I can't. This movie is doing gangbusters and I'm just a seething and coping chud.
500 million is the break even though
It needs more than that. With a 54.6% domestic gross and 45.4% international gross it needs at least 700m to make 356m dollars for Disney, so if we assume they only spent 100m on advertising they will just barely turn a profit at 700.
it is happening again
>All of these recent leftist attempts to meme
You do know that we're fricking laughing at you, don't you?
Evil cannot create, and you're no exception. Deal with it.
You are not laughing. You are crying.
They have no talent, that’s why they only attempt remakes of existing properties that consistently flop.
You should have paid more attention in school then you would understand how math works.
A movie needs to make 2.5 times the budget just to break even. That is because they also spend money on marketing and only get 50% of the box office.
Sure it does, chud. Say "adjust for inflation" next, your cope needs more cope phrases.

Plus they finance movie projects with money borrowed from companies like Blackrock and Venture Capital, and that comes with interests and returns that investors are expecting.
That raises the break-even point.
>500 million
Still hasn't even reached that
We already talked about this: you can post this meme a thousand more times if you want it still needs 2 to 3 times it's production budget to break even.
Applied to this movie this meens 500M to 750M just to get back the money it spent.
1.5 Billy would have been easily expected since Beauty and the Beast, which is a comparable film, did 1.25B back in 2017.
Making a third of that and even losing money just means complete failure.
>it still needs 2 to 3 times it's production budget to break even.
that makes no sense whatsoever. "breaking even" means making back the same amount of money that you spent.
The money reported in box office is not the money the producers receive, it's the money GENERATED by the movie. Theaters take a cut and so forth.
Moreover, the BUDGET for the movie EXCLUDES non-production costs like ads and other marketing, which is typically 100-150% of the production budget.
>doubles return on investment
It still hasn’t even broke even
Why do you homosexuals constantly post about movies either flopping or not, or how much money it makes?
It's not your money. You're not benefitting from the success of a film. Unless...we really do have paid shills here
it's da israelites anon
It's this board's version of console wars.
>Seething tendie brings his asshurt to Cinemaphile
because clearly if it does well enough then more shit like this will be green lit
Why do you feel compelled to defend a megacorp rather than simply ignoring the thread?

Hehe your little nervies have been struck
Internet tribal mentality, everyone is a schizo nowadays, it's ALWAYS, us vs them
Are you stupid? People want shit movies/movies they don't like to flop and good movies/movies they like to succeed to they get less shit movies and more good movies
Gee i wonder why people who don't like a shit movie want it to flop and people who do like it and want to see more of it want it to do well. Very strange to me.
Because shitflinging is fun. You either know this already and you're passive-aggressively shitflinging yourself right now like the usual npc sociopath, or you're really low IQ.
Pick one

This and spiderverse are more than just about money, it's propaganda. People who watch them are brainwashed smoothbrains
>BLACK PEOPLE ON SCREEN == PROPAGANDA
literally all in your head
This shit is flopping harder than I imagined. It's actually not gonna hit the $560m needed to break even
I think its box office run was done last week it doesn't appear to be in theaters around here anymore

https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/093015/how-exactly-do-movies-make-money.asp
Because, movie studios do not get 100% if the box office, and there are more costs than just the production budget. As you can see movie studios only get 60% of the domestic gross and 20-40% of the international gross. So with a 255m domestic gross and 212m international gross this movie has made Disney at most 237m. Since the movie had a production budget of 250m dollars, plus another 100-200m advertising budget, you can see pretty clearly it is a flop.
Already forgotten.
>nut free
We’ll see about that.
>Nut free
Wut? nobody wanted to bang the black one or what?
oh
just saw it's a cake. I relly thought it was a figurine
How can you have a cake with a shelf life long enough for 2-3 price reductions? that's fricking nasty, burgerbros

Still gross as shit though. Explains the teeth
I never see shit like this here in brazil. Guess what doll was 50% off??
>Nut free
Challenge accepted!
it's food you moron
Theaters take half the revenue
Let's wait to see how many of those tickets disney brought first.
Can someone please explain why there are daily threads dedicated to counting the gross revenue of blockbuster films? You homosexual realize that it's just a pissing contest, right? What's the point?
>inb4 disney shill
because my life is empty and there's no good memes anymore since zoomers and soillenials are creatively bankrupt
Corps trying to get the activists emotionally connected with the financial success of their film, just like people who cheer on for a sports team, you know the whole "make customers fanatics" part.
It's a psyop
Never forget what they took from you mind set they keep trying to cater to new people just so it can come back and smack them full force
It's a peek into the future. If a movie does badly you're less likeky to get a sequel
It's why we'll never get Alita 2, but will have our throats crammed with blue cats till Cameron drops
Why would anyone here care about the little frickin' mermaid or the potential for a sequel???
Because nobody wants black pinocchio, downs syndrome robin hood, or lady luke skywalker
autism and trolling
>downs syndrome robin hood
I would kill someone to get that movie made
Now that I think about it, they already did
was live action, though. not a remake
>Robin is about to the get captured
>his merry men show up and start making moron noises, yelling "we are all Robin Hood"
>the guards can't tard wrangle and they all escape to the forest
Kino.
>About to get captured
>moron strength overpowers all the guards
>Starts singing "U Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer
There is down syndrome Dom Quixote.
wtf lmao, this feels in very bad taste despite you can tell it having good intentions
nick mullens directorial debut
I 100% understand that, but half of you homosexuals act like a movie's box office determines the quality of the film itself.
>If the boxoffice does well, it is kino.
>If the boxoffice does horribly, it's a terrible film with zero redeeming qualities.
What the frick is this shit?
When we like a movie we want it to succeed so we get more movies like it. When we hate a movie we want it to fail.
I blame Disney for keeping Alita out of theaters and pushing that Captain Marvel shit show.
Because endless "muh opinion" discussion is worthless, you can't argue with box office performance
It's extremely fun to laugh at woke corporations losing money and going bankrupt, far more entertaining than the shitty films they release, too bad you're a troon freak who's existence depends on wokeness, or else you could laugh at it too.
>Tell me again how this movie is a flop
>How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World grossed $160.8 million in the United States and Canada, and $361 million in other territories, for a worldwide gross of $521.8 million, against a production budget of $129 million. Deadline Hollywood calculated the film's net profit as $130 million, accounting for production budgets, marketing, talent participations, and other costs
Remember when successful movies went north of $1 billion and really good ones blew past that mark in uder two weeks? Now it's "YOU LOSE POLTARDS THIS MOVIE MADE $400 MILLION HAHAHAHA IT'S A SUCCESS!
We're lowering the bars here. Let's not pretend that we're not.
>$390 million dollar budget
>$800 million to break even

Why do so many people get so mad when you criticize Disney now?
Come the frick on anon, they don't. They just want to see you get mad.
because these cucks cannot stand that people don't give a shit about blacks. They want representation and diversity to be in the forefront of everybody's mind, because they have white savior complex and a shitload of white guilt. They literally feel guilty for their existence.
And it just BURNS THEIR ASS that the rest of us do not give a shit.
Zoomers are a lost cause
Don't know. The knee-jerk reaction to any and all shitty stuff they produce is always to go on the attack against the people they should be convincing to spend money. So criticism and complaints are met with 'YOU'RE HITLER AND YOU'RE A BIGOT AND WE DON'T WANT YOU SEEING OUR STUFF ANYWAY" when they should be using constructive criticism as a tool for building a better project for next time.
Thats what happens when emotionally-frail people who believe the world should revolve around their feelings and are not used to being told "no" are in charge.
When a movie flops, it flops because white Americans, black Americans, hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Canadians, Mexicanc South Americans, Australians, Japanese, Koreans, Chinese, Indians. Southeast Asians, Brits, Swedes, Germans, French, Italians, Aricans, and everyone else hated it.
But the response is always to single out one demographic among all of that, then declare the fault to be bigotry. And that's total bullshit.
Baffles me how we got here, man.
what are you talking about, who are you talking to
>only made $4.4 mil last Saturday domestic
Lmfao. What a joke. This thing is already done making money, wrap it up. Time of death, now.
It's all shit. The industry's crashing thanks to the tag-team combination of high ticket prices paired with movies that alienate mass audiences in the name of "inclusion so everyone's included."
Remember that Transformers The Last Knight got the series rebooted for "flopping" by making less than a billion, and THIS is the improvement.
it was fathers day, jackass
Not even 500m 3 weeks in??? Are blacks finally dying?
I like how these numbers get smaller each shitpost
Goalposts on wheels, bro.
Boy, it sure was nice of the theater owners to give Disney 100% of the profits for this film. Usually they take a cut for the use of their venue.
The movie was supposed to make 1 billion.
Goalposts ae now at half-field. HALF that is now considered "successful" when three years ago half a billion was a clear flop.
mainstream cinema is copying TV ratings strategies
TV ratings would be higher if these networks didn't deliberately gut their channel content to promote paid streaming services.
Marketing budgets are enormous now, almost as much as production.
Also, inflation.
Read the post again.
Companies are taxes on profits. They bloat their on-paper costs to reduce the reported profits. and in some cases billion-dollar companies even get tax refunds in spite of massive profits. Did you know that in accounting they deduct money NOT PHYSICALLY SPENT AND LOSS like "depreciation of office equipment so that desk is worth less this year than last year so let's write down profits?" For real. They even depreciate intangible assets like copyrights against their earnings to write down recorded profit even though the copyright to fricking Superman or anything Disney owns did not devalue.
It's a fricking scam that makes Wall Street numbers to be so full of shit and unreliable for what's really being spent.
All you can go on is what they made while factoring in all you can.
Its Aladdin all over again.
No, Aladdin cracked 1 billion and grossed a lot outside of the US. TLM has been out 3 weeks and has not even cracked 500 million.
Aladdin crawled to 1b, launched May 24 and hit 1b July 19. TLM probably won't get half that amount but it's dumb to claim Aladdin was a box office monster, it just legged out
TLM will have made half that amount within the next three days if it continues at the current pace.
Sure, either way Aladdin legged to 1b after almost 2 months while the chud called it a FLOP! after 1 weekend
Abstract thinking is a complexity. Ariel has simple thinking because the writers have simple thinking. If they were creative, then they wouldn't be doing remakes.
>was only at #1 for 1 week
>worst performing Disney live action remake to date
>getting lapped by a movie with a black spiderman despite having a week head start
>so bland that 90% of the discussion about it concerns racism or box office performance
Unfortunately, the companies are going to begin to accept that the conservative leaders have successfully weaponized their followers to fight anything that even smells "progressive" or "woke"
Making Ariel black hit a couple chords for them, so they weren't going to watch. That's a massive audience gone. We're going to see less and less inclusion as these people, mostly "Christians", do their best to let companies know that they hate certain groups of people.
Thank God
I dont care how much money it makes , I am not going to watch it.
how come i read about [current movie] breaking some new "milestone" every single week? what are these milestones?
Made up bs to pump out shitty articles. AI will soon have their jobs if it hasn't already
morons still not understanding how movie financing works or that the studio only gets a cut of theatre earnings.
If it has a budget of $250 million then it needs to make at least £500 million to break even. However, marketing isn't factored into the budget of a movie and the general rule of thumb is companies equal the budget on marketing.
So this movie owes Disney $500 million and it needs to exceed that to make a profit.
What good is breaking even with the production budget if you're still in the hole for the marketing budget.
They can write it off, I think. As long as it cleans its nose, Blackrock will unironically pay you for having Black folk in a movie.
>shills it be a sure billion club member for months prior to release
>see-see it almost broke even chuds, suck on my troony penis. Y-you lost and I have a folder of ironic chink actress gifs to prove it
How pathetic.
>makes $250 milly
>breaks even
It hasn't broken even, even now.
Why are you blackards so ignorant to how the movie industry works? $250m is not "breaking even". You should stick to rap music and let the Whites handle the box office.
Because proper math is racist and homophobic
>this billion dollar corporation is making profit!
>count this as a win for the common man!
This movie is like 2 weeks old or some shit.
I already forgot about it.
We already finished talking about Gwen being trans and now we're on Flash flopping.
How much did Beauty and the Beast make? How much did Lion King make?
B and B made 1.26 billion and lion king made $1.6 billion. TLM is a joke.
Your life is a joke, chud.
Little girls don't give a frick about TLM either.
Its a cycle actually. Last week, chuds did the "its a israelite" thing again, now they're back to John Oliver. Next week they'll say its doreen, then they briefly embrace it, then we're back to israelite again.
Did we just forget that Disney buys up its own tickets just to uphold the illusion that they are doing fine?
Incels are getting truly desperate if they're pulling this cope already. This proves that the film is making lots of money, otherwise they wouldn't have to do this level of schizo damage control.
>he thinks it's getting to $1 billion
They'll be lucky if it hits $500mil at this rate. Little mermaid: FLOPPED. Antman: FLOPPED. Elemental: FLOPPED.
>after deleting over 3,000 negative reviews and leaving only the positive ones
Didn't happen.

At least they can break records unlike The Little Mermaid.

It’s funny how the media obsessively keeps us informed in real time on how these identity politic movies are doing. It’s clearly not just a movie but a litmus test for sociopolitical views, at least that’s how they’re presenting it.
No, you're just obsessed and you don't realize it. Watch old media, watch foreign media, you have a choice
>homosexual r*dditor doesn’t understand that you factor the production budget and marketing budget together and that theaters take roughly 50%
Just have a nice day Black person, you’re too stupid to keep going
If they understood economics they wouldn't be communists.
as an accountant who specializes in movies i can tell you it needs 7-8 times its production cost to break even
You're still making these threads? You lost, move on anon.
That's pretty bad. It should've made a billion by now if they actually put in the effort.
isn't this the same song and dance routine Disney tried to damage control captain marvel with a few years ago?
$250 milly
even
That's not how grosses work.
right wingers are gross
