Mars needs moms
didn't delgo gross less than a million on a $40 million budget, causing the director to kill himself after his passion project was one of the biggest flops in history
>>67811774
why did it bomb so hard?
>>67811830
Name sucked.
>Atleast it was appreciated as time went on
>>67811747
>Writen and directed by a woman.
No surprise there

There was some movie that only made like 30 bucks. But I think it was a cheat, they had to release it somehow and put it in only a couple theaters or something.
>>67811747
3080 dollars
How many people paid to watch that? Like 300?
Also I always wondered, what happens to movies that don't make profit? Who has to pay up?
I remember there was one movie that was released in the mid-2000's, starred one well-known female actress but only made less than $100
Anyone know which movie this is?
>>67812576
Mad Max: Zyzzyx Road
>>67812553
Depends. If it's under the umbrella of a studio, the studio eats the cost. If the movie is independent, it's generally private investors stupid enough to invest in a flop.
>>67811830
The art style was ugly and I guess people were sick of animated space movies.Anybody remember Space Chimps?
Ishtar
>51million dollar budget
>made like 14 grand
>>67812497
I believe you are thinking of that FIFA movie with Sam Neil
>>67812655
I see, and do the hired workers (actors, producers, director, etc.) get paid in the end?
>>67812470
Not only did Wolves bomb but he was torpedoed from his own franchise. David Hayter and Anthony Burch are the biggest JUSTs on /v/.
>>67811830
>>67812754
Yes. When it says the budget was $100 million or whatever that includes the workers salaries.
Some actors will take a cut of profits for a lower salary, so they might lose out, but they still get paid whatever was negotiated.
>>67812771
who's Anthony Burch and what did he do?
>>67812798
Interesting. Danks bruh
>>67812836
Burch is a Borderlands writer whose wife left him for a black guy.
>>67812576
What kind of box office receipts do you want faм?
>>67812836
Last I knew: Burch was prominent in promoting the 'art game' movement and developed a couple of shitty 'games', he got a job writing the Borderlands games. I'd like to know what happened after that because I disliked him a lot.
>>67812836
Wrote meme filled script in Borderlands 2 which caused initial derision. Radical SJW, framed a tweet Anita Sarkeesian directed at him and convinced his wife for an open relationship. He tried dating a guy and "realized" he wasn't gay while his wife got plowed constantly. Wife left him and took his Wii U
>>67812959
BLACKED
>>67812959
damn that's gotta hurt.
>>67812993
just gimme enough to buy food for a few days fämbo
>>67812993
>The film opened at one theater, Highland Park Village Theater in Dallas, Texas. It ran for six days, and made $30 at the box office. A crew member who took a friend got a refund, so the final domestic box-office gross was $20 or the equivalent of three tickets sold.
>>67812993
Proportionally, this is the worst movie in the thread. For every 1 dollar they made, they spent 40,000.
Congratulations
>>67813118
>>67813003
So he's basically reddit: the man?
>>67813118
>A crew member who took a friend got a refund,
Lmao
>>67813003
fucking JUST
hoooooooly shit
>>67813155
He's got a qt sister.
>>67812959
>>67813053
>>67813055
It's worse than that.
He had an "open relationship" with his wife.
She was fucking dudes, and he was struggling to find any woman to sleep with.
Eventually, it ended with him staying at home, complaining on Twitter, with his wife going out and getting fucked by random men.
Then she just stopped coming home at all.
This was around the time he started doubling down on the SJW stuff and tweeting shit like "I stand with Anita!" and crap like that.
The most important thing to remember though, is that you're not Anthony Burch
>>67813331
>mfw I realised I'm not Anthony Burch
>>67812993
>A few days after Christmas, John Penney checked his e-mail. He had been on vacation in Napa with his wife and daughter, and on the way home they stopped off at his sister’s house in Carmel, Calif. He logged on, scanned through his in-box, then clicked on an innocent-looking message from an acquaintance, who’d sent him an article. ”What if they released a movie and nobody came?” read the headline. The story, from the scrappy film site CHUD.com, described a truly spectacular failure — a 2006 thriller called Zyzzyx Road that, despite starring Tom Sizemore and Grey’s Anatomy’s Katherine Heigl, had grossed a grand total of $30 at the box office. ”I was mortified,” says Penney, who, as it happens, had written, directed, and produced the movie in question. ”I went, ‘Oh, my God, this is horrendous.’ I’m reading it and saying, ‘Oh, no. Oh, no! This isn’t how it’s supposed to go.’ I’ve been through a lot of crap in my career. I’ve seen so many things. But this movie is like my baby, and it’s being dragged around in the street with people poking sticks in it. It was brutal. It was ugly. I was reeling.”
>In a daze, Penney drove his family home to L.A. ”It was kind of quiet in the car,” he says. ”But pretty soon the humor of the whole thing starts kicking in. By the end of the trip we’re just laughing. I’m thinking, You know what? It’s an Internet thing?it’ll die down.” But there was another e-mail waiting at home. Variety had picked up the story — and was calling Zyzzyx the lowest-grossing movie on record. ”I go, ‘Oh, noooo.’ But I said, ‘Now surely it’s done with. This is all gonna go away.”’ Trying to resume his normal routine, Penney went to see Children of Men. ”I come out of the screening room, and my cell says I have a message. [Zyzzyx editor] Joe Gutowski is saying, ‘John, let me just say, there’s no such thing as bad publicity.’
>>67812033
This bombed? Damn, it's one of the best musical films ever IMO, this is a surprise.
>>67813331
Yeah it's hard to feel bad for SJW's because they're so fucking contemptuous and judgemental of other viewpoints even when they're crashing their lives with no survivors.
>>67812796
looks so fucking terrible
>>67813844
Because it is. It's a mess of a story, art direction was bland, the actors were really odd choices, and in general it's just nonsense
Disney doesn't understand Mars.
>>67813598
So the memes are true. stupid moron deserved every second of it
>>67813598
I refuse to believe people live like that.
>>67813206
he's one of the main players in the incredible rise of the word "cuck"

>>67814518
im ashamed to say i saw this in theatres with a friend (we have a history of watching sbc movies) and we nearly died laughing
>>67813598
I thought this wa going to be the story of the guy who wanted an open realtionship with his GF because he wasnt attracted to her anymore and thought hes be getting pussy and shes be getting none but was shocked that she ended up getting alpha's and no one wanted to fuck him and some adonis came up to him and said "you a tolerant guy for letting your girl fuck me. if she was my girl i would never have an open relationship"
>>67812796
>ooga booga where the earth wimmin at
test
>>67812993
That's what happens when your movie title is too embarrassing to say out loud.
>>67814971
There's no shame in laughing with friends. Plus even shitty humor can tickle.
>>67813598
This is fake. I mean, it has to be
>>67815744
This is how the sexual market actually operates. Women used to trade sex for security and commitment. Now that the government provides the security, men have nothing to trade.
Feminism has made your life worse, but we're not allowed to say so in public.

Wait, did he go back to gearbox? He left after he finished writing stuff for tales.

'Plush' was worth making for this scene alone
>>67813572
The cinematic release was ruined because 'muh happy ending' cunts
>>67812033
i remember this plant singing at the oscars that year
>>67816258
oh dear....
You guys do realize that many of these movies that "fail" are actually money laundering schemes and the movies are never meant to be successful in the first place
>>67816540
Good one, Snyder.
>>67816540
I don't get it, if the IRS were to audit someone with a money laundering movie scheme, wouldn't they be caught because of the box office numbers?
>>67815871
Fewer marriages mean fewer divorces.
>>67815871
the issue isn't feminism, it's the separation of the sex drive from children because of universally available, reliable contraception. if people can fuck without consequences then it becomes recreational, and the value of the security traditionally offered by men declines by itself as women aren't hostages of their own reproductive system any more.
>>67816740
>>67816770
First of all pretty much all movie budgets are inflated with the help of creative accounting, that way if the movie doesn't do as good as they hoped they can claim a loss on their yearly taxes
Secondly most of the money laundering happens with small direct to DVD movies made by small production companies with links to organized crime (spend 300k on shitty movie, inflate budget costs number and receipts to 2.5 mil, give the production company a small kick back, profit).
>>67816960
Oh, that's pretty cool.
>>67816960
Is it true that's how Uwe Boll got funding for so many years?
>>67817094
No it's because he makes quality cinéma
>>67813331
I feel quite a bit better about myself after reading that. I would probably shoot myself if something like that happened to me. Wouldn't even bother going after my ex or her fuckbuddies, because I'd only have myself to blame for such stupidity.
>>67812470
This did have a great sex scene and 10/10 tits from the main actress though, so not all bad
>>67817094
Yes in fact Germany basically made this into law in a bid to start up the German cinema sector. As long as most of the movie was filmed in Germany you could write off the entire production cost on your taxes. So the German companies would give money to Boll to make flops then have their own people work on the film. The film would bomb and the companies would write off their OWN spending on the film as the production cost and not pay taxes.
It actually helped Boll that the films flopped. If they're successes that would attract more attention to the companies producing them which were fronts for his investors.

One, two, three, four.
Four, two, three, four.
That one high school movie that came out in the late 80s/early 90s. Can't remember the name.
>>67814971
Well, I'm gonna watch it with my retarded friends then.
>>67811830
-The title was awful
-The subject matter was bizarre for a kids movie
-The non-human character designs are legit horrifying
-The human character designs are the most uncanny valley shit since The Polar Express
But most of all...
-Disney did shit all to advertise the thing and just sort of pushed it out there and hoped for the best without any active marketing campaign behind it. Most people didn't even know it existed until years later when it started popping up on every "Biggest Box Office Bombs" list.
>>67812796
>Rastafarian E.T.
th' fuck?
>>67812470
>Jennifer Hale in the main cast
>>67818952
There's no way that wasn't a money laundering scheme.
>>67811774
>>67812796
i have no idea why i liked this movie so much, it had alot of problems and shitty ideas behind it, but it's still my favourite animated movie since How to Train your Dragon.
The OST for it was 10/10 though.
>>67815871
Marriage has gotten so fucking expensive and if you're a guy married to a woman, divorce is even more expensive. I can't imagine marrying someone I haven't know and built up absolutely unbridled faith in over a long period of time, but marriage typically doesn't work like that. How many married couples do you know who were together for years prior to marriage? It's rare.
I honestly can't see myself ever getting married. I'm a faggot and even though being a faggot mostly sucks, I always took solace in the fact that I'd never have to worry about the prospect marriage. Of course now other faggots have fucked that up for me.
>>67819007

I would like to get married
Under the condition that we're together, and living together, for at least a few years prior
>>67816258
The punk girl sex scenes were the best part.

At least the school allowed him to take a sabbatical and walk the Camino de Santiago.
