure, let's pretend Gal was the selling point of that film.

That said if she smile in the trailers, people do not even have to know who she is to have some possible effect. She has old school Hollywood star screen presence.

Will be very interesting to track. Does anybody know when the pesales start? So far it's status "Remind Me".

 

Some cast stories have reached normal movie websites in Germany (which is not the norm) but as I said there, A. Hammer plays Simon, an ambivalent character to say it nicely. Helps enormously. 

 

The story itself is great and so is the setting. My advice for any interested person who is lucky enough not to know the plot is: Just stay uninformed! You won't regret it.

It's sad to see that a movie which would have done great worldwide without Covid and other problems is struggling now.

But to stay positive, every episode of these Hercules Poirot crime stories is new (and I hope a third part is happening).

Yes she does, she has a unique charisma for sure, very likable.

I mean, I think we know.  They didn't even bother to put a teaser or a trailer or anything out for this until 6 weeks before release.  

 

Like with everything 20thCentury, they are dumping it and putting the bare minimum in per their contractual requirements.  

[Porthos]

Just saw an ad for this on the MNF playoff game, so marketing might be ramping up (at least on traditional avenues).

 

(*cue cries of "there was no advertising" in a few weeks time...*)

This is running ads nonstop in Times Square. They're trying.

I thought Orient Express was really quite bad, and I have a high threshold for mediocre Christie adaptations. Zero reason to think this'll be any better, though I am surprised it's not being dumped completely.

[Napoleon]

This would have been a big hit in a world without covid. It was coming out in 2020, when everyone still loved Shuri and wanted to date Armie Hammer, and Gal Gadot would've just had a big global box office hit with Wonder Woman 1984. It would easily overcome the mediocre reception to Murder On the Orient Express.

 

I'm kinda hyped to see this still.

[The GOAT]

Wouldn't it be extremely funny if Armie Hammer was the killer?

I guess China isn't worried about it being too successful.  Uncharted also got a date - but still no SM

That seems a bit low. the last one made over $100m. yeah box office is different now, but I expect this to open to high-teens/low twenties tbh.

I still love Shuri. let the poor girl make her own choices. I'm sure she has her reasons.
