Box Office Bombs Have Paramount Losing Over $500M in Next 2 Years

[Bruce LeRoy]

Hmmm

Tom Cruise can help ease the pain with Jack Reacher: Never Go Back-->first one was great...

Tom Cruise at was making them lose a lot of money too on the MI movies because he was taking a huge portion of the profits from the back end.

Nah, the character is a former Negro League baseball player.
Its an August Wilson play that Denzel and Viola Davis starred in on broadway.

From Wikipedia

An exhibit at the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum at Pittsburgh's Senator Heinz History Center states that Burley was the model for the character Troy in August Wilson's playFences.

Paramount and Sony are dumpster fires right now

If WB keeps shytting on the DC brand they'll be heading in that direction real soon

 

[Sonny Bonds]

Also, with that math it seems like it would make more sense to produce a bunch of small or mid budget movies with higher profit margins rather than these expensive joints. Do they really expect every movie they put out to gross over 500 million? Sounds like they want to flop. But I'm sure they have a reason for it...

Exactly.
Look at The Hangover:
Budget $35 million
Box office $467.5 million

Even Movie 43, which is universally reviled made money.
Budget $6 million
Box office $32.4 million

There's a reason why Marlon Wayans keeps making stupid comedies, even though he's a legit trained actor.

Wonder why Wilson didn't just make the character be a boxer if he was using Burley's life as inspiration?

Those movies are fine. Stop believing the propaganda

Speaking of which, just saw Hell or High Water Today from start to finish. I was going to get in my feelings during the epilogue but it ended up being real smooth and worked really well. I'm hard pressed to find an issue with it

First day BluRay cop.

Burley was also a good baseball player
