kek the numbers went down again
was almost 50 million at 4 friday and it was 45 million at 1am saturday
>Yes, that three-day is a record for director Paul Feig and star Melissa McCarthy (easily beating the $39.1M opening of their B.O. high The Heat), however, considering what Ghostbusters cost at $144M after rebates (and before an estimated $100M-plus global P&A), a number of rival sources consider anything in the $40M range to be a mediocre start for this reboot. Anything north of $50M is ideally safer.

Will he make a reunion season for freaks and geeks now
http://www.vulture.com/2016/07/paul-feig-ghostbusters-reboot-c-v-r.html
and remember!!
As opening day approaches, Feig can’t help but think about the stakes of making a $150 million movie. “A movie like this has to at least get to like $500 million worldwide, and that’s probably low,” he says. “But the thing I care about most is the industry looking for an excuse to say, ‘See, a tentpole can’t be carried by female leads’” — three of whom are over 40. “I cashed in all my chips,” he says. “I had to use every chip to make this happen. And if this doesn’t work, I will probably have to go back to movie jail.”
the real killer will be the second week drop
>>72051126
Who the fuck watched the heat?
why does this faggot keep shoving his disgusting fat ass wife into movies
>>72051128
i can't fucking wait
An all female cast could have worked if they approached it the right way and weren't completely fucking obnoxious about it.
The main cast could have had their daughters or grand daughters take over the family business or some shit. Make it a movie about passing the torch.
Instead the marketing has been completely centered about "WE'RE WOMEN! WE'RE STRONG! SEE MEN! :^ )"
china will save it you sexist fucks
>>72051126
>A movie like this has to at least get to like $500 million worldwide
Must be all the extra $350 million for marketing

>I don't know how the box office works
>I think studios get 100% back
>>72051278
Last I checked Ghostbusters 2016 will not be in China at all. Depending on what you read/listen to, it's either because the movie is too sacrilegious with its treatment of the dead, China just wants to screw with Sony, or China has a hard limit on foreign movies entering their country per year and chose this one to exclude.
>>72051278
China has cultural taboos against stuff related to the dead. Remember how all the skeletons were removed from the Chinese release of WoW?
>>72051317
It's more than likely a three way win win for China.
They get to keep religious bullshit out of their theaters; shit on the nips who raped their grandparents; and don't have to waste one of their slots on a shitty western movie
has anybody actually seen the china box office this year?
yeah this is good money for a foreign market but only warcraft was saved by China
>>72051409
>cultural
Political. Commies dont want people to believe in afterlife.

A reminder that studios only get 25% of cash made in China.
>>72051273
Honestly it's probably more bad timing than anything. I don't think the people they alienated are truly enough to bust the box office, if they had an area of weak competition they could've squeaked out a profit. But in this they're probably going to get the backhand of Pets, then they're going to get the full brunt of Star Trek and Ice Age. I mean mediocre blockbusters that alienate oldschool fanboys have done well before, so I don't see them being any worse for wear here. Only real issue is they pushed the propaganda angle hard, and China only likes THEIR propaganda.
>>72051317
They didn't even bother applying to show in China - they knew there was no way around the ghost thing in this one
>>72051108
Netflix should pick it up. They did Wet Hot American Summer reunion
This is the shittiest opening weekend for movies I've seen in a long time.
>>72051297
>Marketing is free and companies take 100% of the box office sales
Glad to have you here to help us out anon.
>>72051477
From that list, it looks like it saved apocalypse from embarrassment, outright guaranteed a third now you see me movie(it opened to 40m+, twice the us opening) and gave a good chunk of change to the revenant, independence day, angry birds, jungle book, civil war, zootopia and a few other movies that didn't make that list like american ultra
>>72051521
>China
>only 25%
>>72051542

On another note, good. Nobody else is casting McCarthys fat ass
>>72051088
Wouldn't 44.5m be an enormous flop given that budget? Mediocre sounds very generous.
There's no way this breaks 10m any weekend beyond opening.

star trek(which is getting good social media buzz) and suicide squad(most talked about movie on social media this year and tracking for over $120m)) not long afterwards, this movie wont even have a month to take in money before being removed so there's enough screens for suicide squad
>>72051567
China set a hard cap of 25% by law.

Do Chinese people not know they all have skellingtons?
>>72051521
but the Chinese banned Ghostbusters
>>72051647
the first chink film to hit $500m domestic there, would have boosted chinas box office to have been bigger than americas in the first half of the year if bvs, civil war and deadpool all hadn't come out so close to each other
>>72051481
cultural too, even their traditional version of ghosts, jiangshi, are more like zombies than actual ghosts
>>72051647
Simon Chow film. Its meant to be great.
>>72051278
kek
Studios only receive a small percentage of what their films make in China, China doesn't care about films starring white and black women and what's more the fucking thing will probably be denied screening in China.
>>72051616
depends on the multiplier ghostbusters ends up happening and the 2nd week drop
garbage like tammy had a 3.9x multiplier
>Bridesmaids (6.5x), The Heat (4x), Tammy (3.9x), and Spy (3.8M)
that means opening weekend # x 6.5 or 4 or 3.9 or 3.8
so if this opens up at 44.5 million and gets a 3.5 multiplier that = 155 million domestic
>>72051491

>>72051317

>>72051584
China's law prohibiting depictions of stuff related to cults/ghosts/whatever isn't why they turned it down. Their official explanation was just that they didn't think Chinese audiences would be interested by it because the first two Ghostbusters never came to China either and they didn't see Chinese audiences liking this one. They could've blamed it on ghosts, but instead they just came out and said it had zero appeal to the Chinese.
It won't be a bomb that can't cover the cost of the budget, but will it realistically even reach 225 million?

It is rare for any movie that makes this much to gross even 200 million. This kind of opening is indicative of movies that have 50 million budgets and gross around 120 million total after 10 years

>>72051991
It probably won't "fail", but it's not because of the agenda. If anything, women are going to make an effort to go see it because of that. It'll fail because there's ZERO reason for it to exist and nobody asked for it.
>>72052035
That shit was the worst in the series, and the series is pretty bad to begin with.
>>72052036
the biggest problem is that ghostbusters isn't a beloved brand in europe or asia like it is in america, so with no star power to back it up besides hemsworth who keeps finding himself in flops it doesn't have anything going for it

With the domestic tracking so low, and China bailing on it, I really don't see a market in which this movie can be "saved."
Given the % they get overseas, this movie needed to be massive at the domestic box office, and it's just no gonna happen.
>>72052082
Did they put Hemsworth in the film to pander to Marvel fans or is he just there to say that there's a male character?

>>72052130
He's in the movie because of name recognition and because he's hot. It's funny, but depending on which site you go to Hemsworth's name is actually the first to come up on the cast list.

Women who really cared about the GURLPOWUR thing already went on the premier. Nobody besides these persons wanted this movie to be made. It would've been more successful if it was a weed movie. Like, they should've scrapped the 3D weed movie they were doing and put the main actors in the new Ghostbuster. THAT would've made them at least $150M on opening night.

>>72051522
If anything it was terrible marketing. Telling people a movie is good because it has girls doesn't sell. Releasing trailers focused on terrible jokes instead of ghost busting probably alienated most people.
Compare it with the marketing of Robocop. They didn't talk shit about the fans of the original nor they didn't release trailers with no direction at all. It wasn't a great movie but they still made an effort.
>>72051108
I thought it was apatow
>>72052173
Ever since the first trailer was released they've been pushing him as one of the main cast
>>72052060

That's because women don't want to see Ghostbusters, generally.
I mean, okay, there are some women who do have masculine tastes in films and they like stuff like Ghostbusters and Predator and shit, but in general women like romantic movies or something.
Again, not all women, but it is definitely a trend.
It's the same the other way around; there are some dudes who like shit like The Notebook and 50 Shades of Gray, but, again, not most of them.
They're doing two things wrong here: appealing against the grain, and actively shunning the actual target demographic.

You know, the second trailer wasn't so bad. I'd be willing to see this movie if the director, cast, and whole marketing team hadn't been so smug about putting women in the movie. This whole thing with James just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'd see the stupid movie, but they turned going to see a dumb comedy into an ideological battle. I have no choice but to fight. I will not see the movie, and I can't in good conscience hope it does well.

No, it definitely would have made more, because fans wouldn't have been alienated and people probably wouldn't have actively avoided it if the "controversy" wasn't there.

If you had half a brain, you'd realize that all of the "SJW"/gender/race crap bledover from fucking /v/, because they have a hardon for such a thing.
More cartoon stuff bleed over also due to /v/. You'd see this started mostly in 2014; more accidental /v/ crossposting, more intentional crossposting, more "what if __ was a movie" or "warcraft/etc" that are coming up.
/sp/ moved in here in 2012; as early as 2011ish due to Big Brother threads "outlawed" due to "poor mean /sp/ mods" that numerous posted have admitted (back then, not now, before revisionist history newfriends attempt to dissuade), and never left. They use memes to the extreme;, this is their Facebook, they don't care if they piss and shit in the same place they eat.
That's why you see half of this board is spam, also the moderation simply cannot keep up with the massive amount of spam unless you actually send reports. Even then, there seems to be some sort of favoritism with this "fourth round" of moderation (for /tv/, since its inception). They delete shit that should be deleted asap (cunny shit, shrek/just/bane [which took forever for them to get on too, the latter memes]), but some things take an awfully long time to delete, like /sp/ blacked threads.
Stay new.

/v/edditor shit started appearing in 2014; MUH SJW! MUH WHAT IS THE ___ OF TV/MOVIES?! MY VIDEOGAME MOVIES! MY MISPOSTING! Also you're seeing more and more capeshit; /v/ /co/ and /mu/ are mostly related by their demographic and prone to be attracted to underage as well.
Moderators for /tv/ have been shit since 2012, with the great tripfag purge of 2013 pretty much banning or making them all leave due to harassment, even on different boards.
Since __2013__, statistics:
THERE HAS BEEN AT LEAST ///5 PAGES/// OF THREADS THAT CONSIST of --LESS THAN 14 REPLIES--.
This board is pure spam, & in those 5 pages consist of 3 pages with <6 replies, mostly outdated/shitty new forced memes or outright bait.
All of this can be proven by simple searches on the 4plebs archives.

How was the Murray scene? Did he look like his family were being held hostage?
>>72052761
>>72052942
Every board, and I mean EVERY board has a crossover boogyman. The issue isn't crossposting, it's just that 4chan is full of shitposters no matter what board you're on.
The only real difference is the speed of the board, so /b/ /v/ /r9k/ and /pol/ are the worst offenders by casual glance, but per capita they're no worse than any other board.
Instead of passing the blame, accept that 4chan has always been this way. You clearly don't care enough to leave, so your only choice is to wade through the shit to get to the posts you want.

We're here.
>>72053025
I'm not denying crossposting exists, but you're making such a lazy assumption.
You don't like /v/ for instance, /v/ posters admit to being on /tv/, you see shitposting on /tv/ and so you assume it's all because of /v/
The average 4chan user is fine for most part, the average 4chan poster on the other hand is a shitposter who is trying to be cool, regardless of whatever board they haunt the most.
Now can you people stop sucking the snobby dick of Rotten Tomatoes? They actually like this movie.
I keep telling you, movies that are great bomb on Rotten Tomatoes. Movies that are boring or suck ass always do well on Rotten Tomatoes.
Rotten Tomatoes is nothing more than a bunch of snobby old fucks who hate anything fun.
Also, this movie is legit one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life.

If you adjust for inflation, Ghostbusters 84 cost 69 million in today's money. That is a perfectly reasonable budget for this film. 144 million is ridiculous.
>>72052712
This. The game could stand to have been debugged a touch more, but it's wonderful. The story's good, it's actually funny, and the world is there. All the information about all the ghosts from Tobin's Spirit Guide, the haunted items, it's SO good.

Dan Ackroyd and Harold Ramis wrote it.
From Variety:
http://variety.com/2016/film/news/box-office-ghostbusters-secret-life-of-pets-2-1201815841/
Sony noted that it represented the biggest live-action opening since Fox’s “X-Men: Apocalypse” two months ago and the second-highest live-action non-superhero film of the year behind Disney’s “The Jungle Book.”
Why aren't you seeing the movie with the second biggest opening for a live action non-superhero movie so far this year, anons?
Seriously, you could start a circus with the amount of hoops Sony is jumping through to justify this opening.
So, what will all those shills and outlets say now that GB reboot is kill at the Box Office?
Blame the neck beard nerds--who they've been saying were irrelevant for over a year--for the failure?
>>72053290
How are we supposed to talk about things you like anon. None of us of even HEARD of the stuff that you like, you're just that cool.

All of these movies look six hours long and full of sad people.
So can someone tell me why Sony thought antagonizing GB fans was a good marketing tactic?
Did they really think appealing to the SJW mindset would bring in enough new viewers to offset the loss from traditional GB fans?
>>72052329
I think I'm 2007 but I might have been 2006.
I remember leaving for a while during Project Chanology. It's hard to put a date on anything else.

>>72053662
The thought that would attract women to see the movie, since there are more women than men, ditching men if favor of women seemed like a good idea.
Let´s call things what they are: feminists are man haters, and they would support anything that makes men look bad.
The problem is, the vast majority of women are (thankfully) not feminists, even if feminists want to think otherwise.
>>72053866

Leslie Jones, by far. She's 6'1. A giant among women.

Paul Feig, the shit he produced is the reason this thread exists after all.

He said out of the "female" ghostbusters, ain't no way in hell Leslie is a woman, that's a dude with a dude's name.

Leslie Jones is 100% Bull Dyke. There's no way she's hetero.
>>72053866
Why they fuck would they think women would be interested in GB? GB has always be a male dominated IP. It was male fans that kept interest in the IP alive for over 30 years.
Maybe I'm wrong and there's a vast swath of female GB fans that remains untapped, but I doubt it.

Did the CGI battle at the end really cost that much?

Catering.

CGI is insanely stupidly expensive. 80's style effects cost less, BUT they take more time. They want to wrap up filming as fast as possible with little delays.
final number will be in 35 to 40 range.

>CGI is insanely stupidly expensive. 80's style effects cost less, BUT they take more time.
Nope. CGI is cheaper when it done properly, enough time to keep team reasonably small and get things done by the book. The problem is often rushed production, that requires more workforce and usually leads to inconsistent results and raising costs.
>>72052556
>I'd be willing to see this movie if the director, cast, and whole marketing team hadn't been so smug about putting women in the movie. This whole thing with James just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'd see the stupid movie, but they turned going to see a dumb comedy into an ideological battle
You dumb misogynerd!
Don't you see? The point of reviving an old established movie is that you take a massive dump on the pre-existing fanbase. That's what makes it such a good investment.
You take all that goodwill and built up hype and then you put your thumbs in the eyes of anyone that's excited about it and say "YOU FUCKING SUCK I HATE YOU YOU ARE EVERYTHING WRONG WITH THE WORLD, NOW WATCH THIS MOVIE". That way you just get free money, you dig?
Fucking retards on /tv/ think they know better than seasoned CEOs of major corporations. Ha!

HURRR
IF IT GETS 500M WORLDWIDE, THE STUDIO ONLY TAKES HOME 250M
BUDGET IS 150, MARKETING IS 150
EVEN IF IT GETS 500M IT WILL HAVE LOST SONY 50 MILLION
BUT ITS NOT GOING TO GET ANYWHERE NEAR 500M :^)
SONY IS GETTING RAPED ON THIS ONE, AND ITS ENTIRELY THEIR FAULT SINCE GHOSTBUSTERS COULD BE A VERY PROFITABLE PROPERTY WITHOUT THEIR IDIOTIC DECISIONS
SJW AGENDA PUSHERS LITERALLY ON SUICIDE WATCH

They can still save the movie.
Put a 30 minute sex scene between Kristen Wiig and Kate McKinnon (without the problem hair) in the bluray version.

Feels Good!!!
What was even the point of this movie.
It's clear that Sony (or any other company for that matter) doesn't give a fuck about feminism and only did the whole gurrl power thing to attract more potential audience but surely they must have known even then that pandering to feminists is not profitable in the slightest. As bad as Pixel was at least Sandler knew how to choose his audience.
If the movie was a cashgrab (which it was) why would they spend so much money on it, it's insane that they spent 150 million dollars without counting the marketing and expected some kind of return.

Since Ghostbusters has always had a small business difficulties theme, I think the smart approach would be that its 20 years layer and Ghostbusting is a large franchise. Instead of the EPA being in the way, it could be a now very corporate HQ. The idea being that the company lost it's soul.
You could make a lot of pottery that way.

gf of mine went with me to the movie, only 6 people on theatre and 4 of them were obese women, not joking
we left early, i think its on the scene where they brag about how they're saving the world or something, was annoying as hell.
we saw some of those women leave early too minutes after us, no one stayed for the whole movie, it was that bad
