bomb
how empty was your theater?
shareTHIS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE KIND OF FILM THAT THE TERM BOMB APPLIES TO.
shareWhy not? It's a high profile move
share: An aspiring fashion designer is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s where she encounters a dazzling wannabe singer.
STARRING...BIG EYES AND NOBODY OF CONSEQUENCE...
HOW IS IT A HIGH PROFILE MOVIE?
It's not a small indie movie. It has a rising star (did you even hear of the Queen's Gambit) and a director with a big following (do you even know Wright?). There's been a lot of hype since it was delayed and premiered at festivals.
shareARTHOUSE-ESQUE...EVEN WITH WRIGHT ATTACHED THIS WAS EVER MEANT TO BE A MONEY SUCKING HIT.
AND IN A WORD OF NO SURE THING STARS ANYMORE...UP AND COMING BIGEYES MEANS DICK ALL.
“ STARRING...BIG EYES AND NOBODY OF CONSEQUENCE...”
As a Matt Smith fan, I’ll pretend you didn’t say that 😏
WTF IS A MATT SMITH?🤔
sharehe played charles manson in the surprisingly pretty good 'charlie says!'
it's worth a look. it's a surprising film that focuses mostly on charlie's girls, and does so in a very sympathetic, even thoughtful way.
streaming on netflix in the us.
Only the best Doctor Who since the series was revived in 2005!
But you’re Amurican so you get a pass I suppose.
I AM INTRIGUED WITH THIS DOCTOR WHO GUY...BUT AS STATED I AM AMERICAN...AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY...SO THE MOUNTAIN OF DOCTOR WHO MATERIAL IS DAUNTING.
shareSorry, I'd pick Eccleston over Smith.
shareDon’t be sorry, most people would pick Tennant over both of them!
Generally I liked Eccleston’s stories better but Matt’s the man for me in terms of actors who embodied the alien nature of the character and who had shades of all the classic series Doctors in his performance.
I'm a #4 girl myself, as that's who I grew up watching. I adore Tennant, and my favourite episode is Blink, but I hated the romance with Rose, so I prefer 11 over 10, but 9 was quirky and I wanted more of him, so he edges them both out for me.
share3000 theaters, big release
shareI GET IT...IT GOT A BIG RELEASE...DUE TO WRIGHT I IMAGINE...ALL I MEAN IS THE FILM ITSELF SEEMS LIKE A SMALL ARTHOUSE CROWD TYPE FILM...I WOULD NEVER IMAGINE IT BEING A "HIT"...SO THE TERM "BOMB" SEEMS ODD WHEN APPLID TO THIS PARTICULAR FILM....JUST MY OPINION.
shareYep, was getting a lot of buzz as well and tracking predicted it’s opening weekend to be $8 million which would at least get it into 3rd place behind Dune and Halloween Kills.
Instead it made about half of what was predicted and didn’t even get in the top 5 so it definitely underperformed.
Seems a mid-late November release would have been better going up against Eternals and Ghostbusters rather than compete with Dune, Halloween, Bond and Venom, it’s been a busy month.
