I think they backlash they received from the new Doom backstory (Doom pissed off internet mod) is when the studio really started to step in
Fox apparently cut 3 big action set pieces days before shooting began on Fantastic Four
quote:It sounds like Fox didn't want to put in the money for this one like they promised Trank in the beginning. That probably put a big strain in the relationship between Trank and Fox from the get go. It may be the reason why Trank started acting like a dip shite during production. I'm sure the Dr Doom origin backlash didn't help things either. Maybe one day somebody will make a cool documentary on this like The Death of Superman Lives. I just wish they would have decided to kill this one in the beginning like WB did that one. Fox would rather finish a piece of shite in order to keep the rights.
"I've got a source, fairly close to the production of this film, who had told me that the movie that Josh Trank and Fox had agreed on making — included 3 really big action set pieces. That was all agreed upon, it was part of the flow of the movie. And a movie is like a puzzle, you have all the pieces in place. You start messing with pieces and suddenly the whole puzzle can look out of whack. And they had agreed upon this vision for a film. And days before production began, Fox came in and made him pull 3 main action sequences out of the film. I was also told, the ending of the film was not even Josh Trank's. At some point they hijacked the editing bay from him. To the point that the editing of the film was done without him."

i have no clue how it cost $122 million. i wonder if that number still reflect the 3 cut actions scenes or not.

somebody's head will roll over it.
they are going to lose a shite ton of money on this flick.
the actuals are now in and it made just $25.6m domestically and $34.1m internationally for a cumulative of $59.7 in the first weekend.

Normally, in a second weekend a movie makes about half what it made in its first but w/word of mouth and reviews being so terrible I fully expect it to have a drop of 60% or more for something like $8-$11m.
It's a tad early to say since we won't get the Monday numbers until 2pm-ish tomorrow making the weekday takes hard to predict but F4 might actually have a hard time reaching $60m total in its domestic run.
