That's a lazy poster.

 

It feels like a remix of PASSENGERS.

Joss Whedon s new favourite movie of 2016.

Hope the BOT collective hive mind is wrong on this one ...

Enjoy. I like what I see, but it's going to BOMB everywhere. These leads.....Luc besson fucked up. 200+M budget and he casts these two. 

[MrPink]

I actually don't mind DeHaan, but I think he needs to stick to creepy/angsty characters.

 

Still though, the leads seem like they're gonna sink this film

[Arlborn]

That's gonna look so gorgeous on a big screen.

whoa that trailer was good as hell. not into dehaan though. i know dude is like over 30 but every movie his voice is like a kid putting on a grown up voice so he can get into an r rated movie.

Maybe you're right about the leads but I really don't see it bombing in France at the very least.

 

I don't think it bombs OS at all, but you guys seem to be so sure of it, I guess we'll see.

France will skip this for Dunkirk. Power of Nolan+historical ww2 film.

It's Luc Besson doing an iconic French product, they won't skip this.

I'm sure France will be thrilled by a British centered WWII film.

 

Lucy made almost $44m in France. I'd expect at least that for Valerian.

Valerian will do well in some markets I'd I imagine, but considering the cost, having a hard time seeing more than say, 250m-300 WW or so and could easily do much worse. 

 

Looks really pretty. 

[Mr Impossible]

I loved the trailer it looks fun and interesting.

This is STX? That's quite a gamble, I just read an article about how they're having financial problems, a big budget bomb like this won't help. The only two hits they had where Bad Moms and The Gift.

[75Live]

yeah I will most likely see this, but not expecting much due to one of the leads.  However, I'm just hoping for a good time at the theater from it

Besson was gonna self distribute this essentially, but then STX took over domestic marketing and distribution for EuropaCorp's slate including this and The Circle.

Here's the article I read about them
