SLAM! Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I'm honestly really wanting to see this. I hope it finds a bit of an audience. It doesn't feel like a flop to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't feel like a flop to me. It does look pretty good, doesn't it? I'm really interested to see Boseman's performance in this. He was criticized for a less than stellar performance in his million dollar role as Black Panther in his solo movie so I'm curious about what he's got in store outside of Marvel Studios productions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Seen posters for this bragging that it's 'produced by the visionary director of Black Panther,' which is surely stretching the 'from the' marketing gimmick to breaking point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 This is gonna be a dud. Looks completely nondescript, competition for adult dollars is fierce, and Boseman's drawing power outside Marvel is unproven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudalb Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) Going to be slaughtered by Knives Out; both are competing for the same audience and for the same "counterprogramming to Frozen 2" slot, and with the reception and buzz Knives Out is getting I don't think this stands much of a a chance.

Curtis1986 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I need Boseman to start working on Black Panther 2 so we can have our next MCU film to oscar worthy reviews and major boxoffice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this one ever had a prayer of winning the counterprogramming battle. With all due respect to these guys, this movie is relying on the Russos' and Boseman's names to sell it because the concept is pretty basic. I say that as someone who thinks it looks pretty good and wants to see it. I'd like to support the Russos in particular by paying for tickets to their other projects (I know they're only producing). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudalb Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 That's the problem; 21 Bridges looks pretty good, Knives Out looks great. And to a degree,the BOseman appeal is sort of matched by this being Chris Evans first big post Captain America role. I agree that 21 Bridges looks like a decent thriller, but it is opening..in the US..against a thriller that looks a lot more then decent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, all for the sake of positive stories at the box office. I don't even care what they are (besides the obvious ones). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB33 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Well, hopes dashed. Middling were the reviews and middling was the box office; this came in 4th this past weekend with a $9.25M debut. This one clearly didn't have much more to offer than T'Challa being a cop and the Russos as producers. Did anyone see it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
