Likely to be the biggest FLOP of Arnold's career to date...

ORIGINAL POST IN AUGUST 2014:

...Unfortunate, but true.

How this movie was green-lit I have no idea. Nobody wants to see a PG-rated movie about zombies that replaces the typical thrill, action, blood and violence associated with zombie films with an out-of-shape over-the-hill Arnold trying to act 'emotional' regarding the daughter character slowly deteriorating towards death akin to watching someone die slowly of terminal cancer. I'd rather pour salt in my eyes...

Thoughts?

UPDATE POST ON 25th MARCH 2015:

Well, being the OP, I have to say that after having just watched the first trailer for Maggie I am pleased to admit that I could not have been more wrong... In short, I am entirely reversing my opinion regarding this movie. From the trailer this movie looks amazing and I can't wait to see it. Let's hope the movie is as good as the trailer implies ;-D

Im going to see this purely because this looks like Arnies best acting to date. I didn't know he had it in him. It would be great to see him do more like this.

how about

zombie films are *beep* boring unless they concern themselves with characters, instead of gore?

I just saw the trailer this week and think it looks great. Makes me long even more for the I Am Legend with Arnold that almost happened, tho.

What a small minded dickhead you are ScienceGuy. I was rather impressed by the trailer and look forward to it. You can go and watch re-runs of T2 if you like?

I think you need to read THIS which I posted last March 25th: 😉

And you are forgiven already for erroneously calling me: "a small minded dickhead" 😃

The biggest flop? With a budget of 8M? Hahahaha. The only thing "biggest of all time" here is you being a moron. Batman an Robin probably lost more money than the whole budget of Maggie. As well as it being a really crap laughable movie. Maggie is a Drama and judging by the trailers not laughable at all. I know that you would probably rather like to see Arnold smash a 100K zombies with an ax, delivering a one liner each time, but that is not what this movie is about. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

The budget is $4 million.

They'd have to start handing money to people into the streets for it to be his biggest flop.
