Alternate Reality

 HATTRICK! 

Kitsch's first hit, John Carter

This week's headline in Hollywood is that the Oliver Stone-directed film Savages trumps one of the most anticipated film of the year The Amazing Spider-Man at the box office standings. Savages stars Taylor Kitsch and Aaron Johnson along with stellar supporting cast that includes John Travolta and Salma Hayek. This is actually the most shocking news this year because the Spider-Man reboot is predicted to haul as much as $150m in its first six day since July 3. The first three day for the Marc Webb-directed film were respectable with $75m in the bank. However, that changes drastically when audience flocked to another film on July 6. Savages earned $80m this weekend which puts the film on number four for best R-rated opening weekends behind Matrix Reloaded, Hangover II, and Jesus himself whereas the spider 'only' earned $50m. Analysts predict that Savages could end up with $240m domestically if it stays that way. Lucky Oliver, he got Kitsch to star in his film just in time.

Kitsch's 2nd hit of the year, Battleship

This is understandable as filmgoers has made a Taylor Kitsch film an event film since his success earlier this year. Taylor Kitsch has become an extremely sought-after actor after he successfully launched two potential franchises, John Carter and Battleship. The $300m-budgeted Disney film ended its run on June 29 with $410m domestically and $950m worldwide while the Peter Berg film is still in cinemas with its current standings $500m worldwide. Those numbers were an impressive feat for a first-time leading man. While the critics review for both blockbuster films were mixed, the audience seemed to ignore that and went to the cinemas.

in his (most likely) third hit, Savages

John Carter: Gods of Mars is immediately in pre-production with director Andrew Stanton is set to return and Universal is now busy prepping Battleship 2 and in negotiations to bring Michael Bay on board as director. Michael Bay himself is reported to have contacted Taylor Kitsch for his Transformers reboot slated for 2014. Kitsch himself is now attached to Catching Fire after Lionsgate specifically picked him for the role of Finnick Odair. He is also in talks to star in Warner Bros' & DC Comics ambitious film The Flash while also in talks to star in Marvel's Ant-Man directed by Edgar Wright (They seemed to forget that Kitsch is the mutant Gambit in X-Men Origins). Adding to his long list of negotiations: an untitled Dreamworks Animation project, Fast Six and Michael Fassbender's Assassins Creed are also vying for Kitsch. According to some resources, Disney is also planning to continue Prince of Persia franchise only if Kitsch agreed to replace Jake Gyllenhaal in the title role. We can expect Kitsch faces to appear in films for the next four years. He is taking the spotlight that once belonged to Jeremy Renner after his performance in The Hurt Locker. Oliver Stone's Savages is still in cinemas everywhere.

ALTERNATE REALITY IS ALTERNATE

JUST WONDERING WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO TAYLOR KITSCH IF

 JOHN CARTER & BATTLESHIP WERE SUCH HITS. SORRY.
no hates for both films. I enjoyed both films and I respect Kitsch's performance. 
He's just stuck in uninteresting characters.
