another flop by disney, the last one is john carter, now lone ranger.
what is wrong with disney?

--------------------------------------

Disney's Lone Ranger, starring Depp as Tonto in a reboot of the radio and TV series, took just $29.5m (£19.8m).

Dave Hollis, Disney's head of distribution, said: "We thought it would appeal to a broader audience than it did."

The film, which has received poor reviews from critics, reportedly cost at least $225m (£151m) to make.

The majority of the film's audience in its debut weekend were over 25 years of age.
"You think you have everything in place," said Hollis.

"Even when you have all the ingredients for what you think will be a four-quadrant 'everybody' picture, sometimes it doesn't work out that way."

HISHE always velly velly funny one................

Man of Steel....................best part is when Admiral Ackbar say ''it's a trap!''

no, the best part is S is for subscribe and get advice from a random priest.

well, pacific rim is nice for robot fight but the tactic, story, all made no sense at all. Too much cgi, even helicopter is a cgi, when Mako go and pick up Pentecost, she brought a umbrella near the helicopter. There is no wind at all hitting the umbrella. The CGi of monster is much nicer than the jaeger. I dun even want to start with the mind melt, handshake, drift, kaiju killing dinosaur just ridiculous. it is worth to watch on big IMAX screen, who the hell wrote the story?

the movie is quite good, but sadly, it is going to be a flop in box office
what went wrong.

Is Pacific Rim destined to be an epic flop?
This is heartbreaking. Early tracking suggests that Guillermo del Toro's long-awaited "robots vs. monsters" movie Pacific Rim is gaining less audience interest than Grown-Ups 2, which opens the same weekend. Legendary Pictures "risks losing a lot of money" on Pacific Rim, Variety warns.

According to a sobering Variety article:
Early tracking for the film is so far disappointing with audiences showing more interest in Sony Pictures’ sequel “Grown Ups 2,” which also opens that weekend. Some are comparing “Pacific Rim” to to Saban’s “Power Rangers” kids franchise or Japanese anime.Part of the problem seems to be a marketing campaign that focused on revving up the hardcore fans, rather than reaching a broader audience for the $200 million-plus picture, as Variety explains in a separate piece:

Warner’s marketing strategy has been to rev up core fans first, then expand from there. Del Toro’s appearances at last year’s Comic-Con and this year’s Wondercon, and the action-oriented trailers, have stoked the fanboys.... the film’s marketing must overcome the perception that “Pacific Rim” is “Transformers vs. Godzilla.”
Indiewire says it's too soon to freak out about early tracking numbers — after all, the movie's marketing campaign is still just ramping up, and there have been plenty of films with bad early tracking that turned it around. But Indiewire's Kevin Jagernauth also makes the salient point that "this is why we can't have nice things," if an original concept suffers while a sequel to a shitty Adam Sandler movie prospers. "The more ticket buyers choose the safe route, the less likely studios are to roll the dice on original concepts."
