How you want your next movie franchise, senpai?
No China to save it either.
Huge marketing budget.
Nu Star Trek 3 is out next weekend.

"""""""""""HORROR""""""""""""" comedy
wonder why it failed.
>>72087925
>Star Trek 3 is out
Do people actually care?
>>72087925
So is Suicide Squad
Ghostbuster? More like GhostBUSTEDor Ghosttown since the theater is empty
>>72088019
It failed because it was a movie made for middle aged women marketing itself to kids. Feminists don't consume things aimed at them.
>>72088019
Original Ghostbusters is a masterpiece.
They mostly play it straight. Few moments of tongue in cheek. or them being in on the joke. No offensive stereotypes. Solid story arcs.
>>72088038
Enough to eat into Ghostbusters second weekend.
>>72088038
Compares to Ghostbustersa?
Yeah, kinda.
Star Trek looks entertaining bad. Ghostbusters, snuck in didn't pay, was just really bad bad.

>>72088197
Oh, I thought it was next week. Anyway, Star Trek and Ice Age are gonna fuck Ghostbuster's shit up.
How the fuck did it jump from $17 million on Friday to $46 million on Saturday?

I wish I had a girlfriend as adorably autistic as Tay Tay. Mine's just kind of bitchy autistic.
It's going to come in 2nd place to Life of Pets, which came out last week and had half the budget.
>>72088249
Normies aren't box office autists like us. You can say "Ghostbusters opened with an AMAZING $46 million!" and people will think it's good.

>>72088178
I wonder how many other people did this
>>72088406
people are getting tired of reboots, sequels, and capeshit that isn't MCU or Deadpool.
Opening weekend's not over yet.
>>72088038
We know Paramount doesn't, there has been no advertising campaign for it on TV when most do a blanket coverage for a month
>>72088406
Seems like Marvel are the only ones that can still make money.
Wonder how long that will last though.
>>72088467
I've seen tv commercials for it.
>>72088384
Saturday is off. They were expecting a 10% drop off from Thurs+Fri total against Dory/Pets at the least
>>72088038
THE STAR TREKS DO QUITE WELL SO GB IS FUCKD
>>72088467
Yeah, I didn't actually know there was a new movie until I saw a commercial on TV last week.
>>72088389
That's embarrassing.
>>72088144
So easy to trigger lmao
>>72087901
Next week is far more important for this movie. Anything less then 20 mil and it's probably going to struggle to crack 100.
>>72088461
We know. 46 million is the estimate for after today. It made 17 million on friday, 16 million saturday and they are expecting 13 million from today's screenings.

It's not directed by J.J. Abrams. Justin Lin is far from a household name. Chekov died so maybe they didn't know whether to put him in ads or not.

I dont think you guys are seeing the big picture. The mean internet bullies were right again. For like the 4th time this week.

Remove the pics of the similar-looking men. The same with those Sandy Hook conspiracy images it just makes you look paranoid
This isn't a Last Airbender level flop. It's only a smallish loss, which means there's still a chance that the execs will push through a bunch of sequels to this thing, because it's IMPORTANT.
>>72088977

The movie needs 400 mill to be a sucess and guarantee a sequel, man.
I dont think they are going to make 350 million in the next 6 weeks by selling shirts
>>72088931
It is losing to a CGI kids movie, that is in its second weekend.
>>72087925
You're forgetting that it's in nearly 4 THOUSAND theaters as well. That shit alone should've been more than enough but nope. Again, feminists fucking lose.
>>72088974

Where do you get your info from? Scandinavia continues its steady decline, especially in their universities and public schools
>>72089015
> It's only a smallish loss
are you for real.
not only do you have to take the 144 million budget into account but also the marketing one and the fact that the merchandising flopped horribly and was in clearance weeks before the movie evne came out.
>>72089015
next weekend is Star Trek, then Jason Bourne, then Suicide Squad.
It won't make back the budget in domestic sales.
>>72089079
But this is a favorite of the execs, who want a sequel to prove they're feminist and progressive and not like those shitlords at Fox and Marvel who refuse to make a female-led action movie.
>>72089055
You can still cut them out in like 5 seconds
Good. Get rekt Leslie Jones.
>>72089123
It only made 19mil since Monday internationally.
>>72088782
Im gonna guess the top selling toys for this movie were
1. Slimer
2. Stay puft marshmallow man
3. The car
4. Chris Hemsworth
alot of people are going back to see it a second time tho
>>72088908
I did, and I just reread it, friend. Did you not make your point clear enough maybe?
>>72087901
That's an estimate too.
Sony will be lucky if they've taken in that much since its release globally.
>>72089156
Yeah, no. Sony is already bleeding money. They care about money, not agendas.
>>72089015
There will be no sequels I imagine. No foreign market ie China to make up for losses like Warcraft. Execs don't give a shit about feminism or women unless they pay for tickets. Obviously they didn't so you can be assured some lip service will be payed, like in Mad Max Fury Road. This was Amy Pascals project from the beginning, and that was after she stepped down because of ASM2 flopped. If they do this sort of thing again they definitely won't attempt to pander to feminists and trash men. Makes no sense. Why remake a 30+ franchise for men and then alienate them? Pascal is in deep shit if this doesn't make at least a little money.
>>72089156
>who want a sequel to prove they're feminist and progressive
Do you seriously think they give a rat's ass about that when it makes them lose dozens of millions?
>>72089195
We'll see how the second week ticket sales pan out then won't we?
>>72089195
She can enjoy having the theater to herself again then.
>>72089195
This shit is so fucking sad. This is the kind of shit I did as a child with the Pokemon movie and the Power Rangers movie. As a grown adult I wouldn't even think about going to the same movie twice.

>>72089156
Fox still haven't officially said no Fant4stic sequel. They can't be seen to not be ebullient about their big tentpole releases even as they're crashing and burning at the box office.
What you'll see, in time-honoured tradition, is a lamentation of the film's underperformance but talk of 'confidence' in future sequels and spin-offs so long as they 'retool' the franchise to 'meet fan demand'.
They'll keep that up for a few months until the Blu-Ray release has been and gone, at which point whenever it comes up in interviews it'll still be 'on the table' or 'in the early stages of development'.
Eventually it'll just be never mentioned again until they try to reboot it again ten years from now.
>>72089228
Grown adults usually have multiple groups of friends who all wish to see the film on different dates. Most Normie's don't go for the film but to socialise with the film as an excuse.
>>72089228
I go a second time when I think seeing it in a different format has something to offer, like when I saw Pacific Rim in standard, then went back for IMAX 3D.
>>72089015
>>72089153
Like I said even if Sony starts listening to Tedx talks while smoking Crack all day a "fuck you we will make a sequal anyway" movie will have a small budget production and marketing budget and likely be the end of The ghostbusters anyway. Sony showing their rivals what not to do is a good thing because cucks like feig apparently had wanted to do this for a long time
>>72089228
Eh. I've seen a couple of movies more than once in theaters because I had friends who hadn't seen it before and wanted to go.
>>72089250
Only reason Fox hasn't talked about it is because they're just trying to hide that complete failure. All the actors have jumped ship, Apocalypse was definitely no Deadpool. Shit can only bleed money so long before they give up the rights for a quick buck and move onto something else.
>>72089268
THAT WAS DUMB
I WENT TO IMAX 3D ALL 3 TIMES
YOU COULDN'T TELL PACIFIC RIM WAS A MOVIE TO ONLY WATCH IN IMAX 3D?
>>72089262
Yeah, no. Grown adults say "sorry, I already watched the movie with xy yesterday". No normie ever watches the same movie twice 2 days in a row.

What?
So who's to blame here? America, for not promoting a feminist enough culture to go watch a HILARIOUS movie starring funny women? The AVGN, for being a pissbaby and telling everyone to judge the film based on the trailers? Sexist critics like Roeper and Armond who unfairly disliked the movie?

Star Trek has always had a loyal fanbase.
Not to mention all 40-50 year olds love it.
>>72089015
>isn't a Last Airbender level flop
>It's only a smallish loss
The Last Airbender made 320 worldwide against a 150 budget. This is lucky to make 250 worldwide against a 144 budget (though the marketing for this film has been much larger than The Last Airbender). Feig himself said it needs to make 500 minimum. It will lose a lot of money for Sony, and they deserve it.
>>72089318
It's not just a Fox pattern, it's a Hollywood generality.
Just look at Terminator Genisys, or any other high-profile underperformer. Same blandishments every time, they can't afford to lose face.
Alright /tv/ this film has been a financial failure like we all saw coming. We need a way to constantly rub it in the face of everyone else
We cant keep calling it Ghostbusters because the real Ghostbusters was successfull and endured for generations. This will be forgotten. Unless we brand it as something else entirely
My vote is for Penisbusters or Ballbusters

>But then they realized they could capitalize on the whole feminist controversy that exists.
Please elaborate. I'm not 'murrican so I am clearly missing something.
There wasn't lot of feminism propaganda in the movie but people still are talking like it's some sort of feminists' big achievement. I'm confused.

The whole internet has been sensitive to anything related to feminism ever since the whole Goobergator thing happened.
Sony, and other people journalists shilling for this movie, tried to tie that whole controversy to this movie.
Too bad normies don't seem to give a shit though.

Was there ever a time he wasn't right about something?
>>72089472
It's part of the pre-release marketing spin. They tried to push the narrative that only misogynist neckbeard manchildren would dislike it, and if you support females in movies you NEED to see this film. They tried to frame it as a new era of film, where female leads could get big numbers.
I'd be pissed honestly if I were a serious feminist. The best you can do is a remake of a movie with men? To prove women can only leech off the backs of men's work?
>>72089472

Dead serious. I don't really give two shits about feminism and I thought that replacing original cast with girls was just a way to refresh original formula. Especially with all the stereotypes in the movie.

If this would have been the case then it would have been fine, but the whole point of doing it to begin with was the whole feminist agenda. If a movie has an agenda at the expense of writing then it's doomed to fail.

Sony won't be making another Ghostbusters for a long time if at all. I'm glad Pascal got the boot, but it didn't come early enough.

>they wanted 500$ million to start a franchise
They didn't want 500 mil, 500 mil is the minimum they need to make after theater takes and marketing. Feig himself said even that would be considered low. A movie like this you're hoping to make a billion dollars, and it could have had it been made competently without the agenda pushing.
Finishing second was Sony's Ghostbusters, which matched Mojo's weekend forecast with an estimated $46 million. This is the largest domestic opening for both director Paul Feig and Melissa McCarthy. Attention will now turn to the film's future prospects, mostly due to how well Feig and McCarthy's films have performed beyond their opening weekend.
A look at Feig's last three films—Spy, The Heat and Bridesmaids—we find them performing, on average, with a 4.778 multiple. Should Ghostbusters enjoy such a performance it would result in a domestic run right around $220 million.
Performing a similar evaluation of McCarthy's last six wide release comedies in which she plays the starring role we find, on average, a 4.136 multiplier. Should Ghostbusters perform similarly we're looking at a $190 million domestic performance once all is said and done. Of course, with the larger opening weekend, Ghostbusters isn't likely to deliver such high multiples, so, for the sake of comparison, here's a look at the multipliers for McCarthy's last six wide release comedies in which she played a starring role and what kind of domestic run Ghostbusters would be looking at if it performed similarly to any of them:
•The Boss (2.674 multiplier) - $123 M
•Spy* (3.810 multiplier) - $175.3 M
•Tammy (3.917 multiplier) - $180.2 M
•The Heat* (4.080 multiplier) - $187.7 M
•Identity Thief (3.893 multiplier) - $179.1 M
•Bridesmaids* (6.443 multiplier) - $296.4 M
* Directed by Paul Feig
More realistically, we're probably looking at a domestic run around $135-145 million. Ghostbusters carries a $144 million budget (net after tax incentives and rebates) and received an "A-" CinemaScore for the under 25 crowd, and an overall "B+", on par with Bridesmaids and Spy and just behind The Heat's "A-".
>/tv/ btfo once again
>>72090025
yes, because I was referring to Ghostbusters
you sound like an absolute plebeian man
seeing a movie you love in a theater is the only way to go. of course watching it at home on a 50-60" is good too but it is not at all the same experience as being in a theater to see a movie on a giant screen with excellent sound. you sound like a shut in pleb though so I doubt you'd understand that a lot of the greatest movies should be seen on as large a screen as possible
>>72089456

>>72090076
Ghostbusters is an entirely different situation mate. It's a movie that is seen as a beloved classic, despite being shit, by many, many people. The movie's name brand alone should have brought in a huge number of people. The fact that it barely outperformed the opening of The Heat, a movie just sold on McCarthy's name alone, is an incredibly bad sign.
>>72089998
>They will eventually turn on you every fucking time

Reminds me when there was some anti-racist video done here in Sweden (Yes) and there was a older white man, who used to be a singer, in it because he belived in the message, and it was about a black artists.
He got fucking assblasted by the so called anti-racist just because he was white and that "he would never understand how it was to be black"

>No-one who actually does these things sees films twice, especially on the same day.
Well he does, almost like people don't all act exactly the same. He doesn't watch it again if people do go out with him the first time, which is usually the first screening on day of release.
>my awkwardness

That's surprising, given very few are going to see it a first time.

again, no offense, but it doesn't sound like you and your wife are really all that into film. nobody who actually has a sincere interest in movies would ever argue that watching movies on a tv is superior to seeing them in a theater. are you seriously saying you'd rather watch movies like Mirror, Woman in the Dunes, Once Upon a Time in the West, etc at home? That's just ridiculous if so.

Motherfucker that's a projected figure for the entire weekend. Analysts are saying they believe Ghostbusters is on track to make $46 million in 3 days, and the thing is we won't know if they're right until Sony releases official numbers.
And God knows Ghostbusters won't be making nearly that much in the next 2-3 weeks against Star Trek, Ice Age and Suicide Squad.
>>72090188
It not only could be but it is significantly lower.
>>72090532
And it won't make any more money because better movies are coming to stomp it's ass out.

I don't think you know how to read or follow a thread. A projected $46 million for a film with a budget of $144 milliona number that doesn't include money spent on ads or merchandiseis not good. At all. # 2 in the box office for a movie that has been plastered on every screen for the five months is abysmal.
