Yeah, their marketing budget was probably under 5 grand.
>>70651823
Studios get about 15% of foreign market grosses
Thats quite impressive honestly
>>70651823
You do know that Disney has the 3 highest grossing movies of the year right now, and they all destroyed even Batman v Superman, right?
And in December, it's going to be the 4 highest grossing ones.
You simply can't fight them, so go for the lower hanging fruit, go for Fox or something, i'm sure you can approach them.
>>70651823
Why are the virgins watching this movie so obsessed with Disney?
>>70652564
You sound bitter
>>70652609
Not really.
Disney earned their success, i'm quite happy for them.
And I feel bad for Warcraft because I know if it had the Disney sign it would be making so much more.
>>70652368
Over 50% in China as Legeondary/Wanda own most of the cinema chains
>it's a disney vs. everything thread
>>70652122
>ignores that money wont ever come back to the US
Keep in mind that Legendary is a chinese company now. They're going to see a lot more of that chinese money than most other studios do.
>>70652648
>everything still loses
>>70652368
Actually it's closer to 30% foreign and 50% domestic.
>>70651823
No it doesn't.
But don't worry a quarter of the gajillion it makes in China will cover production and marketing.
Do worry if your averse to a sequel starring Chinese soap stars you've never heard of though.
Damn China...the last refuge of cinematic scoundrels.

Good movies deserve good recognition.
Zootopia, Jungle Book and Civil War were really entertaining.
>Warcraft makes 80% of it's money from China

Now divide that total by at least half. One half is going to theaters. Has the studio made a profit yet?

Don't worry guys, we already beat BvS to a pulp, you get the scraps.
>>70652676
>50% domestic.
No it isnt, Foreign is 15-25% at best and domestic is 60-90% depending on how much time has passed since the movie was released
The general rue of thumb is 20% foreign 80% domestic, for the movies final gross when it stops making money, rather than doing the math for 90-95% of the opening week/weekend of the domestic run
>>70652823

In select European territories, you mong. It got released in China yesterday.
>>70652122

At least 25% of China since 2016 thanks to a new deal.
I think Legendary (the films producers) get more because they have set up as a Chinese co-production studio now.

>>70652676

no the usual foreign take is around 41% and China is 25%, but the guy who pointed out Warcraft is getting 50% in China is right, i didn't factor that in here >>70652817

So you really are a DCuck.
You really need to resort to some shitty videogame movie do to what your goddamn BATMAN VS SUPERMAN movie couldn't.
Don't you see how sad all of this is?
Everyone is shitting so hard on this movie, but there is not even any kind of uproar like with ghostbusters, how come? :^)
>>70652873
Look it's the evansposter
Who is the bigger fag you or the fredposter?
>>70652987
>he's also using the same insults on both threads

Still, i'm glad to meet one of the last DCEU fans, guess it's an honor.
>>70652964
because the uproar with ghostbusters is sony and news agencies trying to create a story they can profit off of
the amount of people that hate the female cast is minuscule compared to people that think it looks like shit and dont care
>>70652834
you have no idea what you're saying and pulled these figures out of your ass. look up documents from the sony hack -- it's around 50% domestic, 40% foreign, and 25% China.
>>70652964
Because Sony is destroying a franchise that everyone loved.
Nobody cares about some videogame flick.
>>70652994

Why are you attempting to claim that a success is not a success?
>>70652915

In China is ruled by a communist party which moved towards a capitalist society 30 years ago.
Honestly I can say with 100% certainty you are American because your dumb as fuck about the world outside your shitty country
>>70653067
It's not /tv/
This thing only has happened with BvS and Warcraft because these two movies have fanbases full of fat nerds obsessed with their movies and get very angry when they don't get their opinions acknowledged.
They claim the reviews are invalid, but mention their RT score and they all get mad as fuck.
Simply delicious.

>>70652834
>domestic is 60-90% depending on how much time has passed since the movie was released
Even the Hollywood Reporter says Domestic is 50% at best
>>70653123
It's fairly mediocre.
It's going to end up making more or less the same as Prince of Persia or Need for Speed.
Maybe less profitable considering these had actual legs on domestic box offices and didn't depend on a country with such low profit returns as China.
>>70653023
>it's around 50% domestic
Yet again you prove to be retarded
Big summer Blockbusters get a MUCH larger percentage on opening weekend, Avengers 1 got 100% of the gross its opening weekend, it was unprecedented
As more time passes the studio gets less of the money, when all is said and done they average about 80% of the total domestic gross because most movies make the bulk of their money in the first 2 weeks, then by the time they drop off they are only getting 50% of the gross.
So if a movie makes 200 million in its first week and a studio gets 90% they are getting 180 million
Then the movie goes on to make a total domestic gross of 300 million, they only get 50-60% of the 100 million, so of the 300 million total the studio takes about 240 million.
240 of 300 = 80%
>>70653184
This.
Remember when China got Terminator Jennysmith to '400 something million'?
Where's the sequel then?
>>70651823
What I love about these threads is how absolutely wrong everyone is?
>>70653225
>It's going to end up making more or less the same as Prince of Persia or Need for Speed.
Except it's predicted to make over half a billion easy.
>>70653272
Maybe it'll reach 500 million thanks to China.
But considering that country is much less profitable, actual box office will end up at the 350 million or so that those two movies made.
It's the same as before.
>>70653264
welcome to /tv/
this board is a joke
>>70653256
Legendary is chinese now.. they get like ~58% or something

Why are you asking if what you love about these threads is how absolutely wrong everyone is?
>>70652834
You're simply wrong faggot
>>70652813
Here's something interesting, Wanda Group owns about 13% of all cinemas in the US and about 6% in China, meaning that they won't lose any money in a small amount of theatres.
It's also debatable how much of the percentage they actually loses in China since technically Legendary is now owned by Wanda Group which is based in China
>>70653317
Except you're conveniently ignoring the amount of foreign box office those movies made while at the same time singling out Warcraft.
Need for Speed made 200 mil- including internationally. Warcraft is 168 with just international.
>>70653142
>1.jpg
Nice try Disney shill falseflagger.
>>70653372
And keep in mind, this isn't even with China's weekend being over.
>>70653372
True, didn't know where I got the NFS numbers from.
Still, it'll end up pretty much the same as Prince of Persia.
I think Assassins Creed has the ability to get more money, and that it'll end up being a much better movie.
>>70652122
But that's gotta be part of the budget
>>70653023
He's not entirely wrong.
Studios negotiate the box office share in the U.S.
Certain films like Iron Man 3 have a sliding scale (we know because the cinema chains threw a public hissy fit) where they take a huge cut of the opening weekend and then it gets chopped week by week but sometimes goes back up.
The one thing the Sony hack showed was that normies like us can't know the real successes or failures because of the various co-financing deals etc.
Their profits and losses did not reflect their reported budgets and earnings.
>>70653420
This.
TASM2 made 750 million and even then they cancelled the franchise.
BvS made almost 900 million, and despite what some DCfags may say, this made all of WB get restructured and the entire DCEU get replanned.
>>70653420
>>70653452
People oversimplify the box office so much it's ridiculous
You can't determine the success of a movie just by looking at how much money it made and the production budget, it's way more complex than that
>>70653202
Averages out.
They get more up front, less at the tail end.
Unlike China which has fixed returns.

What fucking marketing? I've seen a few trailers on TV and an incredibly weak effort on social media.
This movie is going to do weak here maybe end up around 650-700 mil total globally but I don't think you have to worry about marketing costs too much.
>>70653683
>mfw Jungle Book hits 1 Billion
>>70653731
Nah, it already slowed down to a crawl and it's 100 million away.
It may reach 900 million though.

>>70653839
Except numbers stayed consistent from week one to week two in Europe.

We don't know what they spend on marketing and we don't know what deals they have with the cast and crew and we don't know about their co-production deals. So we never really know what's successful and what's not.

>>70653719
I've seen heaps of marketing. But I'm not in the U.S.
100 mil is like the average for a film this size.
Transformers 4 spent over 200 mil.
It's not that much if you think about it.

Only your first example is fucked up though, the rest are completely reasonable
It's also worth pointing out when talking about a movie like Warcraft that the movie is a merchandise movie.
It has the possibility to sell toys, games (obviously), clothes, costumes etc.
That's very important when it comes to success as well.
I can bet you 100 blowjobs that soon as you stop seeing those Warcraft TV-spot you will see a WoW TV-spot saying something like "Experience Warcraft yourself" with footage of both the Warcraft movie and WoW together.

it really isnt, it needs to make at least like 300m domestic alone, summer blockbusters have changed a lot ever since Iron Man and TDK

Doesn't matter though. It's going full Fast/Furious - Transformes mode in China. Wouldnt be surprised of it does 300 mil there and another 200 mil elsewhere. If Pacific Rim got to 400 mil, I don't see how this doesn't go to 500.

This
Hardly anyone in the US gives a fuck about Warcraft. The only people that care are Blizzcucks.
Literally any other movie opening beside it will do better
>>70652769
But Warcraft is a movie for virgins, like who cares if it makes money or not?
I get laid so I will not watch it.
>>70655579
This is really only true for very big blockbusters like capeshit.
Most movies spend about 50% of the production budget on marketing
>>70655676
Raping your mother for not giving you enough tendies doesn't count.
>>70655754
>Most movies
Most movies, are not summer blockbusters, and if you dont think Warcraft is a blockbuster, you are delusional
I watched it and boy was it awful. It looked contrived as fuck with an atrocious acting performance. I seriously cringed at least 15 times at the cheesy dialog.
Even the special effects weren't that good. I laugh when I hear Duncan saying he was going to do better than LOTR. What a fucking joke.
>>70655786
It's not a DC or Marvel flick, that's for certain. Its budget is below 200 million.
>>70655478
Most big summer movies, like Warcraft, spend a minimum of 150 mil on marketing (globally).
However that doesn't mean the studio is putting up all the money.
Angry Birds spent nearly 300 million on marketing.
Also Legendary purchased a specialist marketing company to handle their campaigns. Maybe they're super cheap/efficient or something.
But 124 million isn't an absurd number at all.

Oh...this isn't just marketing in terms of ads and stuff though. This is paying for all the junkets, premieres, even producing the film prints, digital prints, shipping them etc etc.
Pretty much everything to do with releasing the film
Warcraft movie had a lot of commercials and a lot of online advertising and a lot of billboards
They had an advertising budget you cucks. It's not some fucking Indie movie made for under a million
>>70656018
>It's not some fucking Indie movie made for under a million
Shame it looks like one.
>>70655863
>Most big summer movies, like Warcraft, spend a minimum of 150 mil on marketing (globally).
Source?
Hey retards, there is 100 million Warcraft fans in the world minimum, so ofcourse this movie is gonna do good, what the fuck were you expecting?
>>70655854
>It's not a DC or Marvel flick, that's for certain. Its budget is below 200 million.
140m - Iron Man
150m - The Incredible Hulk
200m - Iron Man 2
150m - Thor
140m - Captain America The First Avenger
220m - Avengers
200m - Iron Man 3
170m - Thor The Dark World
170m - Captain America The Winter Soldier
170m - Guardians of the Galaxy
250m - Avengers Age of Ultron
130m - Antman
250m - Captain America Civil War
180m average budget
>>70656081
I'm a fan of WC3 and I have no intention of seeing this flick
>>70656152
Why?
>>70656098
Even factoring out inflation from movies put out close to 10 years ago, that still puts it under the average.
>>70655863
>>70655656
The average hollywood marketing budget spendings are 35 million.
Or 33% of the budget is spent on marketing.
At most, Warcraft soaked 50m into marketing.
>>70656283
>Antman
>10 years old

You really dont understand what a Summer Blockbuster is do you.
>>70656333
Outlier. Iron Man and Hulk, the second and third cheapest, are from 2008.
>>70655673
Non-blizzcuck here. I'm seeing it because I have a bet on it being the top meme movie for the next few months. Same reason I paid to see BvS: it helps me be a quality contributor to this board.
>literally making yourself believe shit is good because you enjoy the source material
Dragonball Evolution is fucking great, 10/10 film, must see in IMAX. Thank you based Wong for the birth of animekino. Haters are just Disney shills!
So many people have uncles working at Nintendo.
Sigh I was hoping the critics were wrong and out of touch but no.. the movie is pretty damn bad.
It tries so hard to be like LOTR, to be epic and big. Sometimes it hits, but most of the time it misses. The acting performance is incredibly bad for everything that isn't an orc. Costumes looked cheap,The filming itself wasn't great either with many scenes that looked fake and out of place. Oh and the story is complete shit.
Torrent it boys, it's really not worth watching in theaters.
>>70656450
As someone who has actually seen it, this movie has more in common with Laurence of Arabia than LotR.
Toss CG and bad acting in, mind you. Let's be real about that.
>>70656326
That's the average taking into account small films.
Warcraft is not a small film.
The Interview cost 35 million to market. That's a smallish film.
Transformers 4 spent over 200 mil.
If you think Warcraft spent the same as a shitty Seth Rogen comedy on marketing your, like I said, living under a rock.
>>70653404
Lol how deluded are you you fucking idiot? The numbers won't even be in the same ball park ad it's quite obivous. Stop embarrassing yourself
>>70656384
>>70656283
factoring inflation
>140m - Iron Man
$155.58
>150m - The Incredible Hulk
$166.69
So Warcraft is EXACTLY like a Marvel movie by comparison, when you compare the first movies to the "first" Warcraft movie
>>70656510
It'll surpass 400 million probably, but that's all.
>>70656534
It's predicted to pass 500 million.
>>70656534
It will definitely surpass 500 million, most likely surpass 600 million and probably surpass 700 million
>>70656569
Not really.
>>70656582
>probably surpass 700 million
Just like Man of Steel and BvS would make over 1 billion dollars
>>70656504
As a man who still has cable, Warcraft was not advertised as much as other similar films like John Carter.
>>70656582
Doubt it'll surpass 500 million desu
Strong opening, but word of mouth is going to kill it.
>>70656504
I said 50ish.
How much do you think they spent?
But I still think that 400m will grant it a sequel. Just look at Mad Max.
>>70656504
Oh, and in looking this up;
>Studios paid CBS 400,000 per 30 second spot on Under The Dome
Surely this is just pissing away money?
>>70656624
Mad Max was a R rated action movie that cost 150 to make and got great critical success as well, not to mention its a beloved series by more than just nostalgic nerds
>>70656624
I think they would have spent around 100 mil like every other big film.
>>70656619
>word of mouth is going to kill it.
Good thing chinese aren't allowed to talk to each other.
> AMC'sThe Walking Dead, cable's top show in the 18-to-49 demo, charges upward of $300,000 for 30 seconds, nearly as much as CBS'The Big Bang Theory. That's nothing, however, when it comes to football: NBC's Sunday night games can command $600,000 to $700,000 a spot, while weekend day games sell for $400,000 to $600,000 (Argopeppered football in fall 2012).
How does anyone in Hollywood still have a job? No one fucking watches ads anymore. Goddamn that's retarded.
>>70656624
Depends different from one another.
TASM2 made 750 million and the franchise was cancelled.
Same for Terminator Genisys which made 400 million thanks to the chinks.
They'll probably just grab the money and run.
Or just pander hard to the chinks, as if make the entire whatever Warcraft 2 is into some asian themed shit with asian characters everywhere.
>>70656606
Source on those predictions?
>>70656619
>muh word of mouth
Didn't stop Transformers and many other movies from making a fuckton of money
Most people don't care what critics say mate
>>70656749
>Didn't stop Transformers and many other movies from making a fuckton of money
Doesn't have the same appeal.
>Most people don't care what critics say mate
Oh yes they do.
It affects all conversations since it reaches social media, and people start saying ''Oh, that movie that everyone said it was terrible?''
Then again, I doubt the average viewer of this kind of movies has social media.
>>70656733
You could produce 2 Napoleon Dynamites for the cost of 30 seconds advertising Warcraft to football fans.
>>70656749
Dude everyone thought BvS would make 1.5 billion.
That's why the flop was so funny, nobody expected it.
>>70656749
Word of mouth isn't critics reviews. Most accurate way to gauge word of mouth right now is Cinemascore.
They only survey paying customers. So usually the scores are quite high (since they're people who wanted to go see the movie).
You know you're in financial trouble if you get a bad rating from them.
>>70656749
>transformers
>literally everyone has heard of transformers
>warcraft
>neckbeards have heard of it
Not even close to the same audience. To add insult to injury Warcraft didn't get any big name actors which will hurt them even more
>>70656740
TASM got to try two times tho. And Spider-man himself, is definitely not dead.
And Terminator got a yet another sequel in the works.
I really think, that if it makes 400m, they will see the potential in a longer franchise.
>>70652609
the irony... dcucks these days.
>>70651823
Didn't Star Wars make like $2b? :^)
>>70656749
>Didn't stop Transformers
>>70656786
But once again, critics hated Transformers and it still made a fuckton of money and the sequels made even more,
>>70656813
Who is everyone?
>>70656840
Sure but word of mouth is rarely negative on blockbusters
>>70656868
I'm not saying that it will make as much as Transformers but my point was about the relevance of word of mouth
Haha fuck disney and their paid reviews
>>70657386
Because kids enjoy cars transforming into robots, as do dudebros.
>>70656749
>>70657386
>Didn't stop Transformers and many other movies from making a fuckton of money
Transformers 1 got good reviews
the sequels just road on the coat tails and played to the mindless idiots
>>70657367
Are you suggesting that it did?
>>70657412
Again, I'm not saying Warcraft will be as succesful as Transformers
>>70657431
Ridiculous
Transformers 3&4 made more than twice as much money as the 1st one did, it definitely did not ride on the 1st ones reviews
Also, the 1st got average reviews. Still rotten on RT
>>70652737
nice try
>>70655048
pacific rim is getting a remake lol, kill yourself
>>70652346
What are you talking about. They have TV ads in the NBA Finals.
>>70656152
your loss actually
That $160 mil is literally its entire Chinese gross, and it's projected to do even worse here.
300 tops, and that's being generous.
>>70658440
>That $160 mil is literally its entire Chinese gross
For less than 48 hours.
It ain't even Friday.
>>70653410
NO
Production cost never includes marketing. That's a different budget
Jungle Book was better, Saw Warcraft yesterday with my girl. Shit was trash, son. Nice cgi desu, but overall shitty acting, poor writing to boot.
Thought jungle book was a nostalgia, it made me happy when king louie started singing OOOBEEDDOOO I WANNA BE LIKE YOU.
anyways, epic, warcraft is was shit, is shit. kill yourselves beta fucks.
>>70658440
Are you retarded
studios need to double the production budget before they can make a profit
>>70653070
>Warcraft
>epic
>>70653814
>3 mediocre SJW multicultural films
Guess who is talking about SJW.
>I don't know how the box office works
remember how the golden compass was a huge box office flop
>>70658823
>What part of that statement is wrong?
Sure nothing, my numale freind.
>>70658874
Yes? It barely made it's production budget back
What's your point?
>>70658985
it made a little more than double its production budget
>>70659011
No, that's not how it works.
>mfw all these people think the international gross goes back to the studio
hint: it doesn't
>>70654164
It does ensure sequels though. Sequels that could potentially be worth a shit.
Of course I'm hoping against hope here.
>>70659024
what?
it made double its production budget
I just got back from it and it was fucking garbage. Save yourself the time and don't go. If you want to see it just find a bootleg somewhere.
The acting is horrible, and of course the casting was off. Medivh was a fedora tipping virgin neckbeard. The king was a pussy bitch, and Lothar was another neckbeard fedora tipping faggot.
They fucked up the lore big time.
The entire film was shitty CGI.
Duncan Jones is a total failure at directing, of course.
>>70659054
unless they sold overseas rights it does bruh bruh
