Lionsgate "Power Rangers" - - - - - - - - - - - - Part 21

[TeeKay]

lol this is hilarious.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

How about they just wait 5 years and reboot using one of the unadapted old versions?

 

[rayc1971]

When has it happened that a film that didn't make money got a sequel? Especially a franchise starter with middling reviews and low audience engagement

percific rim didnt really do that great domestically

Power Rangers didn't do great anywhere

I did my part.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

It didn't even do well anywhere. It did bad everywhere.

 

[TheVileOne]

Of course. But Fox also didn't craft a movie on the level of Harry Potter. They got cheap and didn't hire the talent outside of the actors. Columbus wasn't responsible for Potter's success, as the ability to continue to make successful movies after him showed.

That makes no sense. That's like saying George Lucas wasn't at all responsible for Star Wars success because look how successful it's been without him involved at all.

No, because Columbus wasn't Lucas in this situation. JK got a lot of offers, but went with the one that would, A) keep it British, B) legitimately sought out her input and C) basically gave Heyman complete control.

Who was the JK or Heyman with Percy Jackson? Who could actually hire John Williams?

It's kinda making me sad to see them asking the fans like this

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I just went to a Rangers board. They are blaming Lionsgate for the release now. Like more advertising and a different date would have changed this result.

 

[YoungBlood]

Unless Lionsgate want to be in another Divergent situation, a sequel will not happen.
Which is sad cuz I enjoyed the hell out of the movie, but the box office returns aren't great.

 

[Reel-Man]

I did my part.

Same here. Fingers crossed.

 

[The Riddler]

this movie went wrong long before they started filming.

Straight denial, man. This movie was doomed from the start. As long as they were planning to go the route they ultimately went, there was absolutely nothing that could've saved this movie.

Which one?

 

[Reel-Man]

Which version of the home release are you folks getting (Harry/smallville fan)?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Which one?

RangerCrew today. I have seen it on Rangerboard as well.

I find it so weird to complain about Lionsgate when they like the movie. Nor do I understand how they think this movie was killed by competition. BatB was big, but getting eaten up by Boss Baby? That is a problem with the movie, not competition.

Also the promotion thing is revisionist history.

I've hardly seen any complaining of that scale lately from those sites. If anything, folk in the fandom seem to either be on twitter lately and talking about that or discussing the JDF incident up in Phoenix.

Probably getting Digital, maybe get the Blu-Ray later for the commentary.

 

[Reel-Man]

Saw something about a plot to hurt JDF at the expo. What exactly happened?

They have dedicated movie threads, which I go and read. Like how some don't seem to understand how toy sales work or how they are promotion PR being #1 toy sales in the UK, like that is a big deal. One, it does nothing for Lionsgate, 2 its the UK and there is no description on what that even means. This isn't Star Wars selling 3 billion in a quarter. There are no numbers.

JDF was the target of a murder plot at Phoenix comic con this weekend. Luckily the guy was arrested before anything could happen.

 

[smallville fan]

A guy was armed to the teeth as The Punisher and was passed through and had intent to kill JDF before he was stopped by Police.

 

[Reel-Man]

Holy crap. That is insane. The amount of nutjobs out there is really depressing frankly. Glad nothing happened.

 

[harryoscop]

Holy **** glad they stopped that guy.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I want to know why exactly he was targeting him. I mean the guy is clearly crazy, but why fixate on him?
