Latest Cena Film Completely Tanks at Theaters

http://wearemoviegeeks.com/wp-content/legendary-560x375.jpg

Ticket sales went down over 77 % the second week in theaters and theaters only averaged $ 285 this past weekend. :amazed: No wonder it's coming out so soon on DVD.

What, the "coming to DVD" in the first week didn't give it away? :laugh:

They planned the dvd release long before it went to theaters. It's not some reaction to poor ticket sales. They expected that. That's why it's only in like 100 theaters.

apparently there weren't enough privileged people

And this is a surprise to people? :laugh:

Come on people ASF could only watch the movie so many times on his own. He needed more help.

Its only in 100 oe so theaters cause theaters wouldnt pick up this movie which had Fail written all over it.

They took their PG crap too far, noone wants to see a drama starring a WWE wrestler. Going away from action movies I think turned off even the WWE fanbase from going to this one.

I actaually enjoyed that WWE Stone Cold movie, The Condemned. Thats the kind of film they should be making if using wrestlers in starrring roles.

Yeah that's not really how it works, or what happened. This is part of their new release strategy, which was announced before Legendary was even finished. Their movies always make money on dvd, but not in theaters. So, they give the movie a small release, avoid distribution and advertising costs, and release the dvd at basically the same time to maiximize the ad campaign.

Are they going to do that with Knucklehead? They showed a preview on Sunday and it actually looked pretty funny. I'd consider seeing it.

Yep. They actually shot Knucklehead and Legendary back-to-back, as another money-saving measure.

Wrong. They were implementing a campaign to petition your local movie theater to carry it, obviosuly it didnt work out. That shows they wanted it at theaters. Noone wanted to carry this one.

The movie was only in a few theaters so what did you expect lol. It was always coming out on dvd the week after.

How about noone wants to watch a drama with high school wrestling as the back story? Make it football or virtually any other sport and it had a chance. That is the reason why it had Fail written all over it.

Yeah because we haven't seen a million freaking movies about high school football already. Its a wrestler in a movie about wrestling.

lol what campaign? Mentioning something like that on air a couple times? Yeah, real effort their. I'm sure they expected a 1,000 theaters out of that! You're acting like theaters never carry terrible movies. If they wanted it in a wide release, it would have been. All their other films, they went with a major distributor (Fox, Lions Gate). This time, they went with a small indie distributor that does small releases. Of course, I'm sure if the movie did exceptionally well, they would have expanded the release, but they never planned on it. Here's an article from March about it: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3i82424a74b1dd91197917281abbceab4b.

Yes, we have. And do you know why there have been a million freaking movies about high school football? Because football is the most popular sport in the US and some people will go to those movies just because football is a part of it.

On the other hand, amateur wrestling is hardly popular, and as a result, many people won't go see it since that is the backstory. Thus, doomed to fail from the jump.

If you take the exact same plotline, cast, etc and insert football instead of wrestling it most likely would have been more popular just because football was involved.

Thanks... I just passed Diet Mountain Dew through my nose.

I don't know about you guys, but I thought Danny Glover and Patricia Clarkson were going to be the real draws. I guess not enough kids are into them.

Danny Glover has never been a draw. Has he honestly ever headlined a hit movie?

Take the hint

I realize you weren't being serious, but I truly found it baffling that they casted Danny Glover.

The only one I heard of is Cena, obviously, and he is to popular to be in movies with unknowns. Who the hell is Glover and Clarkson?

I really hope you are just joking because if you do not know who Glover is then I wonder what kind of movies you watch.

Glover isn't known I don't know of any movie he is in besides this.

I'll name 500 movie actors better starting with Walhberg. TV actors are more known than Glover lol.

Knuckleheads actually looks decently funny. Not a real theatre worthy movie, but something I'd watch if it was on TV.

You've never heard of the Lethal Weapon series? Really???

The movie that mel gibson made? I didn't realize he was in it thats how bad of an actor he is that i dont even remember him lol.

I didn't know Glover was considered a top actor/favorite to all of you on hf. Maybe you should watch tv/movies more.

You have just admitted you have never seen any of the Lethal Weapon series. I am sure it is you who needs to watch more tv/movies.

Out of curiosity ASF what are your top 10 movies of all time?

I can't really make a list I like a lot of movies and I don't have a favorite. LOTR trilogy is probably top 5. You can judge by some 'movie' actors I like. Some of my favorite actors are Wahlberg (my favorite on the big screen), Matt Damon, Denzel Washington, Liam Neeson, Johnny Depp, Will Smith among others. But this is all big screen.

I'm more of a tv fan though. I like the under rated actors that don't get the recognition they deserve so honestly my all around favorite actor would be Matthew Fox. I like guys like Fox, Terry O' Quinn, Bryan Cranston, Stephen Moyer, Ryan Kwanten, and even Jason Ritter, among others. These guys that don't get the recognition they deserve because they aren't on the big screen enough. But everything they do is spectacular work.

Patricia Clarkson was in Miracle. I don't know how you can be a hockey fan and have never seen that.

Miracle is not CeNation....so he couldn't see it


:sarcasm:

Maybe if Miracle had Cena come out and do the Five Knuckle Shuffle on Tretiak...

I'm still sort of dumbfounded as to how he's never heard of Danny Glover before.

Angels in the mother****ing Outfield!

Winner of the internets

:biglaugh:

i seen miracle a lot and she still a nobody

just a case of actors that get credit because they are on the big screen lolll

Just a heads up that Danny Glover has probably made about 3x the money that Cena has in his life. And when Cena washes out in 4-5 years, Glover will still be making movies that rake in millions at the box office.

FACT: Glover was the lead in a film that was released in 26 theatres (compared to Legendary with Cena in the lead in 177 theatres) which made more than Legendary by approximately $75,000. He also made another film that was released in 23 theatres and grossed over $1,000,000. Embarassing much?

In fact, every movie that Glover has released in over 100 theatres has out-performed Legendary.

To say Glover isn't known is just proving that you must not pay much attention to film. He's an A-List actor, no question. He's been in 20+ films which have grossed $40,000,000 or more. Cena's three (3) movies combined haven't even grossed $40,000,000. :biglaugh:

That's your opinion. I could name actors that drop a movie in 1 theater and out sell Glover lol. Why all the Glover love? he's never in top 100 actor discussions and why would you compare his filmology to Cena's. That's like comparin Cena to Zach Ryder in the wwe lol.

reading the replies in this thread i am pretty happy i used the ignore button. take a look around the boards. it is amazing how many idiotic things have been said and quoted in other posters sigs.

Glover must be on hard times if he has to slum in a WWE production staring Cena.

I can't say that the Marine or this movie were the worst movies I have ever seen, but that is only because I was not dumb enough to watch them.

http://www.funnypictureblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/NotSureIfSerious.jpg

Yep you are trolling my posts its official. Which is the only reason people are backing up Glover because I'm a Cena fan you cant handle truth so u disagree with me.

glove sucks /thread im out of here. let me know when becomes a top notch actor which will never happen

glove sucks /thread im out of here. let me know when becomes a top notch actor which will never happen


Ooohhhh my turn - I bet " glove " becomes a top notch actor a helluva lot quicker then Cena becomes a top notch wrestler. :laugh:

I know man... I put him on ignore a long freakin time ago. People need to start doing it.

Of course, this is just a minor bump in Cena's acting career. No one seems to be giving him credit for this recent, major hit:

Actually people are backing up Glover because he has been in movies people have actually heard of and seen. the only reason I know of movies Cena has been in is cause I watch WWE. if I did not watch WWE, I would not even know who Cena is let alone that he has been in a "movie" (if you can call them that)

I'm still sort of dumbfounded as to how he's never heard of Danny Glover before.

I'm not. Not after he said he idolizes Mark Wahlberg. To those of us the remember him as Marky Mark that is an obvious *GAY ALERT* *GAY ALERT*
