Good for Deadpool I guess?
>>81416100
Deadpool is what happens when the people involved actually care about the source material.Also,I'd argue the tight budget actually helped
Ryan Reynolds face when.
>>81416100
>Still in the top 10
>>81416100
if Deadpool beats BvS, my sides will never recover
>>81416100
Blows my mind that it was so succesful box office wise, considering it had all those things against it.
Don't forget to pick up your laserdisc copy.
So who were the retards that didn't want to greenlit this movie? Blows my mind that Reynolds had to fight over a decade to have it made and if it wasn't for the leak it might've never seen the light of day.
I bet Fox is dumbfounded by this success.
>>81416598
Tom Rothman?
>>81416598
Thomas Rothman. He's now the head of Sony's movies.
Last thing he greenlighted before he left was Fantastic Four.
>>81416598
I don't think this would have done as well as it did if it came out in 2008. The MCU changed the comic book movie game
>>81416671
Jesus. How does that guy still have a job?
Hopefully he bends over and takes it nice from Feige when it comes to the MCU Spiderman movie.
>>81416759
This, though who's to say for sure. I would say that Deadpool was aided in being released during this period in cinema, but it might have been well accepted back in the day too.
>>81416671
Tom Rothman vs. Avi Arad
Who wins?
>>81416779
>how does that guy still have a job
once you make it to an executive level you pretty much play musical chairs with different companies until you retire or go into politics
>>81416873
Amy Pascal.
>>81416873
>Avi Arad is producing the Venom solo movie and it'll be non MCU
When will that old jew just die already, he's been fucking up things I like since the 90s.
>>81416236
Unfortunately the same can't be said for DREDD.
That movie was 100% comic book with great acting from Urban, and great action as well.
Sunk like a tank in the ocean.
>>81417037
Dredd isn't a meme
>>81416955
Pretty sure Rothman just took her job.
>>81417007
Dredd was horribly marketed and was released as 'Dredd 3D'. Whose bright fucking idea was putting 3D on the title, it immediatly turned off a bunch of people.
>>81416925
Hollywood: failing sideways.
>>81416925
what the fuck do i need to do to become an executive producer.
>>81416671
>>81417007
Is Feige literally the only capeshit producer that actually knows what he's doing? Fox, Sony and WB producers seem to not really know what they're doing half the time, business wise.
Not even a Marveldrone, but from what I observed Feige seems to be the only one that actually knows what he's doing and is confident in his decisions when it comes to these superhero properties.
>>81417182
know someone who's already an executive
>>81417037
>>81416236
Deadpool had a fantastic marketing campaign and it came out just at the right time of Superhero popularity. Dredd had awful marketing even though it was a fantastic movie
>>81417218
Eh, it may be correlation more than causation. Like when John Peters produced Batman.
I guess the modern WB equivalent would be Charles Roven whose record is a mixed bag, but I'm not sure how involved he is.
>>81417182
Jon Peters was a hairdresser in the 70's. He worked at his family's hair salon in Hollywood, where he met and befriended many celebrities and businessmen.
He made Barbara Streisand a wig for a movie. They started dating. He produced one of her albums, and got a producing credit on one of her movies.
And then he was a producer.
So there's one way.
>>81417139

Honestly I feel dumb for not remembering how terrible the marketing was.
