>To compete for eyeballs and Emmys, Amazon spent about $468 million filming the first eight-episode season. (While Amazon wouldn’t release the number, the New Zealand government shared documents with TIME that confirmed the studio’s expenditures.) By comparison, HBO’s Game of Thrones cost a reported $90 million in its final season, and the latest season of Netflix’s Stranger Things $270 million. Amazon has since invested hefty marketing costs, including a Super Bowl slot that cost an estimated $13 million, according to marketing experts. (It set a record for the most-watched Super Bowl trailer online within 24 hours.) With production of the second season beginning in October, Amazon will race past the $1 billion mark.

It's dead. Worse than Wheel of Time.
I love fantasy shows, but no way in hell would I ever watch ROP again. I can barely make it though watching it once without falling asleep.
>Worse than Wheel of Time.
That's a straight up lie you homosexual, Wheel of Time is utterly disdainful and has no excuse for the garbage it turned out to be. At least Rings of Power has the excuse of them not having rights to anything from the Silmarillion
the second age is barely even covered in the silmarillion.
They can only pull these cancerous 'adaptations' off when the authors are dead or completely non caring.
Tolkien sold out before dying. Everyone wants money. Can you blame them? That's why the world is fading.
don't be moronic it would be near impossible to make something worse than wheel of time, it is truly a masterpiece of dogshit
I wouldn’t say worse, but it is borderline that territory. Good luck retaining or gaining new audiences for season 2 & beyond. It is not even fun to laugh at it now. Just sad at this pathetic attempt.
>spending that much on a show that’s pure shit
>just to promote WOKEism
>just to promote WOKEism
It's promoting Blackrock's goals
Bezos wanted a GoT for Amazon prime, and tried to throw money at it. Hollywood quacks snatched up that money, took a five season contract, and spent like crazy, then crapped out a product. They of course are bad at writing, and don't care to properly adapt the source material, and also because it's a modern Hollywood work they had to force in politics and wokeness.
Amazon is heavily invested in this shit pile so they're doing everything they can marketing the hell out of it, shilling, buying and hiding reviews, and obfuscating numbers.
>25 million people supposedly watched the first episode
>That's people not independent views, so they could be assuming multiple people were watching the device
>1st episode was set to autoplay on Amazon frontpage, hmm wonder if they count that as a view
Gonna be interesting to see how the rest of this plays out
It’s not even the wokeism that does it for it. It’s just FRICKING BORING
He should be shot in the head.
wow so i watched about 600 million doolars worth before i dropped it
A few of the RoP team lurk in these parts; this I now. And this is I ask (you):
Is there any possible chance that, in the light of the backlash and the poor reception, the show takes a sharp turn; so as to appease people? or do you believe that the people in charge will simply double down?
Of course they'll double down. It's under Amazon's ESG guidance.
Thank God Blackrock is rapidly losing money
>Blackrock is rapidly losing money
source?
they made 5.9 billion last year and are projected to make 5.8 billion this year
Pure fricking money laundering trash. I didn't watch a single minute of that shit, nor will I. However, I have found the many youtube videos shitting all over it to be pretty entertaining, so there's that.
"i didn't watch it but i watched a bunch of rage bait youtube videos". lmao
>spent $1 billion
>reviews so bad they boost them by removing a ton of the shit reviews
>ratings are so bad they won't give straight answers nevertheless let the media see the data for themselves
>LET'S INVEST IN A SEASON 2!
The whole thing is a money-laundering scheme, isn't it?
not really, it's just a way to get goyim into the Amazon Prime ecosystem. a million people probably signed up for Amazon prime to watch the show, it doesn't matter if they thought it was the worst thing ever made because now they're thinking "hey may as well check out what else amazon video has!" and realizing "hey sweet I can use this membership to get free 2-day shipping!" and buying shit from amazon online, and then realizing their prime membership gets them a discount for Amazon's grocery delivery service as well and so on and so on
why does this homosexual ruin everything he fricking touches?
Is Bezos woke? Or did he just hire whoever he thought would make the most money and it turns out the whole industry was pozzed so he had no options?
Jeff has cracked the algorithm. This is going to be the best show of all time.
Communist subversives infiltrate everywhere and once they’re in, they have a time tested for process for bringing more in and spreading corruption.
where did all the money go stream piggy xisters?
I just read an article saying rop has more viewers than hotd. How is that possible when hotd has more and higher ratings? It was probably a paid article, wasn't it?
Its counting the mandatory autoplay.
Has anyone ever seen a show with such defensive shills on here? They're so obvious and so quick to anger. Are they personally invested in the show or something?
Not to mention these shills will go out of their way to shit on PJ’s LOTR and even Tolkien’s himself just to defend their shit show butchering of the lore. They clearly don’t respect the source material so I don’t know Why they even bother in the first place. The only thing they talk about is this constant galadriel-sauron shipping that felt like straight out of tumblr twilight fandom its disgusting.
>Amazon spent about $468 million filming the first eight-episode season.
and theyre using printed tshirts as armour lma
Wait you're telling me they didn't film multiple seasons at once?
It was 1 billion for ONE season?
The frick is wrong with these people.
That's literally money down the drain.
What show films multiple seasons at once?
Power Rangers
Interesting, I never knew that.
It's actually amazing that they managed to make a bad show. All that money, all that effort, all the expectations, and for what?
Something i love? A true piece of art in television form? You haven't even watched it. I know if you witnessed the majesty of the latest episode you wouldn't be saying such slander.
Probably everyone involved not giving too much of a shit since Bezos will just continue giving them blank checks no matter what.
Why do redditors think everything is money laundering? Is it mental illness?
The viewership vs production cost ratio is WAY off and they went back for seconds? It’s fishy to say the least
I stopped watching after episode 2 where it dropped off a cliff going by what anons and you tubers said
Last episode was the best one yet. Imo.
>the latest season of Netflix’s Stranger Things $270 million.
Pffffhahahaha that's dire.
>$58.5 million per episode
Geez, I still don’t feel bad about streaming it for free 🙂
what happened to DEM RANGS?
>EAT THE RICH!!!
But also
>don't critisize billionairer's product because it has Black folk in it and it would make you worse than Bezos, incel.
