“I thought the remake was a cynical cash-grab. Not much cash to grab it seems.” Those are the words of director Alex Proyas writing on Facebook in response to the opening weekend box office for Lionsgate’s 2024 remake of The Crow.
Proyas directed the original 1994 cult classic, which starred Brandon Lee and became a hit even after the actor’s untimely passing on the set of the dark and gritty comic book adaptation. Whether or not Proyas’ jab was in poor taste is up for debate, but one thing is undoubtedly true: There was not much cash to grab.
