pixar killed good animation, glad they are finished.

Between this and Inside Out it seems they've broken even. Don't see a problem there, other than the jews being greedy, they knew this would be a bomb but thought the dumb goy would see it anyway if they pump the marketing machine

>still has the title from when the premise was going to be about a pet dinosaur.
Pixar and Disney probably knew they had a box office bomb on their hands. It went through development hell, they knew Inside Out was the better and pumped more advertising into that. They're releasing Zootopia as early as possible but with enough of a gap juuust in case this turd did incredibly well and demanded a few more months in theaters.

>By summer 2013, the director and producer had been removed from the film due to story problems.[1] Peterson, who could not crack the film's third act,[24] was absent from D23 Expo, where Sohn and producer Denise Ream presented footage from the film.[25][26] Ed Catmull, Pixar's president, explained the departure: "All directors get really deep in their film. Sometimes you just need a different perspective to get the idea out. Sometimes directors... are so deeply embedded in their ideas it actually takes someone else to finish it up."[1] >In August 2014, Lithgow revealed in an interview that the film had been dismantled and "completely reimagined" and that he was expected to re-record his role in the next month, while mentioning that Frances McDormand was still part of the film.[30] In November 2014, it was reported that new elements had been added to the story, such as treating nature itself as the film's antagonist.[31] Pixar's general manager and president Jim Morris stated "We all liked the movie from the beginning, but... the story had some kind of fatal flaws in it that none of us really saw. It was kind of a Billy Elliot story. It was a very different kind of movie – there was a whole dinosaur culture and community and so forth. It was one where the Arlo character was kind of repressed by the community. It never quite felt right. It always felt like that we were vilifying this group [of dinosaur characters] that was otherwise a very likeable [sic] group. It just didn’t feel like it resonated truly."[32] Morris additionally explained: "We give people the chance to work on a story, and we give them our support, but it doesn't always work out... there were story issues that were just not solvable. So we changed the story to make it better, and we're very proud of the film we have now."[33] In October 2014, Sohn was announced as the new director of the film.[9]

>In June 2015, it was announced that the majority of the cast had been revised.[11] Of the original cast, only Frances McDormand retained her role in the film. It was revealed that Neff had been replaced by Raymond Ochoa, and Lithgow had been replaced by Jeffrey Wright.[11] Arlo's three siblings, to be voiced by Harris, Hader, and Greer had been cut altogether and replaced by a brother named Buck, voiced by Marcus Scribner,[11] and a sister named Libby, voiced by Maleah Padilla. On the cast revisions, Sohn explained: "It was all about finding a younger Arlo, it was really about finding a boy [to play Arlo], so that we could push into that idea of him growing up and becoming a man, so the actor previous – who is a great actor – he was already a man, and so I needed to push that arc and find that compassionate kid, so that was the major kind of change. Then everything else, all the other characters that supported that story came in and out and changed and evolved and through that evolution, some of those performers changed out of it."[21] It was also confirmed that the farmer aspect was still part of the film.[34]

How new are you, fag?

Fair enough. All I'm saying is that either they're not reporting costs correctly, not reporting what they made correctly, or they're engaging in some serious abrahamic accounting.

Disney spent so much on the film that they had to release just to try to make something back. This knew it wasn't going to do well and that the story was simple. That's why they put it out the same year as Inside Out. Hell, even Zootopia has more promotion than this.

Movies don't stop making money after their initial theater run. Far from it. Especially animated kids movies.

tron is and has always been garbage
Was it good?

Movies do need to make more than their production budget, because there are unseen marketing/distribution costs, as well as the the theater getting their cut of the admission (it's actually quite small which is why concessions are so fucking expensive) etc, though /tv/ faggots will act like a movie needs to gross three times its budget just to break even, which is ridiculous and movies would never get made if that were true.
it's really hard to determine when a movie makes a profit or not because there's so much scummy hollywood accounting behind the scenes. Officially, Star Wars was a net loss despite being the highest grossing movie of all time when it was released.
