zwackerm wrote: I must disagree. For larger women, McCarthy and Jones are not ugly. And McKinnon and Wiig are attractive if done up well. Well, in terms of how their appearance affects the b.o. performance of their films, the general public does not go to a movie with McCarthy or Jones because they are attractive. They go, if they go at all, for their brand of dumb comedy. But I guess beauty doesn't sell these days either, considering all of JLaw's recent films have bombed.

Re: Solo under $100m OW club
Ask Algren about JLaw's beauty and he will provide more tips BTW Clarke is in no way beautiful "enough" to open a movie on her name and definitely not one named after Han Solo.

Re: Solo under $100m OW club
JLaw's films have only disappointed when we view them within a male framework. You have to remember that the gross range for female-led films is much lower as standard, so when talking about drawing power this has to be factored in. She is a draw. Now, when talking about bomb or not a bomb, this is economic and cannot be argued against.

Re: Solo under $100m OW club
Oh, and Emilia Clarke isn't beautiful, but let's says he is for argument's sake ... she makes no difference to a film's gross because she is a TV actress. There is no excitement to see some TV actress on the big screen. You've already seen plenty (and more) of her on television every week. People go to the cinema to see movie actresses. People you don't see so often. Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry, etc.

Re: Solo under $100m OW club
It's difficult to ignore that most people think she is attractive. That's what we're talking about here.

Re: Solo under $100m OW club
Lawrence hasn't really bombed either. Mother was a fucked up film that made 50 million more than it should have because of her.
Red Sparrow and Passengers were healthy hits.

Re: Solo under $100m OW club
Passengers was a hit yes but Red Sparrow would barely make money as it did $140m out of $70m budget and it doesn't seem like a movie that many people will see at home.

First of all: stupid statement. 2nd, that doesn't make her poison. Action films always do well On Demand. I wouldn't be surprised if it pulls at least 70 million WW from that. Also I read the budget dropped down to the mid 40s after sponsorship was taken into account.

Re: Solo under $100m OW club
Its moronic when you call other stupid without any proof and pull out idotic words like "poison" when no one in mentioned that. Since you don't understand simple English here is what I was mentioning "JLaw is a draw BUT Red Sparrow won't and isn't a HEALTHY hit" Have you seen Red Sparrow? It has elements that can be called action but its NOT an action movie. You're expecting Red Sparrow to make $70m from home media WW? By that logic Avatar would have made another $1.5b in home media, I just cannot believe that to be true. You do realize that $70m doesn't include P&A costs WW right?
Thegun of all people ALWAYS talks about movies not making their budget and now suddenly to prove your stupid point you're making things up.

Re: Solo under $100m OW club
Both this and Deadpool feel severely underhyped right now. I don’t expect either to hit $300m. But Infinity War is sucking up all the air, so they still have a chance to turn things around after that opens.

Re: Solo under $100m OW club | Two days left to join!
Instituting a Saturday cut off for this club, when the official Infinity War Friday estimates will come out.
This will also mean that the club is closed by the time more definitive Deadpool 2 and Solo tracking come out.
