I don't think anyone needs to make any new movies at all. I just checked and there are a lot of movies already about all sorts of things in all kinds of languages. More movies than any one person could watch in 3 lifetimes.

The falloff has been 50% each week, which is pretty typical. It doesn't really matter how many week it shows for since it'll just approach double the first week's take.

The US take this week was 9 million. poo poo's even worse internationally and Sony doesn't even see all that money. No play in China, the game tie-in bankrupted the developer, and the merch is already on clearance despite "exceedingly (abnormally low) expectations."

I guess home video and streaming are going to be INSANE is what you're thinking?

These days, you can hire people to do those reviews quite cheaply. Just tell them to give it the right rating and they'll get their money.

I love that we live in an era where it's more important to game the system than to put out a good product and get good reviews organically.

You can pay google to remove 1 star reviews of your business, or pay a company to flood your yelp page with 5 star reviews. "Don't treat customers like assholes" is like #9 on the list of things to do.

every week it's been out the return has decreased substantially. also, nobody is talking about it anymore. what little novelty it had has worn off

Sony spent an additional $100 million on marketing on top of the $144 million budget while feig used his pulpit to belittle people who didn't want to see it, so they're both big fat failures

Cause Feig built a career using her in movies and much like Adam Sandler wants to get his friends payed.

I would have gone with Jillian Bell (Workaholics & 22 Jump Street) instead of the older McCarthy.

Wait, 14 million? I thought numbers like that were reserved for actual A-list celebrities. And it's gotta burn her co-stars, considering GB is an ensemble movie and you just know their paychecks were quite a bit slimmer...
