>Without a major star, however, it would fall to Spielberg to sell tickets. The director, who can be press averse, proved game, sitting for interviews with Wired and the New York Times, and taking an Entertainment Weekly reporter on a tour of Universal’s backlot (a curious choice given that “The BFG” is a Disney release).
>Unfortunately for the studios and backers now staring at a write down, Spielberg isn’t the draw he once was. “The BFG,” which opened to an anemic $19.6 million, is shaping up to be one of the biggest flops of Spielberg’s career, rivaling “1941,” his bloated World War II comedy.

Is Pedoberg finished?
>>71613285
I hate to break this to you, anon, but Spielberg's been on the box office decline for a decade now.
His best film is "Last Days of the Big Lie". Anyone who disagrees is a plebian faggot
>>71613285
Ever since he had a family his movies have sucked.
>>71613285
What is that rumour about how Spielberg touches things?
>>71613947
Anyone in Hollywood with power touches things. Even Francis Ford Coppola
Wonder how Ready Player One will go.

>bloated
Variety has gone full pleb, 1941 is fucking hilarious.
>>71613751
Has not, and Speilberg is more of an academy winner then box office wizard.
>>71615131
Are you retarded?
>>71613285
As it turns out you actually need to market a movie for people to see it.
>budget of $140 million
>$19.6 million opening weekend
Hopefully the chinks will hate it too.
the youngest daughter literally looks like spielberg in loli form
>>71613285
He's already seen this coming. That's why he took on Ready Player One, which will be promoted with 10x the budget.
>>71613285
BFG? Big Fucking Guy?
>>71615190
i saw advertising for it everywhere, personally
it just doesn't look appealing enough for people i guess

No, I'm just a good goy
his last good film was Catch Me If You Can.
And he made that after several crappy movies, he just lost interest in telling great, fantastic stories and he just got old and now wants to muhh white male privilege muhh 6 billions.
he should just retire and keep to producing stuff for other people.
>>71613285
Why would he think The BGF would resonate with the average moviegoer? It's one of the more obscure Roald Dahl novels - its no Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, or Matilda.
Even the name "BFG" is odd.
>>71615485
>his last good film was Catch Me If You Can.
You talking shit about tintin and the terminal?
>>71615131
>then
>>71615362
now this I would watch
Spielberg has been pushing out dadcore junk since the mid-90s.
'The BFG' is a horrendous name for a movie, they should have just called it 'The Big Friendly Giant.'
>>71613285
What the fuck did anyone expect? We're seeing more animated films now than ever before, people are tired of it unless it offers something new and superb. The BFG just looks weird and unappealing to the average moviegoer.
>>71615485
>his last good film was Catch Me If You Can.
It's been downhill since Swindler's List and you know it.
>>71615485
>his last good film was Catch Me If You Can.
>And he made that after several crappy movies
Between Saving Private Ryan and Catch Me If You Can he only made two flicks: A.I and Minority Report. And Minority Report came out the same year as Catch Me If You Can did. Plus after that he made Munich, a very solid thriller, even if a bit forgettable in the long run.

The title was reason enough alone for this to flop. How does something like that even get passed phase one?
>>71615721
Because that's the name of the book you fucking nigger.
He forgot the first rule
It wasn't capeshit
>>71615827
>implying another born after 2000 has read The BFG
even i didn't want to read it as a kid because it had an ugly big-eared old man on the cover.
>>71613285
Hes become a literally who.
Hasn't made a decent movie since crystal skull
what the fuck is that mixed race abomination on the right
What an ugly looking family
>Jewish
oh that's why.
>>71615131
>Spielberg creates the BO meme with Jaws
>is not a BO wizard
You don't know what you're talking about right?
>>71613285
>flops
>>71615905
>crystal skull
>decent movie
>>71613862
I agree.
>>71615905
Holy shit literally nothing about crystal skull was good.
thats for playing safe and not going full arts
>>71613285
it probably flopped because it's not a remake or capeshit
>>71616332
>not a remake

Pleb
it's a bummer 'cause I saw it the other day and it was really fucking good. theater full of people who enjoyed the hell out of it. I heard more people laughing at once scene in particular than any comedy I've seen in the past decade.
>>71615328
she's more like a hagface substitute for a jewish street whore
fuck off Spieljew apologist
>>71615827
Should have been marketed as The Big Friendly Giant
