haven't posted on here in awhile. I don't really know why. I thought about posting on here a few times but then by the time it occurs to me, whatever prompted the notion fizzles out...
Anyway... stumbled on this....I honestly don't recall the movie sounding this bad. What's even more laughable is the "Hasbro Cinematic Universe" For crying out loud....
15 Box Office Flops Everyone Saw Coming
'Battleship' (2012)
Who hasn’t played the game Battleship and thought, “What if this were a two-hour movie instead?” Universal Pictures heard those cries and gifted audiences everywhere with the sci-fi action extravaganza Battleship. In the film, war games for a naval fleet take on deadly stakes when an alien invasion interrupts the planned exhibition. After several ships are contained within an energy field, the trapped soldiers will need to fight for their lives.
A movie based on a board game was met with more than a few chuckles, even with the cult-classic Clue as proof it can be done. However, a bloated budget that came in somewhere at an estimated $220 million made turning a profit a near-impossible feat for Universal, especially with a $65 million take-home domestically. Battleship’s failure turned out more disastrous than even its critics were expecting, sinking Universal’s planned Hasbro Cinematic Universe. So, depending on your tastes, this story possibly has a happy ending. —Brad LaCour
