$4 million opening weekend with a $70 million budget.

There was a thread on here sometime last week that mentioned how poor the reviews were. Trailers were weird too - didn't generate any kind of excitement.

Kinda sad to see how far Mann has fallen. Public Enemies was very meh too, but at least it made money.

I just dont understand anyones motivation with that movie. Mann hadnt done anything in a while and this was the movie he decided to make?

Everyone knows that being a hacker doesn't include doing black ops and jumping from helicopters. This movie looks like it belongs in the 90's when everyone still thought hackers were genius, martial artist, spy hunters.

It opened unfortunately, or not, the same weekend American Sniper opened nationally. Direct competition, and it got blown away.

Does not surprise me. My buddy and I went to see it Friday night and we were the only two people in the theater, not joking. Never had that happen before. American Sniper was packed though...

I saw it. Was ok. Laughable action scenes and yeah Hemsworth had godlike fighting, detective and hacker skills

I didn't hate Public Enemies. It wasn't near as good as I hoped but it was okay

Bad casting. Hemsworth as a hacker?

Confusing presentation. Is it a hacking movie or an action movie?

Terrible weekend to open. As someone mentioned, right up against American Sniper.

All in all , a recipe for failure.
