Next next Bond better be a pansexual transgender. Then every Bond movie can have a Bond Girl and Boy.

I'm already seeing the usual "Jane Bond" nonsense that has been popping up since the '90s, now with entertainment media pushing Charlize Theron for the role.

$18 million and #1 at the box office. Hardly a flop for something they expected to be in theaters less than 2 weeks.
18 million is hardly that much. It's a critical flop as expected. In terms of revenue though, it shows how incredibly weak the summer movie season has been thus far when it comes to domestic box office returns.

It's decent bank for a goofy genre movie that was literally made to be buried in August. I doubt anyone expected it to make even half that.

For a while everyone thought it would make $20-$25 million this weekend but now the projections have dropped to $18 million. This isn't good. Plus there's no doubt it'll completely drop-off after this weekend so foreign markets are the only thing that can save it and that probably won't work out since foreign markets don't give a shit about The Dark Tower novels or Idris Elba. Hell, no one gives a shit about Elba. He isn't a star, he's a television actor who's overhyped by the media. Sony are probably going to end up losing a lot of money.

You can't always have Tim Curry or Jack Nicholson around to save your ass.

How stupid would it be if the movie somehow becomes a hit in China?

Imagine spending a billion US dollars to be a loser. Could've watched animu and be one for free.

No idea, but Sony would probably like to in hopes of making at least some profit out of this.

Elba is way too old to play Bond anyway. Not that it matters. The series has been crap since Skyfall and likely will only get worse.
Lol, wut? The series has had 1 movie since then.
