Hollywood fearing worst box office summer in a decade

independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/hollywood-summer-box-office-prediction-a7732976.html

>However, the latest box-office predictions state the first weekend of May through to early September takings will be down five to 10 percent on last year.

>According to the Los Angeles Times, that’s a total loss of $450 million as the overall Summer gross in the US is expected to fall from $4.45 billion to $4 billion, the worst in a decade.

>While seemingly a relatively small percentage, for the entire cinema industry it could be quite disastrous. The publication states how many executives are worried there are just too many sequels and franchises overflowing the market.

I'm seeing failure everywhere in America. The malls are failing, retail stores are closing; K-mart, Sears, Gamestop, Payless, JC Penny, Macy's, and more. And now I'm seeing this article on Hollywood forecasting failure this summer as well. This doesn't surprise me, I work at the movie theater, and its really not all that busy even for new releases.

Everywhere in the US is failure. We're due for a major collapse, and we can't just keep blaming online shopping and videos for this. Americans are tapped out, our economy sucks, we don't have jobs, and we don't have enough money to spend on retail.

Clearly you guys need more immigration. It'll grow your economy and create jobs.

This goyim gets it

>physical stores are failing

Ftfy. Online changes everything.

This is nothing more than a meme. Online shopping is only 8% of all consumer retail spending. And most retail stores have an online presence as well.

And you can't even watch new releases online anyway, unless you want a shitty camera video. Americans are poor, they are spending all their money on inflated rent and food.

>hollywood is failing because of the economy
or maybe people dont want to sit through 3 hour theatrical renditions of NPR

The movies they're making are shit, that's why. How many great movies have there been this decade? I can name two off the top of my head, and only one was a blockbuster

I know this is satire, but this is exactly how liberals think.

Better question: can you find me just ONE television show made within the past 5 years with ZERO niggers or racemixing?

>I work at the movie theater, and its really not all that busy even for new releases.

A lot, including myself, have our home theaters. I always wait for the blu-ray releases in 3D as well. Haven't been to a movie theater since the first Hobbit movie installment.

Good. Let Hollywood reap what it has been sowing. I'm not settling for what they are producing

FilmFag here,the reasons for this decline are several, first , you have the streaming services like netflix and amazon prime, who basically are "friendenemies" because they basically buy a ton of movie rights from hollywood, and also, they developed their own "home made" movies. This change has the distributors of movies in the ropes ,because most people just wait a couple of months or even weeks to see the movies in their home.

More on the next post.

The Ranch.

...

movies are shit now

last time i went to the movies was 50 shades of grey because of my gf. she sucked my dick during it so it was worth it

OY VEY GOYIM, WHY DON'T YOU WANT TO WATCH MOVIES ABOUT HOW WHITES ARE EVIL AND HOW YOU SHOULD LET BLACKS FUCK YOUR WOMEN?

FUCKING RACISTS!

Movies are far lower quality today than even shit level TV shows. Movie theatres are expensive as FUCK. $12 a ticket, $30 for two drinks and popcorn. I don't see how anyone affords going to movies except for epics or extremely special occasions.

I'm actually thinking hookers might be cheaper.

Hollywood has been trying too hard to shove their politics into movies and it is making the stories suffer.

Same with TV and even video games.

This isn't a sign of economic collapse as it is media collapse.

Why would I want to spend $20-$30 going to a movie with someone just to get preached to?

Vikings?
Though I think it's heading off the deep end soon with Loki, of all possible characters, telling people not to kill Muslims (Ragnar also fucks a chinese chick, but she's a side-bitch)

>or maybe people dont want to sit through 3 hour theatrical renditions of NPR
Fucking this
>The movies they're making are shit, that's why. How many great movies have there been this decade? I can name two off the top of my head, and only one was a blockbuster
Exactly

Business people forgot that quality products are worth money.

We should get a new, more realistic pirate movie, or series of films. I would rather they not try to make a new Pirates of the Caribbean series movie in that style, to be a radical departure from the feel of the older movies, but want a director to try to explore realistic 1600s or 1700s piracy. I'll even take the 1500s or 1800s. A pirate film about ancient ones, such as the mysterious Sea Peoples, Liburnian/Illyrian piracy, and Phoenician pirates would be interesting, but they would probably not get made. Meanwhile, Vikings are the earliest period, most reliable box office draws of pirates depicted in film and television. Who else is very interested in pirates, but feels that the Pirates of the Caribbean series is less interesting?

I saw Mels movie at the movies. But I've sworn never to give those faggot scum a dime again.

Only niggers go to movie theaters now. That's why they're going to go the way of the shopping mall shortly. White people used to go shopping for fun on a Saturday and maybe catch a movie but with all the niggers around its so much easier to just watch movies at home and order everything from Amazon.

Fuck even when they do make a pretty good movie like Fury, they go and shit it up with some retarded Rambo ending. Fuckin faggots.

Have you seen the movies coming out? I just looked at a list, got beyond 600 before realising 99% are utter shit, same fucking synopsis, different titles. BUT THE WORST .. Some movie with queen latifa and Jada pinkett smith about a group of girls who go out and get drunk. How the fuck can they make so many shit films!???? It is ridiculous, pointless, retarded and whoever pays to watch this shit is brain dead.

>People don't want to watch movies anymore
>America is doomed

Exactly. I have 175 inch screen, a projector, a popcorn machine and all the soda I want. Going to the bathroom isn't a hassle either. Nice comfy chair, no stangers making noises or moving around etc....

a pirate video game would be the truth
IE a more modern, complex SM's Pirates.

Maybe if they started putting out actual good films instead of bullshit SJW propaganda. People still go out to see the good movies

People still go outside? Must be weird with no internet.

Gee. They Jew'd everybody out of their money and are now surprised that people have no more money left to spend.

>Online shopping is only 8% of all consumer retail spending.
According to results, shoppers now make 51% of their purchases online, compared to 48% in 2015 and 47% in 2014.

As online shopping accelerates, so does the use of smartphones to make purchases. The survey showed that 44% of smartphone users made buys through their devices, compared to 41% a year ago.

I just did a walmart pick up of all my groceries from online. was pretty cool it was free and i didnt have to even leave my car and i still get cheap shit. now even the poor can get store pick up. i think we are doing alright

>Americans are tapped out, our economy sucks, we don't have jobs, and we don't have enough money to spend on retail.

Our economy is going to be doing better from now on but there's another problem which no one has a solution for.

Inflation.

I used to take $1 and be able to buy any soda or drink at the shops. I see the same drinks, same sizes, but now they're $1.89. A $1 candy bar is now $2 and that isn't even king sized. I make $62k a year as a single male and while I "should" be above the average, I literally live like a poor person. I use coupons to shop, I don't go out to restaurants, I don't drink, I'm not sick yet my rent, car and insurance is 80% of my check alone. This isn't accounting for other necessities like electricity, heating, gasoline internet, food etc and only put $20 a month into savings. Realistically, I feel like I need to be making $100k a year to be living the comfortable life.

Inflation has gone out of control, even if we do get better jobs and better wages, that won't bring down the levels of pricing to what they used to be.

So close to saying season 1 true detective where they do a drugs bust on nigger boulevard

The old saying that every TV sitcom made since the 50's have (5) plot-lines.

I can't even remember the last time a white man shot a nigger in a movie. You seem to be onto something.

You have a spending problem or you live in a shitty expensive area. I can survive on $30k a year and that's while owning my own home.

Given that about half the US lives in rural or suburban areas, it makes sense that they'd do a lot of shopping online since there often aren't any stores nearby with nicer goods.

It used to be that they'd use catalogues to do mail order, which seems like a pain, so the advent of internet shopping has to seem like a godsend.

>Tfw you will never go to a packed mall or movie theater again
>tfw you will never experience a packed arcade and everyone is playing the newest street fighter or mortal combat game

I went to a packed arcade a couple weekends ago. Played X-men with random strangers while enjoying a beer. They exist, you just got to look for them.

>Inflation has gone out of control
kek. People honestly believe this.

Tis best to leave childish things for children, and fill your life with adult pursuits like building a home.

hollywood tries to shove its pc crap down peoples throats and people are sick of that shit they want to pay to get entertained

Like guardians of the galaxy volume 2 had no pc crap a main white lead a kick ass sound track and decent side stories.

Overall though im sick of the antiwhite narrative and id love to see hollywood and commiefornia die.

It is really tragic and you can see the budgets they have. Spending millions and millions. There should be some kind of law to prevent this stupidity.
There is one film I will be going to see, my gf is a huge, massive wonder woman fan. I just hope it's going to be decent.

Seriously, $12?
At my local Drive In, I can get in for $9 a ticket, and to bring my own food in

Last movie i watched was Alice in Wonderland with Johnny Depp. It was shit and no blowjob given.

No blowjob, no ticket!

This is after all the information age.

You mean the 99W Drive-in?

True literally every mall around me died out once more black people and ghetto people started showing up. Once the mall in the city closed down they went to the closest suburban mall and then they all started closing down too.

This is what happens when you gut the middle class and concentrate too much wealth in the hands of a few.

The goose that lays the golden eggs dies.

FUCK HOLLYWOOD AND THEIR GARBAGE BULLSHIT MOVIES

TRUMP SAID IT BEST,
THEY DON'T MAKE MOVIES LIKE THEY USED TO.

ENOUGH SAID

>2017
>watching hollyjew productions instead of anime

Not interested in movies anymore. Make better ones and let me buy them in 4k drm free online and I might watch them again.

shit, even reasonably priced 720p HD would be nice. but no they want 10 bucks for SD at LEAST. Fuq that

>The malls are failing, retail stores are closing; K-mart, Sears, Gamestop, Payless, JC Penny, Macy's, and more.
It's called the free market. Where the fuck would anyone get a game if Gamestop went under?!?!?

And how much is JCPenney, Gamestop, Macy etc. of all consumer retail spending? Not much for sure.

Nah lad, the Mission Tiki

The key to keeping out the blacks is higher entrance fees and having an excuse to check ID's. The theatre near where I grew up started a policy of not allowing anyone under 21 to get in without a parent after 6pm. Of course most of the niggers that caused problems were older than that, but none of them have ID. So the curfew rule was really just a thinly veiled reason to ask for ID which they knew none of the hood niggers had. They also started checking tickets a second time "randomly" as you walked to the movie. Most niggers are too stupid to keep track of their stubs so they'd get thrown out before even making it to their seats.

You don't want to live vicariously through superheroes? What the fuck is wrong with you all?

>Absolutely slaughter priests and brag about it
>We can't hurt Moslems though they're holy men and worthy of respect
If my windows were this transparent I'd be sued for killing birds.

>Movies are far lower quality today than even shit level TV shows.

and the TV shows are so bad that the devastated porn companies still manages to have better design
also tickets are expensive; theaters have tried to make up for declining attendance by $30 IMAX shit and extortionate concession prices
every movie is pushed to be PG-13 and watching a PG-13 movie in the theater on the weekend is having the experience ruined by teens

This is literally a mirror of the industrial revolution. A major shakeup in the way society operates. What the ultimate impact will be is unknown.

...

What about spics and wiggers that also cause trouble?

It's almost as if thinly-veiled liberal propaganda disguised as reboots and sequels no one asked for are terrible movies no one wants to see.

d'awww, thanks for the cute pic CIA. You guys can be alright sometimes.

>30k
>owning a home
Spread me on toast senpai cause I'm pure jelly

There was that Sea dogs series that i played recently which was exactly what you described. Very old school too but shitty quest design and timed main mission fucked it up for me so i never finished it. Other than that 10/10 would pillage caracas and rape women again

Just marathoned Preacher on Hulu. I was enjoying it but something seemed off. Suddenly hit me.

>This black chick was probably meant to be white.
Sure enough, I check online and she was white in the comic. I didn't even know it before watching, it purely felt like something was being used to push an agenda.

>I'm seeing failure everywhere

Same, it's what brought me here.

>51% purchases online

Jesus Christ this is disastrous. Let's see what the hell of a future we are going to have in the West.

No industry (mostly in China and other shitholes), no services since it's everything om internet, agriculture doesn't need that much of human capital since the machines are better...

Things are messed lads.

I want a happening to destroy the US, but I also know I'd be the first to die in a happening, and thus would not be able to see it. Any places where I can be /comfy/ and watch everything burn at the same time?

>watching movies

Read a book nigger

Like honestly I haven't been to the theatre in a few years. I saw some shit ass movie a while back cause some friends and I were bored.

I never look up new movies, don't care what's coming out. I don't miss it at all.

plus it's like 12 shekels to even get in, fuck that nonsense. As if I wanted to see the 50th remake of spiderman in the last 3 years anyways

This is why you need refugees. That way everyone can be a police officer or social worker and make money.

I think it's because they didn't make enough Holocaust movies with homosexual nigger main characters this year.

You mean people won't devote their entire lives to some shitty job and we'll need a new imaginary economic system? Tragic.

>The publication states how many executives are worried there are just too many sequels and franchises overflowing the market.

This is the reason right here. Last time I was at the movies every poster was for a sequel. They need to come up with some new shit.
Also I agree housing is way too expensive.

I remember in the late 90's and early 00's, it seemed that music across all genres in the first world were heading towards perfect synergy, a mindblowing mega genre. The height of musical achievement was on the horizon.

Then, the tide turned, seemingly for no real reason, now mainstream music is shittier than ever and genres are more splintered than ever.

In the 2000's, the same thing was happening with movies. Some truly incredible films were being churned out, it seemed like the media was really maturing. But fucking hell, look at it now. Foreign films are still going strong, at least.

Anyone else know what I mean?

homosexual niggers can't/won't impregnate the white female lead though.

GODDAMN SPURDO USE UR BRAIN

This happened to video games too, now that I think about it. There are still gems in all media but the overall quality is on a steady decline.

We already have enough entertainment media to last us a lifetime. I can look up some critically acclaimed show/movie/game I haven't enjoyed yet and enjoy it in the privacy and comfort of my own home for very little. Or I can pay much more to go have lequeesha and her screaming niglets ruin the movie which is already shit liberal propaganda. Why the fuck are they acting like this is some great mystery?

Are we from the same timeline because the popular music from that time period was shitty wigger music and is objectively the worse

At one point in time, Cinema was the financial backbone of America, that's why Hollywood got so big in the first place.

There are so many interconnected issues leading to this situation
>incompetent directors produce bad movies
Old movies though they were still propaganda were good at pushing it subtly
>men and women do not date anymore
I've been to many hang out spots and most of the time it's like a middle school dance girls and guys never intermingle or talk
>no money
Why see a movie if you don't have to, to fuck a girl or can't get a girl?

Where I live is doing fine. What part of America do you live in there friend?

how can Sup Forums make it more worser than they expect?

can we take ALL new """blockbusters""" and create 'leaks' about it all having homosexual storylines and subtle pro-pedophilia content?

i want hollywood to die sooner rather than later.

I'm crying

God we are so screwed

I have to agree on movies and videogames getting worse, especially movies. I remember going to the theater 1-2 times a month, but I stopper a few years back beacuse I got disappointed everytime.

TV-series have gotten better since the 90s though.

they haven't made anything worth seeing in years. And driving to a physical store, lol.

>industry insults half of the american population
>Expects growth

>Garbage portions of America fail
>Bad

I've got no problem with burning the trash

thinking the fumes won't be toxic is a lie

Hollywood is a international film industry not a American one. We need a real american film industry that makes films for americans. Every country in the world has this except Americans.

B-b-but Obuma made the economy recover! He gave us jobs! We have more welfare!

>NPR renditions
kek

i'm still pissed that the degenerates in hollywood destroyed my childhood with all of these disgusting reboots

It's almost as if Hollywood has been trash for the past 50 years and it took too long for retarded people to realize that.
Let everything crash, even up to western civilization, who cares anymore.

If I'm going to the movies I'm expecting to spend 15 dollars on my ticket, then close to 20 dollars on popcorn and a drink. Also most movies are dogshit these days
