This thing's got the look and feel of an old-timey August bomb. Brings me back to my youth.

Nah, I was already in my 20's when those were out. I'm talking way back.

How about Chain Reaction, starring Keanu Reeves and Morgan Freeman?

I was older but WAR starring Jason Statham and Jet Li was a good August bomb

As for this movie I have an inkling at least for me this is going to be a catch it on the couch some morning thinking well that wasn't as bad as they said it was type movie.

Embargo lifts tonight.  Prepare for bloodshed.

I can see cable channels showing this movie ENDLESSLY because of the short running time. It will be one of those movies that always get you to change the channel to see something better.

It seems destined for a long Spike run

Army of Darkness

It is at #2 on Pulse. This movie could turn out to be a modest hit, if the budget is actually that low.

Or not, if the reviews are as bad as many expect.

It should make more than double its budget OS. Similar looking movies such as Underworld, RE and knock offs do well OS.

So...how low can RT go on this one?

Or Paramount Network as it's going to be known in the future, yes.

Given the embargo, the constant studio meddling / behind the scene shit we've heard, I'm guessing it'll go no higher then 15% on rotten tomatoes.

At #5 on Pulse now. Was at #2 at like 6am Pacific when current movies are not selling tickets.

[Morieris]

Boxoffice.com is expecting it to open first...even with Dunkirk's third weekend being lower I think that's too optimistic.

Fanboy previews rush, it won't be making much in the US, sadly.

I'm going under 27%. Hell, under BvS, GL AND B&R.
