Speaking estimated percentage wise for a movie like this, how much does box office matter compared to DVD sales, merchandise, Netflix/Hulu/Amazon video revenue, CN buying the rights to play it on tv, etc.?
Because, yea the movie fucking bombed like Hiroshima, but it'll probably make its money back eventuality, right?

Also,

Did the guy in charge of its release date just fucking hate his job or what's the logic here? Releasing anything in the same fucking month as a new Star Wars is half past retarded, let alone the same goddamn day.

Then the answer is no, even the original Star Wars was a huge risk and pretty much no one wanted to finance it. The only reason it worked was because it remixed so many familiar elements into something new while ripping off movies most of the audience had never seen anyway.

The logic is simple though.

If SW is sold out and kids with their parents are already at the theater, they'd likely watch Alvin and The Chipmunks instead.

It sometimes works, but SW is just too big and people are willing to wait for it.

The flaw in this is, why torture yourself and sit through Alvin? If you're already gunho to bring your youngins to see Ep 7, which, from what I've heard is pretty violent and kinda dark, you're not gonna take your kids to see a kids movie simply because it's for kids, you'll take them to go see Krampus or whatever the fuck is playing now.

The term "viral video" and the fuckwits who believe they can make a video go "viral" just by making it silly and weird fucking triggers me.

Sadly, "internet culture" are more "look we're so hip for knowing of the may mays" than "study and investigation into how certain images, videos, phrases, etc. catch on and spread around the internet."

Which is a real shame, because it would be interesting to see some actual research done on the subject. Sadly, most academics are too busy squealing over how "unsafe" and "gross" 4chan is to ever bother trying to understand board culture.

They're completely unrelated humanoid chipmunks.

We have crafted our own, a deity of pain and twisted malignancy forged from the twisted shards of the lost and sad.

For this is future we chose, and when the rotting enormity devours us with palsied and dying hunger, then shall come the utter culmination of the human body, mind, and soul.

And that supreme product of a million times a million plague-rotted and evil hearts shall be:
