      Because it’s not doing anything box office wise. I only really cover top 10 or films that have been in the top 10. Their release for that film has been awful

      I saw that on the Numbers and kinda laughed. But, I bet there are some theaters needing some variety. I actually liked the movie. But why would you pay $10/seat to go see *that* movie in the theater.

    Mean Girls is a musical version of the original, which was made into a Broadway musical. Much like Hairspray back in the day: movie, Broadway musical then film of the musical. It was better than I thought...if you like musicals. The trailers really did not convey this oddly.

    I went and saw Memory and The Beekeeper this weekend. Memory had an interesting premise and Jessica Chastain and Peter Sarsgaard I thought had good performances but the narrative didn't click with me and thought some of the cinematography was middling. I really enjoyed The Beekeeper. It's a fun Jason Statham action film. Yeah it has some faults that one could nitpick but I didn't mind cause I just went into it for the action and it delivered for me
    Also one thing to remember with Mean Girls is that initially it was supposed to be a streaming film released exclusively on Paramount+ but Paramount decided to give it a theatrical release so they must've thought it was good enough for that

    I loved Jason Statham in a lot of earlier works like Snatch, Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Transporter etc. But I feel he's just a one-trick pony who's gotten a little dull.

    I don’t get your issue with Mean Girls. It’s not meant to be a remake or a reimaging. It’s a version of the stage show which is a musical which the original wasn’t in the same way Hairspray was. Musicals are not a huge draw so I think the first week is impressive.

    Hearing Beekeeper had a 36M budget. I went and saw it. Definitely a solid action flick. I enjoyed taking my boys to see it. But, honestly, $10/seat for tickets (matinee only for me these days) and about $10/person for popcorn/drinks... a decent action flick is the minimum for my family to go out to the movie. $80 for the 4 of us. I really wish those prices would cool off a bit at the refreshment stand... but I get it.
    My movie at 2pm on a Saturday was almost completely full though. Beekeeper should be profitable if this holds up I bet.

      @@TwistedReality13 Yeah, agree with that. Was like an early Pixar film. Still think they sold out a little when they made Toy Story 2. A fine film, but never been a fan of their sequels over their original stories. Certainly a sad day when they were bought out by Disney.

      The only thing "Woke" about it is some of the humour being toned down for "Modern Audiences". But other than that it's a musical that I've heard is good but nowhere near as good as the 2004 movie.

    Beekeeper was alright movie. Its movie where you just turned your brain off while Jason Statham dose his magic (Also my Dad loves Jason Statham that why I went to see it with him). I didn't bother going to see Mean Girls, its a remake that wasn't needed. Meanwhile Godzilla Minus One is on its way out leaving the theater by Jan 18th but not without leaving some damage to BO. It crossed 50M dollars Domestic and it appears that it had crossed 100M WW making a milestone for Toho!

    Im surprised the zombies are still watching Aquaman 2..... Granted it will still flop (regardless of how the medias try to get us to believe otherwise, 400 million to break even? Yeah right 🙄😂) I figured people would have enough respect for themselves in Johnny Depp to not see it because of Amber Heard. Sad really.

      @Hedgehobbit considering the movie came out in theaters and streaming at the same time. It still made 402 milion worldwide. Not anything mindblowing in terms of numbers, but most were expecting it to do worse based on Villeneuve previous movies at the box office.
      Part 2 is a theatrical exclusive movie so its going to most likely outgross Part 1.
