Well it opened and it bombed. In China, it made 7.6 mil (3 times less than Alien:Covenant) and 2.7 mil (1 more than Ac) in Japan, from start making 224 mil worldwide with a budget of more then 150 mil. (numbers from http://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Blade-Runner-2049#tab=international).

Would it now make commercial sense to continue towards AI-related stuff? Or why do you think things happened as such?

“Well it opened and it bombed.”

That is good in a way because maybe it makes Scott understand that not as many are interested in the AI angle in the Alien prequels as Scott might believe. Hopefully this will make them rethink the next Alien movie so we get less AI and better human characters. Maybe it is not too late to save this from being total crap.

On the other hand, the majority of those who have seen AC think Foxbender was the best part of it. So he could be in a conundrum here but I guess he will proceed as he wishes.

I really enjoyed BR 2049. Sad to see it's doing so poorly, but on the bright side this means they probably won't make a sequel and the Bladerunner franchise can go out on 2 great movies

 

......Like Alien should have.

IRaptus,dk  That show is on the sci fi channel, so maybe on cable or on the web?

dk I am glad you are liking Mindhunter. The way it is told is very classic and Fincher even directs about half of the episodes.
