This is blowing my mind given how awful it looks.  Maybe a "so bad, it's good" candidate?

Jack Black=profits.

Sometimes, though not always, he has definitely been a lead actor in some box office flops over the years, such as Envy (2004), Year One (2009), The Big Year (2011), and of course we can't forget the Borderlands movie last year where he voiced Claptrap, which flopped spectacularly.

The Big Year was actually an even bigger flop than Borderlands (making just $7.4m on a $41m budget), though unlike Borderlands, which flopped in spite of a heavy marketing campaign, I suspect The Big Year wasn't marketed properly, a movie with 3 pretty big actors; Jack Black, Steve Martin, and Owen Wilson; should not have flopped if it was marketed well. I saw it recently on Max and enjoyed it, was shocked to learn it flopped so hard at the box office when I looked it up on wikipedia after watching it.

In fairness though it wasn't just forum users underestimating it, experts in the field were projecting a $50m opening, they were wrong by more than double, as it is now projected for a $130m+ opening, Lmao. I didn't understand why some thought it would flop, or why the opening projections were so wrong, but I will say that I doubt $1bn now, despite it smashing projections, I think it will have a steeper drop at some point when all the kids and hardcore Minecraft fans are out of the way, I think it'll fall short of $1bn but it will definitely be making a good profit for Warner Bros who desperately need one right now given the absolute mess the company is in, Lol.

I think my next Xbox game I will be playing will be Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate on my Series X.

Good luck, it is the best version with the fem characters having like 20 costumes to unlock.






Now enough talk about Minecraft.

Where's Oblivion Remaster.

Probably not much going on with xbox at the moment. 

Hope they announce the 'Xbox' Rog ally this month with maybe few games like the Oblivion remaster' To show off what it can do.

Also trying Borderlands again, I find it annoying because with every gun/shield/Grenade mod I pick up I want to check if it is better or not and sell them all the time. I wished the game had a standard pistol/SMG/Shotgun etc instead that you can upgrade/change with unlocks from level ups/Quest completed and secrets found.

Which Borderlands are you playing?

I finished Borderlands GOTY Enhanced on PC last year.

I'm gonna play Borderlands 2 in the future - played a bit of it years ago but never finished (or gotten that far).

Only played and finished the OG Borderlands back in 2013 and its Enhanced edition last year.

Played the first one back in the day and completed it but I bought it close to release and did not have a big TBP list yet.

Played a bit of the prequel or the sequel and stopped after a few hours.

Borderlands 3 is on gamepass (hmm see signature) and I already get tired of it not sure if I will continue yet.

There's an ESO stream on the 10th of April, I wouldn't say it's impossible for it to show up there but unlikely, I know they're both Elder Scrolls but I think it'd still feel out of place to announce Oblivion Remaster in a stream for Elder Scrolls Online which will also be full with ESO news, Lol. Other than that I can't really think of where they'd announce it.
