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.

Did you see the letters “S-E-X” in her curls?
FvF will be number one this weekend, with Midway holding on to number 2.
‘Ford v Ferrari’ Jumps To $30M As ‘Charlie’s Angels’ Is Kicked Out Of Heaven With $8M+ Start
“Look, the ONLY reason people even watched the original 70s version was Farrah Fawcett. “
I have recently watched a couple of episodes on TV and some of the late 70’s Fords put many of today cars to shame. I wouldn’t have forecasted that in the 70’s.
I did not know that. But it's almost required in the entertainment community these days I guess.
“Elizabeth Banks-directed-written and produced”
Total Trump hater.
What a shame for her. *smirk*
You either suck p or you do not suck p, there is no in-between.
I never noticed... I was kinda fixated on that one nipple practically poking through the poster....
To paraphrase Andrew Dice Clay... LOL.
Reboot #1 was campy. Reboot #2 was #MeToo woke.
Of course, every woman I dated in college was bisexual, because when I asked for sex, they said “Bye!”
“Are we supposed to know who Elizabeth Banks is?”
She’s a second or third rate actress who has been in a whole bunch of second or third rate movies.
Not bad to look at, but needs a little help in the ...... department.
Ba Da Boom!
I'm a lesbian myself. Just trapped in a man's body!
Did you hear about the lesbian couple who had a new home custom-designed for them? No studs in the walls. It's alll tongue-in-groove.
Try the veal!
She's moving onto producing and directing. This clunker will probably slow that. But I will say she came by the base on a USO Tour back in 2015 and was very nice.
The baby killer should go abort herself.
What in the...?
How did we go from three pretty, graceful, and mature women, to three people that look like regular bathing isnt even part of their life plans, and that they aren’t at all familiar with a 40-hour work week?
And not even knowing this movie existed until now, I’ll just guess that the one on the left, and likely one other, are one of “the Letter People”.
I met Farrah Fawcett and Lee Majors.
I was working at Radio Shack in Fort Lauderdale. They both came in wearing sunglasses at about 7:00pm. He needed some cables. She came in and walked straight to the stereos. She cooed “Love this song!” cranked it up and started dancing. He looked at me, raised his eyebrow and gave a little shake of his head.
Never going to forget it.
Wasn’t Arnold’s housekeeper Mexican? True in real life.
