It has been over a year since Wayfinder was originally released for early access on PlayStation and PC, and it has had a relatively rough time throughout this past year.
Whether it be from the game being removed from stores for a temporary period or Digital Extremes no longer being the publisher for the title, there have been plenty of issues for the title that nearly led to its demise.
Luckily these issues have been resolved and the game is looking better than ever as plenty of new mechanics, locations, characters, and systems have been added to improve upon the title.
Wayfinder Has Returned to Stores With a New Lease on Life
It has been a rough year for Wayfinder as the developers have been working hard to create a new experience for players to enjoy with this title after learning from its early access release back in August 2023.

Minecraft’s movie teaser has been recently released and it currently looks like a bleak reimagination of the game. It is also being criticized currently for one scene included in the trailer that is defying the fundamentals of the game.
The scene that does not fit well with the lore of the game needs to be fixed as soon as possible if the movie does not want to be subjected to the same fate as that of Borderlands.

If Minecraft does not want to go down the same well as Borderlands’ recent adaptation, it needs to fix this one scene in the film that features Piglins in the Overworld where they are not supposed to exist according to the game’s lore.

What happens when you mix the zany energy of Jack Black, the commanding presence of Jason Momoa, and the pixelated charm of Minecraft? You get A Minecraft Movie, coming to theaters next year.
The film, helmed by the quirky genius behind Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre, Jared Hess, is set to be a mosaic of comedy and action. Alongside Black and Momoa, we’ll see talents like Emma Myers, and Danielle Brooks bring to life the world of one of the bestselling games in history.

The recent Minecraft movie trailer that dropped just yesterday has left many fans scratching their heads. People expected something fun, creative, and maybe even a bit crazy, but what they got was a total mess.
The film looks more like a bad CGI experiment than something that should’ve brought the fun world of Minecraft to life. The decision to make it live-action instead of animated was a huge misstep, and most fans agree. It seems that unfortunately, the movie will be following in the footsteps of another huge recent misfire, the Borderlands movie.

Lord of the Rings has got to be one of the most loved franchises to date. The epic fantasy films take their viewers on a journey through Middle-earth where they come across everything from hobbits to wizards. Actress Cate Blanchett played the role of Galadriel in the trilogy but her paychecks might not be as magical as the films are.

A few weeks ago, Cate Blanchett opened up about the money she made while playing Galadriel in The Lord of the Rings. While the interviewer assumed that that must have been the heftiest paycheck of her career, the actress dropped a bomb that no one was really expecting.

The video game adaptation curse may no longer be a thing, but the batting average of adaptations of video games continues to be less than great. While we got the stellar "Fallout" TV series early this year, we also barely got the biggest bomb of the year with the horrendous "Borderlands" movie. That said, we have finally reached a point where video game adaptations are as varied as video game themselves. Shows like "Arcane" and "Cyberpunk Edgerunners" bring their worlds to life with spectacular visuals (telling original and poignant stories that surpass those from their source material), while "The Last of Us" feels instead like a walkthrough video.
Except, there is one thing a shocking number of video game movies have in common, and they share it with anime. When the first "Minecraft" movie trailer dropped, some viewers were surprised to learn the film is about a group of people...

Since coming out in 2011, Minecraft has sold more than 300 million copies and gotten more than a trillion views on YouTube. Its early popularity helped shape the platform into what they are today, and despite challengers like Fortnite and Roblox, Minecraft is still one of the internet’s most popular games, with top creators netting hundreds of millions of views each month.
But does that mean Minecraft can succeed at the box office?
We’ve talked a lot lately about how Hollywood is looking to online content creators to make its next hit movies. Well, it’s also looking to online trends and fandoms to see what might hit big with audiences, and Warner Bros. is no doubt hoping to follow up the nostalgia-soaked success of Barbie with A Minecraft Movie.

In the gaming world, no one is more popular than Minecraft so it was inevitable that the game would get a movie adaptation somewhere down the line. As expected the live-action adaptation of the immensely popular game will be released on April 4th, 2025. The cast for the movie is star-studded as it features Jason Momoa, Jack Black, and Steve Carell, to name a few.

However, after seeing the official poster and the trailer of the movie, fans are not even a bit excited instead finding various skepticism already. They expected an animated adaptation, not a live-action movie. This has led them to draw various comparisons to the most recent video game adaptation Borderlands which didn’t do well either.

It would seem that Todd Phillips has not taken kindly to the notion that his mega-grossing, Oscar-winning, career-defining “Joker” was some kind of incel rallying cry. To Phillips’ mind, his comic book-fueled Scorsese homage was a sad clown story about the cruelty of our unempathetic world, told through the eyes of a man who’d been violently denied the love we all need to suffer through it.
Yes, “Joker” ended with Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck shooting his favorite talk show host on live TV, the murder sparking a copycat riot that saw a mob of angry Gothamites set fire to the city in Arthur’s image, but the director would argue that rage fantasies aren’t endorsements, even in a semi-triumphant blockbuster that seduced multiplex audiences to share in their catharsis. It’s just entertainment, after all, and Phillips doesn’t feel he should be held responsible for a...

The much anticipated 2024 adaptation of the popular video game Borderlands was on its way to becoming a popular hit. The movie had a star-studded cast featuring Cate Blanchett and Kevin Hart, to name a few. Many fans of the series believed that with the gritty source material, the movie would be R-rated.

However, in the ever-evolving Hollywood, maintaining a balance between the original creative vision and studio interference is very crucial and delicate. Unfortunately, it seems like the balance fell through and the anticipated movie fell into a trap very similar to the fate of Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (Bvs).

It's been a long time since a Minecraft movie was first announced. However, next year will finally see the release of Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures' A Minecraft Movie, the first-ever big screen, live-action adaptation of the best-selling video game of all time.
As we first reported on GameFragger.com, the first teaser trailer and poster for the movie have been released following a leak this summer which saw us get an early glimpse at several lead characters.
It's clear this has been made with fans in mind so, if you've never played the Minecraft games, you may well be left scratching your heads. Everyone seems to be having fun, though, and the movie will either surprise us or be another Borderlands. It's hard to say right now.

In a highly anticipated move, Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures have finally released the teaser trailer for the long-awaited A Minecraft Movie. The short but captivating trailer dropped on September 4, 2024, sparking excitement across the gaming and film communities.
A First Look at the Blocky World
The teaser opens with a sweeping shot of the iconic pixelated landscape that fans of the game will instantly recognize. Blocky mountains, dense forests, and vast oceans fill the screen, all rendered with the familiar, simplistic style that has made Minecraft a global phenomenon. The trailer hints at a grand adventure that captures the spirit of exploration and creativity that defines the game.
A Star-Studded Cast and Talented Crew
While the teaser is light on plot details, it does confirm the involvement of some big names in Hollywood. Jason Momoa, known for his roles in Aquaman and Game of Thrones, will lend his voice to the film’s protagonist,...

Video game movies with a prominent storyline don’t often transfer to the big screen in a way that can live up to its source material. The movie Borderlands is a recent example. However, with a game like Minecraft, in which the whole thing is a sandbox of which the player can make anything they want, the possibilities can be endless for how a movie adapts the property. Get a peek at how things unfold in the new trailer for A Minecraft Movie.
From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures and starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black, A Minecraft Movie, directed by Jared Hess, is the first-ever big-screen, live-action adaptation of Minecraft, the best-selling video game of all time. The film also stars Emma Myers (Wednesday), Oscar nominee Danielle Brooks (The Color Purple), Sebastian Eugene Hansen, with Jennifer Coolidge.

“Anything you can dream about here, you can make,” says Jack Black in the first trailer for “A Minecraft Movie,” coming to theaters April 4, 2025.
Then, ceremoniously, he proclaims, “I… am Steve,” prompting groans from the rest of the crew, who have been transported into this blocky video game world.
Directed by “Napoleon Dynamite” and “Nacho Libre” filmmaker Jared Hess, “A Minecraft Movie” also stars Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Eugene Hansen and Jennifer Coolidge. Warner Bros. and Legendary are backing the adaptation of one of the bestselling video games in history (it boasts 140 million monthly users).
In the first footage of “A Minecraft Movie,” Black and Momoa meet piglins and creepers as they navigate the ever-changing fantasy universe.
Debuting in 2011, “Minecraft” allows players to use colorful blocks to create 3D worlds. It has also spawned numerous spinoffs, like “Minecraft: Story Mode,” “Minecraft Earth,” “Minecraft Dungeons” and “Minecraft Legends.

If you took advantage of the flat £4 ticket price in UK cinemas for National Cinema Day on Saturday, you might have been one of a rather elite few. The event, which for the last two years has provided venues with a nice little admissions boost, has seen a massive drop in the number of tickets sold, from 1.56m in 2023 to around 1m this year, according to Screen Daily.
The weekend itself was notably lacking in new releases, with Entertainment Film Distributors’ French-language The Count Of Monte Christo the only new film opening in more than 100 locations.

“Twisters” (Universal) wasn’t the biggest film of the summer. But it is becoming the comeback kid among the group, both theatrically and at home.
The tornado-focused special effects disaster film just had a very rare weekend in theaters. In its seventh weekend, losing 200 screens, its gross increased 17 percent. That comes in its third week at home on PVOD. And right at the same time, “Twisters” returned to #1 at iTunes, edging out the second weekend of “Inside Out 2” (Disney), 2024’s biggest hit.
The Pixar film retains its top spot at Fandango, with the advantage that its $24.99 rental cost gives it with that site listing by revenue earned, not transactions like iTunes does. In any event, the split decision this week continues a now multi-month trend of no film placing #1 at both for two consecutive weeks.

The ongoing decade has seen video game-oriented media going through a major revival, and with the genre being a hot favorite among viewers nowadays, every major studio and director want to get a piece of the potential success by taking on a popular IP. However, as is the case with most pop culture genres nowadays, overcrowding of content ultimately leads to saturation, and the cinematic adaptation of Borderlands is one such example. Director Eli Roth most definitely should have refused the offer to direct a big-budget movie adaptation of the looter-shooter game and stuck to his territory of horror and splatter movies—because after seeing the movie for the first time, even the most avid fans of the game series will acknowledge that this cookie-cutter entry deserves every bit of harsh criticism it has gotten since its release. Right from characterization to plot structure, the production reeks of laziness and...

During Gamescom 2024, Gearbox Software announced and released a trailer for one of the most anticipated titles in the looter-shooter genre, Borderlands 4. After seeing the colorful and immersive trailer showcasing various new game environments, players are super excited about the game.

However, as not much detail about the game was available, the community was in speculation mode and thinking about how it would be connected to the previous titles. But that changed as Gearbox Software attended Pax West 2024 and discussed various aspects of the game, clearing some speculation among the players.

Usually, sequels take place years or decades after their predecessors, but it looks like Gearbox Software wanted to break away from the norm.

The Crow just wrapped up its second weekend in theaters and, for the most part, it feels like the remake has already been forgotten. Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised seeing as it debuted at #8 during its opening weekend and has already slipped to #11.
The movie flopped during its first frame with a $4.6 million debut and made only $1.8 million this weekend to take its current domestic total to a mere $8.5 million. Overseas, it's performed no better and sits at just $13.2 million at the worldwide box office.
With a $50 million budget, this is nothing short of a disaster for Lionsgate and The Crow will likely go down as one of 2024's biggest flops.
With 22% on Rotten Tomatoes, Rupert Sanders' remake has a slightly better 65% score from audiences; however, that's done little to help its box office prospects and we'd imagine a Digital release is now imminent.

“Borderlands” is an action movie starring Cate Blanchett and Kevin Hart. With Jack Black, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ariana Greenblatt and Florian Munteanu. It is directed by Eli Roth.
When you have the likes of Cate Blanchett, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Jamie Lee Curtis leading the charge in a film, you’re assured a certain level of excellence in the production. At the very least, you can expect the movie to exude quality. “Borderlands” is an exuberant spectacle of high-caliber mischief, boasting impressive visual effects and a script that doesn’t overcomplicate itself. It’s a wild, unbridled, and utterly entertaining ride.
This comedy quickly abandons any pretense of serious storytelling within the first five minutes, opting instead to revel in its fresh, carefree, and anarchic style. Despite its chaotic nature, it carries that unmistakable Jack Black flair: a film that pushes boundaries just enough to be provocative while remaining suitable for all audiences,...

The blockbuster summer of 2024, which started slowly but rallied (big time) with movies like Inside Out 2, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Twisters, came to a quiet end this weekend. As we predicted in our weekly predictions report, Deadpool & Wolverine easily won the weekend, with it grossing $15.1 million for the three-day weekend (tomorrow is a holiday). That puts its domestic total at a gargantuan $604 million, which is unheard of for an R-rated movie. The second highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time is The Passion of the Christ, which made $370 million, although adjusted for inflation, that would be like $616 million. However, within a week or two, Deadpool & Wolverine should be able to close that gap, which is, overall, an absolutely amazing showing for the summer’s most popular movie with the JoBlo audience (check out our summer poll here).
Another R-rated movie, Alien: Romulus, also had a solid weekend, with it grossing $9.3 million,...

At Pax West 2024, Gearbox Software shared some more information about the Borderlands 4 title. With some details, Gearbox also shared some concept artwork, and it is safe to say that fans are extremely excited.
The teaser trailer that was revealed recently at the 2024 Gamescom surely didn’t disappoint, and the same is expected from the game. For Gearbox, Borderlands 4 is completely different from its predecessors in terms of technology, and the studio has experimented with some new ideas.

On paper, Gori: Cuddly Carnage sounds like the height of 2000s cringe, mixing action-platforming reminiscent of PS2-era Ratchet & Clank and Metal Arms with a grim and gritty fairy-tale aesthetic that takes a page from American McGee’s Alice. Somehow, though, Angry Demon Studio has largely managed to get the formula just right, as Cuddly Carnage is just creepy enough to be unnerving, just edgy and trashy enough to sate a certain type of 13-year-old (and 13-year-olds at heart), and somehow still cute enough to be endearing.
Cuddly Carnage takes place in an disconcertingly cute post-apocalyptic future where humanity has been slaughtered by synthetic pets with advanced intelligence, slathering the world in bucket loads of blood and neon paint. All of them have been seemingly possessed by kill-crazy demons, their flesh contorting and mutating in distressing and increasingly lethal ways. Now, the planet’s only hope is the scientist...

The fact that the Borderlands film was first officially announced in 2015 and then finally released nine years later in 2024 already hinted at the shaky foundations that it was being built on. But perhaps those who held out hope and waited so long, mostly fans of the 2K Looter Shooter videogame franchise, would not have expected the film to be this plain and boring. While the Borderlands games are known for their out-of-proportion action and story moments, along with a very distinct style of humor, the film has almost none of the franchise’s characteristic elements. The plot follows a bounty hunter, Lilith, who is hired by the ruthless head of a corporation to find his daughter, but her mission leads to a number of unexpected discoveries about the world and herself. Overall, Borderlands makes for a very average watching experience and should most definitely be avoided by fans of the video game series.

Alfonso Cuarón’s Apple TV+ limited series Disclaimer is gut-wrenching, beautiful and solidly conventional.
Based on the bestselling 2015 novel of the same name by Renée Knight, the seven-episode show written and directed by the two-time Oscar winner opens with a long shot of teenage sex on a European train and a warning. A Christiane Amanpour-delivered warning to “beware of narrative and form” at a fictional Royal Television Society award ceremony for acclaimed documentarian Catherine Ravenscroft, played by Cate Blanchett.
Intentionally full of the contradictions of its dark cupboard of secrets and lies, the dual opening of Disclaimer gives away all that is to follow, both with skill and a distinct lack of subtlety. In that sense, with a seemingly perfect life shattered, betrayal, human frailty, grief and a mysterious novel that cuts too close to home, the series is intentionally aware of what it is.

Knapp 1,22 Mrd. Dollar hat „Deadpool & Wolverine“ bislang weltweit eingespielt – und schon an diesem Wochenende könnte er „Fast & Furious 8“ auf dem 25. Platz der weltweit umsatzstärksten Filme der Geschichte ablösen. In den USA wird dem McU-Hit am langen „Labor Day“-Wochenende einmal mehr der Spitzenplatz vorhergesagt.
„Dogpool“ ist der heimliche Star des McU-Hits (Credit: Jay Maidment. © 2024 20th Century Studios / © and 2024 Marvel)
Schätzungen, Mutmaßungen, Spekulationen. Mehr gibt es zum PVoD-Start von „Deadpool & Wolverine“ derzeit nicht – davon aber richtig, richtig viele. Auffällig ist jedenfalls: Anders als mittlerweile mehr oder minder üblich, wird der McU-Hit auf den einschlägigen Plattformen nach wie vor noch nicht zum (wiederum üblicherweise undatierten) Vorverkauf angeboten. Der Umgang mit den Kinofenstern ist nach wie vor alles andere als einheitlich. Die grobe Faustregel, dass besonders erfolgreiche Filme länger Kino-exklusiv gehalten werden, während Flops schneller in die Zweitauswertung wandern, gilt zwar im Prinzip – Ausnahmen bestätigen aber die Regel. Siehe „Twisters“ in den USA.

How I Met Your Mother was filled with a mixture of both happy and sad moments. While the show was famous for perfectly striking a balance between humor and comedic relief, one episode was so heartbreaking and sad that it even brought the viewers to tears.

Borderlands is coming home... less than a month after it was released in theaters.
Lionsgate has announced that the star-studded but critically-panned video game adaptation will be available to purchase on Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) and Premium Electronic Sell-Through (Est) from this Friday, August 30.
We didn't expect the movie to stay in theaters for too much longer after a disastrous stint at the box office (it grossed just over $24 million with an estimated $120 million budget), but its home release is happening quite a bit sooner than analysts had predicted.
There's always a slim chance the movie will find a new lease of life on Digital and Blu-ray, but between the dismal Bo returns and the similarly awful reviews, it's probably safe to assume that this franchise is well and truly dead in the water.

Lionsgate is bringing Eli Roth’s Borderlands to Premium Video on Demand later this month to lick its wounds after a dismal box office performance. Beginning August 30, you can purchase Borderlands via PVOD and Premium Electronic Sell-Through. The tale of the film’s journey to the silver screen and subsequent failure at the box office is legend, with journalists and fans baffled by the movie’s ability to misfire despite boasting 17.75 million guns.
I don’t know that anything could have saved Borderlands from its unfortunate fate. The humor of the video game franchise is obnoxious and dated at best, with characters barking in leet speak amidst a Warrior Road-like setting. While colorful characters populate the franchise, production for Borderlands became a hellish experience, with delays, rewrites, and a lack of real stakes making the project’s success an up-dune battle.

The humor of the video game franchise is obnoxious and dated at best, with characters barking in leet speak amidst a Warrior Road-like setting. While colorful characters populate the franchise, production for Borderlands became a hellish experience, with delays, rewrites, and a lack of real stakes making the project’s success an up-dune battle.

As of this writing, Eli Roth's new action-comedy "Borderlands," based on the popular video game series, has grossed just over $24 million at the box office. This is an abysmal number, given that the film cost an estimated $120 million to make. It's a little too early to call it one of the biggest box office bombs of all time, but it's certainly one of the biggest bombs of the year. Given that it was based on a beloved video game property, the failure of "Borderlands" was particularly visible to a mass audience, playing into a long held prejudice against game adaptations. There are only scant great films to have been based on video games, and "Borderlands" certainly isn't one of them.
"Borderlands" received terrible notices, boasting a mere 10% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 151 reviews. /Film's own Bill Bria praised the film's candy-colored visuals, and enjoyed watching cast members...

UTA has signed Hong Kong writer-director Tiger Ji for representation in all areas.
Ji first gained recognition at age 19 with his award-winning 2020 short, “Wuhan Driver,” executive produced by Jonathan Sanger. It follows a Chinese Uber driver in New York as he struggles to make ends meet at the onset of the pandemic. For the project, Ji was awarded the filmmaker of the future award at the Rhode Island International Film Festival.
His subsequent 2023 project, “Death & Ramen,” starred Bobby Lee and Matt Jones (“Breaking Bad”). The short premiered at the Palm Springs Shortfest, where it was nominated for best comedy. It follows a ramen chef as he goes on an unintended late night odyssey with the Grim Reaper, sharing a bowl of noodles and discovering what it means to be human.
“Death & Ramen” was picked up by Canal+ for distribution worldwide and racked up more than 1 million views on YouTube in just over a month.

A remake of The Crow has been talked about for at least a decade and a half, and it finally flew into theaters this weekend. However, it earned only $4.6 million in North America, debuting at #8...on a budget of at least $50 million.
Deadline has taken a closer look at where it all went wrong for the film, revealing that moviegoers who went to Thursday previews may have contributed to that dismal opening weekend thanks to negative word of mouth. That's evident from the remake's 1* rating on Comscore/Screen Engine's PostTrak (and a B- CinemaScore).
Lionsgate limited the damage by acquiring the North American theatrical rights to The Crow for only $10 million with an additional $15 million on marketing. The studio will lose money but not as much as on Borderlands (that loss should reach around $30 million when all is said and done).

How ‘The Crow’s Wings Got Clipped At The Box Office: Reboot Of Brandon Lee Cult Pic Bombs With $4.6M

After 16 years of fits and starts, a $50M reboot of 1994 goth thriller The Crow finally flew into theaters and dropped out of the sky with a disastrous $4.6M opening.
Forget about critics plucking the feathers from The Crow at 19%, those moviegoers who attended Thursday night, predominantly fans, slammed the movie on Comscore/Screen Engine’s PostTrak with one star, a 47% grade and a 36% definite recommend.
Lionsgate limited its skin in the game with a $10M North American acquisition and $15M P&a on this Rupert Sanders-directed take, starring burgeoning It and John Wick: Chapter 4 genre star Bill Skarsgård. At the end of the day, the studio stands to lose more — in the neighborhood of $30M — on its $110M-plus feature take of gonzo sci-fi video game Borderlands.
So why make a big deal here on The Crow? Even if, let’s say, Lionsgate possibly breaks even in pic’s...

While the summer movie season has been generally strong for the last couple of months, this past weekend was a bumpy ride so far as new releases were concerned. MGM's "Blink Twice," the feature directorial debut of Zoe Kravitz, did well enough for itself with a $7.3 million domestic start. Unfortunately for Lionsgate, the long-gestating "The Crow" remake didn't fare nearly as well, to put it mildly. The new adaptation of James O'Barr's graphic novel of the same name had nothing shy of a disastrous start to its box office run.
Director Rupert Sanders' "The Crow" took in an estimated $4.6 million on its opening weekend, placing at number eight on the domestic charts. That was just barely above "Despicable Me 4" ($4.4 million), a movie that has been in theaters for going on two months. It also failed to gross more than the "Coraline" 15th anniversary re-release ($5 million), which is on its second weekend.

A new, yet old, film claimed the top spot of the box-office weekend as Deadpool & Wolverine crept over Alien: Romulus to win the weekend by $2.1 million.
In its fifth weekend of release, the Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures product Deadpool & Wolverine reclaimed the number one slot of the top ten earning $18.3 million over the weekend. This gives the film a cumulative total of $577.2 million. Meanwhile, last weekend’s top film, Alien: Romulus, slipped to second place where it made $16.2 million for its studio – also Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures – lifting its two-week total to $72.6 million. Holding steady in the third spot was Sony Pictures Releasing’s It Ends with Us with $11.9 million. This gives the film a three-week total of $120.8 million. Debuting in fourth place was the thriller Blink Twice with $7.3 million. The second debut of the weekend, the Affirm Films offering of The Forge took in $6.6 million over the weekend,...

The summer is nearing its end and the year's biggest movie has returned to the top spot after being dethroned by Alien: Romulus last week.
Yes, Deadpool & Wolverine is back at #1 with $18.3 million in North America, a -39% drop. This is the movie's fifth weekend in theaters and a nice bump for a blockbuster that continues to exceed expectations.
The Shawn Levy-directed threequel has now passed Aquaman and Captain America: Civil War to become the 8th highest-grossing superhero movie ever at the worldwide box office; it currently sits at a massive $1.2 billion and is likely to end its run with between $1.3 billion - $1.4 billion.
Making that even more impressive is the fact it's R-Rated. In the UK, for example, Deadpool & Wolverine is rated "15." In case it wasn't clear, this means no one under 15 can see the movie (with or without parents) and that's a sizeable share of the audience.

The box office numbers are starting to roll in, and the weekend gross for the controversial reboot of The Crow could not be worse. At the moment, ComScore has the film in eighth place for the weekend, with a $4.6 million gross and a shocking per-screen average of just over $1.6k. No matter how bad the box office outlook for the movie was in the lead-up to its opening weekend, no one thought it would crash and burn this badly. In our predictions, we figured it would open with $7 million and at least finish in the top 5, but it was not meant to be.
This is a disastrous result for Lionsgate, with it following hot on the heels of their mega-flop Borderlands. These two would-be franchise starters not only posted terrible grosses, but Borderlands was despised by audiences too, with it posting a rare D+ CinemsScore.

The final weeks of the summer are bringing the typical slowdown for the box office, as Marvel Studios’ “Deadpool & Wolverine” has retaken the No. 1 spot from fellow Disney release “Alien: Romulus” while new offerings like Amazon MGM’s “Blink Twice” and Lionsgate’s “The Crow” are sliding below holdovers from earlier in August.
“Deadpool & Wolverine” leads the charts with $18.3 million in its fifth weekend, bringing its total to $577 million domestic and $1.21 billion worldwide. “Alien: Romulus” is just behind with $16.2 million. While that’s a 61% drop from its opening weekend, the film now has a total $72.6 million domestic and $225.4 million worldwide, meaning that “Romulus” will pass the theatrical total of its 2017 predecessor, “Alien: Covenant” in the coming days.
“Blink Twice” came in fourth on the charts this weekend with $7.3 million from 3,063 theaters, sitting behind the $11.8 million third weekend of “It Ends With Us,” which now has a $120 million domestic total.

After a blip that allowed another film sell some tickets, “Deadpool & Wolverine” returned to the top of box office charts in its fifth weekend of release. Marvel’s superhero adventure towered over the (albeit anemic) competition as two newcomers, “The Crow” and “Blink Twice,” misfired in their debuts.
Director Zoe Kravitz’s twisted thriller “Blink Twice” led among new releases but faltered in fourth place with $7.3 million from 3,067 theaters. Meanwhile, Lionsgate’s R-rated reboot of “The Crow,” starring Bill Skarsgård as a murdered musician who is resurrected to avenge the deaths of himself and his fiancee, bombed with $4.6 million from 2,752 theaters to open in eighth place. Critics were fonder of “Blink Twice” compared to “The Crow” — the former landed a 79% on Rotten Tomatoes while the latter was saddled with a 20% “rotten” score — while audiences were mixed, giving both films a “B-” grade on CinemaScore.

Plot: A young man (Bill Skarsgard) returns from the dead to avenge his girlfriend’s murder.
Review: Rupert Sanders’s The Crow is one of the more controversial would-be big-budget blockbusters (they hope) in some time. The rights holders to the property have spent over a decade trying to relaunch James O’Barr’s classic antihero. While there was initially some enthusiasm from fans when It star Bill Skarsgard was cast in the lead, they didn’t care for the character’s look when it was revealed, and many dismissed the trailer as Crow-Wick and a stain on the memory of the original Brandon Lee classic.
But, here’s the thing – outside of the first movie by Alex Proyas, there’s never been another good Crow movie. In fact, there have been some genuinely abysmal ones, so it’s strange fans have all of a sudden gotten so precious about a...

This weekend marks the end of an era. A remake of 1994's "The Crow," which has been in development since at least 2008, has finally made it to theaters. Its odyssey saw four different directors come and go before it finally ended up in the hands of Rupert Sanders ("Ghost in the Shell"), and a string of actors attached to play protagonist Eric Draven -- including Bradley Cooper, Luke Evans, and Alexander Skarsgård. "The Crow" took so long to finally make it to production that the starring role ended up passing to a younger Skarsgård.
Now, "The Crow" has arrived and it's... bombing. Produced for $50 million, the movie is expected to gross just $5 million or less in its opening weekend, according to the Hollywood Reporter. On the box office charts, that will put it in a dismal seventh place as "Deadpool & Wolverine" reclaims the No. 1 spot. This marks back-to-back megabombs for distributor Lionsgate,...

After briefly losing the top spot at the box office to Alien: Romulus last weekend, it looks like the MCU’s Deadpool & Wolverine is about to retake the top spot at the box office. Deadline’s figures put the Marvel sequel at about $18 million for the weekend, while Alien: Romulus should make about $16 million for second place. Alien: Romulus will likely fall a steep 61%, but that’s actually not considered all that bad for the franchise, with the last movie, Alien: Covenant, dropping over 70% in its second weekend.
However, the real news this weekend is how disastrously Lionsgate’s reboot of The Crow is performing. According to the figures, the controversial franchise restarter will only make about $5 million this weekend. It’s Lionsgate’s second major flop in a row, following Borderlands, which won’t even be in the top 10 this weekend. The reviews have been mostly scathing, although we were fine with it.

The summer box office is winding down, as Amazon MGM’s social thriller “Blink Twice” and Lionsgate’s action remake “The Crow” both look to open beneath a trio of holdovers.
“Blink Twice” wins the race between new releases though, with a $2.8 million gross across Friday and preview screenings from 3,067 locations. It’s not exactly a big splash for the Zoë Kravitz-directed thriller, which stars Naomi Ackie and Channing Tatum and follows a woman who visits a tech billionaire’s private island and uncovers an insidious conspiracy. But the MGM production carries a light $20 million production budget — it’s off to a solid enough start if it can keep momentum. Reviews have been positive, though audience survey firm Cinema Score turned in a B- grade (standard middling for a horror film).
