Alex Proyas, the director behind 1994’s “The Crow,” wasted no time celebrating the demise of the remake after a bad opening weekend….

Alex Proyas — best known as the director behind 1994’s “The Crow” — has been one of the most vocal opponents to the recently released remake starring Bill Skarsgard and FKA Twigs.

Now he’s taking a somewhat questionable victory lap after “The Crow” remake struggled mightily at the box office with a fifth place finish during its opening weekend and then falling completely out of the top 10 in the second week of release.

“I thought the remake was a cynical cash grab,” Proyas wrote on Facebook. “Not much cash to grab it seems.”

While his initial note referenced the opening weekend returns where “The Crow” remake directed by Rupert Sanders only took in $4.6 million, the second weekend didn’t fare any better with the film taking in just $1.8 million for an 11th place finish at the domestic box office.

Overall, “The Crow” has earned $8.1 million in North America with a worldwide box office total sitting at $9.5 million to date.

The much maligned remake, which Proyas blasted before it was ever released due to his close relationship to the original where actor Brandon Lee died during filming, reportedly had a production budget around $50 million before marketing and advertising costs.

Proyas also posted a second message on Facebook that said “marked safe from seeing Crow 2024 today.”

He’s also posted a number of negative reviews about the film but his criticism aside, “The Crow” obviously didn’t do well with critics or audiences considering the paltry numbers earned at the box office.
