It was interesting to read the reviews of Secret Life and Ghostbusters because they got good reviews, but reading them a lot of the reviews were more along the line of 'it's got flaws but overlook them'. Something a lot of the critics were unable to do with LOT.

I think Alex is going do fine regarding the reception from LOT. He did get some bad reviews, but overall I doubt that it's hurt his career. He did not get Taylor Kitsched, as many people where thinking/hoping.
The domestic box office is better than expected, but the overseas box office is less, I don't think it'll make 400 million, even with Germany and Japan opening next week.



Looking at Box Office Mojo's list of foreign countries they're missing a few that it's been released in, like Sweden, so the actual numbers may be a little higher.

Watching some of the trailers being released at ComicCon I've enjoyed some of them very much. But the King Arthur trailer is ... not good. Though someone at Box Office Theory suggested that WB market it like they did LOT, just focus on Hunnam's abs.

I don't know about 'Secret Life' but Ghostbusters has got some bad and controversial reviews as well but unlike in the Alex following, fans and followers didn't help media to spread bad buzz and negativity :cool:

I admit I wasn't too excited when I heard Alex is going to be a new Tarzan but the film wasn't anywhere near that bad I thought it will be, especially after reading all the negative press and bad reviews here. It was very enjoyable althought there could have been more Tarzan and Jane sexy time :biggrin:

Also it's good to hear that Tarzan is doing quite well moneywise, despite all the "fan support", bad press and negative reviews :angel:

The LA Times is reporting LoT took $28 million over its opening week in China. Not very impressive for the Chinese market.

In second place last week was Warner Bros.’ “Tarzan,” which opened Tuesday and took in $28 million in its first six days, according to Artisan. The film, which has earned more than $115 million stateside, hasn’t caught fire with Chinese audiences to the same degree.

Variety has different numbers:
In China, “Tarzan” opened on Tuesday (July 19) and topped the charts for two days. Over the Friday to Sunday period “Tarzan” earned $12.0 million. Its six day cumulative is $22.5 million. On the days the two leaders went head to head “Skiptrace” enjoyed market share in excess of 56%, while “Tarzan” was capped at 16%, according to data from CBO.

Same. And it looks like he snuck his own jeans (or a lookalike pair) in for it as well.

This was a very nice shoot. And does look like he's wearing his own, or mostly his own, clothes. While I didn't mind some of the shirts that Jeanne Yang got for him, I wasn't really thrilled with the pants and actually missed his basic jeans/t-shirt look.

For those interested in the fx of LOT, here's a nice interview with two of the men most responsible for it:
THE LEGEND OF TARZAN: Alex Pejic (VFX Supervisor) & Kevin Spruce (Animation Supervisor) – Framestore
http://www.artofvfx.com/the-legend-...kevin-spruce-animation-supervisor-framestore/

While LOT isn't a 'true' box office success, it has a much bigger audience than Alex has ever had for one of his projects. And I hope that perhaps those who didn't really know who was and liked his performance might check out some of his other work.
The Duffer Brothers, who wrote/directed Hidden, also have a new project out, Stranger Things on Netflix. It's getting good reviews. Perhaps Hidden will get a little more attention than it did last fall.
[In Defense of] The Duffer Brothers’ ‘Hidden’ (2015)
By Daniel Kurland on July 25, 2016
With the Duffer Brothers mysterious series “Stranger Things” currently burning up Netflix, we check in with their underseen debut feature
“’Cause we’re not animals, Zoey.”

Hidden might not be a film that conjures many feelings when it’s brought up. In fact, it might not even be a film that you’ve heard of. That being said, Hidden isn’t a bad movie. It’s not an amazing one, either, but it’s a very promising, controlled debut feature from Matt and Ross Duffer. Hidden is perfectly serviceable and achieves what it sets out to while still doing so in a creative, minimalist manner. Hidden’s lack of reputation and it failing to make an impact on audiences lies more on the fact of the film seeing an extremely limited release than anything to do with its quality. The simple truth is that most people don’t know this film even exists. Now more than ever however, with the Duffers’ release of Stranger Things and such similar “isolation apocalypse” stories becoming increasingly popular, it feels like an especially relevant time to revisit this film and reassess its merits in the current cinematic landscape....
Alexander Skarsgard does a fantastic job as Ray and keeping his daughter pacified while making the grisly reality that his family’s facing seem not so bad. It’s a testament to the idea of the power of family and how anything can be tolerable if you’re with people who love you...
Hidden might not be a perfect film, but it’s one that plays with a bunch of themes ahead of the curve while still subverting the norm in the process. It’s easy to see how this film could grab M. Night Shyamalan’s attention, spurring him to bring the duo over to the equally unpredictable first season of Wayward Pines. On top of this though, Hidden shows the work of growing filmmakers that are clearly only getting started and hopefully this title won’t remain hidden for much longer.

From The Library:

New interview from when Alex was promoting The Legend of Tarzan in Brazil (July 17, 2016)! He talks with Hugo Gloss about how he won the part of Tarzan, working with Margot Robbie, how to pronounce Skarsgård, *that* Tarzan sex scene, why he didn’t wear a loincloth in Tarzan and how he prepared for the role.

Trivia: He said he has no idea where the Christoph Waltz “kiss”rumor comes from and that he doesn’t remember making out with a man on set (”I think I would remember that. :-P” - Alex).

Nothing yet on the Greenpeace trip as far as I can tell just from looking around. I have a feeling this may be one of those trips where you don't get the story or photo's until later, with perhaps only a teaser photo, like the recent trip by Lena Headey to Greece for Marie Claire regarding the Syrian refugees.

Quite often, for security reasons (and especially the way the world is right now) information isn't given out as it happens but rather with a slight delay.

Here are some links anyhow for those that want to follow;
