The black girl is more well known overseas.
Excluding 2018 where she was on a weekly UK soap-she has been in a movie nonstop since 2015. 5 in 2017. An article I read said they were banking on that helping overseas. The film is not out in the UK.
I did not know this movie was out. I saw ZERO promotion for it.
Booksmart made $24 million off a $6 million budget. For two unknowns that is good. Dope with a then unknown Kiersey Clemons & Shameik Moore only got $18 million in their first movie.
Now in a case like this-I would have went with some names USA audiences knew of and did not hate due to a fan fiction movie about sparkling vampires.
True.I love it. Always an excuse. Always playing the victim. Aliens, Underworld, Resident Evil, and Terminators 1 and 2, say hi.
I'm ok with this if it means people like Banks stop getting involved in action flicks.
Tomb Raider, Lucy, Salt and Atomic Blonde check in too!
I don't think she was playing victim.
She did a movie no one asked for versus 2 characters (ESPECIALLY WW) with way more success than the Angels.
I was thinking of Daniel Radcliffe during Harry Potter, not Wood. But, here's an interview admitting he was drunk during filming.

It's pretty much a given Frozen II will lay waste to the box office landscape when it opens today, so what happens to the other two films also getting wide release today? A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, the Fred Rogers biopic starring Tom Hanks will get all sorts of Oscar buzz, then there's the Chadwick Boseman actioner 21 Bridges which I think will come up woefully short.

Most of her movies were (according to imdb) short movies, so nathing that would have been seen by a large audience.
And she would need to be a draw in more country that the UK to save the box office for this movie.
And that they release it that close to Christmas in Europe will probably also not help.
Is Banks really blaming the “male dominated” comic films on Angels tanking?
How does she explain my wife or the tons of little girls I see dressing up as Carol Danvers or Wonder Woman? Poor pity party for Charlie’s Angels.
Maybe no one saw it because it is a pile of hot garbage.
Her Pitch Perfect movies, which she produced, have made half a billion $. So I can see why she would think this type of film would work. And she is right. (PP 3 even had a Charlies Angel vibe in the plot). Unfortunately, what she made is so-so movie that didn't connect with the audience.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
Well, the Harley Quinn/Birds of Prey movie is on the way while a Black Widow film is in the pipeline. If they succeed even half as well as Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman, then Banks' foolish whining will be disproved.

As expected, Frozen II annihilated the competition, taking in $127 million over the weekend ($350 million worldwide) according to Box Office Mojo. The Fred Rogers biopic, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood debuted in third place with a modest $13.5 million, but that film is all about Oscars, not money earned at the box office while the Chadwick Boseman actioner 21 Bridges finished in fourth place with just $9.3 million. Now, can that film be considered a bust since it was expected to have been destroyed by Elsa, Anna and company?

A bust is a movie who loses money, regardless of the expectations. I would say...
