Ghostbusters flopped!
Let's see you try to make make $46 million a weekend. How is this a flop? Sony was projecting 38-40 million.
Let us raise a glass of feminist tears in celebration. ALL HAIL THE PATRIARCHY!

>>72088083
>How is this a flop?
You know literally nothing.
I bet you think that if its budget was 140 mil, and it makes exactly 140 mil, that it wasn't a flop.
>>72088046
funny how the media is reporting a win
>>72088083
Hollywood Accounting.
Sony loans out the budget to make and market the film to a production company, because it's in the 100s of millions they charge something like 30% interest.
The estimated cost of the film was $144m
So you double that to cover the P&A (print and advertising) budget, which is usually as much as the production budget.
So we have
>144 + 144 = 288.
>+ 30% interest of loan = ~$374.4 million.
>Now I think the studio only gets 60% of the ticket price, depending on the individual distribution deal they negotiate with each cinema chain.
>They need to make $624 million to break even!
>Yes, they probably shave off a few hundred mill with international sales agreements in other territories.
>Point is, they need to make like $100m this weekend to have enough momentum to make back the rest.
>>72088402
Not only that, but Jews aren't in this business to just 'break even'.
Tarzan was a WB movie?
Isn't Tarzan Disney?
>>72088402

ITT: We pretend movies stop making money after one week and don't stay in theaters for multiple weeks, then go onto the home video market, sell merch, and then sell the rights to the film to Netflix/cable

so we like this movie now?
>>72088892
In this post, Sony shill.
>>72088892
>We pretend movies stop making money after one week and don't stay in theaters for multiple weeks
said opening week is usually when the movie makes the biggest amount of revenue unless it's unknown and later becomes a sleeper hit.
Ghostbusters 2016 is not a sleeper.
>sell merch
pfft.

>see rising trend in 80s horror movies
>make stranger things
there are other shows that apply to this but i'm not gonna name all of them
and you don't get a lot of money from merch unless it's a super big franchise like star wars or if it's Disney
and home video market is practically dead with torrents and netflix
>>72088046
I'm not too familiar with how the box office works. Is this bad for a film of this budget or not? Thanks in advance for the replies, amigos
>>72089179
the movie would have to make 100 million in the next week just to make even, and that's not counting the marketing and merchandise budget, as well as the fact that theaters take about 25% of the revenue and that execs don't want to break even, they want tons of profit.
Just saw this. It was great, the whole theater laughed, everyone sat through the credits. It seems only angry manchildren on the internet dislike it.

>>72089670
Are you literally below an iq of 70?
Fact that it is second despite just being released, shows its anything but a flop.

How low does this board IQ go?
>>72089761
>Fact that it is second despite just being released
...again, against other movies that didn't come out the same week.
It's a flop because it has a 144 million dollar budget and will never make that amount after such a poor opening. Not to mention the marketing and merchandise budget that went to shit because the products were in clearance from stores weeks before the movie even came out.
>>72089761
>You're saying a movie released 2 days hasnt made as much money as a movie released 2 weeks?
Oh man, you can't even read the chart right. This is brilliant.

So if I project that a 200 million dollar movie will make 4 bucks off little Timmy's wallet does that mean it's not a flop?
Honey, Sony themselves admitted that it was going to flop when they released their projections. They realized them riding on the feminist bandwagon backfired spectacularly.
>>72089849
>144 million dollar budget and will never make that amount after such a poor opening
Much more troubling when you consider the massive marketing budget isn't factored in on that figure.
This is pretty much dead. They'll never get the funding for a sequel.
>>72088602
holy shit even the hollywood jews are getting jewed

>>72090042
Against a 144 million budget? No, movies don't make 4 times their opening week's revenue unless it's unknown and becomes a rare sleeper hit. Ghostbusters 2016 is anything but a sleeper. China also won't screen the movie so it's screwed through and through.
>>72090080
how else are they gonna sell those useless mc toys when everyone wants the rowan ghost
>>72090113
>No, movies don't make 4 times their opening week's revenue
Pets is in the same fucking list and literally makes 4x its opening weekend you fucking shit
>>72090082
We've literally been talking about weekend gross the entire thread, you fucking half-wit.
>>72090163
But that is irrelevant anon when the opening gross is similar to pets and there is no conclusion of it flopping without a total gross. You're talking out of your ass you mongloid animal filth.
>>72088046
Perhaps there still is justice in this world.
>>72090162
Read again, 50 million is not its opening weekend, hell it only came out 1 week ago.
>>72090277
>Friday estimates have come in and Ghostbusters is right on track to match Mojo's expectations with an estimated $17.2 million Friday, pushing toward a weekend right around $46 million. While these aren't exactly blockbuster numbers given the film's $144 million production budget, they aren't exactly dire numbers either as director Paul Feig's films tend to deliver solid multipliers. In fact, the film's "B+" CinemaScore matches the CinemaScore for both Spy and Bridesmaids and is just below The Heat's "A-" and all three enjoyed solid legs. Ghostbusters is looking to deliver Feig's largest opening of all-time and the same goes for star Melissa McCarthy.
Why do you want it to flop anon?
>>72090193
The opening gross is less than Pets, which is in its second week and has had its revenue cut in half. Ghostbusters will see a similar or worse fall-off. It also has a budget twice that of Pets. It's a fucking flop and you're an idiot. End of line.
>>72090337

>>72090365

>>72090365
>This is his most profitable movie yet
It didn't make any profit yet and based on current numbers, it looks like it will barely break even.
>all of these pathetic shills damage controlling
Face it, your movie sucks. Feminism is a joke. Kill yourselves.
>>72090365
>This is his most profitable movie yet
Which doesn't mean much considering Ghostbusters is a summer blockbuster, and his past projects weren't even close to this size. Beating Bridesmaids, The Heat, and Spy aren't his measuring sticks. Beating Secret Life of Pets this week, and staying relevant the next week are, and he's going to fail both spectacularly.
Historically, summer blockbusters have been very front loaded, and with the entrance of Star Trek and Ice Age next week, Feig is on suicide watch.

>Spy - $65 million budget
>The Heat - $43 million budget
>Bridesmaids - $32.5 million budget
>Ghostbusters - $144 MILLION BUDGET
It doesn't matter that Ghostbusters had a bigger opening than the rest of his films because the rest of his films are significantly smaller than Ghostbusters.
>>72088046
>fat virgins/tumblr caring THIS much about a shitty movie as though its outcome deciphered the fate of the world
Jesus fuckig christ.
How can a fully animated movie like Pets have half the budget of an extended SNL sketch?
We'll see yet, Feig already said below 500 million is mostly a failure.
>>72088046
Opening weekend wasn't so great for an average to poor remake of a classic sci-fi/comedy with a hostile ad campaign towards the main consumer demographic of sci-fi/comedies? Wow, who knew?
>>72090365
Paul Feig himself said the movie needs to make AT LEAST $500 million to be considered a success and a $46 million opening confirms that it won't make that much money. It's over, your shilling isn't going to change anything.
I haven't checked yet...how many of the RT reviews bring up the controversy as a main point and/or are written by staunch liberal bloggers?
>>72088083
Sony was *tracking* it to go that way, but their projections were probably more like $100m+.
>>72090636
If it puts so much as a dent in the shitty remake of nostalgia properties trend, It'll be a huge victory for movie goers, so it's worth to be happy about it.

Movie jail, or director's jail, is that state of existence directors wind up in after a major flop. For a while, maybe for a very long while, no one wants to talk to them or give them any projects.

Movie studios have to share profits with movie theaters. Opening week they get the most money. Usually %90-%10. Every week after it changes by 10%. That's why opening week is so important.
Ghostbusters, which Sony was relying on to be a tent pole franchise that want to have spin off into at least 4+ more movies, shouldn't be losing to a bad kids movie that is already in its second week.

>Hollywood Accounting.
Sony loans the money to the production company. The production company uses that money to rent the studio, equipment and hire crew at inflated prices from Sony. Sony keeps a good chunk of the budget and gets to write everything off in taxes.
Budgets are wildly inflated. No movie ever makes money on paper. Every LOTR movie lost money, every Harry Potter movie lost money.
Look at recent films that by studio logic should never get sequels but do too figure out what actually is profitable.
100m over the "reported" big budget movie is in the break even area for a studio film.
200m is when they start considering sequels.
300m + would be considered a successes for Ghostbusters and would probably earn it a slightly lower budget sequel.

Looking at the stars, the director, genre, markets released, budget and box office history you can estimate what the studio was looking to get out of the movie.
300 million would be a mild success.
400 million would be a pretty decent show and would probably green light an immediate sequel.
Anything over 500 million would have started a Ghostbusters shared universe.
Current projections put the movie finishing its box office run at 200 million at best. It's not a very strong showing for them.

>>72093636
>What did American audiences mean by this?
You can roughly estimate how successful a film is from its opening weekend numbers. It is not very precise, but you get a range.
1. No matter how horrible the film is, in general most films will at least gross twice its opening weekend. This includes Fant4stic, Catwoman, and Elektra. This is basically the number of people who make the mistake of watching the film without knowing it sucked.
2. The average film can earn something like 3.5 times its first weekend numbers. At this level of popularity the important thing to stay profitable is to keep the costs low. Most films are in this range, if the audience expectations matches the film's quality. Both major blockbusters and indie films can be in this range. Even failures like Fant4stic was in it.
3. A surprise hit, one that was under-estimated and suddenly gain popularity AFTER the first week, can have a final gross number 6 times that of the first weekend box office. Or major properties like Star Wars might have packed theatres in the first weekend and as such under-estimated the number of people who wanted to watch it but couldn't.
Using this very rough guide, you can simply take the debut weekend box office of any film, and just multiply it by 3.5 to get a likely project of final gloss. It can be more or less, but it is useful as a guide. For GB2016, they have a filming budget of 144million. If they stuck to the average estimation then they get something like 150 million final gloss. That would not cover the production, let along advertising.

$51.6 million domestic
$111.9 million international (IIRC it wasn't shown in China)
Budget might've been $120 million but some estimate it might've been $200 million, so this did really badly.

Noone thinks it fails.
They just all say that Gardot might not be the right actress.
Most say she must be thicker, aka amazonian, aka more buff.

Went to an early morning showing of this movie today, paid $7. Wanted to just get it out of the way and try it.
It's not even PURE GARBAGE or anything like that. It's just forgettable and boring. The jokes (which are smug, juvenile, and ubiquitous) just don't work, the slapstick and physical comedy is just groan-inducing and annoying, the characters are one-dimensional and flat, the effects look like shit, and there's tons of padding everywhere because the plot is just so thin.
Kate McKinnon, to her credit, gets the ONE joke that actually made me laugh, and possessed Hemsworth is actually kind of cool, but overall the movie just feels like a 2-hour SNL sketch.
The cameos are awful. Murray and Aykroyd are as distracting as possible, utterly shredding the already-bad pacing. Hudson at least has the decency to show up at the very end of the movie just before the credits, where he can do the least damage.
Everyone will forget this movie happened in about a year, just like Oz the Great and Powerful.
Is Rolfe vindicated?
Will the media finally stop harassing him?

It made less than half of it's budget and will suffer massive falloff after this weekend.
Any merch that isn't Ecto Cooler is already on clearance.
The movie is a flop, anon. Accept it.
You're not getting your Ghostbusters Cinematic Universe.

Aside from the lead actress, and the shitty track record of DC movies, is there any reason to think this will be terrible? Or at least bad?

This is opening weekend, it's when a movie like this makes the bulk of it's money.
This ain't Deadpool man, Feig ain't making any more Ghostbusters movies anytime soon.

This is getting sad. Whether you liked it or not, it's a flop. We're not getting another, thank god.

These are the trends and practices that will take a hit and be seen as "not necessarily profitable" if this movie fails.
I think the controversy around it has gotten a bit ridiculous, but it's an objectively good thing if Sony takes a hit because of this.

90% of positive reviews were essentially "it's not as good as the original and the script falls flat, but I was laughing so hard there were tears in my eyes womyn are funny deal with it A++ 11/10".
Roeper seems to be the only one who actually gave his honest opinion, rather than considering "but what would people think if I didn't praise this feminist cinema?!"

I really want DC to put out good shit, they seem to be placing a bunch of failsafes in their movies to outweigh Hack Snyder's influence.

Batman v Superman is so bad DC may have tanked their entire cinematic universe already.
You can bet your asses WB Exec's are fucking terrified that Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman might flop. Batman v Superman's gross was frontloaded as fuck and dropped HARD, only meeting the absolute bare minimum of box office expectations. It was entirely sold on hype and goodwill from fans, and the movie was complete shit, and everyone knows it. Everyone saw that Sad Affleck meme video, and the cultural consensus is, by and large, that BvS sucked. Is anyone really excited for Suicide Squad or Wonder Woman? Even fucking Justice League? Do normies know that movie is coming out? They're already a billion in the hole for this franchise, and it's not taking off like they hoped it would.

This is everything wrong with the entire SJW movement in one picture.
Having it come from Dobson was just typical.

That was pretty bad. Every scene with efron or Kendrick was garbo. They ruined several jokes. I saw popstar with like 10 people in the theater and this was near sold out with idiots laughing every joke attempt

THIS was the target audience for the new film, by the way.
>>72097300
Not really
Gadot had a good presence in BvS in her scenes, but I'm not sure her accent can carry a full movie. If the rest of the cast is good and the story isn't "muh Martha"-tier , the movie may have a legit shot.

This is a bald middle aged man who draws fetish comics for a living.
He previously went all out for some children's show having a lesbian character and started drawing her and going on like he had a personal fanfic brewing.
Why are betacuck SJWs so fucking revolting? It's like they're all rapists and child molestors in the waiting but too scared to go through with it.
>>72097300
Not a fan of Gal Gadot at all and I really doubt she'll be able to carry an entire movie. I would love for there to be a genuinely great Wonder Woman movie, but I just don't see it happening anytime soon.
>>72097300
I'm not gonna say it's gonna flop this early, but it's gonna be hard. 2 weeks before release is The Rock's Baywatch. 1 week before release is the next Pirates of the Caribbean (which is 50/50 on success) and a new Seth Rogen comedy. Opening up against Wonder Woman is Bad Boys 3 (however, has not yet started filming) and Captain Underpants.
1 week after release is World War Z 2, which may not make that much if it's the same quality as the 1st. Then, 2 weeks after is Kingsman 2 and Cars (Fucking) 3. The following week has Transformers 5 and finally 4 weeks after is Despicable Me 3. Essentially, unless Wonder Woman is legitimately good, it has maybe 2 weeks to make all its money.
WB can't push it earlier to March or make it fight its own Kong: Skull Island. May is suicide by Marvel and The Rock. They could have put it to August and I'm not sure how many successful movies move release dates twice (as originally WW was gonna open up the week of Transformers 5).

All that's June. July is headed by Spider-man Homecoming and then 1 week later the next Planet of the Apes movie (which so far have been pretty great for a blockbuster. Waiting to see how much the loss of 2 of its 3 writers affect it.). Then, a week after that is Nolan's Dunkirk and to round out July is the Rock's Jumanji.
