snoop1130 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Why Will Smith's Gemini Man flopped at the box office BY IAN SANDWELL PARAMOUNT Not even two Will Smiths was enough to convince audiences that Gemini Man was worth going to see. Ang Lee's ambitious sci-fi film is projected to have a loss of $75 million or more after struggling at the box office, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The latest blow to Gemini Man was its failure to land big in China, where it could only debut with $21 million and lost out to fellow new opener, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. Including an estimated $36.5 million in the US, the movie has grossed $118.7 million worldwide and, according to Forbes, will struggle to go past $200 million by the end of its run as it has now opened in all of the major markets bar Japan.

KhunBENQ Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Aside from the content/story... High frame rates do not guarantee high profit Why would one use such an ambitious overly expensive technology when there is not a single cinema in the US that could play it in full frame rate (as I heard recently in a radio report)? In Germany there is supposed to be one(!) cinema that could make use of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it will soon be out on Disc? - not Dvd as it probably would not have the (frame rate) capability either (compared to BluRay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgMech Cowboy Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I had thought I might go see it, but now I'll probably give it a miss. (At least it's not a front to promote his children into the acting world). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked that Legend film! Gemini was OK- some good action sequences. Certainly no worse than anything from Marvel. Ending was dire though. Way too Hollywood.

Golden Triangle Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I'll just wait for it to turn up on my TV box sometime in the near future then, no point in going to the cinema to see it and waste good money on a mediocre movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a brilliant young co-worker I once had would put it "it sucks!" Ask him why and you'll hear "it just does!" As I said, brilliant. Will "You gotta be givin' me some Oscars" Smith. I think MIB was the last of his I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
