Charlie's Angels" lost its wings over the weekend, earning just $8.6 million while the racing drama "Ford v Ferarri" topped the box office with a $31 million debut and the war film "Midway" came in second earning $8.75 million, according to Box Office Mojo.
Banks -- who wrote, produced, directed, and starred as Bosley in the reboot -- hinted to the Herald Sun prior to the film's release that a form of sexism from a male-dominated audience may be to blame for its current lack of financial success.
“Look, people have to buy tickets to this movie too. This movie has to make money,” Banks told the Sun. “If this movie doesn’t make money it reinforces a stereotype in Hollywood that men don’t go see women do action movies.”
The "Hunger Games" actress seemed to dismiss the box office success of "Captain Marvel," the Brie Larson-led Marvel film that earned $1.1 billion worldwide earlier this year, as well as "Wonder Woman," which grossed $821 million in 2017, because they belonged to a "male genre."

Why would men want to go to a movie which will more than likely preach at them. Give people the movies the y want to see and they will go.
She was JJ Jamensons secretary in the first 3 Spiderman movies.
The first Charlie’s Angles, Kill Bill 1 and 2, action movies starring women, were very good. The new Charlie’s Angels was made into crap by Elizabeth Banks. Men don’t go see crap.
How about the fact that Hollywood is so mediocre and incompetent it can’t come up with any good ideas, and has to make remakes of remakes.
They all look like lesbians.
Young guys are the target demographic for the Charlies Angels franchise.
So of course it makes total sense to recast the show as a modern feminist parable on bashing men
And these gals are so woke they cant figure this out?

On the movie flop, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
No “angel” can match Kate Jackson. Alhough Lucy Liu comes close.
“Why did have to be called Charlie’s Angels?”
Most of the youngens weren’t even born when the original series was out.
They could care less and won’t spend a nickel on this woke garbage.
I don’t understand her problem. I understand that her movie was basically a 2 hour public service announcement that “women don’t need no man” so I assume she wouldn’t need men for it to succeed.
We’re sexist, we’re racist, we’re capitalist and are climate change deniers.
Plead guilty to all of the above. Have zero interest in remodeling ourselves to become one with the woke crowd.
So there.
Jacyln Smith is in her 70s and still a knockout! I think it has to do with a woman’s attitude to life.
When you’re a victim, its all to due to Trump, the patriarchy or whatever.
And then some people will never be happy with life.
Salt with A. Jolie also made money.
Star Wars had a princess grab a blaster and save herself.
Terminator 2 had Sarah Conner kicking ass.
Tedious lefttards confuse lecturing SJW garbage with entertainment we will actually pay money to see. They insult their potential audience before the film is even in production. Then they act surprised when it loses a bundle of money. Whole thing is very odd.
Like Gillette making an ad insulting men.
Wby crap on your customers?
The SJW is such a religion to them it must be preached at all time to all people. Likely the bs they spun to get the job in the first place was filled with making it relevant and up to date for today and they have to stick with that.
It’s also annoying to hear how things that have to do with Nazis are relevant to leftists in “this the era orb Trump.” Because, you know, free press has been ended, political opponents are being arrested, Jews are being gassed in mass genocide. So all perfectly relevant for today.
Well, Honeybunches, I hope that every executive producer in Hollywood sees your little tweet, because your career will officially be over. You see, it's not about you and your name in the credits. It's CALLED "show BUSINESS" and the BUSINESS part of it doesn't like to knowingly invest in 'no talent', garden variety narcissists.
Not to mention a cast completely devoid of any star power. Kristen Stewart is not, never was, and certainly never will be a box office draw.
Wonder Woman seemed to do ok.
“Look, people have to buy tickets to this movie too.“
SWJ entitlement mentality.
If the movie is as bad as the trailer, it deserves to die at the box office.
unfortunately no, and i prolly won’t be able to till it’s on disk... 8^(
That’s funny you should mention her.
I had such a crush on Kate Jackson when I was around say 9-10 or so.
Man, she was good lookin’!
