She was marketed? I had no clue she was in this until I saw the movie

I routinely have 80-100+ Alerts.
I'm well aware of Irwin Winkler's law suit. He claimed the movie made $275 million total. In 2014. Meaning it took 24 years to do more than what "TMNT" did in it's initial run. So how was it more profitable?
Also keep in mind you have no idea if these numbers are even true, as they settled out of court. According to WB the movie never even broke even.
AMC is showing "Parasite" 5 minutes away from me.
Also there's an Alamo Drafthouse in Brooklyn. Again, where exactly do you live?
You're talking about genres, I'm talking about quality.
You seriously think Scorsese was happy with "Goodfellas" being blown out of the water by "3 Men And A Little Lady"?
Let alone "Total Recall", which was an "amusement park" film from that era.
Which again is my point. "Goodfellas" was the best film on that list by a wide margin....yet it's nowhere near the most successful.

Don't ever trust studio accounting. According to WBs accounting HARRY POTTER still hasn't made them money, which is a lie.
Groot only had 3
Them accountants can make numbers dance
I seriously doubt WB is telling the truth about Harry Potter. It'd be damn near impossible.
However, the original talking point was "Goodfellas" which made $46 million in it's original box office run. Which would be considered a flop. Dude I was arguing with starting bringing up how much it made in the subsequent 25+ years since it's release. Which was the topic of a law suit, settled out of court.
So on the one hand you have a guy claiming it made X amount of dollars with no proof available to the public....on the other hand you have WB saying it didn't turn a profit. The truth is between those two extremes.

Breh, I don't care about your delusions and @MartyMcFly being unable to recollect some dialog from a 3 and a half hour movie. Russ and Frank first talk about it at the bowling alley, and there is this bit of literal narration when they first show Hoffa interacting with Frank's daughter like a nice uncle:
'To Peggy, Jimmy wasn't like Russ, Skinny or even me. For one Jimmy didn't have a nickname like The Razor or The Hunchback or The Weasel or Whispers. And to her, he was helping people. He was helping them make more money, live better lives. He wasn't stomping on someone's hand.'
You are literally told why she saw Hoffa as different than Frank and his mob friends.
And now that you mention it, I recollect. Good work. Do more of that and less of being a condescending a$$hole. It works for you
appreciate it

As you see it, coli kellyanne ConwayNah, you do better and learn to recognize I speak facts at all times.
At all times!
There is literally nothing to suggest this movie would've been a hit.
Acting like "Wolf Of Wall Street", a movie that came out 6 years ago, with higher profile stars.....which itself only opened at #5 when released....is somehow proof this would've done well at the box office, is lunacy.
And
at "'Wolf Of Wall Street' was more profitable than 'Dark Phoenix'"....the fukk does that have to do with anything?So because a comic movie nobody wanted flopped....that's proof this movie would've been successful?
What is this based on? This is another "'Goodfellas' was more profitable than 'TMNT'" situation. You just say shyt sometimes, with no basis in reality.
The fact of the matter is "Wolf Of Wall Street" is an anomaly in Scorsese's filmography. It only did $392 mill but it's still his highest grossing movie.
Scorsese is not a hit maker, he never was. Most of his movies either under perform, barely break even, or outright flop.
I mean...."Goodfellas" took 24 years to make $275 million....and you acted like it's some amazing feat.

Sorry, that's another B
I do agree with the Pacino part. In his initial scenes it somehow felt like he was forcing it but eventually it felt right. The scene where he was flipping out in the office saying he was going to jail when De Niro left the room and he convinced him to come back in. That scene didn't feel authentic to me idk is it me or was he repeating some lines too ? Great movie overall though. I wouldn't put it over Casino or Goodfellas but I'm gonna rewatch again.shyt was weak and extra. Overacted by Pacino.
Oh yea Sebastian Manisalco killed his role
Really liked the movie, biggest flaw was no matter what time period they were in, Deniro moved like an old man. But I enjoyed it and if this is Pesci's swan song, what a performance to leave us with.
