AimingforYoko March 6, 2016 Share March 6, 2016 This might be it for Gerard Butler, for whom it's been pretty much downhill since 300. But the movie justified its existence because from it came one of the best (bad) reviews ever. Or at least since Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.

Rick Kitchen March 6, 2016 Share March 6, 2016 imdb has Butler listed for five more films either filming, in post production, or in pre production. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39827-london-has-fallen-2016/#findComment-2025643
AimingforYoko March 6, 2016 Author Share March 6, 2016 Oh, I didn't mean that he'd never work again. He's just not a top tier leading man anymore. Low-Budget VOD movies are how I see his future. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39827-london-has-fallen-2016/#findComment-2025706
methodwriter85 March 6, 2016 Share March 6, 2016 They really upped the violence in this. I think Gerard was acting out his Taken fantasy. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39827-london-has-fallen-2016/#findComment-2025775
Chaos Theory March 6, 2016 Share March 6, 2016 Why was this movie even made? Didn't the first one tank or was it so incredibly awful that I just hoped it did? Was it cheaply made or something and the studios are looking for an action movie series? Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39827-london-has-fallen-2016/#findComment-2026360
nobodyyoucare March 6, 2016 Share March 6, 2016 160 million box office against 70 million production budget. Add in dvd/bluray streaming tv rights it more then made money in a year. So far it maybe that this film will not make back its production budget. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39827-london-has-fallen-2016/#findComment-2026459
Ohwell March 6, 2016 Share March 6, 2016 Maybe Gerard Butler is hoping for Liam Neeson-type movies. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39827-london-has-fallen-2016/#findComment-2026502
methodwriter85 March 7, 2016 Share March 7, 2016 (edited) Maybe Gerard Butler is hoping for Liam Neeson-type movies. I just feel like the tone of this was very different from the first movie- I don't remember the fight/kill scenes being nearly as gratuitous or Liam Neeson-like. It seemed to rely more on the tension of the hostage situation. The budget here was 60 million, so it might at least make back its budget, at least by the time you get to do overseas box.

Bruinsfan March 8, 2016 Share March 8, 2016 This movie might not sink Butler's star power by itself, but it's part of a one-two punch with Gods of Egypt being released a week earlier and belly flopping so hard there's no water left in the pool. I think he may have just Taylor Kitsched himself out of a career. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39827-london-has-fallen-2016/#findComment-2034447
Constantinople August 3, 2016 Share August 3, 2016 I'm still not sure how the plot to assassinate the President failed given that about 99.999% of the British security services were part of the plot for no discenable reason. In any case, that's why you send the Vice-President to state funerals. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39827-london-has-fallen-2016/#findComment-2455950
