Considering that there was literally nothing else out besides Dunkirk and the Spiderman movie that had been in theaters for weeks already, this is about what you would expect.

Not to mention Tartakovsky's other upcoming movie, 'Can You Imagine'

he honestly should just tell sony to fuck off after he is done with hotel transylvania 3

im sure most of the other studios would be glad to have him

There's a reason why almost every movie advertisement says that their film is "The #1 Movie in America!!!!". This movie did like shit.

It also did extremely poorly.

To be fair, it also had the worst opening ever for 4000+ theatres. It also had a terrible hold over the weekend, almost half was from Friday alone. I think there's basically a $20 million floor for these super mainstream targeted animated films.

Just about every kid these days has a phone or tablet or has at least used one in the family. Kids like the emojis and somebody there must have thought they could make an Emoji movie and make easy money. Popeye definitely looks better and likely would have been a far better movie, but maybe they thought it would be hard to sell? I mean Popeye has to at least be from the 1930s-40s (maybe even earlier?). Popeye is cool and all, but I dunno how well you could market him these days while the Emojis have had all kinds of toys and shit. I've even seen pillows of the turd one.

I knew who Popeye was when I was a kid. And I wasn't born in the 30s-40s.

It seems like it's easier for kids today to watch his cartoons what with cable channels showing them and being able to look them up on youtube.

Nah, what happened was a new person took over Sony's animated film division, and as often happens in those cases in order to "make their mark" they canceled a bunch of the previous person's projects to make room for their own. That's why Popeye died

Is he still on cable? I know when I was a kid they still had some of his cartoons on and there was the Robin Williams movie. I honestly don't know if he's appeared in anything since then so maybe I'm out of the loop here

I think the only reason anyone would feasibly go to such a turd would be to appreciate its badness. In other words, they hope to ascertain their feelings that it would fall into the "so bad it's good" category. However, with something this awful, many such individuals will rue spending money that would only serve to invalidate their hypothesis, as it turned out to be just bad.

Atomic Blonde is not good, so it seems fair

Picture if somebody went "What if John Wick pretended to be deep and had a million twists just for the sake of having twists."

That is Atomic Blonde.

The graphic novel probably handles the twists better, if they're the same. The movie just kinda rushes it all and it's just like... Why?
