Do we think this film will be a hit or a flop? The trailers looked silly and over the top. What do we expect the box office to be. I heard the budget is ridiculous high so it could be hard to make back it's budget. Beside, Matt Damon is proven to be box office poison.
shareRight now I think it will be lucky to break even. It supposedly has a 150 million dollar budget and so far had only grossed around 200 million. From what I've heard it underperformed in China were it was supposed to bring in its biggest money. I doubt it will be a huge hit in the US.
I don't think the film's failure has much to do with Matt Damon though. I think it has to do more with the film itself.

What's your point?
shareI'm still gonna see it next weekend. Just looking for a big dumb action movie spectacle till Fate of the Furious comes out.
shareI've watched it. It's beautiful, but oh so dumb. Really dumb. Like all those thousands of Chinese warriors living inside the wall (!) were dumb, then came this one guy and showed them all how dumb they had been for 1700 years.
This movie has so many problems I could write a book about them.
Mediocre outcome. Chinese movies with much smaller budgets (The Mermaid, Monster Hunt etc) earned much more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films_in_China

There are reports that it's a bomb and has lost 80 million.
Even though it has grossed 321 million worldwide on a 150 million budget.
330 million worldwide gross on a 150 million budget...
plus millions from home video, streaming, cable, tv, etc...
Minutes into watching this movie online, and not knowing what it was about, I was really liking it.
It was consistent with the action scences and I plan to watch it again very soon.
I expected it to be a bigger hit. It did well at the box office, but the numbers aren't too impressive. It got a bad reputation which it doesn't deserve cause it's a very entertaining movie to watch.
