>Budget $144 million
>Box office $17.2 million
really makes you think
>>72052789
is this true?
You can see the managements mind process with this film so clearly.
They knew China would ban it so it had to be a massive audience pull in the western territories. Their mindset was that men would go see it no matter what (like with star wars) and that if they made it a feminist movie, all the women would go see it too and that would double the audience. They even put a "hunk" in it for added lure to women.
In the end not only did they turn off all the men from seeing it but the women didn't go either.
This is an utter fail, mainly from the PR after the fact. I hope the director never works on anything other than tiny budget movies again.
it's cool how pushing box office numbers to dazzle audiences with big numbers was a way for hollywood studios to further market their movies & generate buzz, and now every educated Kinohead follows this pattern like they are some market insiders tapping into meaningful data
>another ghostbusters thread by a redditor pretending to be /tv/
No this really makes you think
>>72053002
>mainly from the PR after the fact
Nah, the emails have shown it was a failure from conception. This is hopefully the end of Amy Pascal. She's literally shit the bed by forcing a feminist agenda instead of trying to make good movies with women in them.
I mean does it really deserve to bomb that much? Just the movie on its own ignoring the advertising campaign of insulting everyone.
Seems like a fairly inoffensive movie.
>>72053130
>Seems like a fairly inoffensive movie.
Then who cares if it bombs or not

How is it not meaningful data when determining success.
>>72052789

>>72053158

>>72053517
As a gamer (don't tell /tv/) I stopped caring about games journalism a long time before this whole shit went down.
Not saying "both sides are equally wrong" or something like that but it got embarrassing from all sides pretty fast.
>>72053130
>I mean does it really deserve to bomb that much?
Kind of a loaded question. Because people would have to see it in order for it to be successful.
There have been other really great movies this year that bombed at the box office, they didn't deserve to bomb, but thats the nature of cinema these days.
The question should be, "Does the movie deserve so much hate?" No, it's just a movie and after a month no one will care.
But, from another perspective. IMO, they didn't try and make a good movie they specifically made a movie with all women to make a SJW feminist statement. (leaked emails corroborate this sentiment)
So fuck them and their agenda. They should've just made a true sequel to GB.
>>72053394
some pink haired slut fucked around with a swarthy INTJ nerd who unleashed his katana of revenge by recruiting half of internet's sadbrains to work as his vice cops. then for some reason the conservative think tank behind america's war on iraq got involved to defend gamers from feminism

>Profits don't matter to a business
This is possibly the most fucking clueless post I've ever read on /tv/. That is seriously saying something. Studios don't spend almost $300 million and not expect box office returns.
>>72053594
>they didn't try and make a good movie they specifically made a movie with all women to make a SJW feminist statement
Did they or was that just how the movie was marketed?

>>72053535
> 51-144= -93
>>72053350
No really, where are the international numbers?
>>72053709
Pretty much. Problem with the industry, from their POV, is that they simply cannot understand the creative process and put it into tangible metrics. Basically, they cannot pinpoint exactly why movie A did so well so they can copy it in the future. Failed box office figures are merely a consequence of this.
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?
>>72053611
do you understand that there are places and markets outside of film theater where you can sell your product, especially now, and most of the films profit comes from there?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Aside from merchandising, which won't be significant for Ghostbusters, box office gross is still well and truly where the most significant portion of a film's profits come from.
DVD isn't the crutch for underperforming films it once was, streaming services purchase films on rights in bulk, rental entities have never been in such little quantity and no high budget film is going to recoup major losses off the back of a dismal box office.
Explain to me the outside markets where "especially now, and most of the films profit comes from."

>>72053632
Yes, the emails proved Feig and Pascal strong armed Reitman out of any creative control or input who wanted a mixed cast and to be a proper sequel.
Feig and Pascal called for an all women cast with women scientists to be the leads.
Then they scrapped everything from Reitman.
>>72054132
In theory Thiel could have used his money to drag the case out forever to slowly bleed Gawker but it ended up just not mattering. The reduction in ad revenues meant Gawker couldn't afford the good lawyers that would tell them not to act like sarcastic twats and make child porn jokes in court.

Did he say anything good about it?
>>72053002
Women don't watch movies on their own unless its romantic comedies and even in that case most of the sales come from couples.
Most other succesful movies are men liking them and then women wanting to fit into the trend. Making a non romantic comedy geared towards women is always a guaranteed blunder.
>>72055990
They probably should have shown Chris Hemsworth shirtless and wet in the commercials to pull in the women
>>72055979
Put it this way, he gave it a two out of ten.
It was a rant with a critical edge, the spoiler free is a better review, but if you really want to know how bad it was, you need the spoiler review. It tells ypou everything you need.
I think the only positive he had to say was that there were two laughs in the film and the visuals were in parts OK.

They all really hated it. Now granted they seemed to hate it more because they wanted GB3. But at the end of the day, their criticisms of this film stand regardless of the original. Its not bad because the original exists, its just bad.
>>72053535
That's because it opened against fucking nothing. Next week there's Star Trek and after that a new Bourne movie. GB will be lucky if they can make their own money back in that time.
Shame on men for destroying the Ghostbusters franchise just because they hate women.
>>72053394
4chan and twitter were having lulz over an indie game developer cum dumpster fucking one of their "favorite" game journalists for a website that was giving her a suspiciously large amount of press. Said website responded to the accusations of conflicting interests by declaring war on the gaming community, in collaboration with a bunch of other websites. What followed was a year of drama, shitflinging and witch hunts, which ultimately ended when the culture war shifted to a larger playing field.
Also, Hulk Hogan made the website at the center of the controversy his bitch when they posted a sex tape of him that was recorded without his consent, and refused a court order to take it down. He successfully sued them for $100 million and now they're going out of business. Karma hit them like a freight train of pain.
>>72056721
The fault falls squarely on Sony's shoulders.
Even if China was in play, the idea a Ghostbusters film needs to do well beyond 500 million worldwide to break even is atrocious.
>>72056784
>He successfully sued them for $100 million and now they're going out of business. Karma hit them like a freight train of pain.
IGN bought Kotaku.
17.2 million in a DAY, a 50ish million dollar opening weekend.
Wont be a major success, but will likely turn a profit.
>>72053350
Because they are so godawful they don't want to publish them. Honestly it'll make a fraction internationally then what its going to make domestically and its going to do bad domestically. Only fat american tumblr fucks are going to watch, everyone else is just disgusted by this whole movie.
>>72056857
You think it's gonna make 500 million?
>>72056832
Which is more or less a death sentence for the website. They are basically just auditioning their "talent" to see who is worth moving over to IGN, and who goes to the unemployment line. Kotaku's readership and ad revenue have plummeted over the last 2 years, and their name is mostly associated with sensationalist moral panic click bait.
>>72056857
You know what else had a 50 million dollar opening? Green Lantern.
>>72056857
Thats not how the box office works.
There is 0% chance Sony turns a profit on GB's at this point.

Not really
I'm not even really a fan of Ghostbusters but I really want the movie to fail miserably because of the way Sony and Paul Fag have responded to the negative feedback. They deserve it, plain and simple. Also if it prevents such gender-reversal remakes being made in the future that's a nice bonus
>>72057032
Kleptokek is a roach. You can't kill him. I guarantee you that most of the people at IGN hate him but they can't fire him just for being an insufferable mancunt. He is quite possibly the single most hated person in the entire gaming press, and he's got no shortage of enemies within the gaming press.

Feminist are getting desperate.
>>72057112
Merch sales aren't a factor in film production costs marketing. They could make a billion dollars in toy sales, but still come up short at the box office.
Losing out to Secret Light of Pets was something we expected, but it's gonna drop heavily next week with Star Trek and Ice Age coming out. China pulling out, and the low % of return they make overseas means it needed to be big here, and there really isn't a scenario in which GB's makes it.

It is their fault for making it a reboot and in a world where the original Ghostbusters team never existed... this is why I dont get all the cameos from the old and the Ramis bust... of course they did this to pander the old fans but then Feig should have known from the beginning that the old fans are going to hate the idea of a remake (the women are not the problem. They could have easily made the women the daughters of the old Ghostbusters and even have the old Ghostbusters die and it being very emotional where the females then take over. THAT would have been way better than this).

>>72057939
I've thought the same thing.
See, the studios think that they could expand the audience by adding women. But in reality they subtracted it.
Girls and women don't like action films.
Kids in general don't really care about Ghost busters.
Men and boys don't like "chick flicks".

Look at Feig's previous films. They were all at that level. The budgets made sense. 30-65 million budgets, aiming for 200-350 box office.
That is exactly the same level of budget they should have aimed at.
For Deadpool, never saw the film. Regardless of the quality of it, it LOOKS like a professional big budget film. Costs 60 mil, ubt looks as good as those 200 million films.

A few factors play into it. Cheap tickets and low entertainment competition in that decade (Movies, driving fast, sports, or boozing), The biggest factor is the writing, and that's ALL the griping I hear from the harsh reviews.

Thing is, all films now have to cost 60-200 million dollars. Look at the budget at a lot of those 80's masculine films. They were pretty cheap small films. Predator cost 15-18 million. These films were based on mostly male audiences. But if you increase the budget, you need to expand the audience. So you need to make it PG-13 and add women, and water it down.
Macho male only films don't exist or work in today's hollywood.
>>72058506
It's pretty good. Not my favorite. I re-watched it and it did make me laugh at a few times. The jokes are mostly dialogue and character interactions rather than slapstick or physical comedy.

Its pretty close to moderately successful movies as far 1 day goes.

This is Hollywood insulation at its finest. They think the populace in L.A. is representative of the rest of the country. The rest of the country is nothing like LA, let alone foreign markets.

It seems almost like some kind of false flag.
As if Sony utterly abhorred Ghostbusters for whatever reason and sabotaged the franchise by making an abomination of a reboot to the point where no one will ever watch another ghostbusters movie again.
>>72058962
The new Star Trek flicks are terrible.
But they're also more popular than they have any right to be. To suggest otherwise is pure delusion.
>>72059291
probably 2 things at work here
1. movie companies always say their movie cost way more to make than it really did, for tax purposes and other bullshit...they didnt lose their money totally or investors would never finance movies, its some jewish legal bs but yeah
2. marketing is such a huge cost, i mean look how many reviewers are literally shilling for this movie, how much of the facebook tier clickbait feminist garbage is bought and paid for thats probably some millions right dere

>Seems like a fairly inoffensive movie.
It's taking a classic, beloved movie franchise, rebooting it with a bunch of Kevin James-tier hack actresses.
Then they marketed it by calling anyone who didn't like it "sexist".
It's about as "offensive" to the average movie consumer as it could POSSIBLY be.

Basically some twatty SJW girl with no real talent named Zoe Quinn created a indie Flash game called Depression Quest. It sucked, but it somehow got shout-outs on a few gaming websites and even uploaded for download on Steam. A lot of people thought it was extremely out of place and not up to even Steam's admittedly lenient standards.
A little while later, Zoe Quinn's ex-boyfriend goes public with news that Zoe admitted to him not only was she cheating on him, but cheating on him with five separate people on him.
These 5 people turned out to be owners of moderately-trafficked blog and review-sites, all of which just so happened to ones that gave Depression Quest attention and/or good reviews. The guy provided chat-logs and Skype Text conversation screenshots and things like that for evidence.
Basically, Zoe Quinn sucked and fucked her way to good reviews and exposure.
People naturally reacted negatively to this, as it was a bald-faced example of corruption, sleaze and back-door dealings in the world of videogame journalism, which is already pretty corrupt as it is.
Basically Zoe Quinn and the people that supported her ran damage-control, which took the form of spinning any criticism against Zoe Quinn as "misogyny" and "sexism".
Other more mainstream sites like Kotaku that are already run by leftists took this angle and ran with it, and started making articles to spread this narrative.
Basically idiots bought into this, and were thusly distracted from corporate/personal corruption. Mission accomplished.
CNN even did a segment on how poor and oppressed Zoe was by this supposed evil consortium that supposedly just really hates vaginas, claiming she's received "death threats" and had to move out of the country, funded by her loyal supporters of course.
Anita even went on the Colbert show and lied to the entire nation about how it was really just a conspiracy by "angry sexist males" and totally not an issue of morals or corruption or anything.
The beauty of it is this is the exact same way things are going to go for Hillary Clinton!

Seriously why did anyone think this would be a big draw?
If back to the future did a reboot do you think that would be a big draw? I don't think so.
Granted I think both movies are just solid OK movies with great ideas. Neither of those two were funny at all. They just had a solid plot,that was entertaining.
I wouldn't go to a reboot of either if you payed me 50$
>>72053002
I don't think Sony intended for the blind bandwagoning at all but decided to let the train run it's course.
I'm hoping that they chalk it up to being co-opted by Fag and sue him.
>>72060124
They even got a Law & Order: SVU episode about it and both women appeared in front of the UN. That L&O episode was pretty funny though

Correct me if wrong:
Box office is determined by the number of tickets sold during the very first views of it. Box office is not a product of the movies quality but it's marketing/ promotion, as the very first views may only be "tryouts", a complete idea about the movie has not been formed and reception is not detrmined yet.
All products success is mostly determined by the profits, yes, but the factor for this is not only quality but marketing too.
SUCCESSFUL=/=ACTUALLY GOOD

wrong.
The voucher is like a coupon. If you attend then then the studio gets the money from the coupon maker.
If you do not attend then the studio ultimately does not receive additional money.
This studio does not get the money up front, so as to reduce fraud.
You guys don't realize that these big corporations have a certain amount of money they're willing to burn every year to advance their leftist agenda. That's why you see so much feminist, racemixing, gay, and nigger shows on primetime TV. They know the viewership will be low, but they still do it. Then they use underhanded methods to inflate the nielsen ratings

Who woulda thunk.
>>72060964
But if this is a box office failure this is going to be a step back for their agenda.
Those all female reboots that people have been talking about? Dead in the water when this flops.
>>72060338
It would have definitely been a good draw if the writer/director didn't feel the need to use the platform as a soapbox for her personal ideals and then have the entire marketing campaigned around "If you don't see this and like it then you're a sexist pig."
It definitely could have been a decent film, not fantastic because all reboots tend to inherently be shittier than the originals.

I'm always amazed at how horrible his career seems to be. It's weird, I'm now past the point of seeing any delight over him failing, I just hope he now drops the failing artist nonsense and gets a boring desk job. It's just too pathetic to laugh at now.
>>72053843
The world somehow believes sjw's are some massive majority of public mindset rather than some counter culture trend followers. Like how in about 2003 everyone went emo for 4 or 5 years. Those wankers are the adult sjw's now. They think twitter followers equal dollars.

I like how the page for the reboot is semi-protected until next month. Meanwhile it's open season on the original films. Coincidence?
Is this 60 year old woman crying now
>>72057299
To be fair if you compare the two Ghostbusters had a budget of $30 million and only made ~$18 million on opening weekend.
So far it's still beating the remake, particularly since the reboot is working off an already successful franchise, but it wasn't even profitable until a while later.

It's a reboot. One that tries to do better than the original to the point that they almost insult the original.
Imagine turning in a book report in 2nd grade
then in 3rd grade you turn in the same book report, but with more spelling and punctuation errors.
If they want to revitalize the ghostbusters franchise, fine. But they completely fucked up the tone of the movie by making it more of a low brow humor and filling it with actresses that had no chemistry and were unfunny.
That and the final action scene is beyond stupid. Patty just tackles people and they girls fight a green screen.
>>72062392
Yeah, but in the 80s, movies could elicit slow burn profits with popularity via word of mouth.
Today, the word of mouth builds before due to social media, and openings are vital.
>>72058023
Australia ignoring it too. Most marketing ive seen here is small posters on public buses.
>>72057675
>Why the HELL aren't more movies aiming for this level?
Actors cost way more than they did even 20 years ago.
Feig probably insisted his "girls" get a healthy paycheque, confident his movie will make 500M.

Yeah, sure, too bad the entire marketing department, crew, and Director decided to be as offensive as possible though
How bad does it get /tv/? There's been tweets about how how each theater is empty. I'm fucking surprised.
>>72055445
Considering it's box office I think it's safe to say it's largely being ignored.
>>72062853
My theater ended up being empty.
That's one day. With that number, it will make somewhere around $60 million over the weekend which is a huge victory for the movie. That also means that it will probably end somewhere around $200-250 million in North America, more than enough to make back the budget when you add in foreign money
>>72062950

why did China ban this shit? what did they mean by that?
>>72063349
It's not even worth bootlegging.
>>72063372
They didn't ban it. They just didn't think there would be an audience for it since the first two films were never released there.

It's basically "Ghostbusters" in name only. It's like if a Rich Tumblrite decides remake a movie nobody asked to fuel her "This will piss those icky males off" delusion.
And like I said, it's not worth bootlegging. It's THAT BAD.
