Ben Hur Expected to be a MASSIVE Flop

With it's $100 million budget plus who knows how much on advertising (I've seen the commercial at least 20 times during the Olympics).
I still don't understand why they made this movie, but it's tracking to make a bout $11 million and finish 3rd in its opening weekend...maybe less.

Dumb dumb dumb idea. Nothing good could have came from this. The only good that MIGHT come from this is if they decide not to remake classic movies ever again.

Honestly I think the sad part is Kubo is only on track to make 12 million. It's fricking excellent and one of the best movies this year. The effort that went into it is astounding.

I hear the advertisement on radio and it annoys the piss out of me. Probably the overly raspy annoying " my name is Ben Hur" " you should have killed me". Don't watch TV so haven't seen the trailer, but if I had to guess I'd say a really old Jason Statham was playing the role.

Their radio spots were as annoying as Jimmy and grandpa and the lumens.

Horrible cast... Crap director...
I don't mind the idea of remaking this old classic but my goodness.

I haven't seen the original, but I still know this is a movie that is off limits for a remake.

Why would they remake this?
