Two Hollywood Flops in One Weekend at the Box Office

It’s not very often that Hollywood unleashes two major theatrical bombs over the same weekend. But that’s what happened when “Jupiter Ascending” and “Seventh Son” both crashed and burned in U.S. theaters on Friday.

Warner Bros.’ “Jupiter Ascending,” starring Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis, is quickly dropping in estimates to a thin $18 million weekend at the box office. With a budget north of $175 million, the Wachowskis sci-fi fantasy tentpole could lose tens of millions barring a dramatic turnaround overseas.

4 years from now, Annie will be a 9 year old trannie. It bombed due to pc crap and every exec here in Hollywood knew it. We even joked that a white Annie looking for cyborgs would have made money.

“Channing Tatum. Channing Tatum. CHANNING Tatum. Channing TATUM. “

Sucked in most movies except for the The Eagle and Jump Street. I recommend The Eagle.

re: The Eagle

Thanks for the tip, and no offense. I give a movie 10 minutes and if I don't care anything about anyone or anything, its dead. Gladiator era flix aren't my bag.

Here's the closest I care about them:

Joey, you like movies about gladiators?

age brings a better perspective. I learned to love Die Hard in my late 30s...dismissed it when it first came out.

While I can't attest to his acting skills as I've seen not one single picture of his, he does seem like a decent person.

Jupiter Ascending was filmed in part in the next town over, and the Mrs. took the 7 year old and the 14 year old to watch the shooting. After they were done for the day the stars spent an inordinate amount of time mingling with the spectators. Tatum spent a good while talking to my kids and taking pictures.

Still not gonna see the movie. I'm sure they will, though.

Those and all the “slow, thoughtful movies, with little dialogue, ambiguous endings, with beautiful cinematography” like “the sound of my voice”, etc.
