After a week in wide release, Borderlands has a global haul of less than $19m.

I hope this doesn’t cause them to drop Borderlands 4…

The Crow is already being called a candidate for worst movie of 2024. It’s opened to an estimated $2 million so far against a $50 million budget. I was looking forward to this one for a long time, until the godawful trailer crashed my expectations.

@ANoobis
Even worse than Borderlands?

@ANoobis
It’s easily the worst movie of the past several years. It was a chore going through the whole trailer, in which we see:

Hollywood’s obsession with race swapping characters

Unnecessary sex scene

Gallons of CGI blood that looks fake

Eric and Shelly are in some sort of prison, so this isn’t normal people being murdered for standing up to a slum lord, it’s a gang land rivalry. This isn’t The Crow, it’s John Wick with eyeliner.

Eric Draven is a fuckboy with edgy Jared Leto Joker tattoos

Trailer shows the whole movie

It’s the most tryhard pile of dog shit I’ve seen in a long time. It completely misses the point of the story.

Minecraft is getting a film adaptation.

Terrifier 3 is getting good audience reviews and has already made its budget back during the Thursday previews. I guess with Joker 2 face-planting, people are going elsewhere to get their evil clown action.

Sonic 3 has been getting good reviews from both critics and audiences. It looks like it’s going to bury Mufasa in their domestic joint opening weekend. Mufasa has been getting poor reviews from audiences, which was expected, but also from critics.

@ANoobis
I didn’t know either movie existed.

DC is making a fart fetish comic starring Harley Quinn. Even the art style looks like it was pulled straight from paheal.

Between this and the Star Wars fart wedding from a few years ago, I can’t tell who is winning the race to the bottom.
