Ehhhh overseas bo seems to favor the dumb flicks though... probably won't happen, but still, gotta keep the low budget in mind when considering flop status.
Legendary AF: Hellboy (2019)
- Thread starter Kai "the spy"
- Start date
A couple of things... low production costs, sure, but, let's not forget advertising. AND, studios don't get as much of a percentage of the box office back from foreign markets as domestic.
It's a flop.
Unless, some how, it's amazing in China.... Wait, is it even opening in China?
Here's a list of foreign markets it has opened in... https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&view=byweekend&id=hellboy2019.htm
It did the best in the UK at 1.3ish million dollars.
Hellboy has already been pulled from all the local theaters two weeks in to make room for more Endgame screenings. More people are seeing Breakthrough apparently.
I'm pissed at Lionsgate for obviously not wanting to make another movie with Del Toro and Perlman and instead putting out this crap nobody wanted to watch.

Apparently a theater in Tennessee called the movie 'Heckboy' on their marquis to spare the eyes of little kids.
This fact has amused me more than all the trailers combined so... there's the problem.

I doubt it, I think they're pretty strict when it comes to violence and gore in the movies they import. The whole Hell thing might also might be a sticking point, but I'm not sure.
That and Deadpool
Gosh darn it, that's what I meant to type in the first place!
Oh, so now he's willing to talk about the movie...

Not holding my breath to ever hear Neil Marshall talk about it, though.

I like how he quickly sneaks in it has major problems in the middle of defending it as being unfairly dismissed against vanilla, er, chocolate Marvel movies.
That a very retro display.
Still haven’t seen the movie. I’ll have to wait until it’s out on iTunes I suppose now.
Harbour certainly makes a case in this interview. Not much of one. But, it’s a case. I don’t know if I would go with “we aren’t as tasty as a Marvel” as a defense, but...
I haven’t seen it, not going to with those reviews. Well. If it’s on TV for free then I’ll take a look. Maybe.
Finally saw it. It was nowhere near as bad as I was expecting, but still not particularly great. This whole thing is just a big damn shame. We didn't get a capper to the GDT movies, this one wasn't very good, and it made so little money that they won't get to do a cheap sequel to learn from their mistakes. I wonder if I'll still be alive when we finally get more live action Hellboy.
I’m sorta at the place of: meh, maybe Hellboy isn’t meant to be a thing outside of the comics. Not everything needs a movie and a tv show.
How dare you suggest such a thing!
I haven't read the comics, but I thought del Toro did a good to great job with his two films. I just wish he was able to complete the trilogy.

Yeah, completion would be nice.
I stopped reading them after awhile, the story meandered.
