This will flop hard!


Making little to no money! I love Ben but I’m not paying to see this.

Great fun movie about middle aged white guys that get rich on the back of negros, but a huge financial failure.

Really? The one who gained most from this deal is Jordan (and his family)... still to this day Jordan is earning millions of his deal with Nike.

reply

Surely the highest earner here is Nike. Nike’s founder, Phil Knight, was born to a Jewish father and the Nike logo is thought to be a variation of the ancient Jewish symbol of the Star of David!

Well of course Nike earns the most... but they also have all the costs... Jordan is just collecting checks... Futhermore (if we can trust the film) Jordan was also the first athlete to get such a shoe deal... meaning he paved the way for all other sports stars to earn much more on their shoe deals going forward...

Shoe movie. Can't wait for the Keds story, or the Florsheim saga.

It made 80 million and cost 20 million so you are wrong.

Budget was $70M so not so good!
