Tbf, Gerard was just as excited for Gods of Egypt as he is for this.

Considering the movie has been in the can for ages, they probably forgot they were in it.

Quote

Film review: Geostorm – Gerard Butler fights climate change in contrived sci-fi action epic
After a year of extreme weather events, what should have been a well acted, timely cautionary tale about climate change somehow fails to hit home, let down by a clumsy and contrived plot

I guess WB really doesn’t care about Geostorm since they’re allowing the review to be released

Need those stinker reviews out in front since they're trying to capture the audience that really enjoys a so bad it good movie.

this those 4/10, 2.5/5 kind of review sound like bad news, a couple of 2 or 3/10 would help.

I don’t think it’ll make that much OS given it’s a week before Thor.

A few months ago people were predicted $35m-$45m opening weekend for this, but now everyone's sub-$10m. Wondering what happened to change the predicts by such a big amount. 

I'm not one of those people because this looked like a total bomb from day one.

Not sure why they chose to open a big budget disaster movie in the middle of October where most movies either thrive or die.

Because this was going to die no matter where it was  

[filmlover]

Yeah, this was made so long ago that the people who made it (whether in front or behind the camera) probably forgot it even existed.

If you think this looks bad I don’t know what to tell you.  get better taste in cinema, I guess?

 

Nah I'm good.

[DAJK]

Wikipedia (by exactly reliable but good enough for me for now) has the budget at 81M. Even if this bombs domestically with 35M total, I don't see it having a problem doing 130-170M OS.

[RichWS]

Always interested in what accent Gerard Butler comes up with. 

[Morieris]

I'm surprised it's that cheap...must be some tax writeoffs i'm missing.
