Apparently, the film was tracking with predictions for its first week and then fell off 70% in its second week, so I think word of mouth did play a part. But mostly it was the trailers for the movie... there was just nothing interesting there. It's the reason I didn't bother seeing it in the cinema and just waited for streaming.

Actually, what REALLY killed it was international. It made less globally than it did on its domestic opening weekend! And it only made $13.5M on opening weekend! |

They must have. Combined, both grossed nearly $700M worldwide at the box-office alone but cost about $330M to make and market. That also doesn't include how much they made on DVD and Bluray for home video and rentals.

Has here ever been a good GI Joe live action movie?
Some of the Transformers ones were entertaining but I fell asleep on the last couple GI Joes I tried to watch. |

Retaliation likely didn't, because they had to convert it to 3D and missed the original release date. They basically had to double their marketing spend. Whatever the listed budget was... it was bigger than that. Again, don't just look at overall grosses, look at WHERE the grosses come from. If your movie is heavily international dollars, you have to make a lot more of them. Quote:

Well, it took six tries for Transformers it did take 6 tries to get a good Transformers movie finally. All it took was getting rid of Michael Bay, who's bright idea was it again to give Bay 5 Transformers movies? Oh, that's right Lorenzo Di Bonaventura.

They need to get rid of him completely. He's a plague on Hasbro's brands like Walter Hamada and Tobey Emmerich were for DC and Kathleen Kennedy is for LucasArts.
