The second trailer focuses solely on selling the cast, which would be fine if they did it in a better way. The story seems murky and right now this action film doesn't look fun at all. Maybe the marketing will pick up! I agree with this too. The dull action does NOT help. There are no cool locales (at least the most recent Rambo had the jungle) or memorable moments. It's very typical "shootouts in a warehouse" fare. _________________   1. The Lost City of Z - 2. A Cure for Wellness - 3. Phantom Thread - 4. T2 Trainspotting - 5. Detroit - 6. Good Time - 7.

Re: The Expendables $50 m + Opening Weekend Club Making it seem like Bruce Willis and Ahhhnold are actually in the movie is a big, big plus. It's deceiving but a good move. But yeah, this won't attract a lot of females. It has an upper limit.

If they can pull in a sizable number of female audiences as well, this could do $70 m imo. For now, I'm leaving it at $50 m +, but this has huge, huge potential.
That's where they will not succeed. Not quite, but certainly a solid expected opening. It's a solid opening and an Inglorious Basterds type opening did seem like the best comparison. I think the soft marketing campaign stopped it from achieving a huger breakout that it could have done, but it's demographics of women and younger men thought impossible by most in here (And good WOM) makes me think it won't be as frontloaded as originally thought. _________________ Chippy wrote: As always, fuck Thegun.
