It was a VERY good movie. Smart sci-fi. But man, it was soooo long. Cut 20 minutes and this movie is perfect.
I don't understand why the movie doesn't make more at the box office, though... the story is great, the visuals are awesome for a big screen, you have excellent actors... what's not to like besides the fact it's too long?
It may be worth mentioning that there's likely a practical drawback to the run time and that's that theaters are probably able to fit at least one less showing in per day and, maybe, only one prime slot at night. Whereas a 2:00-long movie could have prime showtimes of 7:00 and 9:30, a 2:45-long movie might have only an 8:30 prime showtime. I'm just guessing, but that could maybe reduce revenue by 25%.
That doesn't come close to explaining things, but then you have the fact that it's rated R and came out in October. Maybe all of those little things add up. Also, I'm never a good judge of this, since I don't watch much network TV or even commercials, but I haven't seen much of any marketing. If I weren't a visitor to this forum, I might not realize that the movie is even out... and, as someone who grew up with Blade Runner, this movie is up my alley. Imagine how anyone new to the franchise would learn that something that they may like is in theaters.
