Box office flop, The Last Stand, fails to impress as it earns only $1.9million to kick off holiday weekend
Despite a high profile online press junket (money well spent there), the film bombed on opening and barely made it into tenth place. In fact, this marks the worst opening for an Arnie film since "Raw Deal" all the way back in 1986.
this is what happens when you allow Johnny knoxville in your promo poster.

"The last stand" ...liberally ;D
-
It looked like shit in the trailer. Arnold doesn't have his body or youth anymore. He's not a good actor and he's been reduced to cliches and one liners. Younger generations growing up don't hold him in the same regard as people around my age and older do so naturally, his popularity is and will continue to decline.

you should have seen him in his press conferences talking shit about this will be a box office hit...Sorry Arnold you lost your audience, stallone somehow keeps his, even though stallone is older he seems younger then arnold and that translates on the big screen.

It couldn't possibly be worse than the Expendables 2.

Wiggs, my thoughts exactly. the youth is gone, the younger generations look at him the way i look at burt reynolds.

I havent seen it, but it did not flop, stallone is setting up his kids nicely with the residuals.

Yes, although riddled with cliches and oneliners, look at the actors in the movie. It was 70's, 80's and 90s action hero heaven (no homo). That's why that movie did so well. This is just Arnold and Luis Guzman. lol

It`s worst than that, he assumed that most film goers are stupid.
I mean most are pretty dumb, but no matter how dumb one is, no one wants to see a senior citizen trying to play a badass.
Arnold never understood his legitimacy was based on high end films, like predator and T2.
If he were smart he would of monopolized on the production end of films like playing a nazi in inglorious bastards.
He got the fame and the wealth to get in on that kind of action, but I suppose his ego is too large to be supporting cast member.

Expendables 2 wasn't that bad, better than the first. Wonder how Slys next movie will do...

Sly knows the younger generation, his at the comic book festivals every year, stallone plays the game well, i know for the 1 st expendable he was on every talk show, from bill o'reilly, letterman, today show etc, that whole week was a stallone blitz, for the 2nd expendables his son died, no talk shows but it did better then the original.

Very good post.
I wouldn't say Arnold is reduced to cameos and B movies, but he needs to hang back and perhaps play 2nd or third fiddle to some of the younger action stars. I don't think he has leading man potential anymore, but he could fall nicely into supporting roles. I can see him as a father or mentor figure in current action films.
-
8 years is a fraction of a generation that don't know his work but I think his second film will yield better.
-
Looking forward to "The Tomb" though, where Arnold doesn't really play a 100 % Good guy :D

Arnold will continue to brutalize his legacy out of subservience to his ego -- he simply cannot leave the glow of the spotlight. He needs to take a cue from Johnny Carson, George W. Bush, and others who understood the gracefulness of becoming a private person once their time is up.

Hard to do that when your still shootin up 300mg test 200mg primo every week!
-
The fact is that hormones gave Arnie every thing good in his life but also contributed to all his fucks ups. Fuckin the maid, the egomaniac ruthless personality his shit acting skills are probably in part due to the fact that he's semi-cooked his brain with years of aas and cadaver gh.
He could never play a father figure or mentor role because he's still juiced up and feels like a 25 year old.
-
They should all stop. Sly, Arnold, Etc.,
-
Arnold is an old man now, I mean he looks like he should be sitting by the fire in a rocking chair with a dusty knitted blanket to keep the chill off his legs. Not still trying to play the "action hero".
-
Bruce Willis seemse to be carving himself a nice niche right now IMO - a lot of cameo roles and playing elderly guys in young guy films.
Arnie should take note - but then he's not the actor Willis is.
-
Arnold walks like an old lady.

Bruce Willis still has vigor though, and doesn't seem as old

Can die already? Shitty movies, shitty governor and knocked up a human eggplant. Enough I say

That`s sad, almost as sad as message board of old fucks pretending like he was ever anything more than media hype.

Truth. I used to be a heavy drinker and I've woken up next to some real sea donkeys. But If I was with that, I'd tie an anchor to my cock and head to the lake

hes too old school for the newschool

it looks like bruce is embracing getting old and just staying in shape.
arnold and stallone... hair plugs, etc.
-
To be fair, for an action movie its getting high praise and good reviews, I think Arnies old image plus the R rating is killing it in the USA, I expect it will do well overseas where people arnt so image conscious.
-
Arnold has the hideous hair dye.
At least Bruce Willis went bald gracefully.
Arnold is as bad as Harrison Ford
-
It comes down to this when u see a trailer , theater or Blu-Ray
Sorry that movie was bluray all day
The new superman looks like a theater flick to me

Perhaps the latest massacre and orgiastic gun control debate has dampened U.S. consumers' enthusiasm for what is undoubtedly a shitty film full of blowing people away.
-
one film after another blowing shit up shooting the bad guys
they really want us to be locked in on the lower mind dont they

He got lucky bc she was on the tony Parker rebound. Fuck that gossiping bitch, mario.
-
I will see it in the cinema and buy the blu-ray!
-
Somewhere in an undisclosed, Arnold is crying in Mildred's lap, looking up on a wall, with wet eyes, on a poster of Wiggs.
-
I saw it.. It was OK... (But nothing special)... "The Tomb" looks like it will be a good one..
-
They should all stop. Sly, Arnold, Etc.,
Agreed, I want to add Mick Jagger, McCartney, Tyler to the list. Don't want to see seventy year olds bouncing around on stage.
-
"The last stand" ...liberally ;D
Liberally? I assume you meant to say 'literally'
-
The nine or ten ( none bodybuilding related friends ) I have went to see the film and they all said it was really fun to watch ..... One thing is for sure everyone over the age of 30 will watch this film Netflix,Red box blu- ray. Yes, time have changed.

ARNOLD PLAYING WITH KNOXVILLE WAS CLOSE TO BEING AND MAKING TOM ARNOLD'S 15 MINUTES OF FAME GO ON 20 MORE YRS,,,TOM ARNOLD WAS ON HOWARD STERN LAST WK STILL GETTING HOT YOUNG CHICKS,HAD 1ST KID AT 50 OR SO,SOUND LIKE HE'S STILL COKED OUT ,TALKS 100 MPH WITHOUT TAKING BREATH,,,

It's impossible to buy into the idea that he's chasing down criminals and jumping off roofs.
How about a role as a retired governor?

6.7 million in usa tenth place, compare to the last action hero from 20 years ago made 15 million opening weekend and that was considered a bomb. adjust for ticket price differences and this is arnold's heaven gate.
-
;D wonder what the advertising budget was on the last stand???????????????????????????????????????
-
can't blame them, it's a business idea, there are always suckers who will pay to see their movies, so that's why this will continue to happen,
this is what we can expect from a culture of men admiring other men

Wiggs is spot on. The fact is that we're Schmoes. We need Arnold to have a body that carries him through movies. His acting is shit (apart from cyborgs or robots, where he's actually really good) and has never got better. He can't play the action hero convincingly any more and he has no range to gravitate towards other more interesting roles. He was all physique and one liners.. The body is gone and the one liners are tired.

Bolo Yeung has done a ton of 'mentoring movies'.

Arnolds star has dimmed, unless he comes back in a new terminator flick his basically washed up.
The Last Stand would of pulled the same figures had he not been in it.
