"Danny Ocean's estranged sister Debbie attempts to pull off the heist of the century at New York City’s star-studded annual Met Gala."

"Damian Lewis as the main villain, Debbie's ex-lover and the target of the gang's robbery"

Ocean's Eight is just a liiiiiittle too on the nose

I was all for a female Ocean's Eleven until I saw the plot synopsis. Not saying it wont' be good, but it really left a lot to be desired.

I'll probably still see it because I like the cast and have a thing for slick heist movies, but yeah it does seem to be trying too hard.

If they're all teenage girls, how can we make Auron still the older voice of experience?

The general rule for big budget movies is to double their budget to account for advertising. Ghostbusters 2016 cost 144 million and made 229 million. Admittedly, part of this was because it didn't air in China.

Even if we assume it broke even, they planned to make a spinoff, that's why the movie opens with the logo for "Ghost Corps," they wanted a cinematic universe. That movie has had no more word since. At best they were obviously disappointed with it.

Yeah, probably so.

If that's disappointing, I can't wait to see the disappointment from the new Mummy.

Also this is why we need a box office discussion thread again

It's disappointing, but didn't lose money. Tragically Tom Cruise is super popular in China for some reason, so they rescued it.

Yeah, but if you take Tom Cruise out of that, I think it spells doom for the entire Monsterverse. Which will be how the next film goes.

The director said it needed 400 to 500 million just to break even because they spent too much on advertising.

Quistus was only like two years older than the rest of 8's cast, and she was supposed to be their instructor and guide them through stuff. If she had been a little more assertive after the opening mission, it might have worked, too.

Auron is 18, the others are 14-16

She can't be too much older than the others or else the story wouldn't make sense.

Not that it actually does make sense, but it would be even less internally consistent.

It's not about not making sense (for me), it's just...her demeanor and design make me think of someone in their 20s.

Actually, I'd just be happy with a Final Fantasy game where the mentor character is a grizzled, middle-aged woman who can still kick ass.

That's part of the point of her character - she's acting a lot older than she really is.

Missing a chunk of memories due to equipping an eldritch creature probably doesn't help with that.
