Just Mercy 10/10

For every 9 people who have been executed in the U.S.,
One person on death row has been proven innocent and released,
A shocking rate of error.

I wonder what that rate would be in Nigeria.

Miggs:

Before the popularity of live action comicbook movies in the past 18 or so years,fervent readers of comicbooks were generally viewed by folks in the mainstream as weird,geeky,socially awkward people.There is nothing great about being seen as geeky or weird.So quit the status jockeying.Afterall,comicbook movies sell more cinema tickets to non comicbook readers

True, fair enough.
But there are still places were Comic book readers are viewed as nerdy or weird. It's just the movies have significantly raised awareness in places like North America and Europe. Now it looks cool to be a comics geek unlike before.

But here in Nigeria you'll get jeered for that by regular folks. Sometime around December last year a very close neighbor of mine poked fun at my Facebook background cover photo— saying why do I like using cartoonish characters; funny thing is it was Joker's(film) photo. I was too embarrassed to reply, I only just gave her a weak foolish smirk.
Yep, there is definitely nothing great at being seen as a nerd, geek or weirdo.

My 2020 Top 10 Fated/potential Blockbuster Movie FLOPS ................................what's yours??

Every year has it's Winners and Losers at the box office. Some blockbusters which look like surefire bets at times turn out FLOPS; some are Fated to flop, some just outright disappoint and turn flops. Without further ado, here's my "potential FLOP" list in no particular order.
NB: It's just predictions and necessarily doesn't mean it'll turn out exactly as predicted. Just for fun and general Box office outlook.


Sonic: The Hedgehog..... (Paramount)
Just seems Fated to flop, even moreso after it's extra expenses in redesign of Sonic after fans backlash on an estimated $90mn production budget.


Bloodshot....... (Sony)
This looks like an outright FLOP from the Valiant Comics adaptation. Nothing spectacular to draw general public in. Not even Vin Diesel can save it.


The New Mutants ......(Fox/Disney)
This one is a Bloody FLOP with it's numerous change in release dates (4 times)— something we could have seen since 2018! Disney seems Fated to continue losing on this Fox buyout for a while.


Artemis Fowl ....... (Disney)
Looking like a potential FLOP.


Fantasy Island ........ (Sony)
Potential FLOP.


Ghostbusters: Afterlife ...... (Paramount)
Outright FLOP in the making!


Monster Hunter ....... (Sony Screen Gems)
Gonna FLOP. Game adaptations for live action movie have a history of not doing too well at the box office. Even the Director of this movie have a not so glamorous game adaptation history. Although things might be different for Sony's December "Uncharted" movie starring Tom Holland.


Coming To America 2 ......... (Paramount)
Possesses some potential FLOP vibes, coming after 32 years for a sequel! And Eddie Murphy's lost his box office mojo/clout.


GI Joe: Ever Vigilant .......(Paramount)

Possesses outright FLOP vibes.


Dune .......... (Warner Bros.)
Potential FLOP especially since the first live action adaptation was a Flop. I'm hard pressed to include this in my LIST. I honestly don't see it as an outright flop but maybe a lesser disappointment cause of it's Killer CAST. That CAST alone is "Butt in Seats" guaranteed, also Denis Villeneuve has some critical pedigree. Even the release date pushed to December holidays makes it a likely HIT, with slight competition in a season with no Star Wars or clear Box office Juggernaut except The Croods 2.


PS: I just feel this is the most likely WB blockbuster movie to be a FLOP— even a better candidate Flop than Kong vs Godzilla. I just included it to make it more Transparent, objective and seemingly Unbiased.




** Seems Universal escaped...hmmm. it's looking like a super duper YEAR for Universal. IMHO. OOH I FORGOT DOLITTLE, it's out already and a FLOP TOO.

I don't know in what world you think Coming to America will flop.

Eddie starred in Dolemite is My Name and it did very well and had raving review.. Although it a Netflix movies. Eddie hasn't lost his star power. Coming to America is an iconic movie.. And that alone is the selling power, people would want to see what the sequel has to offer, how the characters had changed and developed over the year, It doesn't matter if it 32 years too late, it would do well. I bet if Bad boy 3 hasn't been released you would have said it would flop because it coming out 17 year later.

Lol, I never predicted Bad Boys for Life to fail.

Coming to America is bloody not in any fvcking most anticipated movies of 2020. Even top 20 sef e no reach.

LMAO $500mn if it makes that gross it will be a miracle. $350mn sef na war. Its only nostalgia sake that might save it, depending on it's budget.

If you read my lingua well u will see where I said "potential" not necessarily meaning it's gonna flop hard. Movies I seriously thought were going to flop I stated it clearly.

Wait until trailer drop and marketing start. With enough marketing and promotion they would smile to the bank.

Genre: Drama


For every 9 people who have been executed in the US, one person on death row has been proven innocent and released, a shocking rate of error. The bolded is nothing but fallacious.

A gripping flick about a real life event. Screenplay was brilliant, acting & directing were flawless, Foxx really made me tear up at that ending. And to think that the Sheriff, Sheriff Tate who put McMillian through the hellish 6 years of psychological trauma wasn't held accountable for his actions, was quite unacceptable. McMillian & 160 others were Lucky to be among the people from death row who have been proved innocent and released in the modern era. How i wish this was applicable before this era, folks like George Junius Stinney, Jr, wouldn't have been killed just like that.

I disagree with everything you wrote there, and I would like to address them all, alas, I have neither the motivation nor the propensity to work the keyboard right now, so I'll only address your first "prediction" as succinctly as possible.

Sonic the Hedgehog will be a relative box office success story for this simple reason;

Valentine's day and President day premiere dates:

Like the prosperous Bad Boys for Life that opened over Martin Luther Jnr 4-day holiday weekend, the Paramount movie is aiming to benefit greatly too from the boost of people being off from work for 4 solid days.

Bottom line, Sonic The Hedgehog getting it's premiere date pushed forward from November 8, 2019 to February 14, 2020 is a possible blessing in disguise.

+++++++++++++++++++++

This is why it's sagacious to study current trends afore making a prediction. It's easy to undervalue films you don't like, but if/when you critically study current trends circumventing the undervalued films, things would look very different indeed.

True. Fair enough.

Sonic is looking good in recent box office tracking with around $45mn debut. It might be good enough to turn profit.


It seems my prediction is turning to horseshit! grin

I haven't seen much horror Flicks, but i could tell that the plot was very original.
Funny enough, the scary sh.it doesn't start immediately, you might even be like WTF is this flick headed, but trust me, when it eventually kicks off, it never stops till the very end, & being a faint hearted fellow that i am, i was scared sh.itless all through.
