thoughts on bourne

Posted by: islander (a.k.a del_USA_islander) on May 01, 07:00 in response to GMov's post Islander, good list...I agree with much of it...but out...

Looking at quite a few things for feeling this wont breakout. Universal already has Battleship and Huntsman ahead of it, will they have the $/interest to promote Bourne heavily? Then look at buzz, just at this board alone, no one is talking Bourne (tho granted its still early) And wheres the new trailer?

But the biggest reason is the loss of Damon. Big reason for the success of the trilogy was the character arc of Bourne, how the 3rd one was set up as the final chapter, and how well Damon was liked in the role. Renner (even tho I like him) is not Damon by a long shot. That they are starting over and with a lesser name means they get no where near the last ones $60 something OW. Probably half that, though legs could be good.

Total Recall opening same day might hurt a little

Islander, good list...I agree with much of it...but out of curiousity why so bearish on Bourne? Last one did $227MM and Renner should OK {nm} GMov Apr 30, 21:06
