The Fury said: A shame as it's a very good film all should see, there's been many good sci-fi films recently, it's good to see, maybe Hollywood has gotten over the mythical adventure fetish it's recently had. US audience are weird though too, they probably think "It's set in Europe, why would I want to see that?" Silly USAians.

Yeah, that's why Americans hated the Harry Potter and LOTR / Hobbit movies.... they got funny accents and the movies aren't set in 'murica.

Two words: Tom Cruise. American audiences have no use for this guy... the rest of the world either doesn't care or loves nuts like this.

IT has the worst trailer for a good movie I have ever seen.

The trailer just goes like"here this is a random dumb mainstream movie it has no substance and is just about war Bla blah yadda yadda"

Everyone thought the movie is shit until I convinced them to actually give it a chance and even tho its obviously not the best movie ever it is by FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR better than the shit trailers.

LOL. Since he jumped on the couch, it's bomb after bomb.  Stop living in the past.

If the movie is truly good, then I would have to say bad marketing.

I love action movies and this should be up my alley, but the trailers I've seen look boring. I've seen a few commercials, but honestly I'm thinking I've already seen this movie somewhere.

Maybe this movie is good, but even with this new internet controversy/hype, I'm still not in any hurry to see this film.

ROFL Jack Reacher a 60 milliom dollar movie made made 4 times its budget and also 100m more than 2 guns starring Washington and Wahlberg. It also made more than Safe House with Washington and Reynolds,  and Unstoppable, or you could look at it from the point of view that it made the exact same amount as Captain Phillips a movie that had countless award nominations and practically the same budget. Oblivion was profitable, and Ghost Protocol made 700m world wide. Edge will go on to make money as well.

If you're going to make shit up as you go along at least try to be midly enterataining.

Nice cherry picking.  Let's look at the domestic box office (the subject of this discussion) for his most recent movies (since 2007) with domestic gross and production budget:

11/9/07     Lions for Lambs      $15,002,854 $35 million
12/25/08   Valkyrie            $83,077,833 $75 million
6/23/10     Knight & Day        $76,423,035        $117 million
12/16/11   Ghost Protocol        $209,397,903    $145 million
6/15/12     Rock of Ages        $38,518,613        $75 million
12/21/12   Jack Reacher        $80,070,736        $60 million
4/19/13     Oblivion            $89,107,235        $120 million
6/6/14       Edge of Tomorrow    $28,760,246        $178 million

Besides MI: Ghost Protocol, these are all bombs.  And this is only production budget, add in the marketing budget and it's really ugly.  The fact that you had to add in the international grosses to make your point just proves that you have no leg to stand on.  Cruise is on the decline in the US.  Most people don't want to support a Scientology whackjob, it's that simple.

Amy Adams is also a Scientology/Mormon nut job. Why does the Superman 3D movies make good money?
