Re: Baywatch 60m+ OW (4-day) Club
If The Rock wasn't in it, the preview number would probably be like $300K

Re: Baywatch 60m+ OW (4-day) Club

Re: Baywatch 60m+ OW (4-day) Club
The Rock can only help dying franchises. He cannot start his own.

Re: Baywatch 60m+ OW (4-day) Club
Yea in retrospect the Baywatch brand isn't much to write home about. I'm 27 and I feel like I barely remember the end of Baywatch and boobs bouncing on the beach in red swimsuit being a relevant part of pop culture. If you're 18-22 which this is the type of comedy for I think it's too far gone. Not to mention even for the people that remember it wasn't all that to them anyways. If the movie was called Lifeguards it probably would've done just as good

Re: Baywatch 60m+ OW (4-day) Club
The main attraction to the show/movie for many guys can be had on the Internet for free. Ok Google, find me headlights.

Re: Baywatch 60m+ OW (4-day) Club
A five-day opening north of $30m is not even a guarantee. A total under $60m is a real possibility.

Re: Baywatch 60m+ OW (4-day) Club
Magnus could change this to total and still it could fail :-)

Re: Baywatch 60m+ OW (4-day) Club
Baywatch could have been a solid, well-reviewed film. The TV show had its share of episodes with good storylines, conflicts, and plausible real-world scenarios. They just went the sophomoric route and figured The Rock was a lock.

Re: Baywatch 60m+ OW (4-day) Club
I feel like there is also a disconnect between what people loved about the original series and this new film. The marketing has consistently stressed abs and pecs of Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron. But the original series was obviously popular with men because of the women. Ok, this film has some girls, but I don't see the marketing putting them front and centre. It's all Dwayne and Zac. Which means that it becomes a film targeting mainly women, and it's the wrong time to target women with male imagery. Apart from that, the obvious comedy aspect is probably turning people off.

Yes Zac's movies are making enough domestically for him to get work, but he needs to fire his agent yesterday.
