The filmmaker, who also wrote and produced Charlies Angels and stars in the movie as Bosley, called out a potential box office bomb as being sexist. Look, people have to buy tickets to this movie, too. This movie has to make money, she said. If this movie doesnt make money it reinforces a stereotype in Hollywood that men dont go see women do action movies.

thats cute, the movie wasn't advertised, has only one relatively named actress as one of its main characters and we're blaming men

okay honey, sure thing.

I saw plenty of trailers for it before movies but I've been to the theater more often than most people this season probz. They probably could have advertised better outside of theater trailers.

Charles Angles were Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Lui

Wait you mean that one sold because it had actual popular actresses?

I dont wanna see Kristen Stewart in an action movie tbh.

I really like Elizabeth Banks but I dont want her to go down the Amy Schumer route of "everyone hates it because I'm a woman"

Don't move the goalposts about Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel because of the genre

That may be the most blatant case of "like this movie or you're sexist" I've seen.

So ridiculous. Her argument is essentially: "My movie failed, therefore discrimination." Maybe it was just a shitty idea to make another Charlie's Angels.

If she's so concerned about sexism, and so convinced that the other movies only succeeded because they were essentially male-dominated, it's hard to understand why she would choose a title that quite literally labels the women protagonists as possessions of a man...

Man From UNCLE flopped too.

Movies reboots of old TV shows are a risky bet. Even the old Charlie's Angels reboot didn't really know what audience they were going for.

She's really delusional. It was never a huge IP in the first place, the previous movies were decent box office successes because they had real stars in them.

Even if only woman showed up to the movie . Which made them 8 million. If men showed in equal numbers up it would be 16 million and still a flop. Shame Elizabeth Banks is being a moron and can't admit her own mistakes.

I wonder what her excuse is for the Hunger Games' success. It has a female action lead being regarded as the Messiah. I guess everyone went to see those movies for her awful love interests.

Well, she's wrong.

Can that be the end of it, or do we need 400 Quartering videos on this movie before we as an internet based society can move on?

I think theres something of a point there, like those movies probably wouldnt have done as well if they werent part of a bigger context. But those were also movies people actually wanted to see and they came with real hype and real promo.


I mean at the time, nobody gave two ducks about the DC movies or the Justice League. The brand was pretty infamously damaged.

i think that Wonder Woman did well at all is something of an achievement, considering what it was following >_>

Whoa a movie based on a tv show, geared towards women, that didn't shit the box office!

Downton Abbey is geared towards women?

Okay.

The original 2000 film made 265 mil. That had 3 huge A-list (at the time) actresses as well as Bill Murray.

Full Throttle made 259 mil. Again, 3 huge A-list actresses.

Funny how maybe a series based off an IP that nobody cares all that much about, 15+ years after the last movies, with only 1 "A-list actress" that is divisive as hell didn't really hit that hard.

I don't think three A-Listers would have made a difference either. I think the days of going to see a movie because of an actor are done.

I think it's simply because nobody really cares about Charlie's Angels outside of maybe the gay community.
