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 doesnt make money it reinforces a stereotype in Hollywood that men dont 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."

There’s only so much time and money for movies, so when I go, I see the ones that are interesting to me. I am not stuck in any particular genre. Make something worth my time and money and that looks interesting, and I’ll think about seeing it.
Hah!
My apologies, please allow me to give you this ice cold, delicious and potent Abita Andygator.
Any failure of woman is clearly the fault of men. Clearly.
How about a terminator vs Charlie’s Angels?
How about its because I heard it was a crappy movie with stars I dont like?
And I am sick of seeing women fight with roundhouse leg kicks.
Thanks lol :D
No cameltoe for Elizabeth.
So, that means she’s bossing the others around. Bet that goes over real well. because you know how swell women like working with, but especially FOR, other women.
Of course.
Objectively I ask everyone here for an honest answer.
When has any male director criticized the lack of women going to a movie that has four male charscters as the lead actors? And effectively blamed the lack of success of said movie on the fact women weren’t buying tickets?
I cannot recall one time, ever.
Well they all can’t be full trout pout. Its supposed to be a professional movie, not a selfie with friends.
i think i see the problem...
listen you stooopid frunt you people don't have to do ANYTHING they don't want to when it comes to spending their own money let alone spending it on some man hating dyke fest!
Typical socialist - blame the voters for the failures of their politicians...
Typical religious con artist - blame the follower for the failure of ‘prosperity’ or ‘healing’ to not come about...
they are all libtard liars, just different flavors.
Fact is, this movie should have either been straight to Red Box, Lifetime, or the bargain bin at your grocery store.
Jackie Chan’s Hong Kong films of the late 80s and 1990s (up to 1997) had female co-stars in action roles landing kicks and taking hits (sometimes even suffering accidents on the set doing stunts similar to those Jackie was doing and getting injured doing):

This isn’t that crap New Line Cinema trimmed down, rescored, and redubbed.
Action films mean action on the screen

The original editions of Jet Li’s movie’s kicked ass too.
But the stakes were raised to high. American films haven’t had dangerous stunts in a very long time. And even with ropes and things they’d rather just do quick edits and stunt doubles and now drop frame and cgi.
She’s uses a fake voice to sound like a man.
I’m waiting for the release of Force Fox Five.
Virtue signaling airhead SJW 'actresses' chattering like teenage girls between green screen & CGI action shots with no plot is the problem, not the customers refusing to pay for inferior garbage.
I kinda liked Honey West ...
