Same thing is happening in games. I'd much rather see Kings of Summer and Fruitvale Station than Hangover 3 and After Earth. Pacific Rim looks like that piff though.
Hollywood's bullshyt money making scheme is finally gonna backfire

Precise and cold hearted
Lamont be grinding hard for will and that's coo cuz I like will too but there are no excuses when your movie can't break 60 mill in the states. That's pathetic.
Mib3 was lucky over seas it killed it cuz it didn't even make its budget back in the us. That's pathetic too... needed international numbers to cover a flop.
breh i would love for the conjuring to be number 1 from the reviews it deserves it but its a rated r horror movie without a franchise against a kids movie in the middle of summer with voice actors people actually know

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
Lol will about to be in fast and the furious 8
With all these disasters flopping I am optimistic for the future of the movie industry for the first time in years. Summer time to me personally is a time where most trash comes out and I usually avoid the movies, usually big special effects attached to one or two stars with a horrible script.
Really sad man. Guess we'll never see the voltron movie
the same reason The Heat did so well breh.
It seems like EVERY SINGLE MOVIE is a big action blockbuster. You throw a light comedy in there and people will go see it simply cause it's different.
People aren't into movies enough to differentiate a good film like Pacific Rim as opposed to formulaic World War Z/White House Down etc. Personally I've given every single big budget action movie a miss, and Pacific Rim will be the first movie I see in theaters this summer after FF6. Why? I've done my research into directors and reviews and all that. 95% of people don't.
They just go to their 14 screen multiplex in their small town and just go
alright, this looks good. Alright, we saw a big budget action movie last weekend, we don't need to see another today.1. Despicable Me
2. The Conjuring
3. Turbo
4. Grown Ups
5. R.I.P.D.
I've barely seen any Turbo ads or commercials, Despicable Me will go strong just off the franchise name.
My opinion at least.
Ain't no way despicable me2 wouldn't be top 2 for another week or so. That there franchise with them short yellow fukks are right there with monsters inc in that toystory/shrek category of popular lil kid shyt.
Turbo can be hit or miss as the same overload/ burn out feeling may happen with the kids/parents.. like epic was luke warm, monsters inc killed it, despicable2 killed it, but now ain't there a smurfs flick comin out soon if not already? And now turbo? The latter 4 in damn near consecutive weeks
And I just don't see how ripd wouldn't flop. It ain't nothin new or refreshing, the old white guy is playin the goofy smart guy role that johnny Depp couldn't pull anyone in with in lone ranger.. and Ryan Reynolds is playin the will smith role circa men in black but mib3 felt old and tired as is.. and ain't no one checking for Reynolds on some smith, depp, pitt, denzel type of way. Id say it might do well overseas tho just off gp.

By us not going out and watching a big budget movie all we're actually doing is killing a sub genre for a few years until someone decides to reboot it. Hollywood doesn't give a fukk.
They force feed audiences shyt all of the time.
The Blockbuster will never die.

Is it time for the slave movies to come out yet. Oh my bad. Slave Genre...
Some execs had to go home and explain to their kids why there wasn't gonna be a Christmas over that movie...Deservedly so.
fukked up thing was. it was actualy a good movie. Not classic or anything but as Blockbusters go It was dope.
Doesn't hurt that I read a few of the books as a kid either..
But they REALLY fukked up the marketing
