 Re: Early Friday #s Its also worth noting that these movies can still find an audience when they're made well. if MEN IN BLACK INTERNATIONAL was sitting with a 95% on RT, it would find an audience at some point.
Films that nobody was asking for that ended up doing well in recent years:
-jurassic world (ok some people wanted this one)
-Jumanji 2
-Mad max 4
-A Star is Born remake
-Oceans 8
-Bumble bee
-It remake
-murder of orient express remake
-Creed 1 and 2
-tarzan
-magnificent seven remake
Films no-one wanted that also sucked
-childs play remake (soon)
-Independence Day 2 (well some people wanted this but it still sucked)
-Men in black international
-godzilla 2
-remake of x-men: the last stand
-hellboy 3
-tomb raider remake
-overboard remake
-my big fat wedding 2
-terminator genesis
-ted 2
-the huntsman 2
-zoolander 2
-another Robin Hood movie
-another King Arthur movie
-power rangers
-the mummy remake
-alien 6
-the predator

Re: Early Friday #s I can see the Paramount and Sony film divisions getting sold to an equity firm, bank, or to the Chinese within 5 years.

Re: Early Friday #s We could have had MIB v 21 Jump Street - now that's a hit.

Re: Early Friday #s In most cases, I don't think the problem is with the brand. Sequels/remakes etc. that seem highly unneeded, can make huge money, when the marketing is right.
And that's really the main thing here. Films with strong marketing tend to open big and have a big final gross. Films with weak marketing tend to flop.
Sure, it's not the only factor that matters. But along with story concept, I think it makes the biggest difference.

Re: Early Friday #s Seriously, if Smith was back it would have done 55+ again. Marketing was extremely weak this time around, and the story was extremely meh.

Re: Early Friday #s I was kind of glad to not see the Jump Street series tarnished.

Re: Early Friday #s Yeah I'd rather see a "regular" 23 Jump Street or whatever than the hybrid
