Ocean's 8 did worse box office than Ocean's 11, 12 or 13 even without adjusting for inflation...

henrysmyagent · 2018-07-31T15:19:14+00:00

Reminds me of Ghost Busters. A truly horrible remake.

Curthurley · 2018-07-31T11:28:05+00:00

Theyll still be claiming its a success.

adventurefoundme · 2018-07-31T13:04:00+00:00

Really?? Cause I saw loads of man hating articles talking about how they should have ditched the men long ago and things like blaming the "male director" for the film.

Basherballgod · 2018-07-31T11:34:28+00:00

It nearly made 77% of Oceans 12...

Ungratefulz · 2018-07-31T14:19:14+00:00

Seems like the ocean films have been losing popularity kinda fits right in there perfectly

Don't wanna be a dick or anything but Ocean's 11 (which I believe itself was a remake) was the last really good movie. Sequels and prequels and sequel sequels...

Maybe they should get an all star female cast to film a great NEW movie instead of rehash a dead horse. The 4th film in a series that should have never even gotten a sequel? Really? It should have been done at Ocean's 11, that film was amazing.

HotPink124 · 2018-07-31T15:39:26+00:00

I feel like this has more to do with the fact that no one gives a fuck about oceans anything anymore. But I guess it could be a bit of both.

dexfagcasul · 2018-07-31T18:25:38+00:00

I was talking to my GF about this and we both agree remaking old movies with feminist over tones is pretty retarded.

No one has an issue with feminist movies as long as they are original and GOOD. No one wants these forced remakes just for “muh lead character has a pussy”. It’s lazy and even more insulting to their movement if you ask me.

quiznex · 2018-07-31T17:15:13+00:00

Why didn't I watch this movie? Because it's unoriginal and from a movie series I don't enjoy. I spent my money on Ant Man and the Wasp where the Wasp was fucking awesome.

davisyoung · 2018-07-31T17:57:12+00:00

Well, tossing Mindy Kaling onto the pile of worthless opinionated cunts now. I actually liked her as she usually came across as being smart enough to stay away from the whole political sphere. Apparently I was wrong.

johnchapel · 2018-07-31T19:17:40+00:00

was it even good? Im down for literally ANY caper/heist movie but if its just a movie about female empowerment I'm probably gonna pass.

illeaglealien · 2018-07-31T18:58:43+00:00

3 reasons why oceans 8 did not do as good as the others?

1st - Mindy Kaling 2nd - Mindy Kaling 3rd - Mindy Kaling

spideyjiri · 2018-08-01T00:54:30+00:00

Here's another all female idea: Saving Private Rhea!

It can be about a group of female US soldiers in WW2 (shut up shitlord, womynx were involved) and the "Rhea" they are saving will just be modern day butch lesbian anti-comedian Rhea Butcher who couldn't be bothered to pretend that she's in WW2 because it's too much work.

And of course, all the Nazis will be wearing maga hats and the only male on the Allies side is hunky brain-dead Brit.

RowdyBusch · 2018-08-01T01:36:43+00:00

Mindy Kaling is a talentless and disgusting cow.

Took my selfish, never satisfied, cunt of an ex-girlfriend out to see this, (her donkey-brained idea) and can confirm, it sucked worse that she did.

Go to hell Melissa!

rokudaimehokage · 2018-07-31T18:46:58+00:00

I mean what were they looking to accomplish? To cash in on the female demographic for the Ocean Number Heist series?? Ya because women notoriously loooove this franchise and it was so important that we give give female Ocean Number Heist series fans the female driven story they've always asked for.

Nobody asked for this and I really hope this is a wake up call for Hollywood to stop making movies where they Rule 63 the genders. It's not funny or cute, if you want to make a new Ocean Number Heist movie then put some girls in there as members and throw some guys in there too. Make it interesting for the viewer. Because all we see is a 2 hour long virtue signal.

SpoonyMan · 2018-07-31T20:52:41+00:00

I loved the Ocean's movies and even though my gut was telling me it was a bad idea, I went to see it. Not even ten minutes in, Danny Ocean is dead. Oh, boy. Natural causes? I dunno.

They left no room for a sequel even if they did one, really. The other Ocean's movies did a good job portraying Terry Benedict as the victim you'd love to hate. In this one, not so much. The victims are people who are actual victims of a crime. People you'd feel sympathy for. In the end, a lot of people who did nothing but their jobs are getting the axe and possibly a tarnished reputation.

More than half of the "crew" is composed of edgy, I'm-too-smart-and-sophisticated-for-this-shit women. All forgettable as actresses. The only ones worth a damn are Sandra Bullock, female Rusty Ryan and the dressmaker/fashion designer/whatever. That's about it. None of them had any synergy with each other. None had charisma. No Malloy twins. No Linus. No Frank Catton. Just a bunch of women pretending to be suave.

In the end, I regretted the money I spent on the ticket. And this movie is a stain on an otherwise great movie series. But that's like...my opinion, man.

realvmouse · 2018-07-31T23:13:46+00:00

Curious how this compares to other 4th sequels with an almost complete change in cast from the 3rd to 4th after having a relatively consistent cast through the first 3. Is making 86.5% as much as the third (when the 3rd made 85.9% as much as the second, which made 80.4% as much as the original) unexpected or "womp womp"-y?

Oh, let's adjust for inflation though for fun (*I am not an economist and have never done such calculations before):

Ocean's 11(2001): $450m;
In 2004 dollars, this is 480m
In 2007 dollars, this is 527m
In 2018 dollars, this is 640m
(Courtesy of www.in2013dollars.com)

So percent of revenue, adjusted for inflation, vs the original:

Ocean's 12: 75%
Ocean's 13: 59%
Ocean's 8: 42%

So there was a drop in revenue of:

25% from 11->12
16% from 12->13
17% from 13->8

chambertlo · 2018-08-01T01:44:16+00:00

Good. So, all of the franchises that replaced men with wahmen have failed. Excellent.

magister0 · 2018-08-01T02:20:40+00:00

Just more proof of the oppressive patriarchy we all live under.

wataDs · 2018-08-01T06:09:50+00:00

A chick flick that didn't hit with the chicks. Obviously a retargeting of demographics in this franchise. Whatever.

thedumbdoubles · 2018-08-02T15:07:36+00:00

To be fair the budget was just a bit over 80% of Oceans 12. And it's domestic gross was higher than that of Oceans 12 (just looking at raw numbers, not inflation adjusted).

This doesn't really seem like ppd to me. The movie didn't flop. I don't recall any asshole behavior on the part of the cast or anything ... Much as I enjoy seeing entitled people get shut down, male or female, this doesn't fit ...

LimousineLibtard · 2018-07-31T18:19:54+00:00

Did anyone actually watch this steaming pile of garbage?

gatorfan45 · 2018-07-31T18:54:12+00:00

I mean their budget was $70 million. Yeah it didnt match up to the other ones but they made back their investment and more. That's pretty successful.

big_lurk · 2018-07-31T22:41:54+00:00

Well I mean they only had about 72% of cast that Ocean's 11 had.

mashu88 · 2018-07-31T23:38:51+00:00

Wait. This movie already came out? Omg I had no idea.... What the fuck

subbookkeepper · 2018-08-01T04:12:25+00:00

xVoluntasx · 2018-08-01T00:49:34+00:00

Mindy Kaling has got to be the ugliest actress i've ever seen

what the hell is she even famous for?

bunnymud · 2018-07-31T18:35:34+00:00

This was just a spin-off movie.

Didn't see it (not my kind of movie) but it did pretty well for what it was.

I believe there is a sequel in the works. Then again, maybe not unless the talent takes a pay cut.

Kryptosis · 2018-07-31T22:34:57+00:00

I was confused about the title until I realized they'd released a NEW Oceans movie. Is that thing where they have fuck-all for marketing and then blame the failures of the film on Sexism? To make back the money off the drama-click articles?

hadtocommentonporn · 2018-07-31T23:03:34+00:00

I saw this. It's good. It's not great... for me. I'm not the demographic though. My date on the other hand was the demographic. She loved it. She ate it all up, but there was one thing that she absolutely hated. Since we were alone in the movie theatre I basically spoiled everything for her by calling out all the obvious telegraphing the movie did.

I called out the "twist" regarding Anne Hatheway's character as soon as they completed the team... that was only 7 members strong.

I called out the stealing of all the other jewels as soon as they announced that there were jewels other than the Tousad

I called out Sandra setting up her Ex for the fall as soon as she told the bank she needed to make a deposit, when she just asked for money 2 minutes earlier

Yeah, they didn't write this movie very well. Everything was extremely obvious. But the acting was good, and the premise was decent. But the key to a movie like this is that it needs to be fun. For my date, the movie was extremely fun because there aren't too many good heist movies that have an all female cast. But for me, I would have rather have watched Ocean's 11 again. It was just more.... fun.

SamuelArk · 2018-08-01T02:51:20+00:00

Chris Delia a joke about this movie 8-9 months ago. Outside of that i didn't even know it was a thing.

steb24 · 2018-08-01T07:56:43+00:00

They blame white men for that. Lmao

RompeChocha · 2018-08-01T08:37:42+00:00

I heard this movie sucked. But it still made a lot of money.

BigGreenYamo · 2018-08-01T09:16:05+00:00

I was just listening to a stand-up yesterday (I think it was John Mulaney), and the bit was from several years ago. He said an Ocean's 11 movie with all women just wouldn't work because the women would all fight with each other. I guess he was half right.

batfish55 · 2018-08-01T09:16:53+00:00

Patriarchy! /s

2018-08-02T03:35:50+00:00

There is a scene when it's said they don't want to recruit men because women are given pussy passes i.e. are less suspicious to security.

AdrianWerner · 2018-08-04T12:59:31+00:00

I wonder if it wouldn't do far better as a different IP, instead of women taking over men's one.

JawAndDough · 2018-08-09T23:20:02+00:00

It was a meh movie with an overdone concept that was basically a similar heist where the sister of Daniel gets out of jail and gets a group of criminal specialists together to steal something while she gets revenge, only to have a twist at the end where they reveal there was a secret plan all along that the audience didn't know about. Of course it will continue to make less than the original.

2018-08-12T16:24:15+00:00

As expected.

2018-08-22T09:11:32+00:00

Good, its a horrible movie, and not only because it's showing all the men in the movie are bad.

2018-09-10T02:18:01+00:00

I was watching the movie today, and believe me: I really tried to like it. But I found it derivative of the previous movies in a bad way. It was following a formula (which is ok), and trying too hard to be a part of the canon: it forces itself to be onto the ocean movie style, while simultaneously peddling feminist fodder.

So the outcome is that what the movie abounds in style, it lacks in fun: the remade characters are incarnations of the previous fun characters, but these come across as joyless and preachy (looking at the central park bathroom scene with Sandra Bullock), and this made the whole experience deflating and lackluster.

I hope they can inject some joy in the future!
