That's a perfect example of a really talented artist whose skills and time have been completely wasted. But he was probably paid a shitton of money by the studio so good for him.

Also this movie will both be really bad and make a ton of money. And then be forgotten in a year.

10 years ago everyone loved Will Smith. Then he made a bunch if lovely decisions, a lot of them related to trying to launch Jaden's career, and now he's essentially box office poison.

they might fail to live up to expectations, but rarely end in the red for producers. Even Waterworld was ultimately a financial success. I think Pluto Nash might be one of the last real bombs (well maybe John Carter was too but Disney is a whole nother thing with marketing and merchandising)

I've heard that's ultimately what got him killed off prior to the events of the Independence Day sequel, trying to make his kid IRL his kid in the movie and I guess Emerich or whoever just wasn't having it.

If the movie never came out for some reason they could just play it off as a gender bent ghost busters and pretend to be progressive.

Recouping your budget isn't enough to be considered a success. You have to beat the average return and/or exceed expectations to be a success. Otherwise if you can't beat the opportunity cost of making the movie then you're still considered a failure even if you didn't actively lose money

This is hilarious, since he already tried to give his kid a summer blockbuster in After Earth, and we know how that turned out. ID4: 2 probably would have paid him a shot load of money to be in that movie.

It also helps that movies are making a lot of money internationally, especially tent-pole movies, so movies can be financially viable even if it does not make as much in the US. Example, The transformers series has been declining financially since the second one, but the international numbers make up for it, especially China.

Imagine for a moment if you will that Harley Quinn wasn't a character in this movie, just the rest of the ensemble. Completely excised from the movie and all trailers.

Yeah.

Makes you realise how much the movie is banking on the sex appeal of one attractive woman to save it because everything else in those trailers is utterly forgettable.

It seems pretty clueless on what sort of tone to have for the movie and costumes are pretty bad.

He asked for 40 million and the produces were all like "Heh, do you think you're Will Smith from twenty years ago?" and then decided to kill him off rather than make a counter offer.

I actually liked After Earth and I think the hate for it was overblown. However the worst part was absolutely Jaden. Kid just can't act worth a poo poo.

Suicide Squad seems like a prime candidate to be in constant rotation on FX DVD on TV or whatever the equivalent of that is in 2016. Or at least replace the previous Fantastic Four's rotation in daytime cable TV runs.

I remember when BSS finally closed the CAD thread not because CAD just became passable instead of terrible, but because goons started saying Tim Buckley and his wife was abusing their dog out of nowhere.

Ryan Reynolds not only starred in Deadpool but he also produced it so god knows how much money he's raking in from that crazy rollercoaster. It made almost as much money as Iron Man 3 but cost about $150 million less to make.

Deadpool is the highest grossing superhero movie ever.

Also 2nd highest grossing R rated movie ever. Second only to Passion of the christ.

They can't "just" do that because doing that entails risk and lord forbid they risk even one loving penny, one goddamn cent with a competent writer, director and crew when they can just nickel and dime with total hacks and crank some safe, tepid bullshit out.

But if rich actors want to put their own money up then that's all fine.
