Overall weekend totals plunge 60% from last year as the absence of a “Dune: Part Two”-level hit is felt

It’s barely afternoon on Saturday as I read this - I don’t get how they can decide it bombed already. Feels like someone’s trying to make it bomb.
They release these on Saturday or early Sunday pretty frequently, projected from presales, previews, and Friday #s. They can be a little off but they’re usually pretty close.
LOL this is no Dune: Part Two blockbuster. Stop pretending that its supposed to be one.
Ruffalo does a solid, loathsome Trump.
I thought every actor was great and the story is solid. It’s just too long.
yeah I wish the satire could have been more witty and less bludgeony
It makes fun of all the Space obsessed billionaires, so I bet they have been making sure it bombs
This is pretty much exactly where I would exact an arty, anticapitalist lark of a movie to land. Anyone thinking this would do much more than $40m globally this weekend was probably fooling themselves.
I thought this was a direct to video/streaming release.
Now that I know it’s in theaters, I’m gonna go watch it.
To be honest, I didn’t find it very good. I don’t know about the books, but the movie makes it seem like there’s something interesting about the expendables, and ends up being about something completely different, much more boring and overdone. Characters are also basically useless.
It’s a fairly horrible movie.
The brain scan and brain upload mechanic doesn’t account for perfect recall of deaths (no ability to brain scan after death), the mickeys should only have memories up to their last brain scan, so no mickey should have any memories of death.
It’s like one really long SNL skit, over the top political commentary with a very minor scifi flavor.
I was wondering how they were planning on doing the “memory after death” as that seemed like a major thing that would need to be accounted for that I was hoping would have some cool explanation.
Oh well. Not a big fan of Pattinson anyways. Thanks for the honest review! :)
