Jay Beezy Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Why? Budget is probably too large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 Budget is probably too large. Not a reason Del Toro would expect it to bomb. Budget is 190M, so 380M+ is good, would be better at 450M+ though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a fanboy film without being based on fanboy source material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there's also the fact that del Toro, who's being plugged in the marketing, has never directed a big blockbuster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PR looks more like a fanboy film which isn't really gonna draw the GA, yet there's no fanboy source material. It looks mostly reliant only on del Toro's name, not too dissimilar from Snyder with Sucker Punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Beezy Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 OotP was this date. They have for the past few years. But since TDK, WB has usually had the third Friday. PR has the second. And like I said, WB doesn't have a patent on the spot. It's just a comfort spot which has generally been used for HP and Nolan. Del Toro ain't that level.
