Dear CaBron: Just because you are a conceited jackass and people refuse to spend money on a shitty movie you does not mean systematic racism at the box office. It simply means your movie is disappointing and you should stick to play b-ball. You are not the first athlete to venture in the movie business only to suck and crash.
Get over yourself.
PS: We still like Michael Jordan better.
Multiply the original space jam numbers by 1.7 to account for inflation, and it looks even worse. :-/
But, yeah, no way could the movie just suck. No way could people just be going to fewer movies in the theater, a trend the Wuhan flu did not start but certainly has accelerated. And no way a movie that’s part of a major franchise, so that people will go see it even if it’s “eh,” will do so much better than a 25-year-later sequel to something not that memorable in the first place.
Yep, none of that should make a bit of difference.
ok
Michael Jordan was famously a gentlemen on and off the court. He was also very non-political, only going as far as saying one time “Republicans buy shoes too.”
James is a loudmouth who can’t help but criticize America while fellating China like it’s his job (which, arguably, it is).
Also, when I was a kid (I was 12 when the first Space Jam came out) Looney Toons were still a thing we kids watched.
Do kids watch Looney Toons anymore? Are they still a think? My kids watch Nick Jr, Disney+, and other kids channels and I haven’t seen a Looney Toons character in forever.
If this was supposed to appeal to parents who want to take their kids for nostalgia reasons, we’d sit them down with the original Space Jam, not take them to the theaters to see this hot garbage.
Look a little closer at the posting account name. It’s not real.
That being said, Space Jam 2 did bomb, and IIRC China opted to not allow it into theaters. Despite LeBron doing everything but giving Winnie the Xi a hummer.
I also didn’t say it wasn’t *very plausible*…
What makes you think that big tree swinger doesn’t blow every Chinese dude that wants one?
What’s sad is that I could easily see him, or one of a number of other people, saying exactly that.
Michael Jordan was likeable and funny, Lebron is not. There’s your sales difference. Also, doing a movie for a second go around is rarely as successful as the first, no matter what.
Also, Jordan will always be a better player than LeBron no matter what anyone says.
Fun fact- the majority of sequels as good as the original were directed by James Cameron.
“King” James’ space jam sequel was also obliterated by Emma Stone playing a woman who wants to drape dog fur over her body, so…
