It's a nostalgia reboot sequel with the original cast. None of those other movies had all elements.
Ghostbusters and Fall Guy are both boomer nostalgia and both failed.
Bad Boys is Gen X nostalgia.
Ghostbusters had some random zoomers and Paul Reddit. The Fall Guy was literally custom tailored to Cinemaphile who ignored it out of spite.
If Goose was concerned about the respect of 6chin he wouldn't have starred in Barbie.
>Ghostbusters and Fall Guy are both boomer nostalgia
in what way?
They are both based on 80s franchises.
Whereas Bad Boys originates from the 1990s.
how is an 80s franchise boomer nostalgia?
and what franchise is fall guy based on?
Boomers claim the 80s as their decade. The Fall Guy was a television series starring Lee Majors , the old guy in the credits scene.
>original cast
>Ghostbusters
Damn did they revive Harold and Rick just for the movie?
cast
>Damn did they revive Harold and Rick's wife just for the movie?
fixed it for you
Wasn't there already a new Bad Boys a few years ago?
yeah and it did shit at the theatres, this is literally the first comedy of the year
You woketards realize movies have to DOUBLE their production budget to make money right?
Movie just came out and it's expected to hit $190m domestic at the end of its run. Keep trying to downplay this, kek. It's beyond pathetic.
>We did it, we barely broke even! Hollywood is saved!
$400m box office run on a $100m budget is barely breaking even now? Are you moronic perchance?
>$400m box office run on a $100m budget is barely breaking even now?
On average, the total expenses it costs studios to make and distribute a film with a $100 mil production budget, or more, equals about 2.5 times the production budget. So when they report a production budget of $100 mil, the total cost to get that film into theaters hovers around $250 million. The additional costs are shit like marketing, distribution costs, overhead costs, participation payments, residuals, and interest payments. All that shit adds up.
On average, studios take in anywhere from 43% to 47% of worldwide box office earnings, so if they make $100 mil worldwide, they only get $43-$47 mil. They get more of the box office in the U.S., and less overseas due to foreign governments taking a share, and due to the different values of currency.
So your film with a $100 mil production budget probably cost a total of $250 mil to get out to theaters, which means it will need to earn $531 - $581 mil in worldwide box office sales to break even in its theatrical run.
Stop trying to explain math to him anon, he doesn't understand
nta but i thought box office earnings were gross revenue? that is to say, when a film says they made 100m, thats all pure profit after everyone else has had their cut?
if its not the case, then what the frick? most movies are flops, even the ones that "doubled" their budget at the box office and the ones that were flops before are even harder flops than i had thought. real?
you're confusing gross revenue and net revenue, because you're a moron.
>i thought box office earnings were gross revenue?
No, box office earnings are simply ticket sales, and studios share those ticket sales with theaters, distributors, and anyone else that has residual deals on the project. As I posted earlier, the studio share from worldwide box office sales tends to be from 43%-47%, with higher percentages in the U.S., and lower percentages in foreign markets.
>most movies are flops
Today? Yes. The majority of films do not break even from their theatrical run, but many of them will eventually break even, or profit in time, due to revenue generated from sales to streaming, TV, and physical media.
The studios are killing their industry by using a formula that consists of stupid high budgets + woke garbage that alienates and insults the white majority audience that created them.
>but many of them will eventually break even, or profit in time, due to revenue generated from sales to streaming, TV, and physical media.
that also hasn't happened in a long time
>On average, the total expenses it costs studios to make and distribute a film with a $100 mil production budget, or more, equals about 2.5 times the production budget.
that's not true moron. while the standard multiplier is 2.5, that is the break even point, taking into account theatre's take and advertising
>that's not true
While cost and earnings reports are sketchy at best, my calculations are based on the averages of 15 films with reported budgets of $100 mil or more. Averages being what they are, some films will cost more, some less, and the same can be said of earnings. I used financial data obtained from deadline.com, which listed costs and earnings.
>the total expenses it costs studios to make and distribute a film with a $100 mil production budget, or more, equals about 2.5 times the production budget
>they expect it to break even
Phenomenal
$190m DOMESTIC you fricking spastic. That's not taking into account the global box office. Holy shit what is up with the ESL hispanics and third-world browns on this board that can't read? Once its done in theaters, it will be one of the biggest movies of 2024, sitting right behind Kung Fu Panda. Cope and seethe.
kind of crazy that dunc 2 will only be dethroned by deadpool 3
You think China is going to watch a couple of old coons running around?
Who cares about China. There's an entire continent called AFRICA hello! There's actually more black people on this planet that white
They have to make 9-10x their budget if they are woke actually or 0.3x their budget if they aren't woke and I like them
I heard three times their budget, considering advertising
Movie came out less than a week ago and it's about to break even. I don't think they have anything to worry about.
Stfu and go buy tickets to your white sitcoms that nobody cares about.
>black people existing is woke
Yes
dass rite
It's actually 2.5 to cover marketing just to beak even and this if a bulk of their money comes from domestic. If a bulk of your money comes from international you get less money especially if it comes from China. Then you have to get 3 times or maybe more depending on where all the money is coming from.
>finally an half decent cop movie after so much time
Gee wee, I wonder if this genre had fans
White pepo love will smith and martin lawrence saying black stuff like DAMN and not some hack shit
Why did he murder all those innocent people?
>Why did he murder all those innocent people?
Who the frick were they?What were they doing there? Those mutherfrickers looked 30. They didn't have no ID. Those know it all thundercats. They smoked that shit, they were trying to get his daughter high. Can they fight? Reggie wanted to know if the homies can fight. They can't fight look at 'em. Reggie just got back from deployment and he wasn't goin' back. What's a matter with those homies? They ain't never seen a gun before? They disrespected Reggie in front of company so he let the gun go off, chitty chiity bang bang motherfricker. It was past 10:01 and Reggie was looked loaded and huntin' they asses down
>people will come out for black proj-ACK
This was nuBlack woke horseshit, no one wanted to see this trash.
LMAOOO
Btw does this mean we can start calling them Black folks again?
Virtually no one liked this movie. If this was a Harry Potter clone with raceswaped Harry it would of made more money with that concept alone. The only good thing was the title.
>Blaxploitation Harry Potter movie with voodo school and afros everywhere.
Honestly would be kino.
>Honestly would be movie.
This but unironically. Western type of magic is overexploited. Voodoo would bring a new angle
: Frozen Empire flopped
Holy shit that came out? Kek, didnt even realize.
They tried to carry the series over to Gen z with Paul Rudd and Stranger Things, and it came off like a stale bit of rubberised ectoplasm.
Good. They tried it with that feminist horseshit then turned around and tried to rush a real sequel, which tells me you knew and were capable of giving us what we wanted all along, you just wanted to push subversive trash instead so now you get what you fricking deserve.
these two hacks have more charisma than the other movies
This movie made a lot of money because it’s an actual fricking blockbuster — a dumb, fun flick with impressive visuals and set pieces actually worth going to a theater to see, with charismatic leads, no tentpole comic book garbage that requires an encyclopedic knowledge of 20 other movies to follow, and no obnoxious political messaging. It’s just a straight up fun time, something Hollywood forgot how to make.
Do black people go to more movies because their theaters are a more social experience and they can’t afford air conditioning?
i assumed Ghostbusters was about a plucky teen girl heroine and her lesbian ghost sidekick.
Female protagonist, into the trash it goes.
i expected Fall Guy to be about the fall guy getting shown up by Emily Blunt.
Female protagonist, into the trash it goes.
Bad Boys was great.
Apologize
Sorry about your Black persony
His wife talks about her other lovers on social media. No Hollywood career is worth such humiliation
Really sorry about everything related to your personal life, Will.
THE WILLNAISSANCE IS UPON US
Uncle Phil would be proud
>Ghostbusters making $201M against a $100M budget is "flopping"
>mfw jealous shitskins try to dump on white people
Tom and Big Willie need to make a kino together.
The israelites know this will print money even if it does so on streaming services. The box office days are over. Nobody wants to go to the movie theaters anymore. Other people ruin movies. Not being able to take a piss ruins movies. With intermissions dead and movies getting longer and longer I wonder why nobody wants to go sit in a dirty movie seat in the dark with other strangers!?
jpeg muzzle flash
>Are white people box office poison
That's why Barbie flopped and Deadpool x Wolverine will flop right?
Chuds doing a lot of coping itt
It's the type of movie black people want to see. Not preachy or gay, just a good time. Sort of like Top Gun Maverick was for White people.
This.
I hope black victim porn falls into the bottom of a volcano. Next to movies cast with purposefully ugly or non charismatic blacks because casting actually good looking and charismatic blacks is somehow problematic. It's a weird fetish the most so.i pozzed whites in power have. Casting only the ugliest and uncharismatic blacks. Look at that Romeo and Juliet play with Tom Holland. Like srlsly w.t.f??..Those kinds of woke casting directors need to be stoned to death.
Any slap jokes?
Actually, yes. In the big, final action scene, Fresh Prince starts having a panic attack and Blue Streak slaps him multiple times to snap him out of it.
For real? Good bit
Meanwhile the trailer looked so bad it was hilarious. That Lawrence guy especially looked like he needed a walking frame to make his way through his lines. Personally I think it's marketing bullshit to try and prop up a failing industry.
>50% of the audience was under 35, with 44% being Black, 26% Hispanic and Latino, 18% Caucasian, and 12% Asian American/other.
White people don't go to the movies no more, it's a place for BIPOC, that's why all the lame white people stuff bombs.
>The poorer you are, the more likely you'll go to the theatre
this proves people like cool black people, not ugly women like the mermaid, or lesbians in space like the acolyte
: Frozen Empire flopped
Awful sequel to good movie that makes 2016 Fembusters look good.
Web flopped
A bunch of hot chicks but you don't show them looking hot.
>>The Fall Guy flopped
Literally failure to market.
flopped
Ayy LMAO fatigue, she is just not believable as a mad Max replacement.
>>Bad Boys: Ride or Die exceeded expectations and is carrying the summer on its back
People love Bad Boys movies, we love Michael Bay when he's not doing CG garbage like Transformers or Ninja Turtles.
Bad Boys is tried and true. Dependable entertainment. Everything else looked profoundly mediocre.
>Are white people box office poison?
More like the white audience has become harder to please. The woke backlash has begun. Whites will only watch if it's guaranteed to be good. If there's even a hint of woke whites will reject it. Furiosa only had a female protagonist and it paid for it. Deadpool might be the last movie that does well with whites for a long time.
Thats kinda depressing i guess Will really did kill his appeal and goodwill with that Black person moment god dam and the whole being a happy cuck thing
100m is really good
Even I almost saw this movie and I’ve never watched any of this slop franchise
>Madame Web flopped
First week on Netflix alone=1.16 billion minutes, which equals 9.3 million times the movie was viewed (it was about 2 hours).
When all is said and done it will have barely flopped at all. And it would have been a surprise hit with a better, sexier trailer and more Dakota ass shots and Sydney boob shots. A shame!
that's just 9 million people watching it
which is like 40x more than people saw it in theaters lul
Not white people, gay people.
A lot of modern western media is just too gay for most of us who aren't white.
>zoomers will never know an internet that isn’t rife with the weaponized insecurity of nonwhite and non-American males
Like the core of your identity and you missed the best part, what a cursed generation.
56 year old here who first went online with Windows 98 and Usenet was the Golden Age of “social media”, we didn’t know how good we had it.
100m opening for a summer movie, even without this crazy inflation, is fricking pathetic.
Barbie and Oppenheimer did way better
Black people don’t know how to pirate movies
Ignoring White people is box office poison
If Black folk sell tickets why don’t they have any highest-grossing movies (OP WILL report this post)
I saw the OG film in theatres in 1995. It was a better time.
yes, whiteness is toxic and needs to end. More transBIPOC characters
Hepcats! I just Fricking got back from seeing this Fricking movie with a couple of my boys at a prime theatre location in the city! Let me just tell you senpai, we are so Fricking back now aren't we!?
Cats were cheering and hi-fiving each other and doing little shimmies in the aisles. This was an action film that had everyone mad up and about praising it! We Fricking loved this movie and we demand you'll MotherFrickers give us more of this! We wasn't bouts to let the Mediocrities out there make this Fricking movie fail!
Sometimes but not as much and not as often as black people
