Where do you guys get this info? I hope there are video footage of the actors being interviewed about their movie bomb.
There is video footage of him saying it.
link it.
-Forget it, i’ll search it myself
it was nowhere near as bad as ppl made it out to be. it wasn’t terrible…it wasn’t great. it was ok.
(That’s nice. Just because you liked the movie doesn’t mean other people are wrong for disliking it and vice versa.)
Anyway, I forgot to post this in here even though it’s not illuminating anything about the apparent behind the scenes drama. It’s just a Screen Junkies chatting about the possible science in movie:

Ofc Fox would cheap out on this shit. They lack the balls or confidence to make a FF movie work. So they went cheap with a supposed chance to make a decent box office profit while keeping the rights away from Marvel, two birds with one stone. Problem is they failed pretty damn hard on the former while barely achieving the latter.
i never said that i liked the movie and i never said that ppl are wrong for disliking it…
I’m hearing even with overseas sales they still lost over $30m on this stinker. That’s approximately 25% of it’s budget.
This is getting pretty funny how there are plenty of people out there that think this is trainwreck is Marvel’s doing. Probably the media’s fault for starting every news story with “Marvel’s Fantastic Four” and never mentioning Fox at all. lmao
Fox won’t go ahead with a sequel. They only saying they are to save face. They won’t shit on their own movie while it’s still in theaters. They have to wait on how well it does on home video and demand before making the final decision on this turd.
Hollywood traditionally considers a movie a bomb if it doesn’t make at least 3x what it cost to make. Even 2x is kinda hazy for them. To lose like 1/4 to 1/2 your estimated budget, and get hammered with this level of media scrutiny, is bad. Nobody will want to work with Fox, knowing that they are making movies that suck on purpose, to keep trademarks. Would you want to be an actor in a Fantastic Four movie made by Fox now, knowing all this shit? Knowing your career could die for being merely INVOLVED?
Literally, the only hope they have now is to bargain the rights back to Marvel, and somehow come out ‘winners’
Burh…seriously…I have not laughed this hard in months. Christ.
Movies have many revenues to earn money. Being successful on home video have saved a couple of movies. 2004 Punisher movie was a bomb but was a major success on home video. Successful enough to greenlight Warzone. Every WWE Studios theatrical release been far more successful on home video then the box office. It’s why they release their crap direct to video now. After all the shit that’s been thrown at this movie I doubt anyone would want to own it. Two years from now I can Fox spamming this shit on FX.
This summer, enjoy the shitty marvel movie marathon, only here on FX!!!
(continues to wait patiently for Fant4stic to fall out of theaters so that Marvel can get it back)
Yeah, FOX is just saying the sequel thing to save face…at least that’s what most would hope. Then again, FOX may well be stubborn enough to try to hold onto out mostly out of desperate spite. They’ve done dumber shit before after all, even if Fant4stic could potentially make some money back in other venues, though I doubt it given all the bad reviews it’s been justifiably getting.
On the one hand, I’d much rather we got this version of the movie than the dreck we got. On the other hand, getting the version of the movie we got basically “guarantees” that Fantastic Four goes back to Marvel where it belongs and that we can get a version of this script shot by the people over at Marvel Studios who have proven themselves to be mostly competent.
Either way, it would be nice if scripts stopping trying to empower Doom at the same time as the Fantastic Four, even if they’re going with the Ultimates’s origin since cosmic rays are somehow mundane now.
Similarly, I never said you said people were wrong for disliking it, though you at least implied that people were doing that by exaggerating how bad it was. Also, what does “it was ok” mean if you didn’t like it then? That it was so thoroughly bland that “it was ok” is literally all you can say about it? If that’s the case, then I’d personally count anything being that bland as “bad” still.
I don’t see Fox holding onto this, as there is no guarantee of it going back to being profitable while in their hands, and it could fuck them over with regards to any potential future deals with Marvel. If Deadpool takes off, that gives them two strong Marvel franchises that require access to Marvel characters in order to stay profitable in the long run.
You know what.
I’m going to go with friends.
Smuggle in some alcohol.
Watch this shit and do our damdest to tough it out until the end credits.
What are the chances any of us making it out with sanity intact?
Very high.
Chances of you guys not turning your phones back on and screwing on them for 87 minutes?
