Out.

It's being produced by Haim Saban, the original US series creator, and directed by Dean Isrealite who directed the underrated time travel movie Project Almanac. I think this one's going to surprise. $80m domestic and a sequel greenlighted on the strength of the WW total.

This club is sooooo not happening. The trailer just released was decent enough for at least 50 million. This is not Gods of Egypt.

The teaser is decent, but nothing that indicates it will breakout. I think sub $50M is a bit too low, although I doubt it goes past $100M. For some reason I see this doing Pacific Rim numbers at best.

Given the show's huge success for years, I've always found it curious how little the 90s films made.

What did TMNT, Rugrats, and Pokemon have (as lucrative theatrical releases) that Power Rangers didn't?

Well, some people think that since it's Lionsgate, it will look like shit and be shit.


He's not wondering why the current one doesn't have going for it, he's asking why the old films didn't do much in their time, when the franchise arguably was relevant back in its day. It's okay, I'm pretty sure all of that was well before you first pooped your diapers.

Personally I think because old movies always looked like the regular supersized episodes. The effects weren't better, the story was the same basic template that every episode uses. Nothing new to bring people to theaters to see it.

I actually think this one could do good. It's definitely a more serious take on the Power Rangers. I'm actually slightly looking forward to it.

The teaser confirmed my expectations. It does look much better than the trashy "good when I was a kid, but I wouldn't want to see it now" TV/old movies effects. So it could pull the audience to the theaters.

March is looking super-crowded, and I myself think the movie looks kind of cheap, but a looooot of my regular pleb friends eagerly posted the trailer this morning, and all of them seem genuinely excited for this. This is honestly more likely to make over $50 million in its opening weekend than less than $50 million in its entire run.

It has a no-name cast, I really don't think it will be good, like sub 30% on rotten, can't see it opening at more than $20m.

It's more likely to do 50 million opening weekend than under 50 million total.

Let's make it even. This is making over $50m easily.

It looks crap but LG's record with teen flicks is still good. I don't see it crossing $100m but $50m-$60m total is where I am at right now.

I'm OUT. Would have joined the former club though.

Tough call. If it stays in its current spot, yes. If there are some more shakeups and it winds up in the summer I think it would probably get to $60m.

That is true, but it won't be verified until next April.

The trailer for this has 20 million views on youtube, and a second version has 13 million views. More than any Fantastic Beasts trailer, and that opened to 75 million.

How is there anyone in this fucking club?

I just watched the trailer again and it looks every bit like Fantastic Four, which made $56mil. There's just no way that this does better, worse opening and no better legs is not going to get this over $50mil.

Thing is, they haven't showed anything post-change in the marketing. When they do, this may break out. Though I'm betting on it looking shit.

Nostalgia for what? The original Power Rangers movie made peanuts.
