kingsmen was a action packed movie
with a budget of 81 mill

plus not only was it promoted well in the us, the movie is basically a uk movie, filmed there and starring a bunch of english actors

and fifty shades of grey has booksand is popular

I sitll have no idea what focus is about from teh trailer I saw looks like a oceans 11/italian job type ish but with two people

the movie had a 50 million budget and has alreadly mde 30 mill, it will make over 100 mill worldwide adn will have strong dvd sales

:camby:


johnny depp transcedence 100 million budget only made 103 mill world wide pathetic

Breh you realize when articles like this are written, it's from an american perspective right? No diss to any other part of the country at all but the reason Depp and Will both get this kinda analysis when something like this happened (and johnny has gotten it a lot) is because their american receipts aren't what they used to be even if they're still big international stars.

Budget $130 million[2][3]

Nah thats not good enough for Will breh, Will gotta break records everytime

Its cool when Brad Pitt drops Fury and only does 13 million in its 2nd week though

Or when Chris Hemsworth kicks the year off with a complete dud even though he's the new GQ golden boy.

Fury got leaked before it came out.

Everything goes in cycles breh. there will be something else to come along. Hollywood always goes through periods of things. And Will couldn't get it because, at least to me, the movie didn't look that interesting. You gotta put people in stuff people want to see because I don't need to pay to see Will anymore; I can see Will whenever I want. If I'm going to spend good money to see him in something, it better be in something that looks interesting
Well I hope so, because 2014 avengers aside was not the best year imo, 2015 looks to be the same.

Nah man I think 2014 was a great year for movies. I can't speak for box office but as far as movies it was a great year in my opinion
Strictly box office. Quality can be debated. It was a little light in the last 12 months.

Oh ok. Gotta make movies people really wanna see man lol. It ain't about star power. It's about movies. I will always argue that and I've always believed that. But also to be fair, times are changing. Technology, streaming, illegal life, etc. I'm sure the big movies will always be big like the avengers and Star Wars but those are event movies. Other than that everything is a toss up.
