You're worried about Sample Representation with a Size of 3?

Posted by: medv4380 on May 05, 12:15 in response to Antibody's post That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying there's whole...

Look Anecdotal evidence is always bad and 3 friends regardless of them all being Male is going to lead to bad conclusions. However, it really isn't hard to find women who hate the movie based on the trailer. My Wife in her mid 20's dislikes the trailer, and my coworkers girl friend in her 40's I believe dislikes the trailer as well. I suppose you're going to attack race next claiming that they're all white next so that must be the issue. At this point it's become a standard cliche to claim that all hatred for something on the internet must becoming from Single White Misogonestic Boys. Sorry, but the hate's comeing from all over and the supporters of the movie are just in damage control so the standard internet scape goat has been brought in to be slaughtered at the alter because tennage boys hopped up on testosterone tend to be the most crass in their hatred of anything.

I don't think its DOA (as of yet), but it's got hills to climb from all the negative press. people love to pile lobogotti May 05, 07:06

absolutely, thanks {nm} lobogotti May 05, 10:32

I'll be *shocked* if it beats Spy {nm} RamsFan2004 May 05, 07:09

Largely agree. The crowd crapping all over it is also largely the crowd that plays here, which explains the low price. shadowking May 05, 07:39

I thought maybe overaction from this thread too, and then this crept into one of my group texts... lobogotti May 05, 07:53

try this again... lobogotti May 05, 07:54

I think it is too soon to tell. Those invested in its failure DaveyWayne May 05, 08:24

rooting for failure is quite childish. that said, the press can certainly help to make it easy... lobogotti May 05, 08:27

I find it telling that the media loves to report the # of DaveyWayne May 05, 08:37

Personally I don't care either way. I've made a ton of fake bucks constantly flipping this stock. Long may it continue... hyperzeitgeist May 05, 08:29

two months out, so they've got time. {nm} lobogotti May 05, 10:33

Are your friends all guys? Did they go to see Bridesmaids opening weekend? {nm} Antibody May 05, 07:58

definitely not all guys, very diverse groups of friends. now that particular group of guys I'm doubtful all went opening weekend. lobogotti May 05, 08:06

But the three in your sample are all guys. {nm} Antibody May 05, 08:29

It's shortsighted to think this film was solely made for females. my example is potential target audience being soured. {nm} lobogotti May 05, 08:52

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying there's whole another audience whose opinion has not been represented. {nm} Antibody May 05, 09:25

that's fair. I would even say two audiences, females and families. {nm} lobogotti May 05, 09:54

+1, my girlfriend is very excited about the movie and wondering if she needs to watch the original now {nm} benz0 May 05, 10:18

Stop! This is not a white guy issue. Loved Bridesmaids, Spy, Pitch Perfect, Sister Act and several others. Can hardly wait for Bad Moms! {nm} PhoneHome May 05, 13:04

Loved female GHST3 concept and cast. Was looking forward to it, but the trailers look awful! {nm} PhoneHome May 05, 13:06

The bad buzz has clearly reached newsworthy levels, which may be a bad thing, or may be a 'no publicity is bad publicity type of thing' shadowking May 05, 08:05

completely agree with your comments. this is a tough one. lobogotti May 05, 08:16

To me 50/150 seems like the high end of what it could do MattW May 05, 08:10

Ghostbusters curse. We are not ready for female ghostbusters? The next ghostbusters add gay cast mike255 May 05, 08:20

You thank, yoda25 plus 5... Also for IM which helpfull is for understanding all and everything {nm} JMT-NL May 05, 08:47

Eventually people get sick of every comedian too. The cast and plot just aren't right. Most reboots/rehashes don't do well. The new incarna Baron_Darcon May 05, 09:07

I agree on the miscast - wrong actors were put together TwoMisfits May 05, 15:56
