Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit is a failure because the audience was old. Also it didn't make much money.

Highlander wouldn't need to be R-rated though, it mostly got that for the sex; and sex in movies is out of style anyway.

And I know I keep yammering on about being able to do Highlander on a low budget, but you raise a good point: Hollywood isn't very interested in anything but tentpoles. Nobody wants just a piece of the pie, they want the whole drat thing or they don't want any at all. Elysium underperformed because instead of letting Neil Blomkamp make another low-key sci-fi movie, and letting it turn a tidy little profit, the studios threw money at him trying to wring out a blockbuster.

Poor Neil!

That'a actually exactly why I think this film will be trash. Doh ho, aren't our heroes a bunch of cads, ho ha, look at Pratt mug. It looks cynical as poo poo, and like Tars Tarkas said, doen't actually look fun, it's just jokes.

I mentioned Scott Pilgrim before because I imagine it going over the same way, small group of nerds going apeshit about it, but it alienating audiences at large.

I kind of understand what you're getting at, but complaining about a movie having jokes seems more cynical than what I just watched.

Everyone wants sequels to everything they like. Our opinions must be backed up by massive media franshization. The larger the franchise the more correct our adulation of the individual elements is, and our enjoyment of it is more justified. Give me more of exactly what I liked but different. I need to consume it all until it bores me and I move on to the next one.

Total, at least according to Box Office Mojo. The first one for 1.5M, the second for 5M. The usual caveats apply when using those numbers, but it's still really impressive.
