750 k monday...............

Thanks Amphibian. So nice of you to let us know.

That's fantastic news! Only 24 more days like these and the cost for Jennifer to appear in the movie will be covered!!!

Lol. Didn't think this movie would flop so badly. I guess it's true that JLaw really isn't a box office draw as her worshippers here think she is. Faustus5 must be so depressed.

according to faustus on the passengers board now all the critics are in a conspiracy and punishing her.

Fraudster literally said "her talking about the pay gap has possibly enraged critics who make less than her as a movie star and is hence creating backlash"

first it was the writers and directors in xmen DOFP, then it was the editor in Serena, then it was "well joy actually did amazing considering!!", then it was the marketers and writers in apocalypse...

now its the critics... who wont jlaw fans blame?

not even kidding. next faustus will blame the lighting and set builders, then google for allowing people to find bad reviews, then the plebs for being too poor to see her film

You guys aren't being fair (or accurate). The movie is mediocre. The only thing that would have saved it is a new story with a new plot with a new script. Everything else about it was fine, including Chris' and Jen's acting.

But let's be clear. No actor is an automatic blockbuster. People love Jennifer, but they can see her all over YouTube and she's fantastic and they don't have to pay a penny. People pay for movies for the characters, the story, and the cinematic experience - not simply to see their favorite actor.

Message to Hollywood: If you have a bad movie and you want to turn it into a blockbuster, you gotta do more than put a big-name star in it. A sucky movie is a sucky movie no matter who is in it.

that is 90% of the film!!!!!. do you think hitch cock said “To make a great film you need three things – the script, the script, and the script.” to be funny or clever???

yes a great actor can elevate a terrible script and dialogue. but literally what you described is 90%+ of the film needed to be redone.

so you said

-chris and jen were fine
-the only thing that would save it was a entire new script...

so you admited that 90% of what makes a film needs to be scrapped. and the stars were "fine"... wow so who would want to see it??? we can see mediocre hollywood films any day??

i have to agree. but her cultists like fautus do not.. if a film succeeds, including hunger games, its mostly jlaw, if it fails, its the script, the marketting, the editing, the director. etc

the studio seemed to think it was the 1950s again, where people would pay buckets to see two attractive people, the hollywood "it guy and girl" in a romantic story"...

luckily peoples taste has elevated

it seems you agree with everything we are saying :S

-the film was mediocre at best
-jlaw and pratt were meh
-the script was poor to mediocre
-no one cared to see either star
-the film will do poor because no one cares..

why are you even disagreeing :s

When two people look at the same thing from vastly different perspectives and come to a singular conclusion - they have arrived at the truth.

Twas not my intention to disagree with you. Those things I described as lacking did indeed make up 90% of the whole. Chris and Jen made up the other 10% and their work was admirable.

Actors should never be blamed for a poor box office result unless their acting was bad. If they were given stupid lines to say - they'll come off sounding stupid. If they play a protagonist that no one could like and they play it well, then no one will like them. The actor's job is to make it real. Nothing more and nothing less.

The only thing I would object to is taking pleasure in the failure of a film. I have no doubt that everyone involved with this project was working hard to make it a success. Clearly some bad decisions were made along the way - and provided those that made them can learn from them - their next project will be more successful.

In short, I agree with much of what you are saying - but remain unsure as to your motivation for saying it.
