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 doesn’t make money it reinforces a stereotype in Hollywood that men don’t 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."

Finish it yourself.
So the boss is a woman who is lying to the three women employees by pretending to be a man...?
Priceless. What crap.
How did you like it?
I thought it was great!
A rare Hollywood treat these days. A pro-America film celebrating masculinity, friendship, loyalty, fatherhood, marriage, and gas-guzzling fast cars. No SJW virtue signaling. No "woke".
And honey, there's a way for women producers/artistes/etc to 'access money,' it's called a box office. You make stuff that people will pay to see.
Banks is married to one of the most Trump-hating blowhards out there..Judd Apatow. They already alienated half the country with their stupid political cvommentary. Maybe they should shut up and quit the wokeness and make movies. We are seeing the collapse in the quality of movies due to these people.
So you gonna call me a sexist because I won't go see your stupid movie?
You hurtz my feelz :(
LOL!
Why did have to be called Charlie’s Angels? I mean, if you’re reinventing/creating anew the action-movie heroine, isn’t it incumbent on the producers and directors to make and name it something new rather than lean on a tired IP?
I have always enjoyed that. Thanks for posting it. It fits...
She shoulda been a shemale.
Great clips, though Jackie Chan films are pretty much min a class by themselves.
btw, I was surprised to learn that prior to Supercop she had never done any martial arts (at least that is the publicity hype)because she makes it look good.

Chode, have you seen “Midway”?
Trivia alert!!!
I absolutely detest Hollywood’s version of powerful women. Sick and tired of the stupid special effects that show women kicking men’s asses and fighting like men. It’s disgusting imo. Yeah...I really believe a 5’ 2” female is going to pulverize a 6’ male with her fists and her roundhouse moves etc etc.
So? Maybe they don't. If so, make movies that they do go to see.
I enjoyed “The Atomic Blonde”, the first “Hannah”, “Nikita”, and on and on.
“You know what makes me sick?”, to use a radio guy’s line, is not a tough girl movie, it’s a movie steeped in delivering the Leftist message. That’s why they fail. Hollywood seems to have so much money to throw away creating this crap that nobody wants to see.
The curse of high intelligence. Note tagline.
Now that's just crazy talk.
