Robin Hood - I mean, really, an African-American person in a Robin Hood film? Oh really.... In this tv show, and it is to this very day my personal benchmark, they had an Arab, Nasir, and it worked perfectly well. It could work if it was NOT little John, or one of the other classic members of his brotherhood but some sort of brother in arm/friend from the crusade. Nasir was introduced as sellsword who was hired and brought to England by a Lord who had taken part in a crusade. But diversity is everything today. My only guess is they wanted to kill two birds with one stone and combined some characters into one. The set photos do not instill confidence even if Foxx wasn't involved.

I'm gonna also throw in The Meg, with Jason Statham and Ruby Rose. I mean, I'll probably see it but dunno how much people are clamoring for a giant shark movie.
I was going to mention that IF you or NO ONE ELSE did.

I've added Pacific Rim due to the black lead: I guess the people will get sick of being shovelled this Hollywood agenda down their throat over and over again. And it will certainly not rise te appeal for the Chinese audience...will it run in China at all? More so he is even a bland actor. His contribution to Star Wars was meh at beat. No way that such an actor can carry such a movie as lead. I had loved to see this flick but the black lead is the one reason I won't.

I think โA Wrinkle in Timeโ might tank because Winfrey hasnโt really had a box office hit since โThe Color Purpleโ.

Oprah Winfrey looks disastrous in Wrinkle in time. Like she just walked off the set of RuPaul's DRAG RACE. Lol.

Again, not to sound snobbish or anything but we're at a point in film where people should recognize a bomb just by the costume design. Dude, this costume screams bomb.

A Wrinkle in Time is the big winner so far
Pacific Rim Uprising is a franchise killer Tomb Raider being a franchise non-starter Ready Player One a modest success thanks to China and an ok box office domestically

I think A Wrinkle in Time is the biggest flop of the year. The theater I was in was nearly empty although I did pay to see it in 4D, so that might explain why. Solo: A Star Wars movie was also a flop. There were only three peole in that theater with me.

Wrinkle in Time looks like the flop winner so far. I think audiences are beginning to tire of 'revisionist' tamperings of favorites from their childhoods. There was no particularly good reason to do so with this story, and nothing in the attempt persuaded you that there might be some dimension added to the story by ethnicizing many of the chief characters. Not surprising it crashed and burned at the box office.

If someone wants to watch Robin Hood, watch Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves - 91'. That film hit all the right spots. A great cast, wonderfully executed with some strong violence for a PG13 and the romance aspect wasn't overly mushy. It was on last week. Itโs aged quite well. The fight scenes remain exciting and the sets look great. Alan Rickmanโs Sheriff is still one of the greatest movie villains ever and Iโm not sure how much heโs even remembered for this post-Harry Potter.
