Steven Soderbergh: Haywire is doing 'terrible' (Video)

Steven Soderbergh, director of the action-thriller Haywire, starring former Strikeforce women's champion Gina Carano, had the misfortune of getting cornered by the bloodhounds from TMZ at the airport baggage terminal.
So, how's Haywire doing at the box office?
"Terrible," he replied. Which in my opinion, worth about as much as the pixels it's printed on, is a damn shame, because Haywire is actually a pretty good movie. I gave it a very positive review prior to its release but it failed to attract viewers to the box office, coming in at number six with just over eight million in its opening weekend.
The other two new releases for the week ending Jan. 22, 2012, were Underworld: "Awakening" ($25.3 million) and Red Tails ($18.7 million), number one and two on the charts, respectively.
Anyone think this KO's Carano's future as a box office leading lady? Or is she destined for Tinseltown regardless of Haywire's success?

The movie only cost 25 mil, it will do just fine, internationally and in DVD/Blu-Ray
Of course it’s below expectations, but Gina will be fine regardless.

what makes you think that?
Soon as my flow starts, I compose art like the ghost of Mozart
Even though they all say that they're real, I know that most aren't
Boy you think you're clever don't you, girl you think you're so smart
Come with me to another side of the world... so cold and so dark
because regardless of anything, Gina's always gonna be FINE, as in a 10, gorgeous, beautiful
I really wanted to like this movie. I really, really did. Gina did a pretty decent job as the strong silent type. Its just that the movie having such a weak storyline with no good twists, surprizes or hooks seemed a little flat and a bit on the convoluted side in an attempt to make the movie more interesting. IMO this should have been along the lines of Le Feme Nikita or that Bridget Fonda movie I forgot the name of . It was also a little disturbing watching Gina get beat the fuck up by a man(cyborg jokes aside). If only Kill Bill had never been made up until now and Gina got cast at Beatrix. The beach fight scene with Obi Wan was pretty wack as well. This movie just didnt come together like it should have, but I dont think it had anything to do with Gina.

That doesn't answer why he says the movie is gonna
do well internationally and on DVD

gina is too boring I don't think she'll ever be a big hit
If you watch her interviews she’s bland an boring, I don’t think she has it in her to be a leading actor, especially when her first gig she’s getting her voice replaced…not really surprised its a dud

She has a charm about her in interviews imo. It is refreshing to me.
She had her voice replaced? wow, haven’t heard about that.

having seen the movie, it totally sounds like Ginas voice
however there is one scene where it appears as though her voice was dubbed into the scene after the fact

That reminds me when Schwartzneggar had his voice replaced in the movie Hercules in New York. He was called Arnold Strong then.

critics disagree and you're wrong about voice
her voiced wasn’t dubbed, its was altered in post. She also had no real acting coach usage, is that because she was soo good?!
speaking of her performance & future, reviews both critical and fan (anecdotal) back that up: Ebert, Roeper, ChicagoTribune, RollingStone, NBC, WallStreetJournal, Ap, New Yorker, CNN, USA Today, NPR, LA Times, TheSun, etc.

Look at
Gina in a wetsuit, then compare her to Kate in her Latex suit. Now you tell me what movie is doing better? And I’m no critic and a Gina fan.

We know who she is but does anyone else really care?
It’ll do about the same as Colombiana…probably a little less.
The trailers for this movie were terrible and forgettable.
They made this movie look so generic in the marketing that it probably made people wonder why it wasn’t direct-to-video. The worst part is that they didn’t show much of lead character’s speaking parts, and it came off like they were trying real hard to hide her lack of acting experience.
roundabout conclusion to criticise
do you think the role called for any more lead character speech than what was shown?! You didnt think that of Jason Bourne or Gosling in Drive did you?

Typical action movie
They are a dime a dozen regardless
Sig bets with umabig:
Condit beats Diaz on Feb. 4, 2 weeks
Akiyama beats Shields on Feb. 26, 2 week
If Rock can do the Tooth Fairy movie then Gina will be fine

lol
I’m just saying… At one point the Rock had a damn cult-like following when he first transition from wrestling. And a lot of those fans never left his side even when he’d do those crappy ass Disney type movies. That’s why he can get away with stuff like that.

Steven Soderbergh is an overrated director plus besides, even right now with the popularity of MMA on the rise
it’ll still be difficulty to make an MMA fighter into a mainstream Hollywood movie star and make a successful movie out of it.
its a January release & an eccentric movie
MMA audience is nothing compared to the movie’s release month and the type of movie it is (ex. Drive)
her reviews plus the aformentioned = her future and this movie’s #s aren’t mutually exclusive

no shit. Was totally expecting something due the R rating
and they seemed like theyd be getting close, but nothing. Is nipple so much to ask for? Not even a side boob, cleavage or ass shot. Nothing. This dude though her fighting skills were her biggest asset?

Carano, as an actor, is getting great reviews
She is the 5th or 6th most well known person in the film and will definitely be given another chance. Worst case scenario, she becomes like JCVD and starts making straight to DVD movies, and she still will make more money than she would have as a fighter.
Don’t feel bad for Gina.

Exactly my friend you do know about movies
Box Office success does not mean a it’s a good movie, both of the movies that toped Haywire had terrible reviews. If that were the case Twilight and Transformers would be great, but they are garbage.
This guy would disagree

Carano will be fine, was still the highest reviewed of the three
It’s a shame people are more into cheesy mindless action movies. Haven’t watched Haywire but I see that it has good reviews (81%). By the way Warrior got nominated for the Oscar for Nick Nolte’s performance, I believe it’s the first MMA movie to make the oscars, hope for more to come.
Gina did a pretty decent job. But the movie overrall, especially for someone that made a cool flick like Oceans Eleven, was VERY dull. The music IMO was the worst part.

All i know is im in the minority when it comes to movies.
I don’t go see movies solely because they have a hot chick, because 9 times outta 10 the movie sucks. They tend to rely on the woman’s looks, more than ability or overall plot. Waste of money. Call me old school if you want but its the truth.
You mind your own damn business.

Nah I'm with ya there.
Haven’t been to the movies since “The Prestige” came out. Way too expensive for mostly shitty movies. I probably should have went to see “Black Swan” tho. Aronovsky is my favorite director at the moment, but because Hollywood has been failing I thought Aronovsky would fail too.
