For anyone on the Jack Ryan-bashing bandwagon... (BoM link, RT, a few box office and other comments) KalElFan Jan 19, 12:00

I really like CPINE. I just want Jack Ryan to have a low OW so I can make a few bucks. After that... it can do well if it can. jakemongoose Jan 19, 12:25

It's all halted now of course. Looks to me like the main stock will be a slight long, the OW and Call shorts, Put long. {nm} KalElFan Jan 19, 13:24

That would work ;p jakemongoose Jan 19, 13:44

According to BOM estimates, it looks to be -4.48 {nm} PVL Admin Jan 19, 15:30

There is no one pushing for a sequel at Paramount but it looks like international is doing well {nm} notfabio Jan 19, 12:58

This was actually an unrelated spec script Moscow that was rewritten into a Jack Ryan film. Die Hard 3 and 4 similarly were based on specs {nm} notfabio Jan 19, 13:02

I recall that original Moscow title now that you mention it. Boxofficemojo also has the early $22.2M Foreign up on the summary pg now. {nm} KalElFan Jan 19, 13:10

I read that both Die Hards 1 and 2 were both not originally designed to be Die Hard films as well. Jay_Beezy Jan 19, 14:49

Here's the link to the current 3,313 IMDb votes, 27.3% 7/10 and 18.7% 6/10, 17.5% 8/10, 13.2% 10/10, 3.4% 1/10 {nm} KalElFan Jan 19, 13:44

I've seen it. Don't need to cite critic reviews to me. It's awful. It's completely worthy of all the scorn it gets. thatpj Jan 19, 13:01

Just citing facts mostly, pj. Your opinion is valid for you, but the consensus and numbers are what they are. Remember... KalElFan Jan 19, 13:15

I could also say that it lost out to a purple squirrel movie too, if you want to "cite facts". thatpj Jan 19, 13:48

Good snark. :-) But I say kudos to the little critter for bucking its 13% RT. :-) {nm} KalElFan Jan 19, 14:15

And point proven that RT is nothing more than opinions, certainly not fact. Nothing that would sway my stock holdings any more billy75 Jan 19, 14:31

Any given RT review is one opinion, any given IMDd vote one vote, any given ticket bought one ticket, and individual decisions about HSX... KalElFan Jan 20, 00:42

Critic reviews are only useful to me when I find one that I mostly agree with over and over again. Otherwise it's just one opinion. {nm} PVL Admin Jan 19, 15:31

It's #1 in China... {nm} PVL Admin Jan 19, 15:26
