Reed Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I think they've waited too long with Sin City. I can see Hercules being a massive flop. Maybe I'm really under-estimating Rock's drawing power, but the trailer looked abysmal. It seems like the movie is just an excuse for Rock to show off his freakish-looking muscles. They could get in some of of the 300 crowd, but I just don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossWB Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I really have no feel for JUPITER ASCENDING or GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, either in terms of box office or RT. The conventional wisdom (and my own hunch) is that JA will bomb on both lists, but some dumb part of me just isn't quite sure about that... As a Marvel movie, GOTG should be an easy smash, but it looks so odd and so unlike the other Marvel movies, I just don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 They spent $150 million on Jupiter Ascending. We have our R.I.P.D. entry for this year. I fear the possibility of Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis interacting for prolonged periods may very well create an anti-charisma black hole that will tear the very fabric of time and space apart.

S.K.o.S. Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Why's there no Tammy? Honest reason is that I looked up the info on it one time, and from then on I got it into my head that it starred Rebel Wilson and therefore never gave it serious consideration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Guardians of the Galaxy looks more interesting and unique than your average Marvel flick. Which probably means it will flop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimo The Great Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I asked about Tammy for the above "it's not against anything" also due to Melissa McCarthy's last starring films grossing $134m and $159m (not to mention Bridesmaids $169m) plus not a lot out there for Da Chicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
