Did anybody really want a Lone Ranger movie If anybody did, they're still not getting one. It's a Tonto movie, starring Jack Sparrow Johnny Depp as Tonto, legendary Native American warrior, Tonto. TONTO! WATCH THE MOVIE, DAMMIT! TONTO!

Did anybody really want a Lone Ranger movie My Dad was actually really interested when I told him they were doing one. He is a huge fan of westerns and the old school Lone Ranger. After seeing the commercials for it though, he immediately decided he didn't want to see it anymore.

So WHD and AFTER EARTH were both Sony pictures. Reports say that another bomb could destroy their operations. .........if they survive the summer, we might as well forget about Marvel ever getting SPIDER-MAN back at this point, because they're gonna cling to that money maker forever. How much was Sony really involved with AE? I thought Smith and friends made and produced the movie, Sony was just the distributor.

Lone Ranger really looks likes the producers are hoping to duplicate POTC success story. An adaptation of something that isn't well known like The Pirates ride in Disneyland starring Johnny Depp and the same director tackling a genre that hasn't had lots of box office success in recent years (Pirate movies weren't considered a popular genre with history of bombs.) Problem is POTC got good reviews with strong word of mouth by audiences while the reviews for Lone Ranger haven't been good. Plus Despicable Me is a future power house franchise.

They take some liberties with the origin and stuff, and just the overall tone is more modern (comical, uber-violent) than what someone wanting a Lone Ranger movie might want... I'll give it a shot, eventually. Still, this looks like it's gonna be Disney's new JOHN CARTER fiasco.

This will be two big bombs in a row for Depp. Hoping this means he goes back to smaller films where he actually acts again. Well, there's the new Pirates movie coming out in 2015. So you've got to wait till then. Wasn't PIRATES 4 something of a disappointment (financially, as well as critically)? The sails on the POTC franchise might not be longer for this world if 5 has a repeat performance....

Did anybody really want a Lone Ranger movie I really thought the property was in line with films like The Shadow, The Phantom, and The Rocketeer. Movies based on properties from the 1930's that for some reason can't find an audience. I didn't expect it to do good just based on that fact.

POTC 4 Domestic: $241,071,802 23.1% + Foreign: $802,800,000 76.9% = Worldwide: $1,043,871,802 If the 5th one does as well as the 4th one it be no problem I immediately realized I forgot to put in "Well, I know it made a lot of money, but..." Honest! But looking at all 4, the domestic takes dropped off after 2 ($305m => $423m => $309m => $241m), with Stranger Tides being the lowest. Overseas SAVED 4; that foreign take was much more than all the others. They'll really have to hope for a continuation of increasing overseas business if 5 falls off from where 4 was.

On The Lone Ranger more and more friends were telling it was good I would like it Like I said the only way The Lone Ranger will succeed is if the audiences love the movie and strong word of mouth or strong international box office like Angels and Demons or 2012 or POTC 4. I just don't think it'll duplicate POTC because there was a strong cult following for Johnny Depp and this was the movie that made him into a A Lister Hollywood star and people are getting sick of Depp has type casted himself ever since and nobody really knows who Arnie Hammer is except for one of the smaller supporting characters in The Social Network. It's going to be a problem for RDJ soon as well if he keeps typecasting himself as funny charming eccentric smart asses who had a very similar career as Depp

Welp, Disney's probably wishing they'd kept THE LONE RANGER cancelled. $48.9mil since the holiday, $29.4 opening weekend (JOHN CARTER opened bigger, at $30.1mil), $24mil foreign take so far. ........as word of mouth isn't very stellar, and unless there's a huge surge from overseas audiences (there could be - I think U.S. westerns are still kind of a thing in Europe) this is another huge summer 2013 bomb. Meanwhile, DESPICABLE ME 2 has made almost double its production budget back already. $142.1mil since July 4th.

What the hell is Kevin Hart let me explain? It's basically a stand-up comedy movie. It made $10mil off of a limited release, $11k per screen. That's bleeping impressive.

Saw White House down on Friday. Thought it was a lot better than I expected given how brutal the reviews were I know there is lots of brutal reviews on it based on the political overtones of the film or in the trailer plus how there was already two movies this year when the White House got taken over. I haven't seen the film and I won't get anymore based on politics. Good to see Pacific Rim having a good projection and Adam Sandlers star power maybe fading away. I've been harsh on the movie based on the trailers and hype but its always for an original film to make tons of money.
