Thinking about Robin Hood (2018) or Mary Queen of Scots (2018)?

Thinking about Robin Hood (2018) or Mary Queen of Scots (2018)? The latter rather belongs to the early modern period and the new Robin Hood movie doesn't seem to want to be "medieval" judging by the trailers. |

Robin hood (2018) will likely bomb. The trailers look awful.

I do like The 13th Warriror, but gee, the budget was that big?! It sure doesn’t look it. It was a weird unwieldy production. This is from Wikipedia:
Originally titled Eaters of the Dead, production began in the summer of 1997, but the film went through several re-edits after test audiences did not react well to the initial cut. Crichton took over as director himself due to the poor test audience reception, causing the release date to be pushed back over a year. The film was re-cut, a new ending added, along with a new score. Graeme Revell was replaced by Jerry Goldsmith as composer. The title was changed to The 13th Warrior.[7]
The budget, which was originally around $85 million, reportedly soared to $100 million before principal photography wrapped. With all of the re-shoots and promotional expenses, the total cost of the film was rumored to be as high as $160 million, which given its lackluster box office take (earning US $61.7 million worldwide), made for a loss of $70–130 million.[2]
If true, this would have put it on par with Wild Wild West as one of the most expensive films of 1999.

Yesterday I didn't see that you actually wrote some comments mixed into the quote, but as hardball recently said: "Rule of thumb is a film needs to make double its budget to profit." Therefore, these two movies by Ridley Scott were definitely not successful, when they were shown at the theaters, but maybe the DVDs and other sales were so strong laterthat it became profitable. Personally, I didn't like as it reflected anti-catholic/anti-European bias.

These are my favorite type of movies because i like the weapons so it's a shame so many suck. That said if done right and if you include fantasy they are among my favorite movies. Gladiator, braveheart, and the lotr trilogy are all masterpieces. That nee robin hood is going to blow though lol.
I forgot the name of the one coming out on netflix with chris pine as robert the bruce but that one looks pretty good. I have high hopes anyways.

I liked 13th Warrior and don't understand why it did so badly, unless, as someone on this thread commented, it was because one of the leads was an Arab and the other was Spanish.
It was a pity about Timeline and Robin Hood. They could have been so much better, and whoever thought it was a good idea to have Guy Ritchie take on the Arthurian legends must have been delirious.

Imagine what direction that supposed film franchise would have gone if it was a hit after all. Six movies later, King Arthur is fighting space vampires on the moon. |
