Unless it's a genuinely good film (:comeon:) it will do badly. The recent games have done okay, but TR's brand/tie-in product isn't nearly strong enough to push a film like this to big money (think Marvel, Harry Potter, Hunger Games).
There hasn't been a genuinely good resident evil film ever and that franchise been making easy checks for a decade.

the old tomb raider movies are trash too and the games were worse

shyt, the asscreed movie and prince of persia flicks screwed themselves because of simply bad choices in development. all they have to do is not shoot themselves in the foot, make some easy money, and keep it moving. ironically the biggest issue with both is that they tried to do the exact same shyt that pissed off their gaming fanbases. all indications show that people like the new laura more than the old one.

you don't need to be genuinely good to make money lol. that being said, this doesn't look bad at all compared to many similar properties...

i still struggle to understand the love affair with the old laura. her movies were trash, the games were trash, and most importantly - if you want to see titties bounce, there are millions of better options so the attachment to her's in particular are just flat out weird.

I'm saying THIS franchise has to have a genuinely good film to be successful because the brand recognition isn't enough to push it. Hunger Games is shyt, but the books are popular enough (plus feminism and Jennifer Lawrence's 15 minutes lining up well) to carry it. This movie will likely be even worse.

but it doesn't lol

and hunger games is a weird comparison. one because it was selling like crazy, two because it wasn't an awful movie. for example, look at Divergent

AWFUL movie, industry pushed lead, book sales not even close, no tenured fanbase

got three movies and book sales went up :dead:

maze runner

meh-aite movie, development issues, shyt sales, no leads worth talking about, book sales aite, no tenured fanbase

gonna get a full trilogy, sequel was a huge improvement and got the budget behind it now too, book sales went up :dead:

TR... :jbhmm:

Hard to call this an early flop considering the group its aimed at, who's lead, the lack of development issues, and recent steam its been building up. Especially considering how Uncharted didn't want to make that IndianaJonesisdead money.

Ill probably check it out to see if the movies any good & she does look like reboot Lara...

That being said, she look basic as fukk so I hope her acting on point & she shines in that aspect...

Newsflash homie. There's a whole generation of kids and teens and fans in general who have no idea she was Lara Croft. Then there are those fans who don't even recognize that version of Lara she played because the new games changed it up for the better. Plus they're much much much better games
