Very likely. I saw the trailer in the theater, and the reactions of my group and people sitting ranged from giggling to groans to gagging noises.

Yes, this looks like a disaster.

I think we should wait and see

Probably will, but who knows

Looks mediocre.

Virtual 0 promotion here at least in Australia. I'm yet to see an ad on TV for this film. I am guessing a 100m box office will be close to making this profit. They clearly have little faith in it to not back it with a decent advertising campaign.

I think this means they're already writing this off as a loss. Rather then throwing more money down the drain trying to boost its box office.

Predicting $15m 5-day opening, so I'd guess less than $40m gross. Budget of $100m, they didn't spend it on costumes!

Sad to say, but its looking like a flop. Why does Hollywood keep rebooting movies?

reply

It's only made $24 million worldwide so far. It's an abysmal failure in an age where some box office analysts say a film typically needs to make 3x it's budget back in its worldwide gross (in contrast to the old adage that a film needs to make back 2x its budget).

If that formula is correct in this instance, then Robin Hood needs to make $270 million just to break even. Even if we go with the old formula, it would need to make $180 million. As it stands, it looks like it's going to fall well short of either number.
