In the wake of Terminator: Dark Fate’s failure at the B.O., and Paramount’s recent decision to make Beverly Cops 4 for Netflix, we have the further breakdown of cinema IP in Sony’s Charlie’s Angels reboot, which is tanking with a God-awful $8.2M opening, 3 Stars on Screen Engine-Comscore’s PostTrak, and a B+ Cinemascore.
The Elizabeth Banks-directed-written and produced pic is also opening in 27 offshore markets, China being one where it’s also bombing, with a $6M two-day take in second place behind local title Somewhere Winter ($8.8M). All of this is primed to further spur a WTF reaction and anxiety among film development executives in town in regards to what the hell exactly works in this have-and-have-not era of the theatrical marketplace. Many will make the hasty generalization that old, dusty IP doesn’t work, or is now deemed too risky when it’s not a superhero project. However, moviemaking is an art, not a science, and annoying as it might sound, good movies float to the top, and this Charlie’s Angels reboot didn’t have the goods going back to its script.

Dunno who the new trio are. Looks like wormy teenagers...
Teenagers, not college age+ WOMEN!
Teenagers..... (sigh)

LOL. Describes them perfectly.
And, yes, Cheryl Ladd was one hell of a replacement. Don’t know how they managed to do that.
Yeah, now I know who one of the new “angels” are.
Steward, the moody, hetro then lesbian or is she now bi sexual?(Licks finger to see which way the wind is blowing)
Whichever, she’s as talented as a brick.
Cheryl Ladd was terrific replacement for Farrah.
And a conservative to boot!
Yep ;)
Reading from the wiki page, I’ll think I’ll pass. Thank you!
As do millions of other heterosexual boys and young men at the time...
Good times....
When I watch movies now it is most often subtitled Asian movies because girls like boys and boys like girls.
I’m pretty sure that they make the crap we see over there too, but it doesn’t seem to get subtitled often.
5th franchise proving “go woke go broke”.
Terminator
Ghostbusters
Godzilla
Men in Black
X-Men
Social justice is in the process of killing Star Wars.
When it comes to TV, the black remake of “Charmed” has failed, and they’re killing Doctor Who.
“Elizabeth Banks is a babe.”
Since when? She’s an underdeveloped little girl.
The MST3K or newer version with two female commentators on Rifftracks helps ease the ultra camp factor.
Close to porn ? Whut ?
The middle one is not guilty. Kristen Stewart is looking like Lenny from “Laverne and Shirley.”
Oh, yeah... Get woke, go broke.
Her best role was as the drunk nitwit in the bathtub in “The 40-Year Old Virgin.”
I won’t spend one dime to see liberal-remake trash.
Besides, I wasn’t crazy about the original show either.
It was the “Baywatch” of the 70s. Everyone had that poster of FF’s nip, the only reason they watched the show was to see if they could see more. Porn.
A teeny bit of nip is porn ? Who knew ?
