Ouch, that's underwhelming. I watched it and I really liked it, although I understand that it's not a movie with mass appeal. To be honest it could have been a movie for awards because acting is great, both Rob and Naomi delivered. I don't think it's a movie that's meant to be a blockbuster so I'm pretty confused by the big budget.

[kimberly]

before seeing the budget I was actually very impressed by the opening weekend numbers  were people expecting this to mirror Wicked at box office?

 

I generally enjoyed the film. Parasite it is not, but it's a very solid first viewing. Maybe it'll have good word of mouth.

 

Edit: Or maybe not

So that means it'll break even in only about 10 days?

No. That's not how it works.

 

118 x 2.5 = 295. It needs to gross like $300M just to break even. Good luck with that!

I was highly disappointed with mickey 17. it dragged and the there was literally no meaningful storyline development.

at least robert was eye candy but that's all i can say

I was highly pleased with Mickey 17. It didn't drag, and there was a meaningful storyline development.

 

In all honesty, I really liked it.

TO ME, this was like a high concept version of The Martian but way more funny and dark and less basic. Also, I feel like everyone in the ensemble carried even though Rob and Naomi were easily the standouts.

 

Miss Pattinson should 'I was a popcorn actor' his way to a Comedy Golden Globe win and a surprise Oscar nom

and then theres the freaky friday movie that was just revealed today, are they apart of disney I assume?

"Mickey 17" flopping? That's what you get for casting Robert Pattinson. He's literally had only one hit film outside the "Twilight" franchise, and that was "The Batman," another franchise. Robert Pattinson isn't talented enough as an actor or interesting enough as a person to lead a film. Tom Holland isn't a talented actor either, but at least he has a personality.

I went out to see Mickey 17 today with some friends. I was surprised at some of the things in it, and it was a lot better than I anticipated. I really liked it.

Yes of course. 😆 it's one of Disney's classics 2000's movies.

It's definitely not meant for awards. The acting is great, but overall it is quite underwhelming. It has an interesting premise, yet the whole story is so bland, ultimately your basic Hollywood good-against-evil. Its flopping does not mean it was not intended for mass appeal. 

 

I was kinda disappointed since this is Bong Joonho's first cinematic project since his Oscar win. With its premise, I expected them to explore a whole lot more depth.

Watched the movie two nights ago, and was disappointed.
First act was fine, then it got boring. It was so predictable. I couldn't believe this was the same director that gave Parasite and The Host.
It clearly lacked a solid point of view. It felt saccharine and dissonant at the same time.

Thanks! You coherently sum up what I meant to review! I wish they explored more depth on topics like egos and identities instead of whatever is this final product.

[Shinkirou]

I watched Black Bag and it was very entertaining. But it has Cate Blanchet in underwear, but no Michael Fassbender shirtless scene? Not even a tight shirt? No wonder it's flopping at the box office and with audience scores.

I will not stand for any Mickey 17 slander! We need original sci-fi blockbusters in theaters!!! Plus Robert and Naomi killed their roles.

It's so funny to me how when The Black Cauldron lost Disney ~$40m USD in the box office, it was high key the end of the world for them.

Nowadays we got movies that lose more than double and the major companies don't even blink.
