I blame Morgan Freeman's wig.

So. I think Star Trek is done, at least in this iteration. 231 global, against a 185m budget? Geez. Kind of a shame- I actually really liked it.

I feel like Anton Yelchin's unexpected and untimely death cast a general pall over this one.

I wouldn't be surprised. 'Bad Moms' over-performed by a long shot.

Yeah, it's sad that when they finally got more or less everything right, the audiences just weren't there. Why couldn't it have been the initial reboot or Star Trek into Whitewashing that flopped?

Or that Hollywood looked at the director behind Wanted and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and thought, yep, he's the one to do a fresh take on a renowned classic!

[methodwriter85]

Oh my god, you KNOW Seth Rogen and Judd Appatow would sprout a major boner at the thought of writing Bad Dads.

[dusang]

Well there's already been Bad Grandpa and Dirty Grandpa so...

[King of Birds]

Wasn't Daddy's Home with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg essentially "Bad Dads"??

[raezen]

Considering how guys are usually portrayed in an Apatow film couldn't his 'Bad Dads' just be 'Dads'?

Why did a studio think it was a good idea to resurrect The Mechanic? I checked Jason Statham's Box Office Mojo page and he's only had one movie starring him (so no Expendables) that made over 40 million.

I liked the original Transporter, but that's pretty much the only character he can do.

Statham's international grosses are good for his starring roles, though not spectacular. I guess his movies do well with TV rights and DVD/VOD, to make sequels worth it. Back before the Blockbuster stores went under, you'd always go there and see yet another direct-to-video American Pie sequel with Eugene Levy surrounded by random no-names. Those probably cost a lot less than $40 million, though.

I also liked him in The Bank Job which is similar to the latter two movies, but more dramatic. I was not surprised Statham did well in Spy. He has gruff resting face and a lot of his roles are dour (loved The Transporter original, disliked The Mechanic), but he came off well in the Richie films. Admittedly, he was the straight guy, but there's usually an element of wryness to Ritchie's films. Statham usually comes off genial and engaging in his interviews and PR stuff as well. For an action star, he could be a lot worse in his acting range.

He was very good in The Bank Job, and the character was different for him.  Not light years different, but not Frank from The Transporter either.   And he was hysterically in Spy, playing pretty much a parody of the bulk of his oeuvre.  I'd love to see him do more comedy.

So I guess Suicide Squad is a success? Who's still going to see this movie? I haven't seen it, but I've heard that it's bad. 

[Bruinsfan]

It's just barely behind Guardians of the Galaxy with a similar budget, and isn't out of theaters yet, so I guess so. It's also on the verge of catching up to Batman v. Superman's domestic gross, and it cost about $75 million less to make than that trainwreck.

I would think not. The novelty of the first one was that we weren't sure if it were real or not. But now that we know... isn't it just another horror movie whose footage looks like it was filmed on an iphone?

Speaking of Morgan Freeman's wig, whatever happened to Ben Hur?  It must have tanked pretty badly. 

[proserpina65]

So I can guess we can agree that Snowden is a bomb.  I read some article about why, partly blaming it on people not knowing who he is.  No, people know who he is, alright, but a lot of them think he's a traitor and that wouldn't have made a movie about him a good bet.

Based on John Oliver's field piece on Snowden, I think people don't know who Snowden is.

Well, I was basing my comment on people commenting on articles about him, so that probably skewed it a bit.  So I guess a better way of putting it would've been "a lot of the people who do know who Edward Snowden is think he's a traitor and wouldn't be inclined to go see a movie about him".

[JessePinkman]

I think most people just don't care. Like that Julian Assange movie it was made for a niche audience so it got a niche return. Just my take on it.

[kiddo82]

Case in point:. There was a Julian Assange movie?

The Fifth Estate, starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Like with most adult dramas, there were Oscar hopes to start, quickly dashed after hitting the film festival circuit.  It only made $3,255,008 at the domestic box office, not its opening weekend but the grand total. Snowden is practically Star Wars in comparison!

Ha! When I scrolled up and saw the box office numbers for Snowden, I burst out laughing. 

[methodwriter85]

When was the last time Oliver Stone had a hit movie? I feel like it's been a long time.

[raezen]

It's hard to get over a bomb like Alexander . I certainly haven't. I wanted that movieto be good!

[JustaPerson]

The Fifth Estate was not one of Benedict Cumberbatch's more successful technology thriller/biopics lol

[kiddo82]

Not that it would do any better at the box office but I'd be much more willing to see a Snowden documentary than a dramatization.  It's such a complex story/topic that it think it requires a more objective treatment than one filmmaker's POV.

There was one in 2014, Citizenfour, and it won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature. Man on Wire also won that award for 2008 and was dramatized in The Walk, which also wasn't much of a box office success. If you're turning an award winning documentary into a dramatic movie, maybe don't cast Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

I freakin' hate corporate welfare. The project produce work for a couple of hundred Louisianans for a couple of months?

The state would have been better off taking that thirty seven million and giving 37,000 people a thousand bucks each.
