Yeah, but it's 2013. How well did the last Men in Black film do?
Yeah, but look at those stats... it did the worst of all the MIB movies, and wasn't in the top 10 for the year. After Earth doesn't even have that franchise recognition going for it.
True, but his movies make money because of their lower budgets.
The reason he is not a tent-pole actor is because he chooses not to be.
He's one of the most in demand actors in Hollywood. He could have a Blockbuster or a franchise any time he wants.
yeah, that is another thing. We need actors under 30 to keep things fresh. Its gonna turn out like the music industry soon: where all the major exposed movies (or songs) stop selling and people are forced to get creative again and do so with quality. Only so much bullshyt people can tolerate before they rebel.
Exactly. I blame Hollywood studios for not accepting originality anymore. As well as our fukked up school systems that banished art for more testing. Pulling off all that bullshyt will haunt us and harm us very soon.
So After Earth is looking like it's going to have a $230 million dollar marketing and production budget when all is said and done.
It will make that back and more. But 75% of that money will be international.

Drive was one of the best movies of 2011 and arguably one of the top 10 in the last decade. It made only 35 million at the box office. And people were suing (true story) because they felt like they were fooled into seeing the movie and there wasn't enough action in it.
'Let Me In' a great horror remake to the original 'Let the right one in', made shyt at the box office. The producers were taking a chance by trying to introduce American's to true horror movie that didn't rely on cheap scares. It basically BOMBED. Yet every stupid rehashed haunted house/possessed kids horror movie will kill at the box office.
Blame middle America for not accepting originality. The Midwest in particular. That's who Hollywood markets their movies to. The studios are in the business to make money. And Americans only like the familiar. That's why we get comic book movies, a billion and 1 sequels, and a ton of needless remakes. America HATES originality.
Lack of originality will ultimately doom us. Even if it ain't selling, originality bailed industries out when they think that they don't need it. Look at the music industry that is just now coming to grips that they need talent again for people to actually BUY music. Hollywood will learn it the hard way very soon.
Nome of these movies will flop

You're right, my fault. The other link said otherwise, though, and it adjusted for inflation, too, so it was more realistic. But again, that was a franchise with the first movie being wildly successful, spinning off into sequels, a cartoon series, etc. After Earth isn't.
