Because China is an awful place. That's the only reasonable explanation for a place that made Terminator: Genisys and Warcraft international hits. |

Hey, at least Genisys was the popular one there and not Dark Fart.

The biggest box office flop from the year you were born1985: "Revolution"Warner Bros.A Revolutionary War movie starring Al Pacino sounds ... strange. Seeing the star of films like "Serpico" and the "Godfather" series fighting for the Colonies' freedom perhaps didn't sit well with viewers.The numbers speak for themselves: a $358,574 box-office gross against an estimated $28 million budget, according to IMDb.I've never even heard of this movie. But Revolutionary War movie with Al Pacino? How can I not watch it?

But Revolutionary War movie with Al Pacino? How can I not watch it? Remember A&E's Biography? They talked about this movie. Pacino was so embarrassed by it that he went on a 4-year hiatus. Sea of Love (1989) was his "comeback" movie. |

SnoBorderZero donny PG Cooper19624. In Search of the Castaways - $21.7M 19644. The Carpetbaggers - $28.4M 19694. Le cerveau - $41.6M Huh? In Search of the Castaways is a 1962 Walt Disney Productions feature film starring Hayley Mills and Maurice Chevalier in a tale about a worldwide search for a shipwrecked sea captain. The film was directed by Robert Stevenson from a screenplay by Lowell S. Hawley freely based upon Jules Verne's 1868 adventure novel Captain Grant's Children. In Search of the Castaways was Hayley Mills' third film in the series of six for the Disney Studios. - - - - The Carpetbaggers is a 1964 American drama film directed by Edward Dmytryk, based on the best-selling 1961 novel The Carpetbaggers by Harold Robbins. It stars George Peppard as Jonas Cord, a character based loosely on Howard Hughes, and Alan Ladd in his last role as Nevada Smith, a former western gunslinger turned actor. Carroll Baker, Martha Hyer, Bob Cummings, and Elizabeth Ashley also star. The film is a landmark of the sexual revolution of the 1960s, venturing further than most films of the period with its heated sexual embraces, innuendo, and sadism between men and women, much like the novel, where "there is sex and/or sadism every 17 pages". Two years after this film, Steve McQueen played Ladd's character in a Western prequel titled Nevada Smith. - - - - The Brain (French: Le Cerveau) is a 1969 French comedy film directed by Gérard Oury, about a second train robbery by the brain behind the Great Train Robbery of 1963. It stars Jean-Paul Belmondo and Bourvil as a pair of French petty crooks, David Niven as a British Army officer who is secretly a criminal mastermind and Eli Wallach as a Sicilian mafioso.

Malcolm X (documentary) - $48.1M Dracula 1godzillafan thebtskink Frizzo the Clown DoomsdayBehind the Green Door is a 1972 American feature-length pornographic film, widely considered one of the genre's "classic" pictures and one of the films that ushered in The Golden Age of Porn (1969–1984). Featuring Marilyn Chambers, who became a mainstream celebrity, it was one of the first hardcore films widely released in the United States and the first feature-length film directed by the Mitchell brothers. Though the main focus of the film, Chambers does not have a single word of dialogue in the entire film. The film is possibly the first U.S. feature-length heterosexual hardcore film to include an interracial sex scene. NOTE: Deep Throat, also released in 1972, grossed $45M. Deep Throat was released on June 12, 1972. Green Door on December 17, 1972. Probably why it grossed more despite the former being the more infamous one. 19731. The Exorcist - $232.9M 2.

There it will do battle and hope to become one of the great Chinese Best Picture winners alongside legends like Terminator: Genesys, Warcraft, and The Great Wall. Realistically... Dolittle could be nominated for Visual Effects, Sound Effects, Costumes, Set Design. I mean... what else is there? Dolittle is literally the only "blockbuster" that has come out in 2020. It has an edge in the technical categories. Robert Downey Jr gets the last laugh. |

It's the industry. Dolittle is making money. They're paying attention. But don't worry. I'm sure Coming 2 America is gonna win Best Costumes. You can finally 1-up Doomsday. |

The biggest news is that The Tax Collector was #1 at the box office, so Shia getting tatted up for real was worth it.
"It didn't even make a half million its opening weekend!? FUCK!"
When method acting goes too far...
