The Lone Ranger is going up against Despicable Me 2, which is a sequel to a film that grossed over $250 million and is still fondly by the children who saw it. The children that are still in the film's demographic. So, I agree with HeadRAZZ and Vheid about The Lone Ranger being a bomb.]]> Mon, 17 Jun 2013 18:56:56 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6203&PID=54985#54985 B.O.

Another factor is which movies are its box office competition. Specially which ones are being released on the same week.]]> Mon, 17 Jun 2013 18:25:37 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6203&PID=54984#54984 B.O.

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Actually, when the material culled for a film's trailer -- which obviously ought to be the best material in the film -- is as piss-poor as what Disney has been showing in their promotional materials for LONE RANGER (materials which, alarmingly, call to mind what used to be Will Smith's Biggest B.O. Bomb, WILD WILD WEST) then it's not exactly unreasonable to assume that the film itself is likely to disappoint. 

Add in the fact that my 17-year-old son (who is the film's target audience) has repeatedly told me that "no one" his age even has any idea who "The Lone Ranger" is, and that he and most of his friends have "no interest at all" in seeing the film, and I'd say Vheid's and my dire predictions are, at the berry least, not entirely unfounded...

Point taken: Will Smith's accent in this movie sounds very forced and unnatural. Also, attempting an "international accent" seems to have reduced Will Smith's concentration on his acting.

An example of why you and Vheid might not be exactly right about the Lone Ranger's prospects. I'm not saying I'm right -- I'm saying don't be so sure until the movie actually comes out.

Didn't you predict Great Gatsby was going to bomb?

RESPONSE from HeadRAZZBerry: Yes, based on industry predictions, I did -- And though it didn't technically "bomb," it still cost a sh*tload to produce and is just now heading into profit (the usual formula is that a movie must make 3x its budget before it even makes back its cost -- GATSBY apparently cost about $105 million to make, and has just broken $300 million worldwide: B.O. MoJo LINK).   

But what has GATSBY got to do with this discussion??

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: I agree with Vheid -- LONE RANGER cost about twice what AFTER EARTH did (estimates run as high as $250 million - LINK) and since it stars Johnny Depp (who rarely has B.O. Bombs) if it were to tank, RANGER would have to be considered the bigger blowout. Also, given that it's arguably a remake of TWO previous RAZZIE® "winners" (1981's LEGEND OF THE LONE RANGER and, inadvertently, our 1999 Worst Picture "winner" WILD WILD WEST) the "Depp dog" also has a better "RAZZIE® pedigree" than EARTH does...

Agreed, but after having seen the trailers for The Lone Ranger (and it's expansive-looking over-the-top special-effects) I think it might take After Earth's place as the biggest bomb of the summer.]]> Mon, 17 Jun 2013 08:03:09 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6203&PID=54978#54978 B.O.

I think After Earth is still the biggest bomb, because it cost SO MUCH to make.]]> Mon, 17 Jun 2013 07:00:20 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6203&PID=54977#54977 B.O.

ONE of OUR MAIN CRITERIA for CHOOSING OUR RAZZIE® CONTENDERS is BOX OFFICE -- and WHAT BETTER WAY to ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THAN with a LINK to B.O. MoJo's YEARLY CHART of the YEAR's BIGGEST (and BADDEST) BOX OFFICE CHAMPS & CHUMPS?

AS THIS IS BEING POSTED, 2013's #1 MONEY-MAKER IS IRON MAN 3, WHICH WUZ RIGHT on the CUSP of CROSSING $400 MILLION at the DOMESTIC BOX OFFICE. THAT MAY CHANGE, BUT ONE THING's CERTAIN: ANYTHING THAT OPENS as a BOMB, STAYS a BOMB! 

HERE's THAT LINK AGAIN to CHECK OUT MoJo's 2013 CHART.

WE ALSO WELCOME YOU to POST ANY COMMENTS YOU MAY HAVE BELOW...
