Kick-Ass 2 Plans To Go Balls To The Wall - Preview
The Kidd was a huge fan of “Kick-Ass.” It was smart, it was funny, and it was different. Add the three of those elements together, and you wind up with one seriously kick-ass movie... literally. The disappointment of “Kick-Ass” comes from the fact that a great deal of people chose not to see it. There are a few reasons that might possibly begin to explain its fairly weak opening weekend of $19.8 million and its haul of $42.2 million domestically. The R rating could do it. The fact that it’s a fairly violent movie. The superhero package might have turned some people off, particularly for a fairly violent R-rated flick. The name might have been an issue for others. There were some theatres around the country that wouldn’t even fully display the title, instead labeling it as “Kick-A**” on the marquee, something that clearly doesn’t sell tickets. Damn, I wouldn’t even know how to order those tickets at the box office. “Yeah, can I get two tickets for ‘Kick-A-Double Asterisks’ or is that ‘Kick-A-Two Stars’? Seriously, what’s the name of that movie...? Ah, fuck it... just give me two for “The Bounty Hunter.’ I may hate myself for this later, but at least I can say the title.” Posters were censored as well in various markets of the country. How many people were really getting excited after checking out the one sheet for the movie “Kick-A#s”? What the fuck does that even say?! Of course, then you look at the other end of the spectrum, where the dreadful “A Nightmare on Elm Street” rings the cash register to the tune of a $32.2 million opening, and it makes you wonder if the general public is opposed to seeing good quality motion pictures. Have they become conditioned to see only pure shit? Hmmm... that’s an interesting theory, and one that’ll get put to the test when “Kick-Ass 2” comes along. Yep, it’s coming, and it’s going to be balls to the wall. No, really... that’s the title - “Kick-Ass 2: Balls To The Wall.”
