Even had her poster on my bedroom wall.

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.

When Hollywood makes a movie these days then the whole point of the movie is to push their agenda.
No Thanks.
Thanks.
I’ve heard of the Pitch Perfect movies.
Saw ads for a TV series based in them or related.
This industry is ripe for replacement, even more so than 1970’s American Auto Companies.
I still prefer Angel’s Revenge.
Ford v Ferrari
No "wokeness". No SJW nonsense. No token pandering. Just real men being real men driving really fast cars in the mid 1960s. Real men who love their sons and are married to loyal wives who support them.
Yes, it features Matt Damon playing Carroll Shelby but if you can get past that, it's a great film, the way Hollywood used to make them.
She plAyed alec Baldwin’s wife in 30 rock. She does realtor commercials on tv.
‘Shine,shine,shine your love’
Maybe Hollywood needs Harvey to go back to pre screening the talent...Too soon?
Too many of the remakes are just mimics of the original — similar script, similar plots, similar catch-phrases and spoken lines, etc. The same with series movies.
Where they cannot come up with new originality, they gloss over with supposed-to-impress computer generated graphics.
If anything shows a modicum of success, the industry floods us with mimics and rehashes.
Looks like Ford vs. Ferrari (just opened) will do well. I’m sure A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood will do great.
A dyke and two brownies.
LOL! I can hear it! :-D
Never heard of it but in my research of it, came up with a intriguing episode of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 I might try...
Thanks for the head’s up on that. I automatically assume with any new movie political correctness is first and foremost and a good story is an accidental byproduct. Glad this is still not always the case, I’ll probably see it.

Two words: Kristen Stewart.
Can’t act. Dumb as a bag of hammers.
From IMDB comments: “So instead of a cop, a con man and a rich genius of the 1980s hit, they have a lesbian, a Muslim and a minority.”
Oooooof course. Rolling eyes.
I remember her well... :)
Didn’t even know they were making a Charlie’s angels reboot.
Seems like th studio knew this was a bomb and didn’t spend a dollar on marketing
