The Toymaker Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 The Expendables 2 RT 66% Audience 74% Perks RT 86% Audience 95% Both fresh. TE2 grossed $300m worldwide. Perks grossed less than $10m worldwide. Perks is not that far ahead of TE2 to suggest that it will be remembered forever, and TE2 is not so low that it's an embarrassment and will be forgotten. People enjoyed both movies, but only TE2 has something to show for it. Not only that but TE2 will be remembered for having the greatest action stars ever all in one film. Perks is simply another adaptation story about teenagers. No hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody but losers like you will remember TE2, while Perks will be a cult hit that people will watch in 20 years, younger generations won't care about Grumpy Old Men 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bk03 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 And btw you haven't even seen Perks so you have no room to talk, it's not another Twilight type film. TE2 is barely above a DTV action movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TE2 is barely above a DTV action movie You said it's a fact that Stallone can't act. :rofl: Oh, and movies that are barely above DTV do not make $300m worldwide. DTV movies make less than $10m worldwide. Wait a minute, what did Perks make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Perks just started its run, granted it still won't make as much as TE2 WW but to discount it now is kind of silly. Of course the franchise action film with gaggles of 80s action stars would gross more than the indie drama with no A-list actors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 What is Perks , seriously? a movie that will make about 20m total and be forgotten about in a month. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Also plenty of movies that did poorly at the box office and had great reception were not quickly forgotten. Look at The Hurt Locker, 17m DOM and 49m WW but it won a bunch of Oscars. Perks could be nominated for a few too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Wang Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 The Shawshank Redemption - $28m. The Princess Bride - $30mA Christmas Story - $20mThere are plenty of examples of movies that didn't catch a break when it was released, but are now considered classics.These are just a few and I guarantee plenty of people give lots of shit about them.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 The Hurt Locker would be forgotten by now if it didnt steal the Academy Awards from AVATAR. (And for that only, I remember it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
