This was great

[Valonqar]

this is gonna kill on streaming. It hasn't been seen by many but those who saw it love it. More people will discover it on home video and then they'll be like "where was this movie all my life"?

Was really looking forward to seeing this. Went to the cinema last night, tried to get a seat but realised I'd left my card at home. No problem, I'll return the following night... and now as of today it seems to have disappeared from pretty much every cinema nationwide. Wtf... can't remember the last big budget film that got dropped in LESS than 2 weeks. Annoying as FUCK!

Nobody wants to see it so there is no reason for theaters to keep playing a movie to empty theaters.

it really was. Kept me engaged. The lead actors kept me glued to the screen. Very satisfactory ending as well.  Ridley Scott nails it yet again.

I would be too if I made a movie this damn good and nobody came to see it.

People need to stop with millennials when they’re ranting about the kids these days the older millennials are like 40 now.

homeboy not exactly wrong

 

which do you think the facebook/tick tock generation is more likely to go see?  A brutal medieval drama with heavy subject matter or a colorful spiderman action movie with tabloid leads their age that they project themselves onto?

Tell old man ridley we'll watch his movie next week on Disney+ for free.

 

I dont know why they thought the kids were going to leave their house for this.

“I think what it boils down to — what we’ve got today [are] the audiences who were brought up on these fucking cell phones. The millennian, [who] do not ever want to be taught anything unless you told it on the cell phone,” Scott said.

 

What a king lol, he's 100% completely right.

They've been making SpiderMan films for 20 years now.

From the looks of things the pagers & newspaper generation also preferred a Spidey film.

FWIW, I didn't know this was coming out until it was already in theatres. And I'm into movies. The average person had no chance.

[Avatree]

 

doesn't even make sense to criticise the "latest generation" audience when this film was aimed squarely at older audience.

I think I seriously saw just one ad and the only theater within an hour from me that had it playing only showed it on a small, shitty screen late at night most days. Where's Ridley on that?

We need to stop asking old men what they think. I just don’t care anymore. Thank you for giving the world Alien. That is all.

In that article he says Disney marketed it well and I disagree with that, the shitty marketing also played a part in is BO failure.  I don't think he wants a public spat with the mouse, its just not worth it for him.  I don't think Scott will be working with FOX anymore after the acquisition though.  Gucci is with MGM and Napoleon is with Apple.

This gets to one of my pet peeves - people saying Millennials when they actually are talking about the people under 25.

And Gladiator 2 is with Paramount.

 

To throw in my own $0.02, Disney/20th Century fucked the film further with the release date (week after Bond, week before Dune, same week as Halloween Kills).

 

It would've been smarter to do a limited release from early December before opening it wide in January.

Not sure what Ridley thinks this childish whining will accomplish
