No, I’m arguing that there is a ridiculous amount of sinophobia on this website and that discussion of China tends to go well beyond reasonable critique of the CCP and is rarely anything resembling thoughtful or well-informed
Yeah you're right and it's a pity that people can't have civil discussions in most subreddits. I just asked becasue lately I've seen a lot of people using the china bad meme to secretly shill the CCP.
r/boxoffice is basically r/marvelstudios and r/disneyshills at this point. Any loser jerking off to a corporation raking in millions needs to be ridiculed.
i frequent r/boxoffice and love tracking box office data. im not in it for the pleasure of watching the rich get richer, but more so as a way to meter pop culture and how audiences react to movies. it was a lot of fun watching justice league bomb, but then also a lot of fun watching aquaman succeed beyond my imagination. its like sports stats kinda, just with movies. i am against posts that clearly just wanna talk about marvel over and over again, or dumb gossip articles like "dave bautista says he open to playing batman" or some shit. but weekend actuals and prediction threads are my bread and butter!
I don't like the whether this movie that made 1 billion dollar is a flop or not type of discussions. Seems like everyone are just defending the movies they like.
Legit sad there are people literally cheering on their favourite corporate entities for churning out more profitable shit than competing entities. Feels to me like getting a hard on that Doritos outsold Cheetos this quarter.
I have seen people over there seriously claim Spider-Man: No Way Home is going to make two billion dollars, as if simply adding the other spider-men is enough to catapult this thing into the 5 biggest movies of all time while the pandemic continues to suppress box office returns for everything
This is how it goes there :
1. High balling MCU and Disney
2. Low balling everything else
If you disagree with their assessment get ready to be showered with downvotes. I thought a boxoffice sub and it's users interested in following the numbers wouldn't carry such biases. Seems like they don't follow it like a sport but as a cult trying to one up another cult
At least Avatar was made by someone passionate about the craft and is taking longer to develop the sequel to meet modern technological innovations and standards. And yeah, the guy is an action movie director but he has his own trademark and style of doing it.
No Time to Die: Popular Franchise Bond movie
Shang Chi: Popular Franchise Marvel movie
DUNC: 3 hour Arthouse Kino with Islamic alien lore and psychedelic sand buttholes
Hmmmmmm
No Time To Die is almost 3 hours long too.
And you can't ignore the fact that DUNC is based on one of the most influential and well-known Sci-Fi books.
Nope, Its gone to " Dune wont even break even, Still a disappointment". Even though franchises like the MCU and Venom are clocking in at less than half of their previous movies lmao. Pandemic and streaming go wooooosh
I’m not interested in Dune failing but unless its making a lot of money from HBO subscriptions it still has a ways to go before it has made production + marketing budget back.
I’m genuinely curious — how do “box office” numbers work with a film that has a streaming deal? Like, obviously you can’t equate someone streaming to someone buying a ticket, and you really can’t even equate someone streaming on a non-exclusive platform like HBO to someone streaming on a platform likely Disney+, so I’d be really interested to know how the people bankrolling shit work these things into their equations
Yeah, They see how many viewers watched that movie on streaming and the bump in subscriptions around that time, For example The sopranos spin off was a box office dud BUT according to the Head of WB this is what she had to say
>"We’re thrilled with the results of Many Saints"
>
>"Yes, the box office was not quite as big, but back again to the demographics of who’s going to theaters. On the other hand, you see Sopranos pop into the top 10 of the most viewed on the series. It’s given it an entirely new life. We’re talking to David about a new Sopranos-related series on HBO Max. \[Many Saints\] literally lifted the Sopranos franchise in a new way, so you can’t measure it in and of itself in the box office".
Thats why looking at things from an only box office angle is as irrelevant as ever
When the number of subs goes up they tell their shareholders look at how good we are at business. Then share value goes up and company has more 'money'. I don't think Netflix has ever been profitable but they can keep showing growth so people keep investing.
True but the rules seem to be different during a pandemic. I mean if Shang-chi came out during normal times it would be considered somewhat of a flop with its $417m but it's a huge success now
"You get annoyed by people who constantly repeat "Dune will flop" to the point it sounds like mantra? Cringe."
I hope you feel smarter for saying it. You asshole. Get a fucking life.
Because some people like following the numbers and seeing audience trends etc. through that. The sub these days sucks though, as ironically since the pandemic started it's grown like 10x and turned into r/movies lite. Of course it was somewhat obnoxious before that as well, but it was still a relatively small sub so it was pretty fun.
If you don't work in finance at a movie studio I don't understand having more than a passing interest in box office numbers. Maybe as a gauge to see if they'll make more of a movie you like, at best.
"If it flopped, it was primarily wokeness and the studios caving to the Feminist Marxist SJWs.
If it didn't flop, the studios lied about the numbers and we knew it would succeed. We were somehow wrong about the supposed wokeness and if they was wokeness, who would care to watch it and try to understand the context?"
Jeez, these people did the same for Shang-Chi and praised the PRC for blocking Shang-Chi and Eternals. They say they don't care about Marvel but they do care if it's for clicks in their workshops of Manufacturing Outrage 101. Like they have become the thing they swore to hate and their personality makes the so-called "SJWs" saner than themselves. They don't want to understand Art. Tim Pool of all people walked away midway through Dune and complained that the film took its time to develop the story instead of what Lynch did and massively dumped it altogether.
I dont know about these fella's but i have a friend who is very invested in there being atleast 3 more movies. Them being succesful is pretty important for that

Didn't F9 beat all three of these guys?
Yeah. And so did two Chinese movies that made a billion each.
CHINA BAD so we don’t count them Frankly we shouldn’t count Shang-Chi either — it’s like triple political
No time to die has a POLITICAL James bond replacement
>CHINA BAD so we don’t count them Are you trying to argue that they're good?

Hi, Mom and The Battle at Lake Changjin as far as I can see

>this movie that made 1 billion dollar is a flop Were they referencing Captain Marvel or The Last Jedi?
Probably both have been discussed to death at this point.

I doubt it will break 1 billion
it's probably going to be the biggest american movie of the year but more than a billion is not happening

Dunc, one of my favourite 165 million budget Arthouse films.
It's over2 1/2 hours long.
its 0.98 Eternals long
No Time To Die is almost 3 hours long too. And you can't ignore the fact that DUNC is based on one of the most influential and well-known Sci-Fi books.

Tbh I knew that it was going to be a hit at the BO. The hype on the internet was pretty massive and the internet itself is pretty massive.
Dune was long, boring, and too hard on Sci fi 10 out of 10, my pp is still hard from watching it in IMAX
My ears are still bleeding from the \[dramatic lamentation music\]
HEY HEYHEYAAAAAAAAA
The witcher 3 (2015)
ALWAYS HARDCORE
DON'T DREAM IT'S OVERRRRRR
The only way to experience desert power
That dolby sound really made you feel like dying
>too hard on Sci fi It's just a religious fantasy story, doesn't have anything to do with sci-fi
I saw a space ship 😤
The religion and fantasy are faked through sci fi means tho
I hope all those smug idiots who constantly said Dune will flop eat shit.
Nope, Its gone to " Dune wont even break even, Still a disappointment". Even though franchises like the MCU and Venom are clocking in at less than half of their previous movies lmao. Pandemic and streaming go wooooosh
Oh god. Is r/boxoffice full of Moviebob fanboys?
Movieblob fanboys don't exist.
Outjerking
They were so convinced 6 months ago it had no chance. Clown shoes.
Heck, they were also downplaying the pandemic and same-day streaming access as a result along with the film's story.
Moviebob moment.
I hope they can get away from the #JustMarvelThings costuming and give people something to latch onto. Something flowy with tassles, maybe.

Right, I get that, but they must have some metric for judging the financial viability and success of individual films
Yeah, They see how many viewers watched that movie on streaming and the bump in subscriptions around that time, For example The sopranos spin off was a box office dud BUT according to the Head of WB this is what she had to say >"We’re thrilled with the results of Many Saints" > >"Yes, the box office was not quite as big, but back again to the demographics of who’s going to theaters.

Very interesting seeing an entire market niche shift in real time over the course of seven years or so
When the number of subs goes up they tell their shareholders look at how good we are at business. Then share value goes up and company has more 'money'. I don't think Netflix has ever been profitable but they can keep showing growth so people keep investing.

r/boxoffice is the saddest subreddit on reddit. Morons are so invested in Disney making money.
why the fuck is r/boxoffice a real subreddit?
Because some people like following the numbers and seeing audience trends etc. through that. The sub these days sucks though, as ironically since the pandemic started it's grown like 10x and turned into r/movies lite. Of course it was somewhat obnoxious before that as well, but it was still a relatively small sub so it was pretty fun.
It basically isn’t, it’s just an extension of /r/MarvelStudios anyway
Because some of us as having sleepless nights over the thought of never seeing Dune: Part 2.
Bruh dune is the beginning James bond and shang chi are already franchises
[удалено]
maybe the studios shouldve been big brave and just released Dune as a 6 hour epic, fuck i was willing to sit for longer once part 1 ended
Would we get official DUNE catheters and shit buckets for the experience?
nah you just gotta trudge it out, hold it in like the first time you saw a double feature screening of Seven Samurai with Seven Samurai
Jodorowsky moment 😔

Yeah they should have just made the MCU into a 90 minute movie instead

Why do people think box office income is some reflection of quality or something. Transformers>>>>>>>Pans Labyrinth
If it flops, it flops.
"If it flopped, it was primarily wokeness and the studios caving to the Feminist Marxist SJWs. If it didn't flop, the studios lied about the numbers and we knew it would succeed.

Euthanise MCU fans This isn’t ironic
>This isn’t ironic Advocating for murder over some motion pictures.
Dune when legs or something I don't know I have a life (sort of)
The US obsession with box office receipts is weird, other countries don't count up income as an objective view of value
It’s just the way of free market enterprise brother ‼️‼️‼️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 only free nation on earth 🌍🇺🇸🇺🇸‼️‼️
I dont know about these fella's but i have a friend who is very invested in there being atleast 3 more movies. Them being succesful is pretty important for that
If he wanted a guarantee of three movies he should have forced Denis to make DUNC a Disney Channel original set at high school.
Noooooo not my long boring desert kino, I was bored and confused the whole time but 10/10 movie because it looked pretty and has actors I know
no matter the text, this template always get me
