More Americans have joined ISIS than went to go see American Ultra, and because of that,
Max Landis, writer of American Ultra, went on a fart sniffing, whiny Twitter rant about his movie only making $5M since it’s release four days ago.No rant yet about his hair.
…American Ultra was also beaten by the critically reviled Hitman Agent 47 and Sinister, despite being a better reviewed film than either..
— Max Landis (@Uptomyknees) August 22, 2015
Max Landis forgets to leave out the fact that American Ultra currently has a 46% on Rotten Tomatoes. Hitman Agent 47 has 8%. Sinister 2 has 13%. If you want to make a point, try to use things than have better reviews than an ultrasound on Facebook.
…which leads me to a bit of a conundrum: Why? American Ultra had good ads, big stars, a fun idea, and honestly, it’s a good movie…
— Max Landis (@Uptomyknees) August 22, 2015
“Good ads”: Hulu Plus has played the same shit for two weeks. Haha, did you know Jesse Eisenberg might piss his pants?! He totally might piss his pants?! Pass. “Big stars”: Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart. They’re boring even for white people. “A fun idea”: Bourne Identity but with weed. “A good movie”: 46% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s 4% from being a good movie. Keep aiming, high though.
…so I’m left with an odd thing here, which is that American Ultra lost to a sequel, a sequel reboot, a biopic, a sequel and a reboot.
— Max Landis (@Uptomyknees) August 22, 2015
The “biopic” of course being Straight Outta Compton, a movie that’s made $111M in 9 days and is receiving Oscar attention. But please tell me more about your movie with Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart.
…it seems the reviews didn’t even matter, the MOVIE didn’t matter. The argument that can/will be made is: big level original ideas don’t $

“Bourne Identity except with weed”
I feel like I learned a lesson, here, but have no idea what it is. I once joked “there’s only so many times people will go see Thor 2.”
— Max Landis (@Uptomyknees) August 22, 2015
I’m glad you learned your lesson. You know who else learned a lesson? The studio. Maybe your dad can help you make American Ultra 2, or you can but some good lenses for your iPhone to shoot your next one. Probably the next Fantastic Four.
