Peter Berg's "Block Collection" in 2012 was sentenced to ruin from the beginning. The film was based on the popular game with Hasbro boards with the same name, with players trying to hit the coordinates of their opponent on their opponent on a hidden net. The game does not boast of any characters or plot over it, however, making the feature film adaptation look stupid with the design; Not so different from the idea of ​​making a movie "Kool-Aid", As seen in the satirical TV series "Studio".

And it turned out to be as catastrophic as it sounded. Battleship was a massive expensive affair, sporting a budget (with some reports) to $ 220 million. Despite this, it was very unpopular, a total of $ 65.2 million domestic and $ 313.5 million in total. (According to Hollywood standards, it's still a bomb.) Also considered very bad and at the moment it can definitely be a "spoiled" result of hundreds of critics of Rotten tomatoes. The premise of the film is thin, and its characters are not interesting. The film, also confusing, inserted a scientific element with the title of water vessel with aliens from space. It's a silly idea. Also, Taylor Kitsch did not impress anyone as a guidance and no one cared about signed roles for significant names such as Alexander Scarsgard, Liam Neeson and Rihanna. No one seems to have taken care of the game on the Hasbro board to turn the "combat ship" into the intersection.

"Battleship" was one of those projects that universal paintings were determined to claim persistently through, however, despite how wrong. In 2016, Yorkujorer He wrote an article about Adam Vogelsson, president of Universal at the time and gave a few details of his involvement in the "Battlefield". It seems that Vogelsson's time at Universal split with the notorious sale of Universal in Compast in 2011, an event that came with a series of mandates from his new higher windows. In a minute, it looked like "Battleship", already Greenlit, would take refuge in the mixture. Only after the strong pressure - and an unreasonable increase in the budget - the film was revived.

According to the Yorkujorker's profile, new UNIGHT master of Comcast immediately demanded that the studio begin to focus more on blockbusters and mega-Frenchizi. Of the six major study in 2011, Universal was in the last place at the box office. Maybe they wanted more successes like the "fast and furious" franchise, which recently released its fifth film. Other universal sequels such as "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" and "Step Up 3D" did not diminish. Mega-hit-hit-hit "Jura World" I would not go out by 2015.

Fogelson thought he had gold in his hands with Battleship, and he had already taken the $ 150 million budget film. That, he felt, would be a blockbuster to put universal on the map. The money began to be spent on building the movie "Battleship", and Vogelson seemed to get his desire.

There are no details on the issue, but it seems that Battleship has entered various "production problems" during its construction. After about $ 30 million was already spent, nothing was produced, Universal thought it was pulling the plugin. The studio would lose $ 30 million, but it seemed wise at that moment to reduce losses. Fogelson with his bosses argued that the film could really return the money, but only if he added more complex, expensive special effects. Universal (one can imagine reluctantly) agreed and increased the budget of the "combat ship". With the Yorkujorer's measure, the film ended with $ 209 million.

Battleship continued to lose $ 115 million for the studio. Perhaps the cancellation of the film would have been a better idea.

However, the director "Battleship" Peter Berg and Fogelson has become good friends in the debacle, as Berg has repeatedly defended the execution after that. The two will continue to make the "mile 22" thriller together. It is a small comfort prize for turkey as a "combat ship", but at least something positive came out of it.
