I mean I ain't see the original so I didn't give a shyt about seeing this one either.
Did you see it?
Do you get the sense that the all female cast backfired on them?

didn't see it....

but from the previews it had nothing to do with being female... it didn't look funny at all... that's what ruined it for me or else i would have given it a chance

Nah Breh.

Theatres domestically take approximately half.

Worldwide it ranges anywhere from 75-50%

Films typically have to make at least 2x times the budget to break even.

Movie still has to open in a few places but yeah at best this shyt is going to break even and maybe make a small profit on Blu Ray.

Even thats in doubt.

Of course none of us know for sure except the studio but the rule of thumb has always been 2x times the budget :yeshrug:

it flopped. it is toxic with all the "troll" activity. The director is a bytch. The movie is fukkin terrible, and it doesn't deserve a sequel it will inevitably get.

I think it's funny all of the people saying it's terrible when the general crowd reactions coming out were positive. I honestly feel like people who "hated" haven't even seen it.
