Why did it do so poorly at the box office?

Why did it do so poorly at the box office?
>>
nice guys finish last

It wasn't an 'event'

People only go to the movies anymore to see something all their friends are going to see. They don't want a good movie, they want a shared experience.
>>

HEYOOO.

But seriously OP, I have no idea. It's my favorite movie of the year so far, one of the funniest I've seen in long, long time.

>they're fighting over the revolver on the balcony
>it goes off and kills the guy on stilts in the backyard

>'Thanks, buddy!'
>'HEY. How'd you know my name's Buddy?'

Just about died at these parts.

It didn't have big Hollywood branding to go with it.
>>
>>71857791
It had a limited release and a below average marketing campain. But I feel like this is the kind of movie that would do very well on netflix.

>Hey anon, check out this hilarious Ryan Gosling movie I discovered on Netflix!

You should've seen it in theatres and supported it, FUCK YOOOUUUUUU.
>>
>>71857828
Nice.
>>
>>71857791

I dunno, buddy cop movies rely on the chemistry between the two leads and the last few recent buddy cop movies have been severely lacking to say the least. Perhaps people were unsure if Gosling and Crowe would make it work this time around.

I personally loved it, and while I liked all the performances, Gosling completely made the movie for me.

>>71857791
It came out alongside capeshit so retards decided they no longer enjoy original ideas and instead prefer rehashed garbage
>>
>>71857791
The target audience is adult men who are too busy doing shit to go to the theaters.
>>
>>71858130
ehh
the biz is changing
>>
>no good rip yet
>>
>>71858167
I had no idea Gosling had that kind of comedic timing.

>"You're the worst detective in the world!"
>"The WHOLE world?"
>"Yeah, the WHOLE WORLD."
>"...got a cool ad, though."
>>
>>71858278
I'm OK with that, it's just these normies that are gonna act like they discovered some hidden gem, you just know it's gonna happen.

For some reason this evokes an autistic rage inside of me.

ITT: fedora underages that think they have it all figured out.

It was released alongside a pretty large amount of capeshit, there was no chance of it being able to compete
>>
Loved this movie. I would definitely buy it
>>
>>71857791
Dunno, but it was amazing(the film was like kiss kiss bang bang 2) and I want to see it again
The only kind of weird thing was when the daughter of ryan gosling joked about giving her dad a rimjob
>>
>>71858397
no u
>>
>>71857791
It looks same as man from U.N.C.L.E., and it did same at BO.
I gueas there is no place for comedy movies about two white guys that fuck shit up.
It is over, SJW won.
>>
>>71857791
Crowe is doing a better Gervais than gervais

Gosling is really banking on his funny squeeling screams


ALSO

Why did the little girl tell Crowe she had a cop friend who liked Gosling?
>>
I didn't even know it was already out.
>>
>>71860625
I'M JACKED TO THE TITS!!!!!

>Why did the little girl tell Crowe she had a cop friend who liked Gosling?
i didn't get that either

"maybe he should marry him". She storms off. What?
>>
>>71857791
because it wasn't capeshit
>>
>>71860473
>meanwhile tacky capeshit rakes in money hand over fist
Nah, it's just not in style anymore. Also for me, I don't like movies set in LA cause they always feel a little masturbatory and insular. I don't live in LA, I don't have any kind of appreciation or understanding of LA or Hollywood life, films that focus on it are not interesting to me even a little.
>>
>>71861463
I didn't realize good movies weren't in style anymore. and anyone who can't enjoy a movie becase of the setting its in is a fucking idiot
>>
>>71858119
why do you keep posting these shitty fucking videos in every thread
>>
>>71857791
nobody wants to pay for a $40 movie ticket just to see a comedy on a big screen.
will wait for the home release.
>>
>>71861535
why do you keep posting in this shitty fucking thread on this shitty fucking board?
>>
>>71857791
nobody likes nice guys

>>71861515
not him, but the overall "oh it's so crazy and degenerate but you know..." is a bit tiring. There was barely any difference between what's shown here and KKBB.

They could have made it more like a coherent Inherent Vice - manson hippies, jews, rougher cops, poor blacks, new money blacks, LA confidential.

It was nice, but I can relate to the "oh god this LA again"
>>
>>71861563
in my opinion its a solid date movie
>>
>>71861591
>sex scenes
>murder
>men being friends

Finding dory is a date film
>>
Saw it in the last week it was showing in my town, and a ton of people showed up

We all enjoyed it, so I think they should have marketed it better? I don't know.
>>
>>71861619
guess Im in the minority.
If I went on a date and she recommended finding dory Id be back on tinder during the film
>>
>>71860718
What did he mean by this
>>
>>71861657
>tindr

Into the trash

>>71861699
I mean grinder

WHY THE FUCK WERE THEY TAKING BASINGER'S MONEY TO PLACE X FOR REASON Y WHEN THEY'RE SUSPICIOUS OF HER?
>>
>>71860625
>Why did the little girl tell Crowe she had a cop friend who liked Gosling?

So if anything really bad happened to him his good cop friend would bust Crowe's ass.
>>
>>71858310
>The young porno actress.
> hey now! Lady...Porno young lady.

> Dad, there's whores here and stuff
> now, don't say and stuff. Just say: There's whores here.

>>71857828
I figured this was the point of the thread
>>
>>71860349
RIMSHOT!
>>
>>71861759
Wow never even thought of that, she seemed to trust Crowe from the start
>>
>>71861738
THEY'RE IDIOTS

>>
>>71857905
