Future flop.

I disagree. Brad Pitt is not Chris Pratt (though the names could have some innuendo there). I think it will do somewhat decent. It's not the typical sci-fi out there so maybe not many will see it but it looks to be a nice little gem.
shareInnuendo?
shareOnly thing is Brad Pitt cannot put bums in seats, he was never a draw by himself, dont know why, he is a fine actor but not a box office draw.
shareIt's not Brad Pitt's fault. He was great in this. As for putting bums in seats, even Tom Cruise, the surest of surest box office magnet, couldn't save Oblivion (2013) which was pretty good. Will Smith infamously couldn't save After Earth (2013) either. Space movies are hard.
shareI told y'all it would flop. 35 millions domestic cume. It needs to make 200 worlwide to break even.
People don't have patience for slow-paced, intellectual space movies. The Martian and Gravity are crowd-pleasers
Very slow paced, even fell asleep. The only other movie to do it was 2001. As for intellectual, try again. They didn't even try to explain how the Project was using Anti-Matter to create those Electro-magnetic disruptions. They simply say it's coming from Neptune, don't ask questions, go bomb them.
shareAlso pirates! Piraaaaates!! Pew! Pew!
This movie was dumb.
Passengers made 300m ww. (100m domestic)
so far Ad Astra has made 89 m ww. (35m dom). will be lucky if it gets near 200m
i can't count on Brad anymore to give me the movies i want so badly
WW gross is $90m, expect $40-50m more. Budget is over $100m so big flop.
The initial version got poor feedback, so they did major reshoots. I'd like to know if that made is worse or better.

Maybe in the original version TLJ found aliens?
