Re: Hollywood realizes massive market value decline of more than $500 billion in 2022: report
Not really. Budget was $145M I believe and reports are they promoted this thing with $100M. So, $245M or they’re about to break even. Theaters take about 50% of the total, so it’s got a ways to go. It should top it though. 70% female, soccer mom, trans affirming women audience!RiverguyVT wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2023 1:05 amSo the Barbie Movie broke even on opening. Not bad!

Re: Hollywood realizes massive market value decline of more than $500 billion in 2022: report
Yup. Been that way. Movie was $14M to make. Disney buried it……the company that made it bought it back or some such nuttery. Almost no advertising except word of mouth and the Streisand Effect and they’ve made good money. QAnon……LOL…..RiverguyVT wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2023 1:14 pm I had no idea the full court press was on by leftists. LOL.
I think Oppenheimer was $40M to make…..and with Nolan’s reputation as a filmmaker, should make good money. I watch the guys at Red Letter Media and they review Oppenheimer, but in the beginning they discussed the cost of making movies and they have a really interesting take. They’re cornballs, but they really know movies and filmmaking.

Disney has another flop on its hands……$150M Haunted Mansion only made $33M this weekend, so about $16.5M back to the bottom line. $150M doesn’t include promotion and marketing costs…..

Writers and actors going on strike in 2023 is just as smart as the coal strikes in the UK.

So far Indiana Jones and Mission Impossible were both good in packed theaters. The girls have seen Barbie a couple times so I have not managed to get Oppenheimer into the rotation. I want to see it, keep hearing great things.
Barbie is a hit, lots of positive reviews.

Re: Hollywood realizes massive market value decline of more than $500 billion in 2022: report
Add $50M to the cost of making this movie and it’s still almost a year our from release, so you know there’s a little more on top of this one for production costs.

‘The Marvels’ Director Blames ‘Virulent And Violent And Racist And Sexist And Homophobic’ Americans For Film’s Failures
by Bobby Burack November 17, 2023, 2:04 pm
updated November 18, 2023, 7:33 pm
The latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), The Marvels, opened to a weekend box office of just $47 million, the lowest in franchise history.
Yet outlets like The Associated Press called the film a success anyway, by virtue of being the first MCU release directed by a black woman.
The director, Nia DaCosta, seems to agree.
This week, she blamed the lack of interest in the film and its subsequent criticism on the bigotry of Marvel fans.
“There are pockets that are really virulent and violent and racist — and sexist and homophobic and all those awful things,” she told Variety’s Angelique Jackson when asked about the film going “woke.”
“And I choose the side of the light. That’s the part of fandom I’m most attracted to.”
Virulent, violent, racist, sexist and homophobic, huh?
What a combination, one MSNBC is almost certainly to adopt shortly.
There’s a trend
Disney films no longer capture the pulse of moviegoers. Before The Marvels, the studio’s last eight films combined for more than $900 million in losses.
The films, most of which are designed for children, have recently included same-sex kissing and non-binary characters.
The viewers — including parents — have rebelled against the inclusion of such messaging. Obviously.
Yet instead of acknowledging the failures of espousing political values that run afoul of the customer base, Disney actors and directors have chosen to chastise their customers.
Or former customers, that is.
DaCosta echoed the same sentiment that Mark Ruffalo did last year when he attributed racism and sexism to the failures of “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,” a Disney+ series in which he co-lead.
It’s your fault Disney is failing, says Ruffalo.
The lack of interest in The Marvels is quite self-explanatory.
First, Disney promoted the film by celebrating that it chose a black female director and three female leads — a white woman, a black woman, and a Pakistani woman.
Those are not exactly causes for most Americans to buy a movie ticket. Moviegoers don’t care about the skin color of the director. Rather, they care about the synopsis of the film.
And the synopsis wasn’t all that interesting either:
“Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel, has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence. However, unintended consequences see her shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe. When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, her powers become entangled with two other superheroes to form the Marvels.”
No wonder the film set an all-time MCU low.
OutKick’s Ian Miller put the trajectory of the franchise into perspective his week:
“For more than a decade, Marvel was essentially untouchable. Their Cinematic Universe plan was flawlessly executed, with interlocking storylines weaving together recognizable, beloved characters. The Avengers series brought those storylines together to a generally satisfying conclusion.
“But after completing those projects, Marvels lost much of what made it successful. The laser focus on key characters was abandoned in favor of checking diversity, equity and inclusion boxes. Charismatic performers like Robert Downey Jr. were replaced with Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel. And while the first Captain Marvel film was a box office success, reviews for Larson’s performance were mixed, to say the least.
Despite the generally poor reception, Disney committed significantly more money to the sequel, while handing the reins over to an inexperienced director, Nia DaCosta. Giving $270 million to DaCosta, coming off a film festival success and a poorly rated horror film, was, as many predicted, a very bad idea.”
Then again, calling fans “virulent and violent and racist — and sexist and homophobic” probably is a better excuse.
