Elizabeth Banks Blames Men For Embarrassing 'Charlie's Angels' Flop At the Box Office

In case you haven’t heard, the latest remake of Charlie’s Angels” absolutely bombed at the box office.

As in, bombed hard. The movie, which stars Kristen Stewart and two other actresses you’ve never heard of, raked in a paltry $8.6 million on opening weekend in North America (including Thursday), even less than the modest $12-15 million it was expected to pull.



Yep, according to this, Banks blamed men’s unwillingness to go see action movies that star women in their lead roles for her movie’s embarrassing flop.

“Look, people have to buy tickets to this movie, too. This movie has to make money,” she said. “If this movie doesn’t make money, it reinforces a stereotype in Hollywood that men don’t go see women do action movies.”

“They’ll go and see a comic book movie with Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel because that’s a male genre,” Banks told the Sun. “So even though those are movies about women, they put them in the context of feeding the larger comic book world, so it’s all about, yes, you’re watching a Wonder Woman movie but we’re setting up three other characters or we’re setting up ‘Justice League.’”



“By the way, I’m happy for those characters to have box office success,” Banks added. “But we need more women’s voices supported with money because that’s the power. The power is in the money.”

SHAME ON YOU BOYOS! BIRDS OF PREY, YOU ARE NEXT!

comic book movies are a male genre but standard action movies are not?

Kristen Stewart's hairstyle threw me off immediately. I did not give this movie a chance once I saw her appearance.

The Charlie’s Angels movie from 20 years ago was a commercial success. Maybe they should consider why, it was before they started on the latest feminist revolution and they used bigger name actresses.

lol at the new feminist act where they think men are obligated to watch their chit movie, their crap basketball teams ect.

Gee imagine having to actually work to produce a good product instead of throwing together a pile of crap and expecting to get affirmative action points for having vaginas.

Can these feminist come up with an original idea? Or are they just going to do remakes of old movies written by men?

I don't know if she's just dumb, or she's intentionally misrepresenting this. My guess is it's intentional to get the "muh misogyny" sympathy.

In most cases, people (not just men) don't want to go see action movies with female leads because it is UNREALISTIC. In normal day to day life, and throughout history it hasn't been femininity that's chased down the bad guy, taken down nazis, or stopped the cartel. It's been bad ass dudes. It's just realistic, and when I am watching a movie that the environment/world is meant to appear/feel like normal real life, I expect the story and characters to fit that.

Female superheros work... because it is complete fantasy land, people have suspended what they know to be true, or whats "normal", and accepted that the person(s) you're seeing have superhuman traits that make them capable of greater than normal feats. So nobody has a problem with a female who can fly and has super strength beating up the big scary bad guy, because she should be able to.

People just want a realistic storyline and casting based on the world the movie takes place.

Neither I nor any other male I know of had a problem with Sigourney Weaver in Aliens or Linda Hamilton in Terminator being badass female lead actresses. Same thing with Uma Thurman in Kill Bill for a more somewhat recent example.

It’s all the woke “we’re oppressed!” bullish!t they’re shoving down our throats that keeps us away. We don’t wanna be preached to and they just can’t accept that.

Women even ruined a move that was supposed to be full of women.

Lol @ blaming men. Didn't the original charlies angels consist of 3 women as well? So how can they spew this bs?
It's not like they remade an old movie with an all male cast and replaced it with women only like ghost busters and then used this excuse.
Women...

Charlie's Angels shouldn't be 2/10's

And why don't women buy tickets to see women action movies and encourage them? Probably the same reason no one gives a chit about boring female sports.

The 2018 Tomb Raider with Alicia Vikander also didn't do so well too (it made $275 million, & needed $275 million to break-even). That Tomb Raider was actually a decent movie.

Lol yeah. It has nothing to do with genders, but modern femninazis will find a way to make themselves the victim and blame the entire world besides themselves

They’ll go and see a comic book movie with Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel because that’s a male genre



This woman is f ucking stupid. Does she not know how many females are into comic book movies because of strong female characters like Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, Black Widow etc. She's just pissed because she sucks as a director and her movie tanked.

It was an objectively terrible movie, and Kristen Stewart didn't even kiss a girl. 0/10
