Release: Halo








Halo
Action/Sci-Fi
Director: Gareth Edwards
Cast: Alexander Skarsgard, Clive Owen, Chadwick Boseman, Sarah Gadon


Budget: $180,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $195,035,065
Foreign Box Office: $333,880,519
Total Profit: $188,960,304

Reaction: Reaction: Honestly, despite the big numbers, the domestic box office results are a little disappointing. Thankfully we were able to keep the budget manageable thanks to Gareth Edwards' background in special effects. We will probably go ahead with production of a sequel - but only if Edwards agrees to return to the helm.





"If you've played the video game, you really want gain anything extra from watching Gareth Edwards' film version. I would have liked a little more deviation, or even some extra backstory to the huge universe that has been developed since the release of the first game in 2001." - Desmond Rodgers, TIME Magazine


"While the story brings nothing new to the picture, Gareth Edwards continues to show an ability to make pictures with a large scope. The exterior battle scenes look great, and are shot with a clear precision sorely lacking in the shaky-cam heavy action pictures these days." - Brian Edelstein, Time Out



"No surprises with this one. Skarsgard's Master Chief has to find something and fight something. Rinse. Repeat. The dialogue almost exclusively consists of exposition, turning this one into an exhausting viewing." - Clark Davis, JoBlo.com
