Why didn't this movie do as well as it should have in cinemas?

I actually wanted to see it in the theater. but in the end I just didn't. I think people in general are going to theaters less and less, so the only movies that can float are those with rabid fans or appeals to the chinks.

Normies thought it was boring.

Normies would rather wacth other shitty marvel movie

in normal world because it just wasn't very good movie

in movie world it wasn't action comedy movie

It's capeshit pretending it's not capeshit. People don't like that.

I never saw the original Blade Runner.
I saw it recently (Not 2049) and found it very boring, actually.

It assumed that Blade Runner, as a franchise, was much more popular than it actually is. It obviously expected its audience to be familiar with the first movie which a lot of people probably aren't. It didn't help that it was a lot slower than the original Blade Runner, probably also putting off a lot of people who did like the first movie. So, in the end, not that many are left.

The amount of people that actually care for blade runner is highly exaggerated

Fandom echo chamber. Happens a lot of times.

It flopped because the budget was bloated. Earning 250 million ain't bad for a 3 hour movie.

I saw it in the theaters three times and was blown away by how impressive of a movie it was each time. Recently I got the BD and watched it again. I was unimpressed and found it to be mostly boring scenes interspersed with occasional enjoyable brief moments. I don't see what was so impressive in my initial theater viewings anymore. Any one else know these feels for this or other movies?

People are waiting for the final directors cut with a unicorn.

You know that meme video where David Lynch bitches about people watching movies on their phone? Well, just like there's a difference between watching a movie on a television or a phone there's one between watching it in a theater or a television. Especially when it's a very visual movie. Those are just more immersive in theater. I felt similar about Cloud Atlas.

It's actually more enjoyable after a few home viewings. If you asked me what I thought of it after coming out of the theatre I'd have said pretty shit. Now I've seen it two or three times on Netflix I'm thinking, okay, Jared Leto and Harrison Ford are awful, and K and Joi's relationship is underdeveloped, but it does deserve some credit for being a serious science fiction film that does have something to say. In fact I'd say it's maybe the 2nd best SF blockbuster of the last five years, after Fury Road

>3 hour atmospheric cyberpunk film that's not capeshit

Because there are actually several good people like myself who will never watch it on general principles. Regardless of how good it might actually be, the principle controls. And this is what makes me better than you.

>Jared Leto and Harrison Ford are awful
This. The worst acting in the movie is Ford. It was a flat boring performance that comes off as disengaged and resentful for having to be in the movie. Leto came off as a douche bag and little more. Both roles were miscast.

The original is overhyped, 2049 was superb though

Other way around. The original still holds up very well as a Science-Fiction Noire with fantastic atmosphere and a great perfoance by Rutger Hauer. The sequel is overly long, overly slow, has a, comparatively, painfully underwhelming soundtrack and devotes too much of its time to a second rate retread of Her. Better than most of what passes as Science-Fiction these days but doesn't hold a candle to the original.

You have to be an incel to truly appreciate it.

I liked it.

That's what happens when you direct one movie each year.

normies

maybe because ryan gosling is just emotionless for 3 hours

Tarantino went a bit overboard with that choking scene

Ford is a hack

i thought the AI """love""" story was good, if you see it as a simple mirror of K's loneliness and inner thoughts, at some point the advertisement for the AI literally says "i'll say what you want to hear", so you can see her scenes as a clever way to explain what's going on in K's mind without having a voice-over or some retarded monologue

Should have? Bro it should never even have been made but somehow we got incredibly lucky. There was a perfect storm of talent and passion and just plain gullibility on the part of producers and out of it we got the most burgandy-pilled kino of the century.

I saw both in chronological order. Blade runner is still iconic and has some great scenes but 2049 blows it away in terms of the lead actor and better visuals. Also 2049 applies to me more in terms of themes and feels.
