This studio keeps lowering expectations for this rebooted installment of a franchise.
Two months ago they were saying $25M in the opening weekend and now they would be ecstatic with $10M which would still make it a huge bomb.
Charlie’s Angels
Film review: ‘Charlie’s Angels’ isn’t exactly heaven-sent
Having wrapped up Pitch Perfect, her trilogy on an all-girls a-capella group, producer-director-actor Elizabeth Banks turns to a reboot of Charlie’s Angels. The popular American TV show from the 1970s, which made stars of Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson, Cheryl Ladd and Jaclyn Smith, had earlier been adapted as the action-comedy films Charlie’s Angels (2000) and Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle (2003) with Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz.
Banks has directed the film, written the screenplay (based on a story by Evan Spiliotopoulos and David Auburn), and also plays Bosley. In her version, Townsend, a security and investigative agency, has expanded into a global network. Highly trained “Angels” are now stationed in several cities around the world under different handlers, all named “Bosley”. In keeping with tradition, archangel Charlie remains faceless – heard but never seen. – Source
