No. I knew it wouldn't do well despite loving the film. As the other anon said, the fact that it survived a buyout and covid is enough.
I AM glad that Loren disclosed the budget. The 60m figure that was pushed around with no real source never sounded realistic.
Putting it up against Top fricking Gun was suicide. John Wick was also going to release on that date but then Lionsgate sobered up and pushed it to March next year.
This. Compare the marketing this got to the marketing the Simpsons movie got.
No Bob's Burgers toys at McDonalds. No toys or merchandise AT ALL. No junk food tie-ins or contests to win a trip for a family of four to the premiere of the movie. No special desserts at Disney Land or Disney World. No pop-up restaurants. Nothing.
Yep. Loren said only 20m was spent on ads. This is actually very low. Even lower budget movies will spend a bit more on marketing if the studio has faith. Average for a comedy tends to be in the 50-60m range when looking at the sony leaks even when the production budget is lower.
That's actually cheaper than most animated films outside of Mikros CG films like Captain Underpants and Paw Patrol. Illumination, while relatively frugal, still spends 80-85m on their films. Disney and Pixar still make movies for 100-200m. Sony is about 50-80m. 38m for a movie that is animated as well as Bob is pretty good.
What do I care? I don’t work for them
nope, I enjoyed it.
It getting made and going to theaters was the triumph in and of itself.
Did better than Family Guy.
Family Guy will outlive Bob
If you can call it living. Even Macfarlane wants it dead.
「yes」
Yes, cause I liked it and it'll discourage more things I'd like from being made.

Yes, and no.
It would have been nice if it worked out, but anyone who didn't see this coming is moronic. Disney wanted it to fail.

Yeah. The entire budget worldwide was used on character posters, youtube ads, and a few billboards.
I don't think it even got a theater standee.
>flopped
More like flipped
No, I liked it enough but I kind of hope the subpar return makes them consider wrapping up the show before it gets outright bad
How the hell was 38 million? What's the matter with hollywood

That's still a lot of money. Why is Hollywood so inefficient?
