The Budget for this thing is out of control


The fact that they are dropping 90 Mill on this movie blows my mind. Do they really think this thing will make 225 mill domestically?

Who knows?

This is my favorite Agatha Christie. The Ustinov film from the 70s was pretty good, but I prefer the tv version with David Suchet. Most of the cast looks great for this version, but Benning will be a huge miss. And I haven’t been able to warm up to Branagh as Poirot.

The last one made more than $350M worldwide so they were probably expecting similar numbers before COVID hit.
