>10 million dollar budget
>16 million dollars spent advertising it at the Superbowl
>28 million dollar box office
Why are people calling it a flop? It made 2 million dollars.
 It's All Fucked Shirt $22.14 |
 Nothing Ever Happens Shirt $21.68 |

ooh ooh aah aah
was this good
No the lead was horribly miscast. Slumdog is too old and thin for the part.
Well he also directed it, the whole thing was just a vanity project because he wants to be Indian John Wick.
Patel would like to sell himself as an action hero and make this a new action franchise.
Old and thin people need to fight too. If they're not one-punch frail
that's a dumb thing to say. Keanu Reeve was older and thinner when he appeared in John Wick.
it's more that people didn't have a prior conception of him being an action star. no one cares about the physical plausibility of manlet Jason Statham beating people up.
Cinemas show it for free, huh?
I WANT A BANANA SO BAD
that's not even a real thing
>$26 million dollar budget overall
>$28 million dollar box office
>theaters take half the gross
It needed to make $52 million to brake even.
*break
Movies produced by Jordan Peele always fail.
In the case of the ape man I'm a little surprised why it doesn't look that bad and exceeding a budget of 10 million sounds easy. I guess they expected me to make at least 100 million.
2x is wrong, it's 2.5x. Taxes, profit participants etc.
Also, just a fun fact, the film originally cost 30 million to make, then Universal bought it from Netflix for 10 million because Jordan Bananapeele begged them to.
So how much money does the film need to make to be profitable?
10M production budget
30M marketing & distribution budget
40M in total
2.5x is 100M
They can probably scrape back some of that through all the ancillary rights like streaming and foreign TV.

Spy family won
They took an L to keep Peele happy. That's it. Same as when A24 let Aster do Beau Is Afraid.
Peele didn't make this
He was a producer on it. Which means he spent money on it or helped get it made.
Yes, occasionally producers give some creative input. But they didn't write anything. They didn't direct anything. Producers are just bankrolling or getting studios to look at stuff.
Im not buying they spent 3x the budget of this on marketing
The absolute bare minimum to release a film wide in the US is 30 million on marketing. Don't give a frick if the production budget is 500 million or 500 thousand.
So moronic that I respond to idiots like you who don't work in the industry even though I do, in fact, work in the industry (unlike morons like you).
proof of that being the bare minimum?
>“Typically, you cannot get out of bed for under $30 million in marketing and it’s probably going up from there. I felt with a strategically targeted campaign, you ought to be able to do it for $20 million. My concern was, the implications of skyrocketing marketing costs are dire for creative people. So I wanted to see if it was possible. It didn’t work on Logan [Lucky]. I got the opportunity to do it again on Unsane. It didn’t work again. The bottom line: $20 million is not enough for a wide-release film to generate the level of awareness that you have to have. It’s just not.”

fair enough. still seems excessive
TL;DR: people don't consider a film a "real film" unless they've seen ads of it on TV and TV advertising is expensive as frick.
that's the point moron
ad prices are set by competition with companies who sell burgers and soft drinks, NOT with other media companies.
>Taxes
Lmao how moronic are you
16 million was just the US television advertising (including the Super Bowl spot). Add in all the other ads (bus stops, newspapers, magazines, online sites, whatever) and the marketing budget was probably around 30 million which is the absolute minimum to open a film wide in the US.
Is that Arsenal and England national team's player Bukayo Saka?
Lel.
I remember the time some guy posted the monke edit of him after the euros and the cucks on twitter were reporting him to the cyber police.
>the movie unironically has a group of honourable troony monks who swoop in and save the day
Also, why are pajeets so obsessed with complex sleight of hand? There’s a pointless scene where somebody needs to give a stolen purse to somebody else, and rather than just giving it to them, they have this moronic sequence where it gets handed around the town as if everybody was employed to help out. I couldn’t get the “best robari” meme out of my head the whole time
complex sleight of hand is cool tbf
Yes very good tricks I enjoy very a lot
In real life? Maybe. In movies? Not really.
Amazing, amazing
>hasn't released in india
oh no no no
It's too political for India.
Because the movie theaters get half.
So, it only made 14 mil for the studio.
Ergo, a miserable fricking flop.
not a good title.
It hasn't made 2 billion at the box office it's made under 30 million lmao
Oh I misread million for billion. 2 million isn't a success.
Does he throw his poo?
Does he keep the mask on the entire movie or does he only wear it for like 5 seconds and then never put it back on?
>bollywood
nah
because we´re all sick and tired of indians and Black folk in our kinos.
i cant watch a single bollywood movie nowadays anymore because i want to physically hurt the actors through the screen.
their stupid mixing of english and bangladeshi or whatever c**t language they speak is INSULTING to my ears.
tht being said there are good bollywood flicks but from older days.
