And what were the movies that failed at the box office? Sequels, remakes and reboots that no one was asking for

Posted by: RogerMore on Dec 26, 15:46 in response to CSBD's post Disney Summer & Fall 2019: Toy Story 4, Lion King,...

Here's an incomplete list of box office disappointments for commercial movies:

Dumbo - live action remake no one wanted

Maleficent 2 - sequel no one wanted

Godzilla 2 - sequel to a bad movie no one asked for

Alita - unknown IP

Men in Black 4 - reboot with new cast no one asked for

X-Men 6 - sequel with new cast that remade a plotline from another X-men movie, which everyone knew was bad

Terminator 6 - its been how long since a good Terminator movie?

Gemini Man - at least it was original

Dr Sleep - continuation of a 40 year old movie

Hellboy - was anyone crying out for this?

Shaft - or this?

Charlie's Angels 3 - or this?

Ā 

Also, 2018's box office was pretty special. 3 movies with a domestic gross of over $600M, when there were zero in 2017 and 2016. 2019 looks less like a massove drop and more like reversion to the mena.

W: STAR9 $32 million, LTLWM $6.4 million, UNCUT $5.8 million, PIGEN $4.8 million Antibody Dec 26, 08:29

Right now overall Box office (per Comscore) is down 3.6 percent from last year.. Biggest drop in years. But sure: VictorY Dec 26, 09:16

There is no making any sense...logic...or pointing out actual numbers and statistics with folks like this. I am interested if '19 beats '17. Catzan Dec 26, 16:39

Agreed that Victor is interested in a narrative that only supports white male supremacy. But do you mean 2016? 2019 is well ahead of 2017 Moviesnob Dec 26, 17:42

Very true."the death of cinema" articles next year will be at Chicken Little level {nm} jamesbik333 Dec 27, 06:02

CM triggers VictorY. At one point CM was the cause for the box office being down 10%+ in the spring according to VictorY. jamesbik333 Dec 26, 12:10
