Full Throttle 10/07/17 12:31:56 PM #1:	Are you surprised it bombed? Yes No View Results It looks like the box office prediction got ahead of themselves as grosses are now only at 12.7M Friday for a 32M weekend when they predicted 17-19 based and 46M..it appears the long showtime and confusing sequel has turned off viewers despite the high ratings... let's not forget also that the original movie bombed too... The movie also has a high 155M budget..the movie did worse than Ghostbusters..

You must live under a rock then, there's been a crazy amount of advertising for it.

So you think people were like "Screw that movie it has a future date in its title!". The first movie didn't set the US box office of fire grossing 27 million over its entire run back in 82 which made it the 27th highest box office of films in 1982.

MacrossSpecial 10/07/17 8:13:57 PM #21:	Not surprising. The advertising was probably extremely confusing for people who aren't familiar with the original, people who liked the original probably found the ads confusing as well. Blade Runner was pretty niche back when it was new, movies full of subtext and non-verbal dialog are even more niche these days. --- ...Dude, you're a ****ing douche.
