It's only been in theaters for 2 days. Now that there's tons of positive reviews out there and people have seen it and told their friends/family to see it, it'll make back the rest of the costs over the course of the week.
>>72108796
This is a bait thread. Even so, I'd like to point out that it opened 2nd at the box office to a movie that's already been out, made under $50 mil on a budget of $150 mil + $100 mil in advertising, and isn't even going to screen in China. Girlbusters is dead, bury it.

>over the course of the week
>The week
Movies make the bulk of their earnings on the weekends, you mongoloid, and usually the biggest individual gross is the first weekend.
Ghostbusters came out in a week with 0 (zero) competition and still failed to take #1, and in the next two weeks, it's being pitted against several big ticket openings.
It's fucked.

Yeah no. It has a 73% overall and it's certified fresh. Suck it.
>>72108957

Remember how they said the film would be so mediocre that two weeks after its release nobody would give a shit about it or even remember it?

>>72109297

>>72109446
Top critic score is 57% and the certified fresh label is an editorial decision since it doesn't meet the criteria (a steady score of 75% or higher). It hasnt even earned the label.
>>72109440
Maybe if it didn't have this huge stigma around it for like half a year before its opening weekend it would've done better, but instead it did pretty good all things considered and manbabies like yourself are mad as fuck. Now that people know it's actually a good movie they're going to see it, they were just cautious cause of all the trailer backlash.

That's all factual.
RT's own rules.
>>72109624
What he said is exactly what analysts and faggots on here have been saying for months.
>>72109624
That's all you could come up with?
>>72109383
You're right. We need to post more interracial pornography. It's the only cure!
Whoever said a sequel is happening is obligated to make that comment. Saying "Oh I dunno..." isn't good PR, plain and simple. This is common practice, and the same was said for movies like Terminator Genisys or Green Lantern.
Here are the facts we know:
1. It's estimated at a $46 million opening weekend.
2. It didn't manage to hit #1 at the Box Office.
3. It will be competing with Star Trek: Beyond (currently getting very positive reviews) and Ice Age: Collision Course, next week.
4. It will not open in China.
5. Paul Feig claims it will need to make $500 million to break even.
Now even if Feig is bullshitting, and for argument's sake it actually needs to make $350 million, that is still very difficult at this point. With a $46 million opening, Ghostbusters 2016 will need to have strong legs to have a prayer of hitting that mark, and unfortunately for Sony, it probably won't.
There won't be a sequel.
my gf went and saw it with her friends when i refused, they are all purveyors of schlock and even they said it was 6/10 at best
>Ghostbusters was beaten in its debut week by some animated movie about Pets
It will have a monumental drop off in its second week too.
>>72109604
I want the blonde and the ginger to strap on fuck me, pig roast, over a pile of unsold Ghostbuster blu rays until my prostate can't take it anymore and I cum everywhere.
they can just call off GB2 anytime they want, so of course they're going to try to immitate the press of a succesful movie to try to save face.
>>72109565
Sounds like you don't have an actual response.
>>72109689
>they are all purveyors of schlock
what did he mean by this?
>>72109628
Like I said, they didn't see it cause of the stigma. Now people know it's actually one of the best comedies to come out this year now that the GrapplerGrumps rumors have been dispelled.
>>72109595
Have any source anon?
>>72109733
Sounds like you can't handle the bantz.
>>72108957

So basically, if you're looking for a comedy movie with lots of positive reviews and praise from all kinds of critics, your only choice is Ghostbusters.
>>72109772
It may be certified fresh, but look at the viewer score.
It's not getting good word of mouth in Los Angeles (fairly large market), I can tell you that much.

>>72109519
All the reviews from normal people, as in non-SJW, are at best lukewarm towards the movie. And quite a bit are turned off and angry at what they did with the franchise.
You don't have to be a woman-hating MRA to not want to watch a movie that plays out like a horrendously long SNL skit with 'witty' one-liners every other sentence. It's a "horror" "comedy" with no horror or comedic moments. The entire advertisement basis for the film was "ITS GHOSTBUSTERS WITH 4 WOMEN INSTEAD, IF YOU DON'T SEE IT THEN YOU'RE SEXIST"
If they wanted gender equality they could have had a mixed cast so as not to make it so overtly obvious about their agenda pushing. OR they could have just not been such rabid shits in their advertising where they demonized anyone who showed disinterest in this inevitably shitty reboot.
>>72109831
kill yourself. I'd rather see Central Intelligence or Secret Life of Pets before I'd see this. Fuck you and your shit taste
>>72109835
>but look at the viewer score.
For what purpose? It's clearly being downvoted like crazy by pissed off MRAs just like it was on imdb. They didn't even see the movie, they're just butthurt cause it has women in it. The only score that matters is all the money they've made, and they're already halfway to recuperating what they spent making it.
>>72109862
I don't need to, your failure at shilling is hilarious.
>>72109831

Are shills actually going this hard, or are there dedicated feminists on /tv/? I don't fucking get it.

Yeah right. Next you'll be saying that Rotten Tomatoes reviews are SJW shills.
>>72109988
Budget was 144 million, I think. So they're not halfway there.
Also, just look at the reviews. Look at THIS reviewer. Even your own kind is turning against you.

>>72109831
The Secret Life of Pets is a comedy that got tons of positive reviews. Face it, Ghostbusters is fucked.
>>72110017
Maybe some people are willing to accept when they were wrong rather than doubling down? I thought the movie looked horrible and expected it to fail just like everyone else, but it turned out that people mostly enjoyed it and it's going to be a small success. There's no need to bury my head in the sand and be in denial about how things turned out
I think ghostbusters will regain a slight momentum as the week passes unlike most other movies. There's too much talk about it, curiousity will get the better of those who were holding out and it will steadily make it's way to 80 or possibly even 100 mil by next week
My prediction is that in a month it will do over 200 million just in domestic markets. This won't be a flop

Daily reminder a movie has to make at least twice its budget domestically to be considered a break-even.
Profit is not calculated by box office gross - budget. Budget doesn't exclude marketing costs, which usually equal budget, and box office gross doesn't include the fact the studios only keep about 50% of that- the distributors keep the rest. Internationally studios keep even less.
>>72110269
how much is sony paying you? do you really need money that bad you have to shill
>$144 million budget
>$46 million opening weekend
>exponential drop-off from here on out
>Banned in China
It'll barely break $120M.
>>72108796
It's hilarious how irrelevant this movie has been since it came out. It's like its only worth was all the hype and bullshit campaign, a couple of days from now and it will be barely remembered by anyone. I really don't expect this to even reach 200 millions, at least I hope this is the end of Feig's and Leslie Jones' careers
>>72110269
It it doesnt double its money by the end of next week then it wont get a 3rd.
Gender fluid fem STEM major here...I hated this movie.
I sincerely hope it makes tons of money and starts a whole franchise just to piss off more butthurt fanboys.
Then I hope other directors will see the success and remake other franchises with all-female casts. The resulting shitstorm will be hilarious
>>72108796
What are Anita and Zoe up to these days?
Just came back from the theater, for a movie about empowering women, there were tons of cliches, like black woman is angry, etc. There isn't much depth to any of the characters like other people said, just one line quips. I'd have to give this an honest 5/10, some things were funny, but it was incredibly mediocre.
>>72110327
Sorry, budget doesn't "include" marketing.
Here's a good female-drive movie from Sony to illustrate this: one of the most notable bombs in recent years, but on paper it seemed like a hit: girl with the dragon tattoo
Production budget = 90 M
Marketing = 129 M
Total cost = $219 M
Domestic Gross = 98 M
Domestic Net = 53 M (what the studio kept from american and canadian theatre chains, the rest go to the theatres)
Foreign Gross = $132M
Foreign Net = $54 M (what the studio kept from internationa theatre chains, note the proportion is less)
Total Revenue = 108 M
Revenue - Cost = Profit
108 - 219 = $110,000,000 Loss
For those of you wondering, I got the numbers from this wikileaks document when they were calculating if they should make a sequel. Obviously the answer was no:
https://wikileaks.org/sony/docs/03_03/MKTGFIN/Green%20Light%20Memos/GLMEMOS/FY2015/GL%20Meeting%20Spreadsheets/Girl.Fire.x
Note this is not Hollywood accounting, which is something different- that's when a movie tries to make a hit look like a bomb on paper in order to not pay taxes or points on a deal. this is a plain old bomb
>>72109831

The movie cost around 144 million to make, and probably another 75 million at most for advertising (they rarely tell us this).
Even with all that, when you factor in the 45 million they've already made, and how much money they've made from brand integration (product placement) and licensing deals (drinks, toys, ect) I seriously doubt the movie will need to clear more than 150 million to be profitable. Love it or hate it, everyone knows this is going to make tons of money.

It'll probably make its budget back, which is lower than any investor wants, ESPECIALLY IF dan Aykroyd wants to make a ghostbusters remake. I don't think it's good enough to stay in theaters the time it'll need to to really turn a profit worth talking about

Not a chance, I think this turd might make 200 millions at most. But that's it, the whole "controversy" bullshit marketing campaing was non-existent outside of the US, anywhere else it's simply a shitty remake with an awful trailer getting mixed reviews, no one is interested in it. Also a couple of really big movies coming out on the next few weeks will make it impossible to even keep these mediocre numbers. It's over guys

>imagined
Hey guys, let's be real for a moment. Critics always say it has nothing to do with the all female cast. I think they're right; there are many valid criticism for this piece of shit. I also don't think that if they did have a problem with the female cast, that would automatically make them sexist, or invalidate all of their legitimate other complaints. So I have no problem admitting what I never see other people saying -- that yes, indeed the fact feminists have forced their political agenda into this fucking movie in such a huge way IS a problem, and just one more of the many reasons why this movie is fucking garbage. I wish more people would stop acting like this aspect doesn't matter, when it's actually rather important, arguably the most important thing. Afterall, if nothing else the public can be expected to come away with this movie with one thing in mind: that all female casts (feminist takeovers / appropriation of white/male/nerd culture) are, in general, absolutely fine no matter what. That's wrong.

It's not my fault if you can't handle being called what you are.

Maybe next time don't say bullshit like "women aren't funny" or "i don't wanna see this movie" and you won't end up with your foot in your mouth when opening weekend rolls around and shatters your small-penis sexist world view.

Just because you close your eyes to the truth doesn't mean it's not there.
This has nothing to do with victimization. Do you really think there would have been this much outrage if the movie was just released and having marketers/paid reviewers ignoring the comments about the all female cast?

speak for yourself I happen to love games.
And yet I didnt throw a tantrum just because Pixels exists.
>>72112663
But it was. Controversy=free media. Same thing happened with Mad Max. Guys were already into it. The studio came up with the idea of calling a a feminist movie which caused a minor internet shitstorm. Had it worked the way they wanted it to, it would have been genius. Not only was the news story giving them free marketing, but it was also trying to make women feel as if it was their duty to go see the film. it just didn't quite work.

Again. This movie raked in 45 mil cash money in ONE weekend, this next week will atleast double that and probably triple it by the end of mext weekend. Every week week after that it'll keep raking in dough of about 50 mil like it did this week.
So lets do the math. Every weekend we can expect 45 to 50 mil, for 10 weeks, looking at 500 mil for just weekends, factor in about 30 mil for during the week for 10 weeks and that's about 300 mil so we're looking at 800 mil gross plus international so we're probably breaking a billion.

Having the director of the film calling haters misogynists and telling them to go fuck themselves on social media is so ridiculously unprofessional it makes you wonder why he was hired in the first place.
You let a film speak for itself. They knew what the response was going to be well before they published the details. And everyone promoting the film handled it as childishly as the people mindlessly spouting female hate everywhere.

>>72112975
Having fun playing a game and experiencing a story are different things. There's nothing in the video games that pixels used that could have been ruined because nothing was there besides memories of playing a fun game. Movies / things with narrative have a higher standard because it's inherently more thoughtful and contemplative than something like pacman, and even if you aren't comparing it to the original, to see something of mediocrity hitch it's wagon to a reputation of a movie that was worthy of such reputation, solely for the purpose of money and creating a cinematic universe can be taken as offensive because it abuses things that we've seen and learned from, unlike a video game with no story where there is hardly anything to ruin.
>Nobody liked the Robocop remake
>Nobody liked the Total Recall remake
>Everybody quickly forgot about Point Break
Face it cucks, CISbusters would have just been another failed reboot to be forgotten about if SJWs hadn't answers Sony's call to defend their shitty movie. Literally no one cared until libtards drew battlelines all over it, deflecting any criticism of yet another soulless reboot. Now Sony is just hoping it can make back it's budget. Naw, the deserve this and I'm glad this movie is dying on the vine. Hopefully Hollywood will learn a lesson from this and not pander to retards who don't actually care about the movie and just want to push an agenda.
This is a blow against feminism but it didn't have to be. SJWs are retarded because they don't know how to pick their battles and only alienate potential allies. No one gave a fuck before this marketing campaign but the fans are commited to seeing it fail.
Pic related, we weren't the retards who politicized this, it was feminists going full retard over film that's 50% queef jokes.
Seriously if you're going to be stupid enough to stake something as important as a social movement on a fucking movie at least make it a good one of Titanic level quality, not something in the same league as Meet the Spartans.

Well your point is stupid. First of all if your going to try to reboot a classic, there is a very good chance you will get fanboy rage. Especially when you drastically change the movie.

You're mad because nobody got angry when pixels used old video games as a schtick and then when ghostbusters came out people got mad that they were remaking something they loved. I'm explaining the difference, ghostbusters is a story, pixels stuff we're all video games. You can't ruin a video game like tetris so nobody cared, you can however try to trick people by using the ghostbusters reputation to sell a mid tier product as a social issue when you realize you spent too much money on a lackluster product. And tricking people is wrong

>Lol do you think thats uncommon?
Maybe not in a world where grown men send death and rape threats to women on social media to enforce their privilege.
>Thats my opinion and the opinion of a lot of fucking people.
Yes. A lot of mysogynists. Whose opinions have 0 value in the real world.
>Is that a good thing?
Comedy movies (especially modern ones) get terrible reviews from critics and often very low scores on Rotten Tomatoes. So yes, it's fantastic news.
>so you are telling me Sony is stupid?
No, they're smart. That's why they made 46 million dollars in under 2 days.
>A shitty reboot of ghostbusters is in no way capable of ruining someones childhood.
