Bangkok Dangerous



Release Date: 5 September 2008

Budget: $45,000,000

Plot: A hitman (Cage) in Bangkok to pull off a series of jobs falls for a local woman and bonds with his errand boy.

Cage's 'Bangkok' tops worst movie weekend since 2001
Hollywood is stumbling into fall.

After a record $4.2 billion in movie ticket sales this summer, the industry suffered its worst weekend in seven years, with the top movie at the box office doing less than $8 million.

The auspicious honor goes to the Nicolas Cage assassin flick Bangkok Dangerous, which managed to take the No. 1 spot with just $7.8 million, according to studio estimates from box office tracking firm Nielsen EDI.

Despite the weak debut, it was enough to knock the Hollywood spoof Tropic Thunder from the top spot after three weeks at No. 1. Thunder has done $96.8 million and should reach blockbuster status next weekend.

The House Bunny was third with $5.9 million while The Dark Knight remained in the top 5 two months after its release, taking fourth place with $5.7 million. The Batman sequel has racked up $512 million.

The espionage thriller Traitor was fifth with $4.7 million, lifting its overall sales to $17.7 million.

The weekend after Labor Day is traditionally one of Hollywood's slowest, thanks to kids returning to school and the start of the college and pro football seasons.

But a particularly weak slate of films left ticket sales for the top 10 movies at just $47.6 million, the lowest since Sept. 21-23, 2001.

Ticket sales were down 23% from the same weekend last year.

Final figures are due Monday.

OMG Nic Cage with another ugly wig¬!!

I don't think that's a wig, I think it's his real hair and they dye it black. The 2nd picture, who's that cute looking guy... sort of look like Utt...

that's chakrit yamnarm...another famous thai actor...

chakrit looks hot in the picture. i want to watch chakrit this one.

I'm so looking forward to this... Not a big fan of Nicholas Cage but i'll definitely watch it because of Chakrit... he's such a great actor... and he looks hella good in those picture... I really want to see him speak english... he's so sexy when he does... ok, i'm a dork... hahaha... can't wait.

hmmm i wonder if Chakrit is gonna be speaking english?

woah.. i want to see this because the errand boy looks sooo sexayy!!

It's coming soon in Thailand.

i think it's better than old version.

I heard that in this one he will be speaking broken english. i know he speaks fluent english but in this one he plays a thai boy who don't know much about the west. i wanna see this too...for chakrit, one of his fans too! i like nic but i like chakrit more.

pretty impressive for a remake.

i LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the original one,
so going in i was bias and all.

but this one is okay.
for an american remake, it isnt that bad.

i miss thailand sooo much seeing all the places again,
and hearing all the thai again.

i like this movie.
and i LOVE the original too.

watch it ya'll.

EDIT: CHAKRIT IS REALLY HANDSOME IN THIS ONE. I LOVE THIS GUY!!!

I saw the original ages ago, and I have to say I'm pretty wary of this one- I mean, Nicholas Cage, really?

whose that female lead? she look familiar

CHAKRIT!
I only went to watch it for him! He was so GOOD!!

It was good. The ending was sad, but resonable.
The action was awesome.

Chakrit was awesome!

i heard about how bad this movie did but i still want to watch it. i saw the previews a few months ago when i went to go watch the forbidden kingdom and i was so excited when i found out Chakrit was going to be in it so i have to watch it. i love watching chakrit act he's really good. i do hate the fact that he has to speak broken english when he's capable of speaking english fluently but hey that's his character.

clauric off topic but *points to icon* that's such a hot picture of ken

Ah maan, I thought this would be good....... but it's getting horrible reviews LOL~~

I watched it to support the HOTTIE CHAKRIT and
it was okay. Not that bad nor that good. Chakrit
was a blast to watch. him and his funny accent.
(which is totally fake cause he speaks fluent english!) LOL
he's soo hot! I really like Nicholas in this movie though..
his character is sooo "SAD"... this movie actually
made me cry at the end.... sorry to spoil it for everyone
but it has sucha a suckie and sad ending....=[

I heard this movie was craptacular

Not intrested

i went to watch it yesterday. it was pretty good for a remake. nicolas cage really did a great job and so is chakrit. Charlie young look so beautiful in this movies dressed as a thai dancer. i was expecting more though.
