Lionsgate’s take on Sherwood Forest suffers worst opening of any film this year with a budget above $90 million

Lionsgate’s “Robin Hood” is turning out to be this year’s biggest blockbuster bomb, with a $14 million five-day opening against a budget of just under $100 million. This year’s Thanksgiving weekend has provided the most lucrative box office ever. But even with all the record-breaking success, there have been some failures in 2018.

Flynn’s English Englishman versus Costner’s American pseudo-Englishman. Tough choice...

Nah.

#1, Hollywood doesn't make documentaries; #2, Robin Hood is a fictional character; and #3, Hollywood hasn't demonstrated that it's any good at fiction either.

Overture: Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore, riding through the land/Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore, without a merry band/He steals from the poor and gives to the rich/stupid bitch!

Mr. Moore: What was that?

Overture: We said, 'He steals from the poor and gives to the rich'.

Mr. Moore: ...wait a tic. Blimey, this redistribution of wealth is trickier than I thought.
