Why is ANYTHING being released on the same week as Star Wars?
How can anyone be that stupid, its box office suicide. Why don't they just reschedule for the weekend after star wars?

It's counter-programming; kids and manchildren go see Pleb Wars, sophisticated adults go see proper films

We had to do a case study of movie release date decisions in business school
They usually try to release on specific days that they know have higher movie theater attendance. Some specific weekends or holidays see 10-20x more people than others. If they choose to compete with a movie on the same release date it's probably because they know they'll still get more views that on that date, even if another movie is stealing a lot of their audience
Doesn't it get released on some random day anyway?

Would have been good if they had gotten a better director and Tom Hardy as Bodhi. No way it'll make it's money back. It's got to make 180 - 220 million to profit since budget is 90 - 110.

I don't know about the others, but personally I'm shilling because I'm being paid to do so by the state of Israel.
