The sci fi pic underperformed heavily in the USA and was particularly despised in Asia where it did 12 million in China and less than 3 million in South Korea. Poor Alcon Entertainment bet the farm on Blade runner and now has nothing to show for it. On the eve the film’s Oct. 6, Kosove and Johnson told The Hollywood Reporter that the movie would need to earn $400 million globally to be a win. “This is a chips-in-the-center-of-the-table exercise," Kosove said at the time. www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/blade-runner-2049-losses-could-hit-80-million-producer-alcon-1055855 |

That really sucks. It was an amazing movie and more people should've seen it.

Sad to hear. In retrospect they could've marketed it better, since they apparently overestimated the popularity of the original Blade Runner among the general young audience. Still, I hoped a movie like this would've been rewarded for its ambition and quality. Maybe it'll happen during the awards season. Whatever happens, it'll remain one of my favorite movies of the last years.

Whoever did the marketing for Dunkirk was the guy they needed.

Mainstream sci fi is a hard sell.

Some movies, for me, are best enjoyed on a quiet evening with no distractions except for refilling your scotch and soda. Not in a theater.
