And they love sci-fi and aren't like franchise fiends or anything like that. Just something about it clearly not connecting with audiences. Not fun enough, not dark enough, not cool enough, not dark enough. Same here . I keep trying to get my girl to see it with me but she says the trailers look too bland. She hates gore but she’s still choosing to see Saw X with me tomorrow over The Creator lol. Guess I have to see it alone next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially considering it was a flat out incompetently made film 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Tragic in ways I can't describe for The Creator and Dumb Money. Absolutely tragic. Both are great movies that deserved solid numbers. People just don't give a fuck about theaters anymore except for events. The marketplace is ill and there is no cure for it. Saw X also performed like shit. Yeah, it will give a profit but the entire point of this was to at least pull a 20M+ OW. Strong for Paw Patrol. It should have nice legs through October. I think that with that OD 25M OW might be in the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were a little confused, but it was mostly love. I'm definitely team Jupiter as well, always have been!

emoviefan Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 A Original Sci fi movie not doing great. That has never happened before ever. Theaters are doomed! But seriously yeah it sucks but sometimes taking a look at the past might be in order. 41 years ago the director hot off Alien and the actor hot off Empire Strikes Back and Raiders Lost of the Ark bombed pretty badly with a little sci-fi movie. Yeah the box office is not great right but using the Creator as an excuse for the usual around here seems a stretch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMisfits Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 With the closures in NYC, I'm gonna assume all of Deadline's early numbers might end up too high. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoguy Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) Studios are terrified of taking risks, so orginal idea films are becoming more and more rare. People are always complaining about wanting new ideas, but turn around and never support the movie by going to see it. Creator is just another example of something failing because its not a big IP. Even big IP like Fast and Indy are aging out of their audience. In 20 years movies are going to be completely devoid of anything worth watching, it'll just be a bunch of tired sequels, prequels, and remakes.

I think more importantly for this discussion, global merchandise rights are with BBC. Disney spending marketing money for a movie without any merchandise backend seems unlikely. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Too bad Dumb Money is flopping so hard upon wide expansion. I saw it last weekend and it was an entertaining, if largely lacking depth, take on a major story from not too long ago with strong performances from the entire starry cast (I'm convinced Paul Dano would've eventually found his way to becoming a YouTube personality if he hadn't proven himself to be a highly skilled actor ). But it was always going to struggle between being way too soon for a true story period piece set during the COVID era, no awards buzz, and, yes, the aforementioned starry cast being unable to do any press for it.

Honestly, I feel like the audience for this particular period piece movie (aka the social media crowd that are depicted in the film making memes out of the whole saga) consider watching a Hollywood-produced feature about something they all lived through as "beneath" them.
