Guess I'm still the champion, /tv/.
Will I ever be topped?

That's not Mortal Kombat
>makes back its budget from china in a single weekend

fucking retard
>>70734718
>global is the new domestic
False.
If movies keep bombing in the US, they'll get released internationally and not in the US at all, and then where will we be?
>>70734335
I don't really give a shit about commercial success, but yeah Resident Evil is still the GOAT vidya film
2 best
>>70734335
>/tv/ likes a movie where the only black character acts like a white guy
Figures
>>70735274
Jill was hot, but Apocalypse is decent at best. First one is infinitely better
>>70735274
Would bang, but the 2nd movie was shot through a cheese-grater. Unwatchable.
Made enough money to get 5 sequels after it
Pretty safe to say its the best
That is not Silent Hill.
>>70735385
GREAT TIER:
Resident Evil
MEH Tier:
Resident Evil 3
UNWATCHABLE Tier:
The rest
>>70735395
Last 20 minutes dragged on to snoozeville. Gives RE the edge.
>>70735609
swap RE3 for RE2
>>70735609
change "UNWATCHABLE Tier" to "SO BAD THEY'RE GOOD Tier" and we have a deal
>>70735967
You must not be remembering which was which. RE3 was the one in the desert, RE2 was the one that looked like it was photographed by a drunk monkey on roller skates, then edited by a cocaine-addicted toddler.

7/10
1. Resident Evil
5/10
2. Resident Evil: Retribution
3. Resident Evil: Extinction
4/10
4. Resident Evil: Afterlife
5. Resident Evil: Apocalypse
I found the Retribution angle novel, at least. 3 and 4 felt like the same movie, 4 was just slightly worse.

>>70736282
It was used exactly correctly.
A hit in China and a bomb in the U.S. is still a bomb. What are they gonna do, just not release the sequel in the U.S.?
hnnnnnnnnggggg
>>70736432
>>not adjusted for inflation
Sure. For inflation it'd be $136 mil - still less than half of Warcraft's gross.
>>first number represents domestic only
No, it is not. It made $40mil domestic and a further $62mil foreign, for a total of $102mil. You're either lying or could not be bothered looking it up.
>>so anal retentive and autistic he thinks box office is the sole judge of film quality
No, but it is the sole judge of what bombs.
>>70736546
>not fapping to The Fifth Element
n00b.
>>70736608
It's a different system, movies didn't get an international rollout like they do today, they were built solely for the U.S. market. Nowadays they're made as bland as possible to appeal to 6 billion people.
If you want to split hairs (and I can see that you do), it was a domestic bomb, and that's enough to kill a sequel. Also it wasn't as good as OP movie and you can't calculate that on your autistic accountant beancounter spreadsheet.
>people actually thinking the Resident Evil movies are even remotely good
Top kek, even the first was absolute dogshit.
>inb4 something about warcraft
>>70736260
>>70736242
My niggas. Good taste confirmed.
Despite trying to be a horror/thriller, I found Doom to be so comfy for some reason. I used to just keep it on in the background while I played vidya or did work.

>A hit in China and a bomb in the U.S. is still a bomb.
No, it's not. It's a financially successful film. It also hasn't been released everywhere yet, and has only been in the States for one weekend. It'll make fine bank, easily breaking the $400mil mark, probably settling around $550mil.
>What are they gonna do, just not release the sequel in the U.S.?
No, of course not - because they still made money on it. The Wolverine only just scraped back its budget in the US, but it smashed it overseas, bringing in more than double its domestic - hence the upcoming sequel, which I would be very surprised to see go unreleased in America, despite its poor box-office gross.
>>70736696
>a domestic bomb is enough to kill a sequel
First of all, even though you and I both know they want to make a shitload of sequels and make crazy bank, none are on the books yet, at all. They haven't even officially said they want to do one (though, again, we all know they obviously do).
Second, bombing in America is NOT enough to kill a sequel. See
>The Chronicles of Riddick
>The Wolverine
>Resident Evil: Retribution
>Blade Runner
>Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
>Also it wasn't as good as OP movie
I know. I agree. I'm not arguing that at all. I'm just quibbling over the use of the phrase "bomb", which is frequently misused on this board alongside other terms such as "deus ex machina", "Mary Sue" and "plot hole". The film was panned. It did not bomb.
Examples:
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was panned, but did not bomb.
Blade Runner was not panned, but bombed.
Pluto Nash was panned and bombed.
Avatar wasn't panned, nor did it bomb.
>>70736893
>George Romero was involved!
>the first movie is Through the Looking Glass with zombies!
>That makes the movies good!
Fuck off.
>>70737185
It's a bland, poor movie. And the reasons you use to back up are specious at best:
>Second, bombing in America is NOT enough to kill a sequel. See
>The Chronicles of Riddick
No sequel was to be made, it took a decade and kickstarter to make one.
>The Wolverine
Still shit, Hugh Jackman got this made, not the power of either of the first tow movies
>Resident Evil: Retribution
Everything after 3 was basically straight-to-DVD
>Blade Runner
The original came out in 1982, are you fucking serious?
>Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
The 2nd two movies did pretty well, not bombs by any means.
>>70737332
You said that a domestic bomb kills a sequel, so I gave several examples off the top of my head of when it's happened.
Now you're saying "yeah but those don't count", as if the Warcraft franchise doesn't have the power of Hugh Jackman.
Make your point, senpai.
>>70737332
man are you even trying now
>>70734335
I liked Silent Hill better, though the first RE movie was okay, the rest blow hard.
>>70737587
First RE sucked bro.
>>70737826
Compared to the others in the series?
Not sure about that.
It did blow, but it blew less than the others.
>>70737850
>X is good because at least it isn't as bad as Y and Z
No, all the Resident Evil movies are shit.
>>70736242
Fuck no
At least RE can be enjoyed as a fun action/horror film with no pretensions. The problem with Silent Hill is that it tries to be a dark horror movie, except the tension relies on us the audience giving a single shit about the mom finding her daughter. No reason exists for us to care about her or care about her mom finding her, which destroys any all tension.
RE is superior because it knows what it and the director knows he isn't making high art, so we get a fun movie instead of a mediocre flick like Silent Hill
>>70738061
Fuck, I'm not saying any of them are good, just that one was less shitty than the others.
You know what, forget it.
>>70736546
seriously can Stoya act ? i tought pornstars were bad actors
