Why lads. WHY.
>>70539675
Any chance we get some sort of director's cut edition?
>>70540731
Yep if the movie makes enough movie
as it's looking right now the movie is going to be succesful at the box office.
Not $1 billion+ succesful but still succesful
>>70540779
Shill pls.

Fucking nothing, you're just a bunch of retarded manchildren that know shit about how box office works.
>>70539675
It's okay, Duncan. David Lynch made a lousy sci-fi movie, and he turned out okay.
>>70540936
So what are you saying? Money from China is worth significantly less? Or maybe China gets to keep most of it?
>>70541033
http://www.wsj.com/articles/for-hollywood-not-all-box-office-dollars-are-equal-1409241925
Holy shit, you shills are dumb as fuck.
>The cut of each box office dollar that studios take varies from as little as 25 cents in China to about 50 cents in the U.S. On top of that, more-developed nations have robust DVD, digital and television markets that generate additional revenue following a movie's run in theaters. Developing countries, as well as ones with high piracy rates, have small or practically nonexistent post-theatrical businesses.
>>70539675
Because renting out a cinema is better if a movie is shorter.
Also, people still pay money to see it regardless.
>>70540936
>>70541082
>MUH SHILLS

You got fuck all you come with
Did you even read what I linked you?
Yes they make less from China but it's irrelevant since they will make $300 million AT LEAST over there
I know that you're the same faggot that keeps spamming in the other Warcraft thread, just fuck off you deluded retard
>>70541123
not an argument, shill
>>70541183
Nice meme crossposter, fuck your vidya movie and fuck your meme molytuber
>>70541263
Why can't you make a proper response instead of using insults? It's pretty obvious you know shit about how the box office works and you're just getting desperate.
>>70541301
not
an
argument
>>70541337
You're getting desperate as fuck, shill.
>>70541301
I'm not that guy but you're the one that doesn't know anything about the box office dude
Nobody has fucking denied that it makes less % in China than domestically
All you got are buzzwords, so fuck off instead
>duncan spent 6 years of his life on this that could have been made making scifi kino
>>70541392
Except I do, retard.
If you think that China means shit then you're nothing more than a bunch of retards, specially when Domestic is already confirmed to be a failure.

This is the way people thought 10 years ago
There's a reason as to why every studio are pushing their blockbusters heavily in China you dumb fuck
You're literally the only one that is denying the fact that it will be a box office hit
How butthurt are you? Seriously
>>70541530
That literally means nothing worldwide, retard.
US income is still the only thing that matters.
>>70541536

>>70541581
>US income is still the only thing that matters
Once again, NO, I repeat, NO studio thinks this way anymore
You're right that this was the case 10 years ago but things has changed grandpa
International markets even matter MORE than domestic markets nowadays
>>70541684
Except that's false, shill.
Explain me your retarded logic of why you think this is true so I can laugh at you.

If China isn't profitable than why does Hollywood try to cater to them?
This shit is a business and there is money to be made in that market. Fuck off. Less take is made up for with more audience.
>>70541747
This is a good article on the topic

>1 (You)
>>70541747
>>70541989
Also, to add one thing
Marketing in China is EXTREMELY CHEAP compared to USA, which of course also is an important factor.
Studios has to spend a lot of money to get nay sales domestically but in China barely anything at all
It'll do well in the foreign markets
>>70541989
>The billion dollar box office mark isn’t so much a magic number that guarantees profitability as it is a sort of symbolic Hollywood holy grail. After all, with more than half the box office receipts going to theater owners, and as much as a half billion dollars in production expenditures and global marketing costs, most studio blockbuster films rely far more on home video, digital distribution and TV sales than they rely on box office to break into the black.
>The billion dollar box office mark isn’t so much a magic number that guarantees profitability as it is a sort of symbolic Hollywood holy grail.
This is the only reason of why they care, shill.
Read and understand the shit you post.
>>70541033
Studios see about 10-15% of Chinese box office returns.
>>70542243
>SHILL SHILL SHILL SHILL
I like how you pick one of the least important quotes in the article
What's relevant is the fact that China matter for the box office, no matter how much you choose to ignore it
>>70542419
That's incorrect, it's usually 25% but since Legendary is owned by a chinese company it might very well be more than that
>>70542464
Still no proper argument, shill.
>China has played an increasingly essential role as kingmaker for those films aiming for the rarefied billion dollar threshold.
>The billion dollar figure is important mainly because it offers the promise of big box office bonuses to the filmmakers and studio executives behind such successes, and bragging rights for everyone involved.
>and bragging rights for everyone involved
>and bragging rights for everyone involved
>and bragging rights for everyone involved
>>70542464
So it is.
It went from 11% to 25% this year.
Legendary also has two divisions (one Chinese one Domestic) to circumvent this anyway (mostly to circumvent the 10 picture rule).
>>70542622
>China matters for movies to reach 1 billion
>THAT DOESNT MEAN CHINA MATTERS FOR OTHER MOVIES XDDD
Stay retarded
We'll see in a few weeks disney cuck, have fun.
>>70542709
Are you retarded or are your reading comprehension skills really this poor?
I'm not calling a shill right now(although you are) but you're really dumb as fuck.
>>70541581
You are so deluded, it's like you actually fell for the >USA IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY EVER OF ALL TIME meme
these film companies aren't obsessing over what they sold in the US market alone you dumb fuck, just what they sold in the market overall
>>70542852
Yeah, I bet that's why all Hollywood films are now starring women or niggers and how they are trying to fit PC crap all the time even if China hates it (hurr durr muh gay Star Wars characters)....
You shills really know nothing...
>>70542992
so anything outside of USA is China?
wew lad
>thread turned into a sperg match
where the fuck is the fredposter when you need him

>>70543479
hahaha okay kid, I guess you did fall for the american patriotism meme lmao
your arguments are non existent and now you're just embarrassing yourself

You or any other shill haven't provided me any proper counterargument in the entire thread.
>>70543967
t. Blizzard shill
>>70543726
But there have been loads, in fact your points have been blown out the water on several occasions, you just get upset and try to refute them all
Trying to say that all markets outside of USA are irrelevant is just fucking stupid, especially when the American economy is declining while others are growing healthily, Asia is a huge market with literally billions of potential customers, plus Europe and Oceania, and film companies are not going to skip out on these because retards like you watch too much Fox and read too much Trump and think that the USA is the shining light of the world
Thankfully they don't hire the mentally incapable like you to do jobs like that, stick to cleaning up public toilets or licking the dog shit from under my shoe, faggot

>>70544122
Just like that, you ignore the actual points and just send some bullshit reply
it's sad, little man :(
Why do studios care about running time as long as it isn't ludicrously excessive?
What normal moviegoer knows how long the film is before going to see it?
Is it just to maximize the number of showings per day?
>>70544248
Are you retarded?

False, other countries are also seeing a decline.

Nice argument, retard. You're nothing more than a butthurt shill
Since the critics are all bought by Disney/Marvel and hate it, does this mean it's pure kino for /tv/? Will this film be a cult classic?

Keep the delicious butthurt, it proves how desperate you are right now.
>>70545059
If any sequel is made without the same director, cast or budget it pretty much means that the movie barely made a profit and producers decided to invest less in something just to increase their small profits.
Which is why you see many straight to video sequels.
