    The money spent advertising this movie is astronomical.

    Forget about making mega profits.

    Will they even break even?

      Some of Melissa McCarthy's movies are cringe worthy, but Spy was really funny.

        Unreal. I read he is making Rampage...the old arcade/Nintendo video game into a movie. I mean...whaaaaat?

        The Rock needs to stop making movies. People need to stop watching and paying to see the utter garbage he is in. Ballers is fukkin' terrible. It's worse than Entourage ever was.

          Lol! Jesus,how many people would even remember Rampage to care,what is he thinking.

          Dude needs to just stick with Wrestling,havent seen Ballers but judging by the other stuff he's done ill take your word for it. When he played a Tooth Fairy,I thought he's as bad as Hogan,anything to make a buck.

            I heard The Rock is addicted to needles. Guy blowing up like a balloon.

                  I don't watch most remakes. If they did it so well the first time, there is no reason to redo it other than to potentially make huge bucks off of nostalgia. Being the thrifty, middle aged man I am, I'll stick with the original on the DVD I bought for $3.

                    This doesnt look terrible. Wouldnt pay to see it. But if its an option on an airplane or sometthing, probably would check it out for a few minutes before writing it off.
                    So I did end up paying to see it...

                    Give it a B/B-. Had a few corny parts but was funny enough to keep me entertained the entire way through. Can watch this with family and everybody would be fine. Only real complaint was the villain being generic and uninteresting.

                    PS. Looking back, it's like whoever edited the trailer wanted this movie to fail.

                            One of the best "bad"movies that there is. I remember seeing this in a theater . At one point they started talking in like Chinese or whatever the hell it was. The was a Chinese lady sitting a couple seats up from us. At the parts where they were talking Chinese she was on the floor laughing. Made me laugh wondering wth they were saying .

                                It was a pretty garbage movie the kids will like it tho. I think most movies are shit so my opinion is biased.

                                Whoever said rock only makes shit movies hasnt seen the older movies he is in and more importantly probably havent seen pain n gain that movie its the shit

                                    Soft $46 Million Dollar Opening Weekend.



                                    Paul Feig’s all-female reboot of Ghostbusters has failed to top the US box office with a lukewarm $46m opening weekend.
                                    It’s also envisioned as the start of a new franchise with Sony promising more films to come.The comedy horror, starring Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig, will need to impress international audiences to warrant its $144m budget. Analysts suggest that it will need to make around $300m globally to break even. After almost two years of online anger from fans over the choice to cast four women in the lead roles, the audience was 57% female – a high number for a blockbuster.

                                      Is that like the real trailer? Hey I'm all about wasting 90 minutes on brainless entertainment occasionally but this is seriously just pure sh*t
