Black listed on wiki because of who made the film

Bruce Willis has about 20 straight direct to dvd movies that all have wiki pages . Movies that aren’t even out yet have them. But this movie is clearly being black listed from having one because of who made it. Pretty sad that wiki has this big of a bias . 50.33.34.51 (talk) 23:19, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

They don't always all have wiki pages, and if they aren't even out yet they often should not have wiki pages if editors are being strict about

WP:GNG. -- 109.77.202.114 (talk) 06:00, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply

I have plenty of criticisms of Wikipedia (how some people have created rules like

WP:NOTAFORUM and that has little to do with improving this article and getting this page out of draft and into mainspace. -- 109.79.70.46 (talk) 11:36, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply

Accept this

If this doesn't get approved the only reasonable assumption is that it is due to bias. The film is obviously important enough as it is much much bigger than Daily wire's first two movies which both already have their own page. "Not clear how big of a film this is given that the critics listed are from non-notable blogs" - bs explanation, who determines what a "notable blog" is? I would say a blog with 2.2 million monthly views (boundingintocomics.com) and another with 250k is very notable... am I the only one that thinks so? This film deserves its own page, this is madness.

Rather curious that Bruce Willis' A Day to Die has no box-office information, no reception page and the three Rotten Tomatoes' reviews - which aren't included on the page, mind you - are from Common Sense Media, Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews and Blu-ray.com -- fascinating, dare I say ... --Bartallen2 (talk) 10:10, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It’s blatant hypocrisy on display. GroovySandwich^Yum. 08:32, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG). I expect it will be moved out of draft space in due course but it does need work. Again assume good faith, better to try and improve the article and do what needs to be done to get it sorted. -- 109.77.202.114 (talk) 06:00, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply

The editors should clean out the references to

WP:RSP reasons. I know it's rather challenging since The Daily Wire is one of the producers. That's the current bottleneck. If there are more mainstream film reviews, then that might help out as well. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 23:52, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply

As for the Bruce Willis film, see

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. It doesn't help this article. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 23:53, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply

The heavy reliance on

WP:PRIMARY is a problem and on an even simpler level it also makes for awful repetitive prose, with "The Daily Wire" sometimes repeated twice in the same sentence. The Daily Wire is not a reliable source of news, but surely it is reliable source about itself? I would see that as a reason to tag the article with the template {{Primary sources}} rather than as a block to it being accepted as a Stub/Start class article. -- 109.79.70.46 (talk) 11:36, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply

Compare with What Is a Woman?, which only has 1 or 2 references to articles from The Daily Wire, and a lot more external news sources. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 03:10, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are only 2 Dailywire.com references remaining. The last two could probably go with not too much more work (rewrite the lead section, lose a quote in the cast section. etc). -- 109.79.73.200 (talk) 20:37, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed all the Daily Wire references I think can be removed. The two remaining references are needed to support a quote, and information about filming locations. -- 109.79.73.26 (talk) 14:18, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Plans to resurrect draft

I started putting a draft together on this film yesterday, before coming across this version. Plan on putting together a basic page so that this can be submitted, it seems to be quite a notable film. Streamingsteve (talk) 13:34, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Resubmitted the draft for review. Removed lots of poorly referenced content and the constant mentions of the producer. Hopefully that is enough. Streamingsteve (talk) 15:16, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is not at all clear why you chose to delete large sections of this article[1]. quite a notable film This is a minor film that was released directly to a streaming service, but there are plenty of direct to home media moves that have Wikipedia entries and I think it does more than meets the

WP:GNG requirements and is overdue for an article. (It was in the news again recently, people trolling Gina Carano[2]). Cutting the article back to bare bones is counter productive, most of the concerns raised had been fixed and only a few more minor changes should have been necessary to get this article in mainspace if someone was willing to put in the effort. -- 109.79.73.26 (talk) 14:03, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply

In the news - Gross

Gina Carona was in the news,[3] it was tangentially related to this film, as people on Twitter were mocking her and this film. Deseret News: Did Gina Carano ‘fumble the bag’ with Disney? She says no. According to The-Numbers.com the film grossed €804 domestically[4] it was released for one day, August 10th, 2022 (Limited), in one theatre. (The-Numbers.com does not list any international gross. Box Office Mojo does not list any domestic gross figure, but it does list an international gross of ~$13,115.[5])

To quote what

Variety magazine said in 2007 about another low grossing film[6]

:

"Like many on the dishonor roll of 60-plus titles cuming less than $1,000 over the past two decades, its stint in a single theater had more to do with contracts or four-wall rentals than mass audience desertion."

Perhaps this should be explained in the article, or maybe not. This film didn't get a real theatrical release, it is a non-event and there is little to explain other than contractual obligations. -- 109.79.174.17 (talk) 18:18, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
