Never seen anything with Miles Teller in it but Michael B. Jordan was pretty good in Fruitvale Station.


I saw that movie with zack efron, and after that I can't stand him lol

You are talking about That Awkward Moment never saw that one either as matter of fact I never saw any movie with Zack Efron in it still want to eventually see Neighbors though.  Fruitvale Station is really good though its one of the better movies from 2013 and I pretty much everyone agrees that Michael B. Jordan was really good in The Wire.  Creed looks like it could be decent but I doubt it will be better the Southpaw.

So what are we thinking? 240 million from overseas just to break even?

At 122 mil budget yeah. But even China has standards, though really bad movies have flown before.


It's kinda hard to grasp that the movie had a 122 million production budget its special effects aren't that special and according to one review it only had four different locations and I doubt any of the actors in it got a huge packcheck for doing it.



Well deserved.

What the hell did they spend $122M on in this movie?

Donuts and danishes.

Maybe $122 million includes marketing. $50 million on making the movie and $70 million on marketing. If they managed to do that, there's a small chance they could break even. Is there any info to confirm what the $122 million covers?

is the movie really that bad? for me it's a no go because I can't stand Michael B. Jordan nor Miles Teller.

Divergent, and Insurgent, I believe, and Whiplash. Not sure I actually liked his performances in any of these movies (haven't seen Insurgent yet, and I didn't really like Divergent enough to be motivated to see it), though he's not a bad actor either. Just pretty run of the mill, managed to catch a break and is now a B-list celebrity. Which should keep him decently financial if he doesn't snort all his money.

If this bombs for good, then let this send a message to Fox that we are done with their version of Fantastic Four. The next Xmen is looking shitty too so that might be the next one to have a low attendance.



The new Terminator was a good movie, this F4 movie is an abomination.

I really doubt that's going to happen.

Days of Future past was a mess.   Apocalypse should have been an Avengers Boss,  he is an Omega mutant, the dude is ridiculously mega powerful.  I think that movie will be a mess too.  Also he needs to be CGI in order to have the face he has in the comics, and not a dude in make up.
