>166.3M
Did it break even?
>100M budget
>65M marketing budget
>Made 338M overall
Yes
maybe it broke even. the studio doesnt get to keep 100% of box office.
eh maybe it made 20-50M?
still pretty much a failure.
I love seeing the new math that Cinemaphile always comes up with every time a movie they don't like does well.
That's pretty much how it works, cinemas take varying cuts of the box office sales depending where they are.
Assuming a standard formula, no. You need 3.5x to break even. They lost millions on it.
>You need 3.5x to break even.
Where does this come from?
From Cope Cavern
True x2.5 is the most realistic case of the scenario
During peace time it's x2 but since 50% of all earnings are forwarded to Israel right now you need x4 to break even
Lionsgate sold International licence for $65m.
Assume 50% domestic theatrical cut : $83m
Marketing cost normally is $100m, but let's be conservative and assume $50m only for domestic since they sold the international rights.
Production cost is $100m.
Hence profit = 65+83-50-100 = -2m.
I don't think they sold UK's distribution rights thou so most likely
(24:2)-2=10
>1st HG movie made $37M, 2nd one 55M, 3rd movie made 48M 4th one made $43M & new movie only made 24M
Freefall I say
everyone involved already paid themselves millions. the real losers, the ones who lost, are the taxpayers and fiat-holders. no one talks about this, but a huge source of inflation is hwood wasting hundreds of billions on shitty movies. with that money they buy up RE, driving up costs for everyone. of course, you could have profited from this too if you provided a service geared towards celebs.
Unlikely from just box office. But with those numbers, it should break even pretty quickly with home video if not already from brand deals
The fact that nobody even bothered to make threads about that movie around here tell me that's really bland and forgettable
The lens they use wide looks litty but it's too stupid to see some b***h dodge men try to kill her
It was a fine movie, not bad but exactly like you said, it's a bland movie
To be honest there was scenes that made people laugh when for example Lucy Gray's singing or the way she called herself a victor when she hasn't even do anything in that game was quite funny
Rachel's singing was hard to go through
eh it was fine
It's the best hunger games movie. All of the characters were more likeable and enjoyable than the original trilogy. The problem is it came out a decade after the hunger games was popular everyone into the series is in their late 20s or early 30s now.
all the high school kids and early 20s girls at work watched it and most said they all read the books around 14 or so so when the films came out
Guess they're some of the people that got into the series as the movies were coming out. If they're in their early 20s and highschool now then the book for a Ballad of Song birds and snacks would've came out while they were teens or younger.
Nah katniss is still more likeable than lucy whatever
nah lucy has charisma and charm, katniss was a wet blanket whos only redeeming quality was being brave, I mean thats intentional its the story but still katniss is not a likable person
>nah lucy has charisma and charm
We saw a different movie homie she was an annoying b***h
> katniss was a wet blanket whos only redeeming quality was being brave
She was a good person and went through a death game what the frick you expect her to do being jolly happy? She was likeable and brave enough inspire others
in what way was she annoying? she was an entertainer and quickly realized how to play the game, something katniss never could get, that just makes her clever
>she was an entertainer
She was supposed to be but in reality whatever she started singing the whole audience laughed and find it ridiculous
I watched it with my kids at home, never heard her sing before I had no idea she could, only knew of her existence due to the whole snow white thing, no-one laughed at her singing I thought she had a really good voice idk why you'd laugh at it
>she was an entertainer and quickly realized how to play the game, something katniss never could get
Because katniss was a fighter not an entertainer moron. Katniss learned the hard way
obviously, that is why I am saying Lucy was much more likable its literally her job, Katniss' "job" was hunting for food, the discussion was about who was more likable, not the more capable, and in the games sis hammered into you over and over, being likeable and charismatic goes a long way
I know what you mean but to me Katniss was more likeable than lucy, she was too mysterious for me to care
yea because you aren't getting her POV only Snows, maybe I'm also biased since I had a girl kinda like her, she was a singer had a band, she would sing to me when we would just be hanging out doing nothing pretty much exactly like the lake scene, and I never uite got her either, and sometimes would get intensely jealous thinking she was hooking up with fans or band members, thats what ruined it. Not her fault she told me years later she never cheated on me ever its just her job to flirt and it did come naturally to her, I suspect suzanne collins had some bf like that because its way too accurate
>lucy has charisma and charm
She was lacking charisma
I say I found her charismatic you say you didn't, theirs no point in any further discussion since that is entirely subjective
Snow is the protagonist, not Lucy. Movie Katniss is boring and book Katniss turns into a whiny drug addict by the second book. As far as love interest go Lucy Gray is better than both Peetah or Gale.
Book lucy is good
Movie lucy is not
agreed, I recently read the booksand peeta comes off much better in them, in the movies by the end I was so fricking tired of him, literally just felt like
>when he's not in the room everyone should be asking wheres peeta?
Shilling on Cinemaphile wasn't part of the budget and most Cinemaphile shills still had Barbie bucks to spend.
Despite all the memes, I don't think anyone wanted to watch literal troony shit.
I think a lot of people would've watched it out of boredom otherwise as a stand-alone film for the sort of interesting concept. But shove a troony in there and you alienate the majority of your potential audience
This movie had a potential to surpass 200M domestically, the only reason why it didn't is because Rachel's controversial opinion on Snow White
>Controversial
How ‘bout just calling her a c**t?
how about a dumb zoomer kid who says dumb stuff
Mutt Rachel is the ugliest creature I’ve ever seen
the poster is literally more ridiculous than the poster for the PARODY MOVIE of the hunger games. no. fricking. shit. what did they expect? a completely actionless prequel in a setting that already only works if you don't think about it, but now with a bunch of Black folk and trannies and the reddit midget in it..... wow, definitely a movie i want to spend 80 dollars on at a theater. dumb fricking israelites.
>intl barely did more sales
maybe if the lil niglet liked her fans instead of bashing them for being white it would've received a better public opinion domestically.
I hope they'll release the 3.5 hour cut
It probably didnt break even though, they might have made a small loss on it.
I pirated the movie, it was okay. Not worth buying on any format.
Lionsgate hasn't updated the international numbers for 1.5 month so it might be close to 345M (overall BO)
That’s too bad honestly, it’s the best hunger games by a mile
Which isn’t saying much
Snow is so much prettier than her is not even funny
They were missing Finnick tier of the character
At least it broke even in 2023 and looks like even in 2024 it's quite rare
LG was a bit ungrateful if Snow hasn't cheated the system 100 times she would've died long time ago
sure but their is still the whole he's a narcissistic sociopath
>he's a narcissistic sociopath
Who saved her ungrateful backstabbing ass
and then tried to kill her as the "last loose end" something in the book said by the dwarf is when he sent her off on the train with some cash is
"I'm glad you survived him" not the games "him"
>and then tried to kill her as the "last loose end"
She knew a thing that incriminated him and acted realll fricking suspicious like was about to betray him, i dont think he was going to kill her
maybe maybe not, he sure let off a hundred rounds to say otherwise, she left a non-posinose snake to slow him down and used the birds to distract him, she ever did anything remotely lethal towards him, on the other hand he did towards her, because he's a narssasistic sociopath and couldn't handle the idea she would just run and leave him like that nce she realized he killed sejanus, in his mind the only possibility is that she is betraying him and going to try and kill him because...he's a narcissistic sociopath
>guy just admitted to killing his friend
>you are now the only other person who knows his secret and he's got the same gun
Snow showed his true colors and she didn't want to be another loose end. If Snow really wanted to run he would've never sent that message back to the Capitol
>and then tried to kill her
Well that doesn't change the fact that he was the only reason why she was even alive
but it does explain why she ran away, she didn't backstab him, she just left, thinking she did is sociopathic
>Basically had no promotion
>Had an anti promotion called Rachel Zegler
>Still broke even
Hunger games power
They should've made 2 movies after the games ended it became a whole different movie the final part ruined the movie
True 3rd part had a whole different vibe and felt too rushed
I thought the same, I re-watched just the 2nd part the other night and decided their is a good story their but it needed to be its own story
Jennifer is better actor than the whole TBOSAS cast
I've seen her butthole.
>actor
*Actress
nah
Hmm, I wouldnt know. I refuse to consume media that promotes mental illness and uses a trans icon to do that. this post will not bum your thread... ugh I know !
It got great legs and potentially break even theatrically, but it's not a runaway success. With Dunc, even though it's much less profitable than HGBOSS, at least WB knows (or believe) many people will see Part 2. On the other hand, there's still no book for the HG sequel, it's the least profitable entry in the franchise and Rachel zegler is a pain in the ass. There's no goodwill.
True but since 2023 was disaster from BO perspective it still makes it successful
>With Dunc, even though it's much less profitable than HGBOSS
Dune crossed 400m when the movie released same day on streaming, won 6 oscars
Rachel box office poison?
Lamina & Reaper Ash deserved better they were even better characters than Lucy Gray
reaper was exactly like he was in the book, idk what you mean by that
I meant they deserved to win HG
I kind of liked this flick to be tbh with you
certainly more than I liked the main franchise movies
it flopped it had to make 1.4 trillion dollars to make its money back, dont you losers know about marketing cost?!?
>another terrible "actress" that Cinemaphile simps over in another terrible movie that bombed
Happens all the time.
she won at the box office
>empty theater with one guy
Show us your breasts!!
Who even asked for this? The YA movie genre is dead and has been for years.
Why do Chuds hate her so much anyways? Because they can't engage with anything beyond politics?
I'm glad Hunger Games came out when it did. You just know if they made Catching Fire today they would've cut the Johanna stripping scene.
this is the first im even hearing of this movie, would have thought they would have done some shilling for it. movie studios must be suffering, ive seen zero ads for this movie not even on the israelitebook and you get ads for literally everything on there. anyone seen this advertised anywhere else? i just finished watching the lone gunmen, didnt even know that show existed til i saw a thread here yesterday about it. it was a great show. sus as frick how they had the pilot episode about a plane crashing into the WTC 6 MONTHS BEFORE 9/11!!! foreknowledge? prophetic? ~~*cohencidence*~~? what you think the connection is? now im just about to start this new hunger games movie, it better not suck
>highbottom
>its a dwarf his his bottom low to the ground
BRAVO!!!
