Gosling obviously carries the whole thing but this reminded me that Emily Blunt could’ve been a pretty good action star if she had the chance.

 Yep Edge Of Tomorrow , Sicario, and even Jungle Cruise have shown that.

She chooses fun films, gotta credit her for that. Not many Oscar bait type films though in her filmography.

Estimated $50-60 million loss, according to Variety.

when you read these things and 95% of the movies lose money then how does hollywood stay in business?  Who had Fall guy making 250-300 Million to budget for it?

 

Seems like cost is the issue not the quality of the movies.  Where is cost going and why are stars getting such huge paychecks if the movies are all losing money?

I can't believe this did worse than Bullet train with way better reviews.

[upprdeck]

I wonder if it's just more the fact the movie market has tanked

 

and overseas has changed so much. Fall guy didn't even play in Japan

 

People just watching at home and what can movies do about that now?

Said this before, Pitt still has star power than any of the current gen so called "stars". The movie appealed to older action film audiences too.

She was actually Feige's first choice for The Black Widow, but had to pull out  because of previous commitments.

Yep Scar Jo was great but would love that alternate timeline where it was Blunt.
