To follow up my last post in here, unsurprisingly, the Japanese trailer features much more of Asano, who didn't even show up in a frame of the American trailer.

THis is definitely one movie I am not going to see. I am not going to even let myself be dragged to it, because I need my brain this summer for GI Joe to kill.

From Deadline:

[quote="NIKKI FINKE "]At Universal, Peter Berg’s military vs aliens actioner did only John Carter-low grosses for high cost ([b]which is why the star of both pics, Taylor Kitsch, will be asking “You want fries with that?â€

It flopped BIG time domestic. Worldwide, its right around its budget. Chances are it won't make a very good profit. Movies usually have to make around tripe their budget to be considered truly successful endeavors.

I'm willing to bet they purposely opened it right after Avengers, since now the story is "Avengers kills Battleship, Dark Shadows,Expecting, etc,"instead of just "Battleship sinks."
Everyone keeps their job since noone expects you to beat a movie with years of hype and a huge premade fanbase.

It was a weird uneven movie. Not executed well. I was in the Navy so I liked seeing the Missouri but it would take more than the crew they had to get her going. Especially when the gun turrets alone took close to a hundred men to operate each one. In fact someone posted something on movie mistakes.com about it:

The USS Missouri is a 68-year-old museum ship. Only a few museum ships are still able to sail under their own power. The USS Missouri, however, is not one of them, and could never have left port. There is no fuel on board, corrosion has done serious damage to the rotor blades and controls, and if one was to try and refire the boilers, they would surely explode. Also, there is no ammunition on board, plus all controls have been stripped, and all tubes and barrels blocked to prevent dirt from damaging them. Therefore, it cannot ever fire a shot again. Though it was renovated in 2010, it was mostly to prevent it from rusting away and sinking.

Wow, you went to see it? Even I am not willing to see this stinking pile of sludge.

The tag line for the weekend should be, "Tony sunk their Battleship."

BTW, is that Taylor guy ever going to actually pick a good movie to be in? I mean, Wolverine, John Carter, and now Battleship? This dude needs to fire his agent or something.
