The reviews trend that the movie is decent. So, why are the
box office numbers low?
Because it is a long, slow, hard sci-fi movie with existential themes... Without Gosling it would have zero mainstream appeal...
I think European numbers might do well... I don't think this kind of movie does well in China... Speculation on my part...
Also, the reviews are too positive, makes it seem like hype unfortunately, as it is a good movie...
The visuals look great, but the plot is NOT amazing in any way. They knew this, so they paid a ton of people to inflate the reviews. Of course, no one can PROVE this, but it is how business works on this planet, so no reason to not believe it. It makes logical sense.
share“so they paid a ton of people to inflate the reviews”
Oh look it’s that idiot again. Because if YOU don’t think a movie is great no one could possibly think it’s great, right? Therefore all of the reviews saying it’s great are fake.
There's is show called infowars you might like...
shareoh my god, you don't believe it is even possible that ONE review on Amazon could be fake? If ONE can be...... :) Amazon has recently added "VERIFIED BUYERS" to reviews because of so many fake ones.
Welcome to the business world in 2017, dude! :D
because people are stupid and all they want is superhero movies and amy schumer "comedies".
shareYeah, it's a sequel to a 35 year old movie, and it's 2 hours and 45 minutes long. It was going to be a hard sell.
I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance. A review of the movie here- https://youtu.be/T8kS7nSeCQs
Thanks for the link
shareBecause it's trying hard to be a true Blade Runner movie, like the first one, which didn't do well in the theater.
shareProbably has something to do with the fact that average moviegoers (the ones who haven't seen the first film) don't want to sit through close to a three-hour movie in theaters. They're probably waiting for Blu-ray/streaming so they can pause it.
I saw "Titanic" (1997) twice in the cinema. Back then, that was the best way to experience it. Both times, they had an intermission halfway through.
Nobody wanted to watch it on some crappy VHS tape with their CRT TVs.
Why are the box office numbers for the Transformers movies so high? Box office numbers have nothing to do with the quality of a movie. A shit movie could have high box office numbers and a great movie could have low box office numbers. Nothing more stupid than people who use the box office numbers to defend or put down a movie (not saying that’s what you’re doing).
sharethis movie is too long - I will wait til I can see it at home
shareI can understand that. I was hesitant to go see it at the theater because of the length, but I did and it went by pretty fast. Felt more like 2 hours.
shareThe only movie since Avatar that I would say absolutely must be seen in a theater, only this time it’ll be cheaper because unlike Avatar, a 2D non-IMAX viewing will work just fine. Seriously, don’t wait.
shareI understand your point. It's appropriate. I wonder, though, if the reason for a movie like Transformers to have such a high return is due to it's demographic target. A 7 year old can watch transformers and follow along. Their parents are more likely to take kids to a movie that's not rated R. Transformers, in this situation is positioned to make more money than Blade Runner. What surprises me the most is the sheer lack of interest in Blade Runner. Many claim it's the run time. I wonder if it has more to do with the fact that we're seeing so many remakes, sequels, prequels, retellings, continuations and "verses" being thrown on the screen. Both ate probably a part of the truth.
