I hope they get this one right.  Hope they nail the feel of the original.

I assume this won’t be getting a China release either? 

 

They didn’t allow the 2016 film because of the ghosts.

Seems like a logical assumption to make.

This is going to flop, and prove once for all that the 2016 version didn't flop because: A) It starred woman,  It wasn't 'funny'. But because this brand is dated and has no OS appeal.

I’m fairly certain that the 2016 film would’ve at least have made more money domestically if it had been the long awaited GB3.

Does the failure of Terminator: Dark Fate spell trouble for this movie?

Gotta wait until a trailer is released first to determine where this is headed.

 

That said, it's gonna be really funny when this inevitably gets banned in China again.

I don't see direct connections at all.

 

Different genres, ratings, budgets, release dates, blah blah blah.

i think so. their situation is quite similar. a reboot  so soon is not a good idea. i think the final gross of this movie will be less than its predecesor

Like with Terminator: Dark Fate, GB2020 is supposed to be a revitalization of a beloved 80s franchise that’s coming out a mere four years after the last movie tanked. That was why I made the comparison.

One of those is an R-rated action drama that cost nearly $200m to produce.

 

The other is going to be a family-centric supernatural comedy with a budget in the range of $30-$50m (per Dan Aykroyd)

 

I don't see how Dark Fate's failure has any relation to GB2020.

There's one very key similarity though: nobody asked for it. There's no rooted interest in it.

Yeah, and two years ago no one wanted a Joker film.

 

I see a pathway for this film's success, if it embraces a low-budget nature and emphasizes the Stranger Things/It feeling of nostalgic adolescence.

 

What are the honest, realistic thresholds this film needs to cross to be considered a success (lets assume a $50m budget). Lets say $30 OW, $100m domestic, $200m global. Is that a success?

On a $50M budget? I suppose yeah that would be a success. I'm not great with budgets and break even points and stuff though.

The budget’s going to be that low?
