The Huntsman figures are a little misleading. It actually had a great opening weekend, WORLDWIDE. In fact, it\’s opening weekend gross was better than SWATH\’s. Worldwide: $98,581,697 for The Huntsman, only $95,600 for SWATH. It\’s funny you always focus on the domestic box office, when increasingly, films are making the majority of their gross overseas. I don\’t suppose you will correct the record to accurately reflect that The Huntsman had a better opening weekend worldwide than SWATH did. Huntsman also had a production budget of $117 million, and it\’s almost recouped that on opening weekend. This film will go on to be profitable, so to declare the franchise dead or even wounded at this point is a joke. You can do the projections as well as I can, and you know this movie will be profitable. So the Jungle Book had a great opening? That\’s great, but in the long run, I think we\’ll see another in the Huntsman franchise.

Love Tom Hanks, but "a home run every time out"? Outside of Bridge of Spies and Captain Phillips, his films have been critical or commercial failures for over a decade now. He is in serious need of some consistency after, and I\’m excluding forgotten supporting parts, Saving Mr Banks, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Cloud Atlas, Larry Crowne, Angels and Demons, Charlie Wilson\’s War, and The Da Vinci Code… it\’s been over a decade since Hanks was money in the bank (though his performances are always on point, including with this one, from what I hear.)
