>Yes, unless Walt Disney pulls off a miracle overseas, Steven Spielberg’s The BFG will be that rarest of things: A Steven Spielberg box office bomb. The $140 million fantasy film, based on a Roald Dahl book, will earn around $22 million over the July 4th holiday.
>Most people will argue that the star-studded and critically-trashed 1941 was Steven Spielberg’s first box office disaster. And while the film did only make $31 million domestic on a $35m budget, it did make $92m worldwide, thus nearly tripling its budget. So for this argument, I would consider it a disappointment rather than an outright disaster.

Why don't goyim like Spielberg anymore? Did they not like Schindler's List?
>>71633007
Was the actual movie any good? Not memein'
>>71633007
I feel like cinema altogether is dying as a medium when paying attention to the sales this year
only generic and mindless movies make money while the actual thought-provoking ones are "disappointments" or even "disasters"
>the bfg
>the big fucking giant
Who allowed this?
>>71633007
It has a crappy title that doesn't clue you in to what the movie's about. Also the CGI looked kinda bad in the trailer.
>>71633164
this. the future of entertainment is reaction videos, streams of people playing videogames, vine comedy bits, and the occasional stupid ultraviolent TV show like game of thrones or the walking dead or daredevil.
feature-length movies are old people shit.
Don't worry, chinks and euros will eat that shit up just like they did for Warcraft.
>>71633164
>actual thought-provoking ones are "disappointments" or even "disasters"
Can you name a few movies from this category that were released in the last 2 years?
>>71633007
The fuck did they expect from releasing a movie over 4th of July weekend?
>>71633007
It's already out? Nobody's talking about it.
>>71633007
Havent seen a single trailer for this
>>71633007
Spielberg BTFO
Godard won
It looked really fucking bad, CGI was uncanny as fuck
Also "The BFG"? Thats more of a scifi name, not a kid friendly name. "The Giant" or whatever is a more family friendly name
How can you fuck up a kid's movie?
Parents will literally see it just to get them out of the house
>>71633766
So happy this guy got kicked off Top Gear, marvel BTFO!
>>71633459
Tarzan didn't do too bad
didn't even know this film was coming out this year
literally I didnt even know there was an adaptation coming
>This flopped
>Make another movie that looks exactly like it
Rocket science.
While Hollywood is to blame for the poor state of film making, the signals the audience sends is a clear indicator that people do not want "thought provoking" or original movies anymore: they want sequels and prequels and cinematic universes. Almost all high profile Disney movies featuring a sliver of originality have failed miserably. Not even Steven Spielberg's name can make people go watch a movie that's not part of an already established franchise. Personally I am turned off by the excess of CGI in this film; as a side note I found the almost complete lack of CGI in Bridge of Spies extremely refreshing.

>>71633823
Yes it did.
Finding Dory did better week 3 than Tarzan did opening weekend.
>>71633920
The BFG is adapted from the Roald Dahl movie you dumbass
Spielberg hasn't been creative in 50 years.
>>71634020
It's fucking Pixar, no one can compete.
Big Friendly Giant?
I've haven't seen any ads for it. I only know it from here.
>>71633333
>$140 million budget on shitty animation.
money laundering. spielberg made lots from this i bet.
>>71634020
I'm honestly perplexed why any studio makes non capeshit anymore
Who actually thought there was a market for Tarzan?
It's a kid's movie, but kids sopped reading Roald Dahl after Harry Potter came out.
>>71634020
will they spent half of the budget of Dory on advertisement, never saw one add for Tarzan or state of jones
>>71634095
probably long before that tb-h
Am I the only one that actually saw the movie????
IT FUCKING SUCKED for spielberg's standards. It sucked for any standards.
Not surprised it flopped
>>71634026
>Roald Dahl movie
>movie
Post good Dahl adaptations.
>>71633964
I was fine, but "Cia and the chocolate agency" got me.
i literally just found out about roald dahl in this thread ask me anything
>>71633164
But BvS made almost $900 mil.?
>>71634139
Roald Dahl was huge throughout my entire childhood, and Harry Potter came out around the time I entered high school.
The James and the Giant Peach movie had just come out a year or two earlier.
>>71634376
Have you seen Gremlins?
>>71634376
>the average poster /tv/ poster is 14
>they played on iphones and facebook instead of reading children's classics
Why am I not surprised
>>71633007
I didn't hear about the existence of this film until a week ago. That probably has something to do with it. It's a Roald Dahl book for God's sake. They could have spent a bit more on advertising.
>>71633823
Like ID4 2, it made less than $50m on its opening weekend and came in below Finding Dory, now in its third weekend at #1 despite another 46% drop in revenue. That's really not good for a movie with a $180m budget. And, unlike ID4 2, it's not doing moderately well overseas to marginally make up for its failure in the States.
>>71633766
Because they're still taking them to see Finding Dory in droves. Disney should have put The BFG off a ways so as not to get trodden on by the fish movie.
>>71633164
When have tentpole movies ever been particularly thought provoking? The term "mindless summer action movie" exists for a reason - but to be honest, it's mostly those sorts of movies that are failing to achieve great heights this year. If you're really looking at this year's sales, you'd notice that what's making up most of the Top 5 are family films. Sure, Civil War & Deadpool are in there, but the other three are Finding Dory, The Jungle Book & Zootopia. To me, that says people are taking their kids to see movies, but not really seeing many for themselves.
>>71634276
Pic is literally the only Dahl adaptation that he's known to have liked.
you know I hate Judaism and what it's done to America and the world.
But i can't summon too much ill will towards Speilbergo.
He (and Scorsese) literally represent the end of Classic Hollywood-- in both tradition (they met the greats) and style.
I'm a little saddened by a Spielberg flop because it just gives an argument to some idiot millenial studio executive that will shovel money on the next Zack Snyder or some degenerate political project.
there will come a time when Spielberg, Scorsese and, yes, evenNolanwon't be able to get financing to make a film. ;_;
>>71633164
It's actually the mindless blockbuster movies that suffered the worst this year. BvS underperformed badly. same with X-men Apocalypse. TNMT 2 did ridiculously bad, just barely making its budget back. Warcraft was a domestic box office disaster only saved by China... Even a highly anticipated, critically praised behemoth like Civil War slightly underperformed.
>>71634396
>But BvS made almost $900 mil.?
Globally. When the expectation was that it would make that much domestically, but instead made only about $330m and sits at #6 for the year. It's a perfect example of how you can ostensibly make a lot of money, but still be seen as a failure.
>>71634598
I don't think you know what classic Hollywood is
>>71633164
Yeah. Hell, the movies I've enjoyed either bombed or underperformed
find me a movie with a worse title, i dare you
The BFG is the be-all, end-all of horrendous titles until you find me a better piece of shit to grimace at
>literally call your film the big fucking goy
>man nobody's seeing it hmm
>>71634685
Danny the champion of the world
Not the title you'd expect for a book about poaching peasants.
>>71634685
Captain Underpants. Get ready for the adaption coming out next year
>>71634756
so i guess this roald dahl dude is just the king of this
>>71634685
>The BFG is the be-all, end-all of horrendous titles
But it's pure nostalgia, and conjures up happy memories of childhood innocence in three simple letters.
>>71634825
nah, great title. instantly tells you it's a kid's book
The BFG makes me think of Doom
>>71634871
...if you read the book
>>71633007
It's because he made a BFG movie with a massive budget. Seriously, why? Just make it animated if you want to at all.

They're idiots
>>71634900
Everyone old enough to be here read the book...
>>71633164
>only generic and mindless movies make money
Yet this year these are failing at a record amount. I just hope to fucking god people start pulling back and we can get more smaller summer movies like 10CL - considering how hard that hit the bank, we actually might.
>>71634922
You're aware that the giant is a decrepit old man, right?
>>71634886
yeah this.
Honestly, no one under 40 will think of anything other than Doom.
I'm surprised this didn't come up in their fucking marketing meetings.
>>71634871
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BFG_(weapon)
>The abbreviation BFG stands for "Big Fragging Gun" as described in Tom Hall's original Doom design document and in the user manual of Doom II: Hell on Earth. The Quake II manual says it stands for "Big, Uh, Freakin' Gun". These euphemistic labels imply the more profane name of the BFG, "Big Fucking Gun".
>>71633264
I have to admit, the Giant could have had more work on and looked a bit more human instead of a cartoon.
>>71634939
I didn't. Are you British?
>>71634952
>implying artistic license doesn't exist
>>71633766
>How can you fuck up a kid's movie?
By making it live action. Tons of live action kids movies have failed. Remember Jack and the Giant Slayer or Pan? Oh boy what flops.
Why can't Hollywood do Dahl properly?
Too scared to keep the dark elements of his films whilst still keeping the childlike wonder of his writing?
They even fucked up Matilda, despite having perfect casting for the Trunchbull.
book: a smart girl who happened to get powers
movie: a girl who got powers who happened to be smart.
book: she uses the powers to write a cryptic message the terrify the Trunchbull
film: she writes the message... then in a slapstick scene she uses her powers to everything in the room flying and make all the other kids fly.
>>71634952
that's why it's shit
if it had been about a shota and a giantess milf it would have made dosh
>>71633164
Between the sheer amount of blockbusters being churned out, and people becoming increasingly aware of their mediocrity, it doesn't surprise me that so many are underperforming, if not outright failing. No one wants to see so many of them, so they just stick to the ones they like and are familiar with (which usually means Disney)
Problem is, no studio wants to be the one to cut down on blockbusters, so they'll keep making them and keep losing money. The only possible solution would be to start making them good, but let's not pretend that'll happen
>>71634463
I'm another anon. In my country we read mostly french stuff (Count of Monte Cristo, Les Misérables and The Three Musketeer, etc), stories about the Romans, the Greeks and Aesop's fables.

Matilda. Danny DeVito is fantastic as both the director and as the father.
>>71634968
The book predates Doom
>>71633392
>implying I'm that stupid to name movies which you don't like anyway
kek, try again
>>71634951
they are failing but they are still getting way more money than "niche" and artsy movies
>smaller summer movies like 10CL
I hope so too. didn't like the name of 10CL (since I loved Cloverfield) but the premise was awesome. I really like where sci-fi movies are going. edge of tomorrow and oblivion were a great start, hopefully there will be more like those
>>71634983
In America everybody who grew up in the 90's read Roald Dahl (which is why a bunch of movie adaptations came out during that time).
>>71635052
That doesn't change the fact that most people under 30 associate it with doom foremost
>>71635043
mein neger
matilda is one of my favourite movies of all time. literally not a single motherfucking flaw
>>71635018
Same for me, but even then I've read Dahl. It's Dr Seuss I didn't know was a thing until hearing about him on the internet.
>>71634463

Witches was good, didn't need the book's ending honestly.
>>71635234

Heresy of the highest order.
>>71635205
Roald Dahl was a British author and everything Spielberg has done was made for the American market.
What are you even trying to say?
>>71635234
Apparently Dahl just hated the ending.
Does dramatically change the tone of the film and the book is more in keeping with how dark it is.
>>71633337
>tfw you're 18 and you like some youtube stuff but movies aren't below you
What is wrong with people?
>>71635219
when I found out about the movie carrie I could not stop to think about what would've happened if matilda's class had been filled with a bunch of assholes
>>71633459
I'm visiting family but we still went to the movies. We saw the Shallows though.
>>71635234
That's probably the best Roald Dahl adaptation in the way that it's like a children's adventure story but also kind of terrifying and off-kilter.
>>71635234
That fucking painting.
Doesn't the book make it even more spooky? The girl was in the painting and would keep changing position day after day, sometimes waving at them.
Then one day a strange woman could be seen in the painting and the day after that, the girl and the woman both disappeared.
Yeah what does BFG stand for big flopping giant or sumthing tss
>>71634685
Mars Needs Moms
Man from UNCLE
>>71634685

That's because they chose that disgusting cgi style that they used in Jack the giant slayer and most of Zemeckis 3d flops.
It looks ugly and on top of that there's a mistaken impression kids read books/picture books these days.
>>71635110
that if you're trying to make money off a movie you should give it a name all potential viewers can relate to.
>kids will never know how terrifying fucking Minus World was
>>71635523
Steven Spielberg's The Freedom Giant
>>71635416
That's mentioned in the movie as well, I'm sure of it.
>>71635291
I'll take my lasgun shaken not stirred. Also fun fact, most of these witches are men in drag.
>>71635480
>there's a mistaken impression kids read books/picture books these days
I don't want to be one of those "hurr durr kids these days suck" kind of guys, but all my gf's little brother and his friends do all day is watch Let's Plays and Reaction Videos on youtube; youtube has really become the prime entertainment medium for kids, he barely even plays videogames or watches tv. When his friends come over they just sit around the living room with their ipads showing each other videos.
>There are people in this thread who have never seen Rik Mayall's reading of George's Marvelous Medicine.
>>71634276
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory too, of course.
Fucking love Roald Dahl. Seems everyone knows him as a kids writer though which is a shame because he has so many wonderfull, fucked up, twisted short stories.
>>71635567
What are you doing
>>71635608
Ah, been ages since I watched the film.
I know the film missed out some of the witch stories.

Why did Disney release a kid friendly movie while Finding Dory was only on its third weekend? They're competing with themselves

>>71633164
Nah, it's not dying. It's just falling by the wayside as the dominant art-form. And it's changing.
The internet has brought a do-it-yourself ethic to filmmaking in the last decade or so. Whether you think most of the content on youtube is good or not (it isn't), it's hard to argue that there aren't more active filmmakers having their shit seen than ever before.
On top of that, cinema, like the novel before it, used to be the dominant art-form on the planet. It was the most profitable and the most consumed. Now, vidya games have taken the crown and they're only growing more immersive and elaborate. The gap will continue to widen.
Which doesn't mean cinema is dead. The novel isn't dead and tons of people continue to read as a hobby. What's happening is that the pleb masses are moving to the next big thing, as they've always done. In the future there will still be filmmakers and there will always be curators of the art who will continue writing the history of film.
>>71635608
Hah, that's why they looked so creepy to me as a kid. Funny to think that this movie wouldn't be made today without tons of controversy.

The next century will see the demise of film as the defining creative outlet for society and there" (the sentence abruptly ends there)
>>71635767
Fuck that shit was creepy then and still is now, completely bloodless but still completely horrifying.
>>71635651
He was a good horror writer but he was the best children's author of all time (in my opinion) so it's natural his lesser known adult stories would be overshadowed
>>71635578
now THATS a movie id watch on 4th of july weekend
>>71635864
They looked creepy because they were British, not because they were men.
>>71635767
Holy shit guys, feminists are ugly, maybe even bald, don't conform to beauty standards so probably wear ugly shoes, and the witches in the movie were mean in drag. This is a prohecy; feminists and trannies are actually witches!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Fantastic Mr. Fox
The Witches
Matilda
James and the Giant Peach is weird in a positive way
I've actually liked a lot of the Dahl adaptations.
>Roald Dahl also wrote the screenplay for one of the more racist James Bond movies
Remember they were mention of werewolves and vampires in The Witches? Imagine how creepy they'd be in that universe.
Doesn't take a genius to figure out why this shit flopped. No one wants to see a movie about a giant old guy with big ears. It's that simple. I was a Dahl fanatic as a kid and The BFG is definitely one of his lamer titles.
>>71636276
I've been re-watching all the Bond films from the beginning and was blown away when I saw Dahl's name in the opening credits of YOLT. I had to look it up to make sure it was the same guy (despite it being the most distinct name on the planet).
It was always one of my favorite Connery moviesbut I've also always been slightly weeb.
this is going to be big at overseas. i live in europe most people liked trailer here at theaters.
it seems like harry potterish world with same age girl
>>71636496
I think rich Hollywood types underestimate how much of the viewing public is annoyed by vegetarians.
>>71636553
You think the BFG's vegetarianism of all things is the reason this flopped?
>>71634092

I didnt know about this movie existence until this thread tbqh
>>71636603
It was a joke. If anything I think people are sick of these animated movies that try to look too realistic, and British accents in children's movies is so 1983.
>>71635699
After a month the hype should die down.
they didn't even advertise it, no dumb mcdonalds tie ins, no commericials, no toys or ads on pizza boxes nothing
>>71633007
It was hardly marketed at all. Which is probably the reason why it flopped.
>>71633964
Nice.
>>71636410

Wow, Disney and Spielberg are the dream team. 2016 has been ruthless. Audiences seem to be getting increasingly selective about what they'll spend money on.
>>71639392
Most of /tv/ is between 18 and 25. As kids, they probably did, it's a very popular children's book.
>>71639726
And thank god for that, all these lazy sequels, adaptations, and reboots failing is amazing. I can't believe the number of bombs, it's absolutely beautiful. The only thing that could make it more perfect is if even more smaller films hit it big instead of just 10 Cloverfield Lane and a couple of the horror moves - I don't give a shit about the genre, so don't ask me names.

>>71640515
About a decade ago my gf at the time bought tickets to a live adaptation of the BFG to watch ironically on my birthday (which seemed awesome at the time and I never should have let her get away), but it actually kind of sucked.
Probably something about being on stage made it hard for them to get the creepy tone of Dahl, but it was just really not that interesting as an adult.
>>71633007
Why is he working with fucking Disney? They all but sabotaged him by releasing it too close to Finding Dory.

I went to one of the shittiest public school systems in the country and we read most of the books in elementary school.
If you're actually American it's impossible that you haven't seen Willy Wonka, so should at least know that they're not "feel good stories", their dark and morbid, and you kind of get the feeling the author hated children.

Disney (Civil War, Jungle Book, Zootopia, Finding Dory) and Fox (Deadpool) have owned this year. They both did have at least one disappointment. Alice II for Disney and Apocalypse for Fox.

Uncanny CGI doesn't sell. People think it's fucking weird. They should have learned this with Mars Needs Moms. Should have just done it animated or made the giants live action and made them look big with some sort of special effects fuckery.

It was fucking shit regardless, this has no bearing on if people dont want thought provoking or original films anymore.

This
whole thread turns into a shitfling with bookfags but in reality you look at the posters you see shitty uncanny valley CGI. you watch the commercials you see uncanny valley CGI. nobody wants to watch that shit, its unappealing

i thought it was something about butt fucking goyim. i literally have no idea what the BFG is. i haven't seen any advertisement or media coverage of it and only first heard about it yesterday. I'm usually pretty on top of current events, so if something slips under my radar I'm never surprised to hear it ended up flopping.
They keep making all these reboots/adaptations of things that people in their 30's, who probably now have kids, would have grown up with, but the kids have no clue what they are, and the parents are like, "why the fuck would you ruin something from my childhood that was already fine the way it was.
TMNT, Point Break, and Ghostbusters come to mind, but there are obviously plenty more.
Yes, i'm aware that part of it is that people in that demographic are now in charge of making movies and want to be part of the things they grew up with (see the new Muppets movie).
Films should only take place in England if it is a musical because then it's humorous how they talk. Otherwise it is just a film with people with stupid voices for no reason.

Agreed, but the irony is that when British people intentionally try to make a comedy it's seldom funny.
This shoulda been a fall or Christmas movie, not 4th Of July weekend.

Cinema manager here, all the kids are going to Finding Dory and the Secret Life of Pets right now, so shitty timing. maybe if there weren't any better kids movies on.

You're implying audiences would be interested in yet another Lord of the Rings rip off which happens to be a five years too late adaptation of a video game franchise whose lore has been retconed into an unrecongnizable state in the last decade.

Has the USA become the cinematic trash heap of the world? We make all the worst movies and we don't see them either but since all the subhumans love them its making us de facto irrelevant in the movie scene.
How long until they don't even GAF about catering to US audiences and along with rude people at theaters turns movies into a weird niche thing mostly retards and wistful elderly people trying to relive a better time try to do?
