I see little appeal. Most of the summer 2013 disappointments had more going for them. This is Island, Stealth, RIPD level.

The Wachowski's can deliver superior films to those mentioned without effort.

I love them too, but does that make the difference?

Mila Kunis has worn out her welcome and despite Channing Tatum's improvement, he hasn't anyone else to bounce off here.

I think this is woefully miscast.

Quite possibly true.

The Wachowski's are so far ahead of the curve that the average filmgoer can't even see them in the distance.

Forget Cloud Atlas for a moment and look back to the BO performance of their previous film - - the masterpiece Speed Racer only did $18m/43m DOM and another $50m overseas for $93m WW.

Speed Racer did something like 99% more than it deserved. It's a true piece of shit as much as The Matrix is great. Haven't seen Cloud Atlas. Looks good though.

I think he's joking about Speed Racer being good. I hope he's joking.

Several people walked out of the movie. I've never seen that happen before or since. Me and my buddy talk about it to this day and that was 6 years ago.

Speed Racer is the best movie of 2008.

Problem with the Wachos is that each movie they make gets progressively worse.

Bound>The Matrix>The Matrix Reloaded>The Matrix Revolutions>Speed Racer.

Cloud Atlas is an exception but that's probably thanks to Tom Tykwer.

Nah, I've heard loads of people say it's great.

Speed Racer is great actually.

I loved it and this after seeing it 2 years ago? I never watched it originally because the trailer was a joke.

Post Re: "Jupiter Ascending"
Channing Tatum is now out of his lucky 3 $100m movies streak. I don't think he will have too much appeal for this movie if he didn't get much for WHD. Kunis is not really a draw, plus Wachowskis aside from Matrix are yet to prove their openings.

I don't see this opening less than $30m but $100m total will depend on the WOM.

Well it looks like my hopes of Jupiter Ascending bombing have come true. It moved to February 2015.

I guess the studio saw that the film is shit and couldn't face an epic Summer bomb. But now it faces a Liam Neeson film and Seventh Son. Should be a terribly funny weekend.

New prediction:

$11m opening / $25m total

Bombing worse than John Carter FTW!

Well, is the New Release Date (2/6/15) good or bad?

It seemed that it was somehow lost in the shuffle This Summer, so maybe it has more room to breathe in february. Or maybe it will turn into another Cloud Atlas...

Post Re: "Jupiter Ascending"
Of course it will turn into another Cloud Atlas. The Wachowski's are just shit now, and everyone knows this. Their films are just not commercial anymore, and they are set up to be bombs.

Delaying it is never a good sign. It wasn't so hidden in the Summer that people didn't know it was coming out. Now that it is being delayed, subconsciously that will affect people's view on it.

I don't know if that's any better. It's still the same film. They wasted a lot to market it for this year before this 8 month delay.

If the product is shit, special effects won't save it.

If they are able to build enough interest in February then maybe this could be another GI Joe but that one had much better trailers even before it was delayed.
