Jon Favreaudirects an all - adept cast of actors in the 2011 cinema Cowboys & Aliens including , Daniel Craig , Harrison Ford , Olivia Wilde , Sam Rockwell , Paul Dano , and many others . It had everything to be a summertime smash hit enfranchisement , but that did n’t happen . At the toll of $ 160 million , the movie only gross $ 175 million worldwide , thus misplace money for the studio apartment . You know what that stand for — no sequel .
Ten years after the release ofCowboys & Aliens , Scott Mitchell , Divine of the comedian of the same name , spoke toYahoo Entertainment to discuss what he thinks killed the film ’s winner . “ It ’s interesting : when it debuted at San Diego Comic - Con , the review fromVarietyandThe Hollywood Reporterwere very positive , ” he say . “ But the clause that came out after talk about the corner spot , and because it did n’t do better at the box office , the review were different , which I do n’t imagine is very fair . ”
According to Rosenberg , Universal ’s unremitting micromanaging killed the film ’s potential . “ Universal announce the press release escort for the picture without go over it with DreamWorks , ” he recall . “ Had everything been affable , it would have been chance to the following summer [ of 2012 ] because that way we could have gotten a lot of selling going . It was just 11 months without a Christmas in between to do anything . They just were n’t knead together on thing , and people were point hand in different directions . It had its effect . ”

There is a Inner Light at the end of the tunnel , though . Rosenberg once again has theCowboys & Aliensmovie right and has full-grown plans for the account ’s futurity . “ We ’ve been utter to investors about a new picture , ” he reveals . “ It ca n’t be found on any of the stuff that came before , so we have to go back to the source material or make new author material . ”
I knowCowboys & Alienswas panned by critics or audiences ( according to Rotten Tomatoes ) , but I loved the western / sci - fi jazz band . Any fans of the film out there ? What did you think of it ?
