So Kick-Ass 2 flopped heavy (and the Butler cruised to 1st place) this weekend.

Yeah, shyt's ridiculous.

In another thread about big budget blockbusters, someone brought up how growing up, you'd have maybe 3-4 blockbusters. One Memorial Day, the 4th, and maybe on in between or closer to August. And maybe you'd have some surprise hits.

But now, it's way too many. You can't have 15-20 big budget movies in a year and not have some flop horribly.

2015 will be a fukking bloodbath.

Too many fukkin sequels. I find the complete lack of effort in terms of creating something original insulting.

It's great to see the majority of the Summer Blockbusters flopped:pachaha:

While, Pitts doomed World War Z (the only film I supported) did 500mil around the globe:blessed:

And, I still don't plan on seeing The Butler:troll:

Too many big budget summer blockbusters that all basically follow the same story beats. I actually liked the first Kick Ass film but I have no desire to see another one. Most the big budget films this year have been underwhelming to one degree or another. As critical as I was about Iron Man 3 that actually turned out ot be the best of the bunch and it at least had the balls to take some risks and mess with the formula a bit. Everything else this summer has been paint by numbers shyt and/or incredibly flawed.

I gotta give Marvel credit though for having the sense NOT to release Thor 2 during the summer. Because it's not dropping till fall it's probably gonna do numbers and not have much competition.
erm so iron man 3 was better than wolverine now? :why: and how exactly did they have the "balls" to take some risks and mess with the formula? featuring tony stark (as opposed to ironman) was purely vanity on rdj part.The mandarin stuff not only saved money but roped a lot of fanboys to wattch.
