Read somewhere that it’s on course to lose $70 million.
I suspect most of the positive reviews were from militant feminist men and women. I read earlier today that the poor box office has squelched a sequel.
Nothing good comes from homowood.
I must admit, I had no interest seeing it after I saw a few promos.
Seemed like the only point of it from the get-go was to rub our noses in PC.
I for one enjoyed it. Guess I’m dumb.
Good
How about all those leftists in Hollyweird come up with something original for a chance
Or is that just not possible with idiots?
I surmised a 50 to 100 million dollar loss based on domestic/overseas sales, the weekly screening drops, the advertising budget etc.
Good.
“Who you gonna call?!!!”

It seems to be all remakes or superheroes.
Maybe it’s because the studios are trying for blockbusters, for which previous name recognition helps.
Better that than a one-way ride!
Star Trek was good. Not great, but fun.
I’ll see a movie where they make a man the hero and paint him in a good light. I will not see movies where only the women are the heroes. I guess it will be a while.
The only good thing to come out of this remake was the return of Ecto Cooler!!
You could rent "The Finest Hour". Good movie.
It was a terrible film. Practically dragged to it by my daughter. Made the original look like a cinematic masterpiece.
I mainly watch movies made by and starring people who are dead.
I didn’t hate it, but really didn’t think it was too heavy-handed on either PC or feminist issues. I didn’t go in there rooting against it, but felt it was unnecessary to remake it. The original was, well, original! It was creative and funny. When I saw it, I felt I was seeing something special, like I’d never seen before.
This remake, I found unfunny. Admittedly, I’m not a cheap laugh, but I can usually find something in a comedy that I think is clever or makes me smile a little. Sometimes a chuckle will leak out.
This pretty much left me flat-lined...
Dud.
..... I luv to laugh just like anybody else .... But when I saw the promos .... It looked like total garbage with nothing funny at all to laugh at. And considering most promos load the best stuff in them to draw an audience and pique interest .... I knew this thing wasn't going anywhere.
..... Still debating if I would even stream the crap on Netflix when it comes out. Probably just wait for it to show up as a crappy in-flight venue.
The new Star Trek tv show already ruined by the gay producer.

“We’re absolutely having a gay character,” Fuller said, recalling how, during his time on the Deep Space Nine writing staff, fans sent hate mail protesting a rumor that Jeri Ryan’s character Seven of Nine was going to be gay. He added that he kept a file folder of the vitriolic mail in his garage, solely to remind him of the importance of including gay characters if he ever got his own Trek series.
Fuller made light of the series’ acronym — STD — and said that sex and profanity likely will have a place on the show. “There will probably be slightly more graphic content,” Fuller said. “We discuss every day about language… Is it appropriate to have a bridge blow up and have somebody say, ‘Oh, s—t?’”
