Title: Numbers are in : Arnold vs Russell Crowe !
Post by: Pet shop boys on March 24, 2014, 08:39:25 PM
The moment we all been waiting for ...the third attempt in a row from Arnold to make a blockbuster weekend at the movies!  He has failed with both last Stand and Escape Plan,  this Friday he's back with SABOTAGE while Russell Crowe becomes Noah the biblical character.

who will come on top ?

who dares to give a number to Arnold 's movie this weekend; will he b number one, or fail to make top 5 ?

weekend box office estimate for Sabotage.....anyone ?




WooOSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

One thing to notice from the movie trailer,  Arnold being the only Old guy in his team makes him look even older ....

Sabotage looks like arnolds best film since he's been back, reviews are mainly positive. Noah looks like the usual overhyped cgi shitfest.

You think Sabotage will hit the 20 mil mark on its weekend release?

All I hear since the trailer of Sabotage is on rotation is that Arnold looks too old for that type of film. 

I'll say the movie will make under $10 millions.

Noah will easily make over $25 millions. 



There you have it.

Actually, Arnold was good in it.  I'm more of a Sly fan, but I have to admit that Arnold had the superior performance.

I agree, the point is that the movie didn't make the top 5  on i'ts weekend release....

was a commercial disappointment .

True, But the Son of God (still in theaters) while hasn't flopped is hasn't been a huge hit either.

noah will win.   arnold's movie kinda suck lately.  crowe's will have insanely high production value and i bet every old person that sees movies will see it (in addition to the young ppl that see it).

Post by: hench on March 26, 2014, 02:51:08 AM
They don't suck but rather than go all out they've only nodded at past greatness. When arnold got the gun near the end of escape plan everyone in the cinema went mad expecting commandesque slaughtering but it was over too quick. The mini gun out the back of the bus scene in the last stand was cool, then again, over too quick. The fight in escape plan between arnie and sly should have been epic but was over too quick.
To be classic they need to have standout epic moments rising above what came before.
Sabotage is meant to be very dark and gritty and a totally different role for arnold but the family orientated noah will stomp it infortunately, its girly man era.

Sabotage looks good, but bombed at the box office. I'll definitely check it out on DVD.

As for Escape Plan... It was ok, but they definitely waited too long to do a flick together.
Title: Re: This Friday: Arnold vs Russell Crowe !
Post by: Hulkotron on March 29, 2014, 07:33:15 PM
I thought Escape Plan was great.

Stallone was definitely the lead character though (not Arnold).

Post by: gmflex on March 30, 2014, 06:43:41 AM
Escape plan made over 150 million and was considered a success but it was due
To over seas audience.. North America hasnt been kind to Arnold.. :-\
I heard that Arnold Schwarzenegger salary demands have gone way done..
Apparently he is doing movies just relive his glory days with pay days of 2 - 3 million dollars
Compared when he was asking $15 to $20 million plus a % if the movie did a certain high sales number..

Noah = $15.2 million

So just GetBiggers went to see the film ?  I mean why it did so horribly bad ?

Arnold is still living the 80/90's
I hope they get Christian bale back in the lead role for the terminator franchise
If Arnold plays the lead again.. the movie is doomed / flop

Sabotage is an action packed movie as well...

At the start of Arnold's movie career, he was trying to that Clint Eastwood, "Dirty Hairy" persona.


But Clint Eastwood was able to change as he aged. Clint was great as he got older. He was older in "Unforgiven". He had moments of weakness & vulnerability, but he still turned out to be badass at the end.

Thing is that unlike Clint  , Arnold looks/walks tired in his 60's...Arnold upper body has shrunk also, his belt is above navel now making him look way too Senile .

So foreign distributors are making money are he is too.
he will get paid whether it flops or not.

Movie studios now Sly and Arnie are hit or miss now, there not getting the 20m a movie like they did in the 80's.
maybe 2-5M. (im just guessing)
If I know a film will flop im sure they do too. when stallone was on talk shows promoting "bullet to the head" he rarely spoke about it, he just spoke about his career..it was just a payday to do in between films.

Stallone and the studio knows EXPENDABLE 3 will be a hit. they make em cheap in shitty countries and make all the money back on the weekend. Stallone will take minimum pay and collect on profit.
