Don't forget, Lee Majors was married to this stunner too!
I think this is about the most famous poster that has ever been printed
Also, Lee Majors will always be more known for playing Steve Austin

Derp you are correct. Well now we are down to one financially successful hit. Point, Majors. Minus DKP for me.

Yeah he wasn't nominated at the time of my post but the fact that he got another one only further supports my argument.

La La Land made 150M us and 450M worldwide off a 30M budget. It was very financially successful.
A lot of his other films might not have had monster totals but they were still successful because they didn't need monster budgets. Plenty of 3x-4x multiplier films in his catalog.
The Fall Guy is shaping up to be a flop, though.

But why even call it the fall guy? They are obviously angling for some genX nostalgia but all they do is piss me off with this stupid rebranding.
Dukes of Hazzard was awful. Road house was beyond awful. A-Team was dumb.
Stuff like Point break, Red Dawn, and now this I won't even watch.
Battle Star Galactica was the only one I can think of that was done with some reverence to the original, not just a stupid cash grab.

From what I remember the A Team was silly fun
Everytime I hear about Drive I want to listen to that damn soundtrack

Chris Pratt is a good actor, funny as hell, Doesnt tell anyone else how they should live, Loves his religion and wont be bullied out of Hollywood by the purple hairs. Hes a great role model.
Also, I get where you were going with the older actors, but anyone who thinks ANY child should idolize any actor is a bad beat. Thankfully alot of people are past that.

i wasnt just saying to emulate actors, but kids watch TV and movies. when i was a kid, Burt Reynolds and Ford were as cool as cool could be. i also thought the guys on Adam 12 and Emergency! were badass. i honestly thought i would grow up to be a cop or paramedic when i was 5 years old. actual police behavior ruined that for me. the paramedic thing got close to being a reality, but i didnt want to be depressed over all the trauma people suffered. on TV they can save most everyone. in reality, its not like that. but i was impressed with those men and how they carried themselves.

Is it a flop though?
Don't get me wrong, it won't make its budget back, which is a bummer given the stars, director, and craft involved. But Covid shutdowns, streaming options, and generational shifts have really hurt box office trends, likely permanently, in a way that movie budgets haven't adjusted to.
With only $35 mil in Week 1, odds are this will max out at $70 mil total in the US... but there were only 34 movies that topped $70 mil last year. Out of those, nearly all were sequels or adaptations of properties with entries in the last 20 years, and even most of those you could argue are part of a brand identity:
Oppenheimer (Nolan track record)
Sound of Freedom (Internet push)
Elemental (Disney animated movies)
Megan
Dungeons & Dragons (Obviously an ongoing media concern, but I can't imagine the made for DVD movies encouraged more viewers to watch this)
That's it for 2023. And I have a hard time imagining a forgotten TV show that hasn't aired in 38 years had any positive influence on The Fall Guy's total box office.
As for 2024, the only releases (so far) that will likely top The Fall Guy are
Dune (Sequel / Villaneuve track record)
Godzilla / Kong
Kung Fu Panda
Ghostbusters
Planet of the Apes
---
Or in conclusion, I'm not sure we should expect any new* IP to top ~$70 million, without some sort of internet trend / meme.
*Again, a TV show that hasn't been on the air in 38 years, with nothing in common but a couple character names and an occupation of one character, may as well be a new property.

What even happened with Chris Pine? He was a huge star with the Star Trek movies then just disappeared for a while till Wonder Woman and D&D.

All of that is irrelevant pursuant to the comment you started out with: it won't make its budget back. That's why it's a flop.

He was in that retarded dungeons and dragons last year but a lot of people won't watch him after he came out as a biden/hillary anyone but Trumper shill.
That political stance doesn't play nice with attempting to be a tough guy movie star. He should probably start wearing dresses and sucking cocks on TV to butter up to his new fans.
