How many millions went into making sure they got an emojii?
58 million is pretty good for a movie that no one wanted.
They spent a half billion on this piss!
300 plus million plus 200 million advert! Disney is Dead!
I don't believe that. How could you even spend that much money on one simple movie?
Because they're buttholes! Its not there money!
The original Expectation was 60-70 million so it is already falling short and wait til the second week. Will it massively drop? Also does china and EU tell it to go frick off?
Pretty much! Disney loses 100's of Millions!
Should do fine in the EU. Can't see Asia giving a shit
Well when I say "fine" I mean comparatively to the US
Like the producers didn't just pocket a lot of that money.
Yidsney is literally going to lose hundreds of millions of dollars on this. I fricking love it.
>what is Hollywood accounting and movie tax breaks
This.
Doesn't matter how much we b***h and complain about it. As long as ESG exists, Hollywood will continue producing objective garbage that'll bomb forever.
>Indy 5 is going to outright bomb
>Little Mermaid is an on-paper success that ultimately lost money
>No one is watching D+ originals anymore
as much as I love watching modern Disney fail, the Fandom Menace homosexuals are going to be even more insufferable than they already are
You're forgetting Elemental. But that's ok, so did everyone else.
>Little Mermaid
>On paper success
Did some math. Numbers are from The Numbers, some are a few days old (no screens still playing in the target market), and range from 6/26 to 6/29. https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Little-Mermaid-The-(2023)#tab=box-office
Domestic box office gross is $277398328. Assuming Disney gets 60% (probably generous, 55% is likely closer), that's $166438997. International box office excluding China is $225314649, so if Disney's share is about 45% (again, likely generous) means they get $101391592. China only contributed $3744349, and Disney will be lucky to see 25% of that (because China), so that's $936087. $166438997 + $101391592 + $936087 = $268766676. About $270 million. Production budget of TLM (i.e. the amount of money Disney will admit to spending, could be higher be as much as 20%) is $250 million. Marketing budget is estimated at about $140 million to $150 million.
They're still in the hole to the tune of nine figures on TLM. Mathematically impossible now to earn a profit in theatres. Rentals and merch might take a bit of a bite out of that, but given that Top Gun Maverick only brought in about $50 million in rentals (with three times the box office) and Disney's merch immediately goes on clearance these days, I wouldn't bet on it. The next Disney earning call is going to be fun listening.
millions of dollars goes to the people who work for the company posting here to get people to have positive opinions about the film
Oh shit I guess it's time to start making good original movies again rather than beating the same dead horse and wringing every last drop out of the same 10 franchises endlessly
The question is do they still have the cash and the talent to make it happen.
the infrastructure (writers, directors, producers) capable of making non-woke, entertaining films is gone, and even if it wasn’t the israelites can’t just admit defeat. their hubris will force them to literally destroy hollywood and at this point that’s all i want anyway.
I think theres a difference between beating the horse while still attempting to give it a good ending and the shit Disney keeps pulling where they beat the horse into pulp, shit on whats left then call the coyotes and vultures bigots for not eating it.
Crystal Skull wasn't anywhere near perfect but it gave Indy a good open ended curtain call where he finally got marries and got a son.
Before the outrage from the leaked ending the plan was to kill his son, divorce him from his wife, then ultimately erase and replace him with a despicable woman.
Instead they just toned it down to him trying to reconcile with his wife and being suicidal over their dead son while the despicable woman ultimately takes over to become a better indy.
It's almost a beat for beat repeat of the star wars sequels
>make the previous heroes failures
>Rey get the Millennium Falcon and Chewbacca
>then she gets porgs and BB8
>then she gets R2 and C3po and another little robot
>then she single handily destroys the sith and takes the Skywalker name while dumping what was left of Luke and Leia back on a sandpit on the planet all Skywalker's hated.
LMAO so it's actually LOWER than the initially estimated $65M? This thing's gonna fricking bomb, just like The Flash.
It’s gonna be an even bigger bomb. Dilator of Disaster legitimately needs like 900m to even break even and it’s gonna do sub 60m on opening weekend. this is literally going to cost mousecucks hundreds of millions of dollars.
I've heard $750 millies to break even on the low end. It's not going to get anywhere near that if the summer of bombs trend continues. If this has a second week drop similar to The Flash then they'll be lucky to break $400 mil by the time it leaves theatres.
This cost about 80mil more than Flash. This is a contender for biggest flop of all time. Not just the year
Making cheap movies is increasingly impossible these days
>Inflation
>SAG demands huge salaries for even minor involvement
>Celebrities demand huge quantities to remain attached to project
>cost of CG is still high despite outsourcing it all to India/China
But what really gets them is Disney reshoots almost every movie several times over, and the cost of reshoots are what really kills the budget because logistically it's the most expensive thing you can do.
As for why reshoots are so common these days, it's because projects are rushed forward by studios to generate media hype/stockholder trust. So they basically have to do the "end phase" long after a movie has already been shot.
>there are people ON THIS BOARD who don't realize that the movie industry is just a front for money laundering
There's a lot of stupid people on this board. I'm almost starting to think that they're willfully ignorant
They also don’t realize that international banks and globalist trillionaires have infinite money. Studios may collapse and consolidate, but the demoralization propaganda will never stop flowing.
imagine they end up having to go back to mid budget comedies caus their slopaganda doesn't work anymore
>not ever 60 mill
OH NO NO NO, NOT LIKE THIS FLEABAGXIRS!!!
Honestly though, this is why women can't be involved in writing, directing or producing action movies. Of course some alcoholic millenial b***h is going to INSIST they shove in her favourite feminist actress from her favourite feminist show. moronic.
