Movies

Advance buzz was weak. It was simply a bad movie. If it had the same kind of early reviews as Social Network, things would be different {nm}

Now that it has delisted, what do people think went wrong with T5EST? {nm} DTravel Nov 11, 16:52

it was a dreamworks project that disney didn't believe in because they didn't think there was a large audience for the subject matter {nm} Moviesnob Nov 11, 16:55

I suspect that they were right {nm} Dales Nov 12, 03:13

Wikileaks is not even remotely as popular as Facebook ie THe Social Network. {nm} Antibody Nov 11, 17:02

absolutely zero interest; poor marketing; no star power; R rating; bad release date... {nm} RazorHawk Nov 11, 17:05

Nailed it. {nm} doitdoitdoitnow Nov 11, 17:33

I would argue that cumberbatch is on the verge of major stardom. Already in two franchise tentpoles, about to be in a third. {nm} Moviesnob Nov 11, 17:34

Depends on what kind of stardom you mean. I don't think he's got "leading man" star potential...he's too quirky and unconventionally handsom Paul2k Nov 11, 19:20

thats fair. He is the lead in a hit TV show though. {nm} Moviesnob Nov 12, 00:39

Who? {nm} Stephen Toast Nov 12, 04:14

I saw "The Social Network" because of DFINC; I saw "The Informant" because of SSODE; I saw T5EST because... no, wait, I didn't see it. second gary Nov 11, 17:18

The only person that cares about WIkileaks is Julian Assange {nm} thatpj Nov 11, 17:35

Just Guessing that you Overlooked .... The United States Government. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Nov 11, 17:45

"The only person.that cares..." The United States Government is an institution and is not considered a "person". {nm} RazorHawk Nov 11, 17:57

Once again, you are WRONG. Please see attached Dictionary - 'Person'. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Nov 11, 18:09

Did you eat a lot of paint chips when you were a kid? {nm} RazorHawk Nov 11, 18:13

Did you use lead toothpaste when you were a kid? {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Nov 11, 18:18

"I'd like to have an argument please." second gary Nov 11, 18:18

Sweet. Nice Touch. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Nov 11, 18:33

How I view pretty much ALL your posts: BSmurf Nov 11, 19:18

Unfortunately, whilst very clever, your argument doesn't hold up in context srrichardson Nov 12, 05:42

belated reply here... tealfan Nov 11, 21:39

Okay, maybe the question should be "Why was it thought that it was going to make around $30M?" DTravel Nov 12, 12:27
