Ghostbusters Opens with $46M in its first Week
Second best opening this week
Sequel is now possible and is beeing discussed
CAN'T WAKE UP
SAAAVE MEEEEEEEE
>>81495348
It'll die down the next week senpai, no need to worry
no way this movie does better than break even.
>>81495348
>For Sony, after everything it weathered with the online attacks on the film by male haters, Ghostbusters is nothing less than a win
how long is this narrative that the all female cast was the only problem with this piece of shit
>>81495348
>Second best opening this week
No it lost to an animated kid's movie in its second week
>>81495348
>2nd best behind "The Secret Life of Pets"
there was nothing else released this week, it got beat out by a cartoon released last week. next weeks drop will be massive
>>81495725
and in movie economics a movie is only a success if it doubles its budget
>>81495348
It's going to be lucky to break even
>>81495348
goatfuckers?
>>81495970
The all female cast is the biggest problem though.
>>81495348
>2nd behind "life of pets"
>which was in it's second week
>FUCKING GHOSTBUSTERS couldn't beat a film in it's second week of running on it's launch weekend
>mfe wikipedia says PITCH FUCKING PERFECT 2 made more money on it's opening weekend in the same genre just last year
>>81495348
>$46M in the most profitable week
>it had a budget of $150M before advertising
wew lad, this movie is a disaster.

>>81496545
>15 shekels have been deposited to your account
I wish that would be true
>>81495348
I predicted high 30's to high 40's
Will make about 400 world wide.
Basically take "Spy" box office figures and add a bit more on top.
It's extremely weak compared to the performance of the original, but so are many remakes.
>>81495348
I'm not surprised, it really is a fantastic movie, I'm hoping other studio's take note and remake classis like taxi driver, godfather, deliverance and the shining with an all female cast of top grade American comediennes.
>>81496591
It's just all about pushing their agenda now
>>81496470
kek nice gif response senpai
>>81495348
That's not actually good
At this rate it might get 200 million worldwide which means it's a hundred million dollar loss for Sony
>>81495348
Stormweenie mras btfo and irreversibly butthurt
/pol/ wanted this movie to fail so hard it's gonna be glory to watch the stormfaggot tears of impotent rage
For reference, "The revenant", made 39 million on the first week, this movie is actually making quite a lot of dosh
When are rancid right wing beta neets going to accept their views are extremely deluded, distorted, and plainly incompatible with reality?
Have some lulz
>>81496591
More than 240 Hans
>>81495970
>Ghostbusters
>Opening in second place with roughly the same number as "The Heat" with a lower audience score, a film that went on to gross less than the budget of Ghostbusters.
It's performance is basically on par with it's critical reception (from non politicized factions): mediocre.
For non tv nerds:
- Production + advertisement roughly 300mil
- Studio gets around half the money the movie makes (more this weekend, less from europe though)
- So this needs to gross upwards of 500mil to break even
- Star trek and ice age will kill it next week and it will drop by 70% give or take
It's a flop. We won bros. The sequel talk is damage control by the studio
>>81496128
It didn't even lose to Secret Life.
Secret Life already opened last week.
It lost to the SECOND WEEK of a talking dog movie from an independent studio.
Sony are fucking morons.
>>81497150
Bait but I'll reply anyways.
Who says the rate they're making money at is sustainable?
Numbers a week or two from now will be more telling, once word of mouth spreads.
http://www.vulture.com/2016/07/paul-feig-ghostbusters-reboot-c-v-r.html
>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,
>>81497546
Also pets budget is like 58 mil. This is delicious
>>81495348
It didn't even beat Secret Life of Pets
>>81497555
>Who says the rate they're making money at is sustainable?
It's faring nicely above or similarly to opening weeks of movies like the martian, the revenant, interstellar, and many other good movies.
It also disproved the stormweenie meme about how no one wanted to see the movie.
>Numbers a week or two from now will be more telling, once word of mouth spreads.
Nice damage control you dumb parrot faggot, keep clinging to your delusions.
>>81495348
a blockbuster opening in second place is a bomb.
Projected. Weekend isn't over. Go to box office mojo and you'll see it says estimate.
>>81495348
Not even reincarnation or coming back as a ghost can make this flop a sequel. It's six feet under.
>>81495348
If its true that the sequel is being discussed, that proves producers had no confidence in this, or they would have contractually locked the stars into a trilogy before the first day of principal photography
>>81498019
>3 sheckles have been deposited into your account
>>81497150
For reference it's the second highest opening for a remake of a 1980's comedy movie, behind The Longest Yard. That movie closed about 5 million short of Ghostbusters production budget. It also was released on far fewer screens and was much cheaper.
It's not a disaster. It's not a hit. It's probablg going to scrape by with international.
Looking at it as just a film...that's fine.
However, it's an IP that should have generated billions for them.
This is Sony for you. The mongs couldn't even figure out how to make Spider-Man profitable.
>>81495348
Don't forget, Kids. Star Trek Beyond is out next week, so goatsebusters will have to compete against that. There's no way they're breaking even in the theater. Maybe with home video sales.
>>81495348
Meh, Ice age and Star Trek are coming this weekend
It will be forgotten
>>81495348
>Second best opening this week
Old joke:
The Soviet Union came a GLORIOUS second in the space race
The USA came a humiliating second last
>>81498307
Yeah, if they would have rebooted it with the funniest male jews they could find, they would have made double or better.
>>81495348
The autists on /tv/ say that its production budget only accounts for about half of the money it needs to make to break even.
Unless it clears 450 million there will be no sequel.
>>81497150
For reference the R rated supernatural comedy Deadpool made 130 million in it's opening weekend. With a budget 1/3rd that of Ghistbusters.
Best case scenario with this opening for Lady Ghostbusters is 150 mil domestic.
For reference: Adjusted for inflation the original did 675 mil domestic.
How long until they admit the movie was a mistake? That feminism was a mistake?
>>81498737
It's made by sony so never
>>81495348
>$46M in its first Week
>it needs to make at least $200M to break even
>>81498019
>comparing a PG 13 major summer comedy family film remake to fucking R rated oscar b8 art films released in December
Mexican Intellectuals on fire.
>>81495348
For a comparison, the original Ghost Busters grossed $295,212,467 in 1984 dollars.
That's almost $700,000,000 when adjusted for inflation.
>>81498737
Sony must die.
>>81495348
>>81497546
>Sony are fucking morons.
This
>>81498980
>>81498882
How long until they start shaming/blaming men for the failures of the movie then?
>>81498737
6 months to a year after its out on DVD.
Even then it'll just be actors and such getting to shit talk it after their contracts on the movie run out, and Sony quickly and quietly burying a sequel
So a movie I have no intention of seeing made enough move for a potential sequel which I also have no intention of seeing.
I don't see the problem?
denial is a river in africa. when women when, weak cowardly men squirm.
and i laugh.
where im at every one on FB is going off in groups to see ghost busters
ive already seen the movie twice with two cliques at my school
i recommend everyone see the movie with family and go out and buy a ghost busters toy
this isn't a boys club.
I didn't think it was that bad. Sure, the chemistry wasn't there sometimes, but I laughed at least a couple times during the film. Wouldn't see it again, but not a bad deal for $9
>>81498737
they didn't do it after Mad Max came in second they won't do it now
>>81497489
>We won
this turd was sunk before it even slipped into the toilet.

>behind Secret Life of Pets
For a moment I thought Burgerland was featuring Bongland TV shows in theaters.
>>81499393
I agree, hahaaha
ghost busters is a funny film. its said that these guys are so threatened by it
>>81498980 >>81498882 >>81498660 >>81498119
spoken like butthurt manbabies
>>81495348
Overseas market could save it. It doesn't take a genius to work out in the next one it will have male vs female ghostbusters. They are making a ghostbusters universe after all.
>>81495348
5/10 on IMDB. AH AH AH AH AH
>>81498660
Well yeah they don't get 100% of the revenue from sales.
>>81495348
>Second best opening this week
but not for the year. how many movies got released this week? get real faggot if that thing doesnt pull a bil globally in a month it failed for a pg13 movie
it will be compared to disney flicks like avengers, avengers 2, captain america civil war. even deadpools R ratting didnt stop it from getting 700 mil
>>81498969
An entire nation of retards crushed by this post.
>>81499781
It's not being shown in China, overseas isn't going to save it
>>81499393
>>81499771
Get back to your side of the border, leaf
>>81498660
U.S. studios average about half the take on box office.
Foreign is anywhere from 25-50%.
Marketing spends vary wildly. People used to say about half of the production budget on top. But that's quite low.
So, being wildly conservative;
Budget + Marketing = 235
Break even = 470 mil global
Feig himself said they were looking at 500 on the low end.
A stellar performance is a 3.5 multiplier on your opening weekend.
So 175 U.S. is best case scenario for this release. A good international, at the most insane and generous is double your domestic - 350.
So the absolute best case scenario for this film is 525, which puts it nicely in the red.
This is hugely optimistic though. Films that do double domestic in the international market are the monster blockbusters like Pirates Of The Carribean or Transformers. They also always have China, which Ghostbusters does not.
They are in big trouble - $50 mil minimum they didn't even hit - and I have a feeling they are in for a steep second week drop off
>>81496912
How's it gonna make 400 million worldwide? they can't even show it in China.
>>81499393
The results are in and they ain't pretty.
This movie is a financial failure. There's no way around it. Glad you enjoyed this turd cause you won't be getting a sequel.
>>81499198
They are already doing it for months.
>>81499198
Already have.
Batman Vs. Superman opened to 166 million.
>>81495348
Meanwhile, Independence Day 2 apparently disappoints despite being fuckawesome.
>no one in the cast supports the aliens
>everyone absolutely loathes the aliens
>their hatred is never thematized because it's taken for granted and not as a negative trait
>aliens barge into command bunker and the president just instantly tells her bodyguards to shoot because fuck negotiating with those alien fucks
>guy mocks aliens by pissing into their ship
>it ends with humans preparing to go out and buttfuck the aliens until they have been genocided
Independence Day 2's take on international relations is really refreshing. Counter genocide with genocide, without anyone thinking of being pro alien.
>>81499393
>when women when
Have you ever been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
I'm no expert, but isn't there some kind of thing where only the movies that lose money make money for investors or actors or something like that?
>>81500326
Spy was able to scrape to 300 with an R rating and much smaller awareness and promotion.
This looks like it's on track to do about 350-400 unless something goes really wrong (or right).

If he's not just trolling, one of the PR firms hired to promote the film. Marketing in this way is pretty standard now.

I'm trying to imagine just how bad the 3rd feminist ghostbusters film would be.
>>81499771
Master troll or buttblasted faggot? Here's your (you) anyway. Either way, consider suicide.
>>81500818
No. This is all a myth except in Australia in the 80's or in Germany up until recently.
Even then it's not "losing money" and it's often related to illegal activity. One famous example was Rescue Dawn where the producers actively tried to sink the film.
The tax incentive schemes offered by both countries at the time ensured an investor a 100% tax write off unless the film turned a profit. At one stage it was a 150% tax write off.
People abused the system by associating themselves to the films as a "producer" and paying themselves huge salaries or making lavish purchases or investments as part of the production costs, which is all then recouped in the tax write off.
This is also how the infamous Uwe Boll was able to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for garbage like Bloodrayne, Far Cry, Postal etc.
He got something like 400 million upfront. Those gentleman then make a film for 30 million that actually cost about ten, spend the other 20 on "producer fees" and claim 45 million back on taxes when it's an inevitable flop.
In thanks part to Boll's almost comical exploitation of this tax scam they have shut it down.
Which sucks, because who doesn't love classic, awesome "German" movies like Die Hard or Predator.

I don't believe it. The movie cost 250 million, marketing included, and I don't think it will make much money after a week. Word has spread that it was REALLY bad movie.
It's dead. It's gonna tank so fucking hard.

No one's going to see it.
>>81510199
They are.
Everyone's posting pics of 'ghost' town theaters. I don't see how they've made whatever current count is with empty seats.
I just want to see it for Kate McKinnon
Did 19 million over seas, doubt it will make more than 150M WW when all said and done
>>81510943
Why? She isn't funny, or attractive.
>>81500595
That doesn't make any sense.
B v S had awesome trailers. (I didn't actually watch the movie though)
Also, I rarely go to the movies unless I see something that really piques my interest.

This is the one woman Id want to see of the cast on a mixed ghostbusters team. More Steampunk than Goth

The problem with type of film, as well, is that it will lose traction incredibly quickly.
