Doctor Sleep
btw the sypnosis itself is a spoiler if you haven't watched the first one
Still irrevocably scarred by the trauma he endured as a child at the Overlook, Dan Torrance (Ewan McGregor) has fought to find some semblance of peace. But that peace is shattered when he encounters Abra (Kyliegh Curran), a courageous teenager with her own powerful extrasensory gift, known as the 'shine.' Instinctively recognizing that Dan shares her power, Abra has sought him out, desperate for his help against the merciless Rose the Hat (Rebecca Ferguson) and her followers, The True Knot, who feed off the shine of innocents in their quest for immortality. Forming an unlikely alliance, Dan and Abra engage in a brutal life-or-death battle with Rose. Abra's innocence and fearless embrace of her shine compel Dan to call upon his own powers as never before—at once facing his fears and reawakening the ghosts of the past.

box office numbers are amazing to watch
Especially over the years.
it also doesn’t help that Disney is basically a monopoly now
some boring stuff,
this is the site where reviews are posted
for the other stuff
for every dollar a movie makes in the US the studio gets .50 cents of dollar
for every dollar a movie makes outside the US the studio gets .33 cents of dollar
for every dollar a movie makes in china the studio gets .25 of a dollar
a movie that makes $100m in the US gets $50m profit
a movie that makes $100m outside the US gets $33m profit
a movie that makes $100m in China gets $25m profit
so this movie did $300m but the studio only got $108m in profit

The 10 Biggest Box Office Flops of 2019 (So Far)
This year has been a weird one. Obviously not every movie has been a box office failure, but there were a lot more bombs than anyone could have anticipated.
www.tasteofcinema.com
The 10 Biggest Box Office Flops of 2019 (So Far)
10. Dumbo
Of all the movies announced by Disney, this was the one we all could have assumed would be the lowest grossing but still insanely bankable film. Tim Burton’s luster has been lost a bit and “Dumbo” has some strong iconography attached to it, but as a movie, it has not been one of the most popular. But still, it’s Disney making a movie about a cute animal. And yet, not so.
It did well compared to small movies. But when its budget is estimated at around $170 million, grossing a tad over $350 million worldwide is very unimpressive. At that budget, it would have to make half a billion to justify its existence. But it didn’t. One of the earliest signs that this was going to be an odd box office year.
9. The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part
“The Lego Movie” from 2014 was a smash. A true phenomenon. And “The Lego Batman Movie” was also a smash hit. But after the lackluster, barely-existent release of “The Lego Ninjago Movie,” the luster has started to come off the Lego franchise. And “The Lego Movie 2” continues that downward trend.
In tandem with lackluster reviews and really bad marketing, it was a shocking box office failure. The first movie made $469 million worldwide. This one? $191 million worldwide. That is a catastrophic drop-off. There is a better than slim chance that this marks the end of the Lego franchise, and maybe for good reason.
8. Godzilla: King of the Monsters
For a year, audiences were treated to unreal trailers for this new Godzilla movie. Each new trailer was as gorgeous and awe-inspiring as the next. Even if the movie wasn’t good, you could expect a big opening weekend just from the trailers getting people excited. And yet, this movie’s opening weekend was only $47 million. For the price tag of this monster, that is no bueno.
It’s doing better worldwide, but not good enough to make this an earner. A truly shocking turn of events. Warner Bros may have greatly miscalculated the world’s desire for a Kaiju cinematic universe, as they already have “Godzilla vs. Kong” in the can.
7. Men in Black: International
Throwing Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson into the forefront of a new MIB movie seemed like a sure bet. They were great together in “Thor: Ragnarok.” F. Gary Gray had just come off the one-two punch of “Straight Outta Compton” and “The Fate of the Furious.”
The franchise is one that is ripe for numerous entries, regardless of the talent in front of the screen. But the movie has been putting out nothing but severely uninspiring trailers for a while, and when the release came with such middling reviews, the writing was on the wall. The opening weekend tally of $30 million was not great. Kind of a killer. It’s not lighting things up overseas either, so this may very well mark the end of the franchise. For now at least.
6. Hellboy
When it was announced that Guillermo del Toro wouldn’t be allowed to finish his Hellboy trilogy so that Mike Mignola could reboot the franchise more to his liking, film fans were disappointed. So was Guillermo.
But at least he took the split as well as possible and went on to win scores of Oscars for “The Shape of Water.” Mignola, on the other hand, helped craft what is surely one of the worst comic book movies ever. And audiences could smell the stink off of the hilariously bad try-hard trailers desperate to look like a “Guardians of the Galaxy” knockoff.
It cost around $50 million to make, which is shocking since it looks cheaper than a Blumhouse movie. And it’s only taken in $46 million worldwide. This is a disaster. And it should come as a bit of a karmic piece of justice as Guillermo should have been allowed to make his movie. This franchise went from part two being one of the best comic book movies ever, to such a monstrous low.
5. The Kid Who Would Be King
This was not all that surprising a bomb as its marketing materials were not great. It looked like a cheap little kids movie meant to cloyingly evoke the nostalgia of parents who grew up with Amblin movies. That it was helmed by a legit filmmaker in Joe Cornish was surprising, as the movie appeared to have no personality to it.
And then it came and went like a bolt of lightning. Costing around $59 million, it only grossed around $31 million worldwide. That’s embarrassing. That it couldn’t even do business in the U.K. was surprising. But overall, this just felt like a movie that was asked for by no one.
4. Alita: Battle Angel
Hollywood just keeps on chasing that anime ball. Despite ample evidence to the fact that the aesthetic of anime just doesn’t work in a live-action setting, and that the narratives are way too complicated for movies that aren’t guaranteed to last for more than one entry, they keep trying. And they keep failing.
James Cameron has been chasing this particular ball for a long time. But now that he can only focus on his truly in demand* “Avatar” sequels, he passed off the baton to the truly hack-like has-been Robert Rodriguez. And that worked out as well as a Robert Rodriguez-helmed movie usually does.
It apparently cost around $170 million to make, but that is probably a low ball estimate thanks to its long road to being made. It only made $85 million in the U.S. and more than $300 million worldwide. But with its budget, it makes this a big loser for FOX.
3. Shaft
Taking a well-respected piece of black art and turning it into a cheap little piece of pablum didn’t work out too well for the filmmakers and the studio. “Shaft” as a franchise is an important piece of cinematic history. So of course, trying to turn it into the new “Ride Along” wasn’t gonna make it all that well-respected. But when you get Tim Story of “Ride Along” infamy and Samuel L. Jackson, you’d think the receipts would be impressive.
Thankfully, they haven’t been. It only made $8 million on its opening weekend, which is truly the definition of a bomb. It will not be a success. People aren’t liking it, so it won’t be some word-of-mouth smash. Insulting the legacy of a truly groundbreaking and important series was a bad decision.
2. Serenity
This was destined to be just another mid-budget movie released in the early year doldrums with no real attention paid to it. But it had a high-production sheen and the star presence of Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway. And then it came out and the movie’s slack-jawed audacity made the movie a target for people to watch out for.
It bombed hard, costing around $25 million to make (how?!) and only coming in with around $11 million. This movie will probably last forever thanks to its ‘how did this get made?’ ready premise, but this was a shocking miscalculation on the filmmaker’s and studio’s part.
1. Dark Phoenix
This movie is emblematic of a blockbuster failure. It’s a movie that no one wanted. Essentially a remake of a prior series low meant to “fix” past mistakes. But it had to be heavily reshot and delayed for a year, and none of the marketing looked like anything worth all the time and money that was spent on it. No one cared. Even the actors looked bored by doing another one of these films after the truly awful “X-Men: Apocalypse.” Yet no one could have anticipated how hard this would bomb.
The official budget was around $200 million, but that is definitely not true with those extensive reshoots ballooning the budget. When it opened to $32 million on its opening weekend, people were shocked. The X-Men movies have been around for almost two decades now before the Disney purchase put an end to that piece of cinematic history.
For it to be so ignored by the public is wild. And the fact that its second weekend suffered the biggest second weekend drop-off ever, only earning around $8 million, is truly jaw-dropping. If Disney wasn’t putting an end to all of this, surely the movie-going public did.
cool thread!
i'm honestly surprised the lion king, toy story 4, and aladdin did as well as they did... then again, i'm not the target audience and any opinions i've seen about these live action movies are from my own age group, so. lol

public doesn't care and i can't see any studio willing to get burned again trying to make a new,
so is safe to say that terminator is pretty much dead now
Charlie's angel goes out next week but there are no reviews,
the only reason they have to hide them is because they aren't good...
on the other hand the soundtrack by ariana grande was reviewed already

Album Review: ‘Charlie’s Angels: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack’
The Ariana Grande co-executive-produced soundtrack isn't in the same class as her solo albums, but amid the unevenness, it has its moments.

The film franchise is dead, but I wouldn't put it past them to try another tv show on a streaming platform in 5 yrs. or so. These services need new content and a series with a much smaller budget could help fill out their programming. Studios also aren't inclined to share their ratings or metrics, so no one would know if it's a failure. Until it gets cancelled, lol.
