Female-centric 'Star Wars' series in works

Batwoman has been a disaster

At this juncture, it it presumed that the picture will crawl to around $225m worldwide (around 1.56x the $144m budget), which according to The Hollywood Reporter will be a loss of around $70m. Even if that number turns out to be a bit high (Sony would argue it is a lot less than that), the female-fronted reboot is not the leggy hit that I thought it would be. It breaks my heart to say this, but Ghostbusters is pretty much a bomb.

$70 million loss.....

Charlies Angels,MIB Intl,Xmen ,Birds of Prey nearly all movies with heavy SJW narrative bombed big time

I think Hollywood needs more female-centric films.

All of them have been a failure apart from Captain Marvel

If I want all female cast in a movie, I can go to po..nhub to fulfill my desires.

They have really destroyed the Starwars franchise by bringing this politically correct BS into every good movie.

What's PC about having a female lead?

Star Wars has multiple powerful female characters, who deserve their own shows.

Dude, just stop.

Ghostbusters remake was just a poorly written and directed movie, it wasn't because it had female leads.

I hope it fails like all other female lead movies. Why worshipping women all the time

It was everything and yes that included having an all female lead. A mixed cast of youngsters being mentored by the older ghostbusters would have gone down well, oh wait they’re doing that and it’s been received very well.

Yep it’s a failed formula.

See, I can't agree with that. Like you said, if the story was what you mentioned, it would have gone down better, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be all female leads.

A story is bad due to poor writing and characterization, not because of character's gender.

Why is that all movies that made gender empowerment their selling point were bad at the box office?

Wonder woman? captain marvel? Or if you wanna go old school, Ripley from Alien?

Bad movies go broke, not movies that happen to have female protagonists.

There are far more movies with male leads that end up being terrible. That doesn't mean we should not have movies about male main characters.

Female empowerment shouldn't be slapped on our faces. Make movies that has female action heroes say Wonderwomen or Lara Croft not trying to latch on to male-centric action movies.

Wonder woman

copy of captain america

captain marvel?

honestly, not that good

most of these movies get views just because they belong to a comic franchise, others, because they pander to a set of audience.

^^^this. exactly. thank you for saying this. every character is being changed to a female one, or "others". and of course introducing homosexuality in every single thing.

You are misinterpreting my post, and giving out false impression - this is not what my post meant. Identify where did I use the word "Female" in my post? You need to apologise for your error.

The thing is the all female lead is closely connected with the storyline. I object on the grounds that you can't take an established genre and then simply change it and present it as something groundbreaking. When fans become attached to characters everything goes with it. I mean would you remake the Rambo films and call it 'Rachel first blood' ? Similarly you wouldn't take Sigourney Weaver's legendary role as female heroine Ripley and reboot it with 'Ryan' as the lead.
The whole thing also is cringe worthy (more storyline related) and audiences don't want to or need to be patronised in accepting things just because the studios say so.
