This is going to make a ton of money because you neckbeards turned it into such an issue. Controversy sells. It's why Passion of the Christ, Brokeback Mountain, and Fahrenheit 9/11 made so much $$$$
>>71865140
Hi nigger you have to be 18 to post here
>>71865178
He's citing movies from a while back, what makes him seem 18. It's what I think too. It's all teh 25 and under that are rolling so hard about this movie to make it make cash.
You see the same publicity and post spamming for Bryan's new movie?
The Sony marketing department made it into an issue and they did their job well
>>71865140
2nd weekend box office drops are the indicators to shit. Opening weekend means nothing especially when there's a review embargo because people are going to go see it, especially with all the controversy. The 2nd weekend though if it has a huge drop then the movie is confirmed shit, no repeat viewings and no word of mouth marketing.
>>71865140
Those movies were all inherently controversial.
A light jhjhearted comedy about ghosts and the women who bust them isn't.
There is a hubub, sure, but we'll see how word of mouth treats the film. Its out today in the UK.
And remember, no China to prop it up.
>>71865466
Nah. They wouldn't have done shit if swamp chins like you didn't throw a fit, it wouldn't have even been made if you tards didn't exist.
>>71865540
oh right, this can't come out in China, can it? What with their fucking weird as shit censorship about no living dead, or ghosts.
>>71865532
In a previous thread we were looking at pre booked tickets in the UK for opening day, Friday and Saturday in Leicester square. Is London's biggest.
The highest we counted was 30.
30 fucking people.
In a cinema that easily holds a couple hundred.
>>71865599
Indeed.
>>71865623
Do tickets usually sell out at this time? There is still time.
>>71866111
Pre sales are a massive factor Hollywood banks on. This had screw all for opening night. Sure, it was a Monday, but it had screw all on any other day too. Even the weekend had the figure of 30.
Its really not promising.
One anon posted that this blockbuster on opening day was literally being shown in a screen that held 12 people. It wasn't full.
>>71866218
I see. Thanks for the info, anon.
It will not turn a profit.
Movies like this and Fant4stic will teach studios that letting your crew insult prospective watchers is bad for business.
>>71866298
Keep living in your fantasy world, neck beard.
I do not want to see heaps of female reboots. I do however want to see a sequel to this movie because well I am a big Ghostbusters fan and when I heard that Zuul is mentioned at the end credits it got me intrigued to see what they could do for the sequel.
I haven't seen this movie so I cannot judge it as a full feature but this female team has grown on me and people such as Wiig, Kate look really great judging by some clips of the trailers. I also like the idea of the origin story and showing how they all met so I am looking forward to seeing how they handle this.
Whether you want to believe the critics are being forced to write good stuff: majority who have seen it believe that the actors did a good job at being comedic and in their roles so I do still want to give this movie a chance (as well as being excited for Hemsworth's role and seeing how they handle his full on possessive transformation).
Anyway still; I do kind of hope for a Zuul sequel because this may be the last chance we ever get of seeing a Ghostbusters themed movie on screen (even though it doesn't have the original cast) but just imagine the different type of designs they could do for the ghosts (that's if Sony is able to get rid of the blue CGI effects).
The creation and idea for Rowan is something that I admire btw. I have no idea why people are hating it. The original had a giant Marshmellow man and just because this one has the Ghost logo come to life - I really respect the toy figure designs of it (too bad the CGI needs lots of fixing to make him more realistic though judging by trailers). I do wish they didn't incorporate stuff such as shooting him in the dick. Things like this is what they should have left out of the movie.
Is this even getting a Chinese release given that it has ghosts?
>>71866250
Its really beat to wait two weeks. From now. It will have opened in many international am markets but far from all, plentgy more reviews will come in and we'll be able to see the week to week drop or raise from word of mouth.
I think if of really is bad, news of that will spread from Europe and affect US openings and subsequent reviews.
Most likely though, its just average.
the second week for this will be interesting, that new animated film is going to absorb all the family money and star trek will eat the scraps left over
>>71866218
Isn't this usual for a comedy? I can't remember the last time I saw people lining up on opening night for a comedy.
>>71866352
It's released in Taiwan - an island near China
>>71866415
When is the last time you saw a $150m comedy?
>>71866298
Nah, it'll at least do that. Brand recognition will keep it out of the red.
>>71866415
GHOSTBUSTERS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A COMEDY IT'S MEANT TO BE A HORROR FILM!
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>71866415
I'd agree, but this is a comedy with supposed pedigree and massive buzz. And noboduynoboduy even interested in it at the weekend...?
That's alarm bells to me.
>>71866436
chinese censors don't have anything to do with taiwan
>>71866469
Fair enough
Has there been a comedy of any budget that didn't either flop or come in disappointing regardless of the reviews this year?
>>71866218
Is it possible to get simmilar numbers for previous films?
>>71866336
On lord, the shill is back.
>>71866501
Deadpool
>>71866528
Budget was only 58 mil.
Dont go see the new ghostbusters
>>71866359
I just want these threads to stop. I am hoping in two weeks they will be almost or all gone.
>>71866508
Probably, but my google fu isn't up to the task of finding pre booked cinema figures from the 80's. Assuming its even online.
>>71866528
I can't believe I forgot all about deadpool, remembering how much zoolander 2 bombed and how the nice guys/cia/keanu underperformed
The Interview too.
Honestly, I probably would have completely ignored this movie if not for all the autism, but now I'm legitimately curious to see how good/bad it is for myself.
>>71866475
>>71866549
>of any budget
>>71866572
No, this is going to be here for a long while. Think BvS. Except now its not just capeshit fanboys. Its capeshit fanboys, poltards and antisjws all together.
>>71866621
Yeah you're probably right.
Well shit.
>feig movie
>no rose byrne
hmm
>>71865599
And considering their reaction to TFA's trailer, having a whooping sheboon looming in front of the camera wouldn't exactly endear itself to Chinese audiences anyway.
>>71866688
Yeah, it sucks.
I can't deny it looks bad, I can't deny its another shitty remake, but it never justified the reaction it got. It will at best be average. But the frenzy surrounding it, I would expect hit to do well. But with the booked tickets looking so bad...
Its interesting to see how it unfolds I suppose, but we don't get that. We get children screaming at each other on both sides, never realising its not about the geek market or the social justice market, it's Normie's who have no stake in the online drama who will decide the fate of this.
>>71866592
>final battle is in times square for maximum advertising potential
Why does Sony keep fucking doing this? It's so goddamn blatant.
>>71866853
Its not just Sony.
>>71866336
You are the worst shitposter this board has to offer.
It wont because it won't make it to China as they don't allow ghost movies.
>>71866958
I am sorry for wanting to see a sequel
>>71866336
Nice bait. 8/8
>>71866972
Fuck off shill.
>>71866336
>paid reviews
Its more like oppressed reviews.
You read points like bland action, too much fx, chemestry not good, but than give it a 4 of 5. It feels like these critics would give Pixel a 4 of 5 if hemsworth would star in it.
Giving a better rating because a certain actor is in it is not really honest.
Critisizing the movie but giving it a better rating is more like sugar coating.
And the most here said it will be happen with the ratings.
>>71865140
>This is going to make a ton of money because you neckbeards turned it into such an issue. Controversy sells
Just like how this movie was a huge success, right?
>>71866415
>Isn't this usual for a comedy?
Problem is that it's not just a comedy, and the budget tells the tale.
The reason Feig had success earlier is that comedies have a strong bankable investment ratio; that is, they cost fuck all to make, and they generally earn decently.
The problem is that if you earn 100 mil on a 30 mil movie, you're golden, if you earn 100 mil on a 150 mil movie you won't get much work ever again.
Ghostbusters is an effect laden genre crossover at its heart, it's sci-fi/horror/comedy.
Ghostbusters 2016 cost 150 million to make, and that's not counting advertising and branding which is usually about the same.
It needs to make in the region of 300 mil to just be adequate. If it makes 400-500 mil it's a success.
The chances of that happening are slim to none.
>>71867101
There's like a 60%+ gap in scores.
>>71867101
Except this got good reviews you fucking child.
Why do you manbabies hate little girls so much?
HAHA YOU MAD LITTLE VIRGIN BOYS?
FACE IT WHITE MEN YOUR TIME IS DONE, YOUR A SPENT FORCE. I CANT WAIT FOR MORE FEMALE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBOOTS (HAHA GET IT). NOW IRONMAN IS A WOMAN, I CANT WAIT FOR BATMAN TO BE CHANGED TO, AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU VIRGINS CAN DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE YOU WOULD SELL ALL OF YOUR ANIME FIGURINES JUST TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO LICK A GIRL'S BUTTHOLE.
I'M GOING TO SEE THIS NEW GHOSTBUSTERS TWICE OR EVEN THRICE WITH MY HUSBAND LARRY AND OUR FRIEND JAMAL THEN ME AND JAMAL WILL CELEBRATE AT A HOTEL ROOM WHILST WE LAUGH ABOUT HOW PATHETIC YOU ALL ARE.
>>71867273
You're not wrong, but then so did BvS early on. Critics aren't objective, and if bad word of mouth, we can expect to see a massive drop in sales.
This fella>>71867203
Makes a good point. It needs to make a lot of money back, and if its just average, I can't see it doing so.
I'm not saying it should have pandered to nerds, but maybe deliberately attacking them for cheap publicity wasn't a smart move when your film needs all the help it can get.
>>71867329
>You're not wrong, but then so did BvS early on
No it didn't it started at 30%
>>71865140
>Generally like Paul Feigg's work
>Liked the Heat
>Loved the Spy
>Ghostbusters is 76% on RT
>I'm not sure if its actually a good movie, or just the anti-hate brigade keeps upvoting.
Anyway, probably the only time I considered the "Top Critics" % too be more understandable than all the critics. 50% seems fine

>>71867321
>WITH MY HUSBAND LARRY AND OUR FRIEND JAMAL
lol
well done
>>71865140
It's gonna make even more money now that it turns out to be a perfectly fine movie and the haters go see it out of curiosity.
At least I thought it was pretty good. Obviously not perfect, but still very entertaining. I'm so glad I stayed far away from the ''''controversy'''' and I don't have to waste my time acting like I'm outraged about my childhood and life being ruined by this movie.
>>71867288
Only if the girl is balding like a 40 year old man.
Just kidding.
We just like to have a good film rather than giving her a mediocre movie she thinks is super.
And feminist-wash a film while the film or the company in itself doesnt live up to more women in the biz.
Its like Disney would make a film about shop labour empowerment and fair paying.
>>71865140
I agree, it's neither good nor bad enough to deserve the amount of attention it got.
it's just another industrially manufactured movie with mediocre actors and an indifferent director
>>71867288
I just don't understand why little girls and boys can't have heroes from movies and TV that are of the opposite gender. So many feminists complain about gender roles, yet this shit happens constantly about females not getting represented by just swapping the genders and having them do girl stuff. As a kid, I really liked the Powerpuff Girls, but I never once thought they needed a Rowdyruff Boys spinoff where they do the same shit but are boys. Can't kids just have heroes of whoever they want, regardless of fucking gender?
>>71867614
Because little boys don't admire women.
>As a kid, I really liked the Powerpuff Girls
PPG are cartoon characters and look nothing like human beings.

The "misogynistic manchild" bogeyman doesn't exist. The controversy around Ghostbusters (2016) was artificial. It's a proven formula by this point, it's the new normal.
>>71867525
Nice try, shill.
It's going to bomb.
>>71867742
This. Keep in mind, the most vile, woman hating misognyst the media could find to support their narrative was James fucking Rofle.

And they'll pull the switcheroo so some other movie gets the money.
Theaters don't care.
Talked my family (5 people +4 or so friends) out of seeing it.
What have you guys done to make sure it flops?

Look at these pathetic losers trying to votebomb it/

The Sony marketing campaign made a controversy out of it. I don't think you should feel too proud and validated for falling for it like the sucker you are.
I'm sure it'll get historically good ratings, on the level of Citizen Kane. Can't have angry feminists demanding your blood for criticizing it.

Yeah, they're exactly the same situation.
>>71868751
Taiwan is barely a country
>>71866453
Except in this case brand recognition is actually hurting it.
People that love the franchise are some of the most vocal detractors to this abortion of a reboot.
Basically, the only people even remotely positive about his film are hard-core Feminists and the goofy white-knights that orbit them. Somehow I doubt there's enough of them to equal box-office success.
>>71865140
Those are award winning movies.
It's a good movie. Only sexist neckbeards would hate on it.
>>71867614
Because that's not how women think.
Women don't want things of their own. They want you to change your things to cater to them.
>>71868026
Nothing.
I'm not friends with the kind of people that would be interested in that movie. As soon as my wife heard they were rebooting Ghostbusters with an all-female cast she said, "That's fucking stupid. Why would they do that."
That's what you get when you steer clear of psychotic feminists and their bullshit agendas: a normal wife.
>>71868684
If nobody had objected they'd just have found some other way to shove the movie in our faces and claim we were obligated to see it to show muh progressiveness.
>>71868822
>Wasting 12 dollars per person on a really shitty movie just to be a contrarian.
You're the exact person that Sony Marketing was banking on. You're not going to save the movie, but you will make its failure sting a bit less.
