Why didnt this movie make all the money?
@Bryancd I guess you nailed it. I do think the runtime had something to do with it, cause I know how ADD people are now and cant sit still for longer than 90 minutes. Cause thematically it wasnt confusing or anything, it flowed well, and let you think about the scene and the impact it had on the characters. Well your young friends are squares then :lol Either that or the following is all the hermits that dont go to the movies and will wait for it to come out on demand. Still bums me out though.The Producers thought that there was a big geek audience who would go see this as well as attract others who were not.
It did'nt.
For all my young friends this movie was not even a blip on their radar, they had not even seen the original and those that did were bored by it.
It would seem the big "Cult" following Bladerunner has is really not that big at all

Dude there is no way the theatrical cut of Fellowship of the Ring was 3 hours and 48 mins! :lolThey are hip they just could care less about Blade Runner or Star Trek, which burns me up to no end, They all love Star Wars though.
As far as 2049 being a long movie and turning off the young crowd, nonsense look at the run times of the Lord Of The Rings Triology, Lord Of The Rings clocked in at 3 hrs 48 min, Two Towers, 179 min, Return of The Kings, 201 min.
Some of these same people Marathon that series and laugh at the "Old Man" when i tell them they are crazy! :lol
Blade Runner was always a polarizing movie that you either love or hate and as I posted earlier the fanbase is thought to be much larger than it is.
it will be interesting to see what the Digital Blu sales are on it

It's funny my 10 year old son watched it twice with me and loved it. He can't wait for the Blu ray and also wants Deckards gun. If I told him I saw it again on Sunday with his Grandfather he would kill me.

Yeah but that was almost a whole generation ago.My mistake I was looking at the blu-ray extended, the film release clocked in at 178 minutes which STILL is even longer than 2049 which is 164.
So there you go there ARE some films that the so called "ADD people" can and DO sit through just was'nt this particular film and the box office reflects that
Yeah but that was almost a whole generation ago.

Did he enjoy the scene where the woman gets gutted like a fish?
I said almost.Generation ago?!
C'mon Man it has not been THAT long :lol
It baffles the hell out of me why they would sit through those movies and not 2049 but there it is.
As was the original so is the box office for 2049
It doesn't actually show it happening but I'm not about to wrap my kid up in cotton wool so he's a little snowflake if that's what you mean. I saw worse when I was a kid. Kids see way worse these days just by watching the 6'oclock news stories. I watched the original when I was younger than him in the 80's.
Ben
I said almost.

"You've done a man's job, sir!"
I agree wholeheartedly. I have friends that don't let their kids see anything mildly violent, and they're straight up weird. However, I also understand that is their parents decision to make.
Generation ago?!
C'mon Man it has not been THAT long :lol
Easily half a generation, at any rate.FotR came out 16 years ago. The "young crowd" that was young when those were in theaters are no longer quite so young, and the "young crowd" today is young enough they likely didn't see those movies in theaters, unless they were like me with Star Wars and their parents took them when they were too young to register much.
Huh, I have ADULT friends who do that. Drives me crazy.Although, I'm still waiting for her to just be quiet and pay attention to the movie; instead of continually asking me what's happening on a 30 second lag time...
