Guy Ritchie films are original ideas. The general audience does not know most of these films are coming out, his fans keep an eye out for his movies. A lot movies have really basic marketing campaigns now.

I had no idea that these were out. The lack of marketing for these films is an obvious problem

It’s simple Guy Ritchie films at the moment are not being released world wide in theaters at the moment he explained it when the film won’t be in theaters anymore it will be released on prime video everywhere. Your welcome

That’s a marketing problem, not a Director problem. I really enjoyed all three of his films that flopped. All three would be just as good with slightly smaller budgets. Ritchie’s “The Gentlemen” series on Netflix was awesome and the best thing he’s done since Snatch.

It’s worth noting that these 3 films didn’t or haven’t yet secured theatrical releases across the globe. In the U.K. they were (and will be) sent straight to Amazon Prime Video as ‘Amazon Originals’. So, that’s going to hurt their box office potential for sure. If they did all secure theatrical releases, perhaps it’d be a different story?

Ikr? Like i dont get it. Why is Ministry deemed to be a flop here? The Movie isnt even out WORLDWIDE...yet. it only got a theatrical release in the US. Its not even out in Canada either. Of course it cant make as much money as movies who have been released worldwide...

Yet, The Gentlemen tv series has been a massive hit for him and Netflix. So he'll be coming back for season 2 for sure.

The Covenant is criminally underrated. People definitely should have went out and supported that film.

I can’t believe Guy Ritchie made The Covenant so close to those other movies, it’s such a vastly different movie in every sense. A truly emotional and powerful story, I wish more people saw it and wish it had a theatrical release. Worse movies have won Best picture Oscars and I think the Covenant was definitely worthy of a nomination.

Guy Ritchie still better than Zack Snyder

None of his films are released in the UK anymore. All go straight to streaming. A huge chunk of his audience is outside of the USA, and they don't get them on the big screen.

I and my husband just saw Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. We loved the movie and are planning to go back and see it again. I do think that it is a lot on marketing and distribution. First, Amazon has killed it's boxoffice $$ by not putting it in theaters in the UK and Canada where it would make a boatload of money. Secondly, we are older and the only way I heard about it was on an MSNBC interview with Guy Ritchie on Morning Joe. They need to advertise it as based on a true story of the Natzi vs. the Allies that rivals all the adventure and special effects of Indiana Jones, especially the Lost Crusade. It is fun and you need to attract younger audiences as well as us history buffs whose grandparents or parents lived through World War II. Of course the two movies that pre-viewed MUW, a sci-fi and a horror film that will probably make big bucks...Gag me.

Why has this film not been released in India? While not many people know Guy Ritchie here, Cavill has a fan following. And the trailer indicates the type of film that would attract the audience.

Keeping his films out of uk cinemas feels like either a cunning strategy or a stunning misstep

Let's not forget The Gentleman series as well.

All 3 have been excellent and my theater opening weekend was packed but advertising was terrible. Dis see a trailer until 2 weeks before

LOVED the Covenant. Guy is still good, I just think all movies are struggling to get audiences right now.

The Covenant really is an excellent film. I'd never heard of it before stumbling across it on Amazon and seeing it was a Jake Gylanhall film gave it a watch.

I love Guy Ritchie films. I just don’t think he has an audience like he used too or movie goers just aren’t interested anymore. He knows how to write characters and them unique and interesting

I really like Guy Richie s films but with ever changing landscape of the theatrical experience & streaming services he could be better served to direct films a smaller budget that debut on streaming services like Netflix & Prime but some blame has to be on the studios marketing team as well for sure.

I like most of Ritchie's films and his The Gentlemen Netflix show, but I think his films generally don't have mass appeal

All his movies are still very fun and enjoyable. Marketing and limited markets dont help.

I saw no ads for gentlemen. Saw Henry drop the trailer. Been waiting for it to come out. Thought it released months ago. Then thought it releases this summer. No idea it’s on screens now.

I watched Ministry on Tuesday. It was a good solid movie. Plenty of action, good acting etc. A fun movie to watch for sure. It was never going to be a massive blockbuster. I suspect the WW2 genre of it was not a big selling point for younger movie goers. Also ... it might be the closest thing to a Bond Film you might see Cavil in ... he plays the real life person that James Bond is believed to been inspired by.

This is on a slant both operation fortune and the covenant didn't have a theatrical release in Canada. Both went straight to prime
