$220 Million Battleship Flop Sinks Not Only Universal Pictures, But Activision Game

Activision has drastically reduced the number of games it releases these days. The company remains focused on core franchises like its two Call of Duty games, including Treyarch’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, and popular Skylanders toys and games. But while many publishers have moved away from Hollywood licensed games, Activision still dabbles in them. You just don’t hear a lot about some of these games, including the new Battleship game from developer Double Helix.

[ddurand1]

nothing about the movie looked appealing.

[LarVanian]

That and the fact that it was competing against Avengers didn't do it any favours.

[TopDudeMan]

Lets not forget american pie.

[AntoineDcoolette]

I for one rofl'ed

[thorstein]

Had they called it anything BUT Battleship, it might have done better. I think naming it after the board game and pretending as if it had any thing in common really hurt it.

If it was called Aliens Attack, it may have faired slightly better.

[DarthJay]

I am pretty sure it could have been competing against a theatrical version of two straight hours of a dude taking a dump and it would have done just as poorly.

[jony_dols]

Battleship has still earned over $240 million dollars at the box office, with an estimated 209 million budget. Factor in a few more weeks at the BO, and it should be more than enough to cover all the marketing costs.

Blu-ray, Digital & TV rights will probably result in it pushing a tidy profit. It's a pretty bad film, but certainly not a catastrophic flop.

[Dee_91]

did rhianna havee a sex scene ?
no?
did she go topless ?
no?
well did she wear a bikini atleast !?
no?
Il pass :)

[killcycle]

I work at a Cinema and Battleship came out an entire month before the Avengers did so how they competing?

It was an ok movie, nothing amazing but it weren't like how critics were claiming it was.

[LarVanian]

@ killcycle

This should answer your question.

http://www.usatoday.com/lif...

[SilentNegotiator]

A movie that tries to cash in on transformers with a board game license that has nothing to do with itself.

WHO would have guessed that could have an iffy performance??!!?
/s

[hotrider12]

now we know why TDKR and AMAZING SPIDERMAN is end of may and july 3rd.
be interesting to see would either movie take AVENGER off 1# position if were release a weekend later or same time.
good question but we'll never know.
............................. .............................. . ...................
@SILENT NEGOTIATOR
If only Michael Bay made Transformer like BATTLESHIP i believe it would been very satisfying. and also BATTLESHIP would been more rewarding and entertaining if the title was called "ALIEN ATTACK"

[ChickeyCantor]

In all honesty, I havn't seen the Avengers yet. But I sure ain't going for the story. If you go for the story then you're an idiot.

I have yet to see this movie. Again not gonna watch it for the story. So I should be in for some amazing shizzle =D

[gaffyh]

@Sidar - The only reason to watch ANY movie is for the story, otherwise there is no point watching anything ever.

[UnwanteDreamz]

^
Porn says hello.

[Nimblest-Assassin]

Pretty much the movie was transformers 4... with even less plot. My friend sneaked in to watch it after he watched the Avengers for the 3rd time... and he said he regrets wasting his time...

Nothing about the movie seemed appealing, its a movie based on a childhood boardgame, and you made an FPS to accompany a movie based on a boardgame?

Not to mention the fact that you put aliens in? I mean whose idea was this?

Whats next Paramount/Activision?

A Monopoly movie staring aliens, that will also be accompanied with a FPS game?

[Etseix]

Avengers for the 3rd time. and he calls "wasting time" to... you get my point , oh, snap! :D

[KwietStorm_BLM]

lol

[Soldierone]

*Discussion at Activision*

Boss "hey take the COD engine, re texture it with images from that Battleship movie and release it"

Peon studio "Okay!"

boss" Oh and be sure to put as little effort as possible so we get pure profit!"

By the way sadly they are making a monopoly movie....and a candy land movie.....ugh.....

[GraveLord]

Seems like a great mediocre summer flick.
I'd pirate it.

@article
Green Lantern movie was horrible? Weird, I enjoyed that one. This is why I don't pay attention to reviews or box office rankings.

[BlackTar187]

Grenn lantern was so bad so so so bad

[Knushwood Butt]

@ jony_dols

I think you added an extra digit in there:

http://www.imdb.com/chart/

The film bombed.

[jony_dols]

And I think that you have forgotten that there is a big wide world out there.

Battleship (like The Avengers) received a general international release back in April and had already grossed over $215 million before its US release.

http://www.imdb.com/title/t...

[Knushwood Butt]

fair point, but don't forget that a fair portion of that box office take goes to the theaters.

For example:

http://www.doughroller.net/...

Plus, add on the money spent on advertising.

[Saladfax]

Interesting. I have to wonder about the accuracy of those statistics.

I used to work in a movie theater. It was in a small town (only one screen), so the contracts might be a bit different than they used to be. Anyway, in talking with the owners every now and then, they usually implied that the studios took somewhere between 75%-90% of ticket sale revenue.

[Kran]

Indeed. It took a well loved board game about sinking your opponents ships and turned it into a bloody movie about aliens. What the hell is up with that? Thats not called "battleships" then, its called Battleships vs Aliens.

It just hoped to use Battleships well known name to earn money off of it.

[CanadianTurtle]

I can't take the movie seriously just because of the fact that Rihanna is in it. That alone kills the movie for me. I can't ever imagine her in a marine suit...

Its a better version of Battle LA, but its still mediocore at best.

[zeddy]

rhianna was in it. aint no way im paying to watch a musician try n act.

[caseh]

I saw the trailer and thought 'ooohh that looks quite goo...' then I saw Rhianna and it was like '...ooooh'.

Seeing her pretty much convinced me to avoid the film at all costs, singer who i've never seen act outside of music videos being placed in a $220 mil budget film pretty much set the alarm bells ringing.

Then I had flashbacks of Battle LA...*cry* i'll never get those 2 hours of my life back.

[orange-skittle]

Then all of you guys are f-ckin' idiots because WILL SMITH, TYRESE GIBSON, BRUCE SPRINGFIELD, LL COOL J, DWIGHT YOAKAM, ASHLEY JUDD, FRANK SINATRA, REBA MCINTYRE, AND MARK WAHLBERG were all musicians before they started acting, so WTF are you talking about?! Get out the damn basement sometime. You think I give a $#!T if you disagree with me. I think you're all nerds anyway that care more about your social status in these non factor forums than your position in the REAL world. look at the guys that stroke for bubbles. Gimme a break.

I didn't see the movie because basing a movie off a board game that had nothing to do with it is nonsense, but just because Rihanna is in it is not a reason to not see a movie. Then you might as well not go and see Fast and Furious 6 because she's going to be in that as well morons. Who cares where you started, it's where you end up. Will Smith is an amazing actor and was passed over for an oscar on many good roles he's played. He is as diverse as Johnny Depp w/o the recognition.

[pbasson]

To call her a musician she has to be able to sing/play instrument. she can do neither. Now shes trying to act, god save our eyes & ears.

[spartan112g]

What about Will Smith? He is an amazing actor. A lot of musicians make fantastic actors, especially since a lot of them put on an act the moment they get up on stage.

[flankhim]

They should of called it as I called as a kid. BATTLESHIT!

[pbasson]

LOL

[rezzah]

Already done in Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.

[DeadlyFire]

Well I thought for a second Wow they are going to make a big sea battle movie. Then well I saw an alien on the teaser and instantly felt like WTF? How is this battleship?

A massive battle in the Sea between two countries with lots of "Epic moments" romance and whatnot throw into the mix with maybe an alien attack towards the end would have been better.

[SKUD]

I decided to wait and go see prometheus instead. Should be sweet.

[Xenomorph]

Now that's a movie! I'm gunna be so jelly.

[LiamIRL82]

Jelly?

[Etseix]

You jelly Liam?

[Fylus]

Dying to see that movie.

[Ser]

Agreed! So psyched for Prometheus! Take my money, Mr. Scott! Take it!!!

[SSKILLZ]

fuck yeah Prometheus FTW!

[Nimblest-Assassin]

No love for the Dark Knight Rises as well? Im stoked for both movies.

[torchic]

The Dark Knight Rises.

that has to be the most epic movie title ever. I'd go watch the movie purely based on name.

[Hufandpuf]

I'm pretty sure the dark knight will be amazing, but so far the trailers they have released have been underwhelming. However, I for one am going to see it at release.

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

Dark Knight Rises will top Avengers in the box office...!

[rello91]

wat if prometheus had a movie tie in game

[humbleopinion]

Not exactly a tie-in, but Aliens: Colonial Marines is coming this fall...

[MariaHelFutura]

Good. Whoever "Ok'd" all of this, should be kicked in the balls/vagina.

[Parapraxis]

ballgina.

[MasterD919]

Activision's game and the movie flops? This is great news. I was rooting for this to happen.

Take a hint Hollywood...Get some originality and stop flocking to these untalented writers and directors.

Prometheus, Avengers, MIB3...these are movies people want to see. But Battleship? You would have to pay me to see this.

[M83_]

It amazes me that they try to get away with these terrible movies and then wonder why they fail.
The only interest I had in it was Rihanna and if she was any good in it.
I guess she didn't do the movie many favours either!;)

[MasterD919]

Her role in there was strictly to pull in females to see that movie. Thats all. I have nothing against her, Taylor K or Liam Neeson but anyone actually involved in this movie should be fired or repremanded.

They tried to use the "From the director of Transformers tagline" and just look at how much advertising they spent money on! This is a bigger flop than John Carter most likely.

I stand by my statement that this is great news. Hollywood needs a massive wake-up call. We've been seeing this for too long and this was one of the worst concepts for a film probably ever.

[drosera1]

One of my biggest reasons for NOT seeing it, is because Rihanna is in it. Please, stick to your music dear.

[PirateThom]

Get some originality?

A movie in the Alien universe, a movie in the Marvel universe and Men in Black 3?

I know what you mean, but you can't tell them to get some originality and then list three unoriginal movies as examples of good movies. Goes both ways.

[MasterD919]

Hollywood's version of originality is splicing Aliens into an old board game.

Avengers, Prometheus and MIB3 aren't going to such ridiculous extremes to capture audiences because they have pre-established material. They are original in their own ways. It isn't like any of these movies are following an exact formula from the series they were adapted from. They are original actually. Now, whether they do it successfully or not, that is the question.

(I didn't disagree with you) but I see your point. But like I said, you work with what you have. These are pre-established series. Battleship is a ridiculous and unnecessary movie, as well as concept.

[LarVanian]

I would say that Avengers is fairly original. It's the first ever ensemble comic book movie to feature several characters who have all had their own separate feature films beforehand.

[Ser]

You're honestly telling me that an Alien "prequel" by Ridley Scott has the originality equal to that of a movie which was based on a board game?

I'm sorry, but you can't categorize these two movies together at any time. Ever.

And the Avengers? When has this ever been done before???

I'll give you MIB3, but I'd still like to see it for nostalgic purposes.

[PirateThom]

Why does a prequel movie set in a pre-established universe suddenly become more original than one that is based on a board game? I'm not saying Battleship is a good movie or Promethesus will be bad because of it but originality doesn't mean a movie will be good just as it won't mean a movie will be bad.

As for the Avengers... a superhero team? It was done in the Avengers comics, for one thing. Watchmen. Fantastic Four. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Mystery Men. X-Men... I don't see how you can call the Avengers an original concept, unless you mean the stand alone movies merging into it but that's a loose tie.

[Godmars290]

Hollywood's issue isn't originality or setting, but consideration and patience. Giving the talent enough room to be talented instead of exploiting them as product shills.

LOTR was hardly original but Jackson was given freedom to do what he wanted. Unlike Rami with Spiderman 3 or the guys who did Green Lantern or Ironman 2.

[RedDead]

Hollywood make the wrong choices. Leeches. That's all they are. Sometimes something good churns out of the grinder but really..what godmars said.

[Jazz4108]

You sunk my Battleship? No, you sunk it yourself.

[LoveMyKids]

I Loved Battleship its a really good movie.

[Axonometri]

Was the acting superb, nope. Were the graphics cutting edge and original, nope. Was the plot original and daring, nope.

Considering all that, know what, It's a good movie. I wanted to Bop a couple of the actors and director on the head for letting through a couple lines and partial sequences... but all in all... I have seen far worse. So thank you LoveMyKids. I'm taking my oldest boy this weekend to see this again with me. I know he will think it is awesome.

Oh by the way... John Carter getting higher and higher ratings online now. It's disk releases will likely do very well.

[drosera1]

Thank you so much for enabling Hollywood to keep producing garbage movies like this. You, and the other 1 + million people with no taste, are a cancer to the film industry. Watch the film "Idiocracy", you'd fit right in. "Battleship", it's what plants crave!!!

[WitWolfy]

I watched John carter Yesterday... I liked it, a bit weird but I expected worse...

[drosera1]

I like junk food, it's really good food. That's the culinary parallel to what you're saying.

[Nes_Daze]

I completely agree with you. I can't understand why people continue to spend their money on movies that are such crap, let alone ACTUALLY say it's a good movie. There are simply so much sheep in the world, I assure you some people just went for the F of it.

[ChickeyCantor]

What kind of an elitist BS is this?
There are enough movies out there with great story and such. To each his own.

I'm glad these movies exist. They aren't meant to be compelling on a profound way. They are just mindless flicks. I wouldn't go to this movie for the story. You obviously go for the "action". Don't like it? then don't go.

@Nes
" There are simply so much sheep in the world"
Ah yes.... cause people who just enjoy simple things are sheep. Who is to say you aren't a sheep yourself? following the elitist BS to judge others for enjoying "shitty" movies like these. They were never meant to be oscar attracting movies.

[greyhaven33]

Flop? Maybe in the states but the movie has already made well over its production cost from the overseas revenue. Also it just released here this weekend, little early to call it a flop

[Hufandpuf]

That's because in the states, we've seen better.

[HarryKawkReturns]

Right, and us yanks have better taste in music too ;)

[HarryKawkReturns]

That was sarcasm by the way. Can't imagine you catching that one.

[Cosmit]

@Hufandpuf

Yes because states=world right?

It's only been out for 2 days!

[shackdaddy]

Maybe if they called it something different I would have seen it...

[jmac53]

Somehow I dont think that Hollywood will learn it's lesson. $220 million on a movie based on a board game. I could have told them it would have been a flop.

[corroios]

Battleship made more than 200 millions in Europe. Therefore it´s not a flop.

[ForTheFallen]

It's an example of Europe's idea of "good"?

[BLow]

Did any of you actually see the movie or are you just jumping on the hate wagon like everything else on this site. It's different if you seen the movie and make a comment about it but I don't see the point if you haven't seen it. And for those of you who won't "waist your time or money", same goes for you. Man these days people can't form there own opinion they're just quick to jump on the wagon and ride it till the wheels come off...I miss the old days sometimes...oh well...And LoveMYkids liked the movie and gets a bunch of disagrees. Why? Can't like something cause EVERYBODY else doesn't....Whatever..I' ;m out

[torchic]

"they're just quick to jump on the wagon and ride it till the wheels come off"

I laughed at that lmao

but yea I agree 100%. some of these people are sheep, you point and they go. I actually watched the movie and thought it was okay-ish.

[Gamer-Z]

Because the movie is stupid Lol. why are there transformers in a movie based on a board game about battle ships?

[etownthree]

So your ASSuming a movie that you haven't is stupid.

I saw it and It's a good movie.

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

Read his statement again etownthree

The concept of the movie is totally divorced from the game. That's why he says it stupid.

[LeoDDestroyer]

Actually if you watch the movie you see where the board game part come into play. It not enough to base the movie off of it but it present.

The movie isn't all that bad either imo.

[easternbalboa]

i personally thought the movie was bloody amazing

[etownthree]

It's actually a really good movie.

Funny how everyone here has an opinion on a movie they haven't watched.

[Nes_Daze]

Nah, they have an opinion on a movie that's obviously crap. I would not support such a crappy unorginal, tasteless plot of a movie.

[Axonometri]

I for one Did see this movie. I am learning more every day that you just can not trust any one but yourself.

[TheDivine]

I havent seen it but my first impressions of hearing about it and seing previews was not good. Who thought it was a good idea to make a movie after a board game? Did they think it worked for transformers (toys but u get the idea) so why not? Just add Rianna and it will be huge hit lol.

Its prob a decent summer flick, all action no plot but my God name it something else. It looked like transformers navy warfare. Im waiting for Prometheus myself but il rent it and make up my mind then.

[Rupee]

I hated the transformers movies, but it was based on more than just toys. Remember the old tv series? It actually had its own lore and universe to build on.

These movies based on Hasbro board games (rock'em sock'em robots[real steel], battleship) are utter garbage. If you don't agree the movies are bad you can at least agree the concept is ridiculous, right?

And to think that they're planning to make movies based on candy land and monopoly? Really?

[smashcrashbash]

I will go with my instincts on this one.A movie by the same people who brought you Transformers about an old board game with what looks like just a ton of explosions and pointless violence. Yeah I am guessing it's crap. 95% sure it's crap.

[drosera1]

Well said, i weep when i read the comments above your's from people who probably thought the last two Transformers films were artistic.

At the rate taste patterns are evolving, people in the future will be watching 90 minute films of a guy farting and be entertained. Yes, i took that from the film "Idiocracy", which pertains to this topic exactly.

[cloak365]

Artistic movies are not always good movies. You have fun with you broke back mountain movies I will have fun with my movies that have lots of explosions and hopefully some cute chicks in them.....

[drosera1]

@ cloak 365

I enjoy films like "Captain America", "Batman Returns" and "Iron Man" etc, those are movies with action plus well-written characters and a storyline. And yes, there are attractive females in them too. From your reply, it's clear you like the "big 'ol dumb" action movies, enjoy man.

[Y_5150]

I've been laughing at that movie since I saw it during the super bowl!

[DialgaMarine]

Honestly, I saw the movie yesterday, and actually enjoyed it. Some lines were a little corny, but beyond that, decent acting, great special effects, and the level of attention they gave to the greatest Navy in the world just made it awesome. Then, I did also thoroughly enjoy Battle: Los Angelos, so mabye I just have bad movie tastes. I could care less, I still enjoyed it.

As for the game tie-in, I know pretty much nothing about it.

[Hufandpuf]

"Then, I did also thoroughly enjoy Battle: Los Angelos, so mabye I just have bad movie tastes."

As long as you know it, then more power to ya.

[Godmars290]

Sort of makes you wonder what would have happened if they'd have tried to make a STG instead of a FPS.

Not that it wouldn't have been as lazy an effort as the FPS seems to be.

[attilayavuzer]

What's actually considered a flop? So far it's made like 50 million in profit and was released in the US two days ago. I thought flop was reserved for movies that lost money.

[ExCest]

Flop is more like the movie did not do so well for what it could've. It had a huge budget but the profits weren't as good as expected. Something like that.

[Rubberlegs]

It was released 3 three days ago and only grossed 27mill here in the US. That's pretty low for big budget movie and those numbers aren't going to get better. It has 200mill plus budget and all the marketing behind it wasn't cheap either. None of that's profit until it can make back what was spent on the budget.

[stuntman_mike]

I cant wait for the movie treatment of Hungry Hippo's featuring in the lead role...Russel Crow.

[Oschino1907]

Will they be bringing Tugger back as his sidekick in this one? If so count me in! I loved Russel Crow in his show "Fightin' around the World", his best work ever IMO.

[SITH]

One thing that made this movie so pathetic, the last battleships were decommssioned in the 90's. No modern navy has a Iowa class battleship in service.

[bucknut26]

You obviously didn't see the movie. If you did, you would know they ships the navy used in the movie were destroyers not battleships.

There's a lot of ppl hating on this movie without seeing it.

[Slapshot82]

$226 million in a month is a flop. Wow!

[Flewid638]

Torrent material.

[kraze07]

Lol. Like how people here are admitting they haven't seen the movie and yet are so sure it's garbage. Basing your opinions off other people's reviews much?

[Killman]

The Transformers-esque previews really turned me away. I am tired of seeing Drama-explosions-drama-close up camera angles-explosions-repeat movies.

[isntchrisl]

So the shitty game will get cheap even faster than most movie-tie in games. Good, I guess.

I won't see this film in theaters. I'll leave it on in the background when it hits FX in a few years.

[BlaqMagiq24]

BATTLESHIP SUNK!

[corroios]

If you like to see battles with ships go see the movie. Its a nice popcorn movie with tons of action.

You got big ships shooting everything they got againts eachother. The story is weak, but the effects are cool.

[GaminGuys]

I actually loved the film albeit somewhat predictable. Would I buy the game?... Sorry a little busy on MW3 and Prototype 2 right now.

[Boody-Bandit]

This loser from gaminguys.com http://n4g.com/news/1000802...

Is sending me PM's, spewing nonsense and threatening me because I, along with hundreds of others N4G members, called him on his trash opinion article. This sick twisted POS needs to be banned from this site along with his lame ass site. Don't write me threatening PM's because I told the truth about your trash site. You submitted 11 articles and 9 of them failed. What does that say about you and your thoughts / trash?

Did you send everyone that reported you a nasty PM? That must've been an awful lot of PM's you sent out since nearly everyone disagreed with you.

Don't you have anything better to do than write trash and go ape shit crazy on those that don't agree with your nonsense?

How about I give you my address? Seriously, you want to talk trash in a threatening matter to someone through the anonymous? Come knock on my door, seriously, please, I'm begging you. Hell I will send you a plane ticket and cab fare. People like you sincerely need to get a life and get off of the internet. The sunshine will probably turn you to dust.

[Afterlife]

That was harsh. But I would love to know what those PM's said.

[yeahokchief]

Sweet. Fuck Activision.

[chobit_A5HL3Y]

a movie based on the battleship board game? o.e what is that?... 2 guys yelling out grid coordinates for 2 hours? lolz XD "B.........5 =.=" "NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUU!!! D:" *KA-BOOM!!!* x]

[kingPoS]

Some movies simply don't translate well into video games and. FACT!
The opposite can also true.

Case point Dragon Ball Evolution

Edit: Battleship can be enjoyable if you don't have any serious expectations about who's in it & directing it. It also helps if you haven't seen any spoilers/trailers that give away too much.

I hereby declare Trailers henceforth shall be forevermore known as ... "Spoilers"

[giovonni]

From a marketing stand point, nothing about this movie screams watch me, and with the inflation of movie ticket prices, plus the rave reviews of Avengers I'll wait till its on dvd/bluray

[Garrison]

I actually watched this movie a few days ago and it's a pretty good popcorn flick. Lol whats really funny is the bunch of "me too" bandwagon of commenters who jump on stuff they haven't actually seen.
People concentrate too much on trying to hard to be intelectuals or elite like on everything by downright talking out of their ass on crap they don't know a thing about.

If you don't like the movie after seeing he thing then you know what, that's fine! At least ur opinion was your own and that's makes you an individual instead of a bandwagon hoping wannabe.

[Chevalier]

Why didn't Universal just release it over here at the beginning of April and not have to compete against Avengers? It was honestly not a well thought out release date by the studio.

[Run_bare]

Double Helix, they also make SH: Homecoming which was mediocre but better than Downpour. I think they need to concentrate and create their own original games.

[TheSaint]

Isn't this what's supposed to happen when you make shoddy products?

Make something decent and it won't flop, bit of a radical idea I know, but there it is.

[Sevir]

A few plot holes but it was done pretty well. I enjoyed it!

[SovereignSnaKe]

-Well I guess theres always Chernobyl Diaries this weekend.... ^_^

[JohnApocalypse]

$60? They expect you to pay as much as Max Payne 3 or Diablo 3?

[bangoskank]

Good. Hopefully studios have learned there lesson. Now I don't have to look forward to "Operation: The Movie" starring Sam Worthington as the Femur.

[tigertron]

I saw this last month and thought it was one of the worst films I've seen in years.

Bad acting
Lack of Liam Neeson
Lots of plot holes

[black911]

I miss the 90's

[hotrider12]

I cant wait for TWISTER THE MOVIE and "OPERATION": The Deadly Cut starring: MR.MAGOO

[Wikkid666]

LOL... how was it a flop? Cost $220 million to make. Made $240 worldwide in it's first week. Just because the domestic box office sucked doesn't make it a flop. Probably isn't going to do is well as they wanted but that's a gamble just about every movie takes.

[TotalHitman]

Yeah, well, that's what happen's when you put Rihanna in a movie. Fast Six producers should take note.

[Enigma_2099]

I blame Michael Bay. And I'm serious.

He put it in movie makers' minds that if they make it loud, flashy, and explode-y enough, while adding in robots, you can still make money off it even if your movie is s***.

[Avalanche]

lets get one thing straight. although the movie tanked in the States. it already made its budget over seas, so this movie DID NOT SINK UNIVERSAL. everything they make from here on out is straight prophet.

[lizard81288]

I think if you are going to make a movie based game, don't base it around the movie. Make it, its own thing. The Chronicles of Riddick video game, from what I heard, was great, and it had very little to do with the movie.

[GaminGuys]

I believe you are the loser Brutallyhonest, your name alone says it all. You put other people's posts down when it's an opinion. I don't believe anyone's opinion's are trash other than yours and if you weren't so offensive in the first place, you would not have got a PM would you. Stands to reason, if you keep your nasty mouth shut, you won't get any PM's so grow up and get a life. I have a family and a day job so the vampire crap is just another level of your lack of substance and insecurity. You would never want me at your door lol and again, pretty stupid comment, then again you are good at that eh?

[MacDonagh]

I cannot understand how anyone can be so snarky towards a film being a flop despite evidence of good international sales. It's fine to dislike a film based on it's premise, but it's best to actually research the story before throwing your weight behind it.
