Amsterdam | David O. Russell | October 7, 2022 | Christian Bale to star | 20th Century Studios

Recommended Posts



In hindsight, the marketing probably should have been more overt about the real-life events that are part of the movie's plot, but are only vaguely alluded to in ads/trailers. The media would have picked it up, and you might have appealed to some history junkies out there.

 

The studio also could have saved on the advertising budget by milking the right-wing outrage machine for free publicity. If only that crowd had known what Amsterdam is really about: they love to bash Hollyweird for "going woke" and being "preachy" with its "liberal" message. Critics might have been a bit more torn between eviscerating DOR and wanting to back a movie publicly under attack for its politics, and that possibly tilts the RT score to mediocre (50-60 percent) rather than aggressively bad.

 

Maybe none of that turns Amstetdam into a hit, but maybe makes it less of a flop?

The biggest awards season tentpole/ large ensemble period flop since 2014's monument's men

Remember this disaster with a top ensemble cast of Clooney, Damon, Bill murray, john goodman and Cate Blanchette.

 

Both are similarly bad rating on RT.

Lol I had completely forgotten about this movie! My local theater had its huge poster at one of the central locations of the venue and people used to go like "Omg look at the star cast! This movie is going to be so good!". :lol:  Aside from this one, 2014 was a great year for movies.

The box office for The Monuments Men was $156 million worldwide, Disney would be very happy if Amsterdam made anything close to that much (in 2014 or 2022 dollars). Obviously it won't, the market has changed and even by 2014 standards, that's respectable money for a poorly reviewed one-time Oscar hopeful.
