Why are so many big budget movies bombings so fucking hard?
Is the movie industry finally dying?

Because budget =/= quality.

There were a lot of big budget shit movies in the past that still did well

Good. People are getting tired of Hollywood's regurgitated trash and constant subtle Zionist propaganda and political leanings. Also Hollywood has apparently forgotten that you have to actually make a GOOD movie if you want people to see it rather than just shit out a cgi assfest and top it up with marketing budget.

Movies nowadays are pretty trash as far as the blockbusters go.

can you imagine all the great quality movies that could have been made with the marketing budget alone of one of these "blockbusters"?

>take old franchise
>throw hundreds of millions of dollars at it
>hope to make a billion to break even

the movie industry is not dying, but they obviously need to re-evaluate their strategy.

Less and less Millennials are going to the theaters because its too fucking expensive and they'd rather watch it for free on their computer
If they don't pull them in the industry will likely fall apart

>Why are so many big budget movies bombings so fucking hard?
because it's fucking warcraft, independence day, ghostbusters, tarzan, and bvs

Normies are starting to pay attention to reviews

Because they're not special effects when they're in every fucking scene. They're just effects.

>Here's 200 mil, a green set, a shit plot, have fun cunse!

i think it's more about how people are going to the movies less in general. they only seem to bother with absolute biggest ones, not just the regular big budget ones.

Oh, its all piracy's fault.

Wow, here I was expecting some sort of valid insight.

I think the reality is most of the movies released this year (and decade) have been awful. While, sure, 95% of everything has been shit, the 5% hasn't really manifested itself as whole movies either. There were parts of interstellar that were great, but the movie itself was garbage. Which is the case for just about every movie released this decade, interstellar being the most extreme example.

ID5 only bombed because of all those misogynist shitlord pissbaby MRA virgin brobabiez.

>Why are so many big budget movies bombings so fucking hard?
The four quadrant demographic system is killing movies.

Trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator results in mediocre films.

not all piracy's fault obviously, but it's part of it. quality of and ease of access to home movies are much better too, which i think is one reason. quality of film has little to do with opening on box office anyway, more to do with marketing, and companies seem to be more selective when it comes to which movie to push more.

Hopefully they learn throwing money at something does not compensate for a lack of quality. Nah what am I thinking

Best example of this, off the top of my idea, was ID4. ID4 put asses in seats because the first half was humanity getting it's shit absolutely wrecked, with a huge budget. Something movies really didn't do before and haven't since.

ID5 being "LOL WE READY DIS TIEM" just negates the main draw of the first one.

Movies has become so much more easily available, with torrents and streaming and all that the youth watch a lot more movies than they did in the past. They get the general idea, they become tired of all the lack of originality of mainstream movies much faster than previous generations. And while this going on the industry makes even more tendentious and unoriginal movies than they once did because they think it's safer.

Man, this has been the worst year for blockbusters in a long time

>quality of film has little to do with opening on box office anyway, more to do with marketing, and companies seem to be more selective when it comes to which movie to push more.
Marketing is inversely proportional to quality. Old men strategy of get the people in before word of mouth spreads. Old men don't realize twitter is a thing and word of mouth spreads at FTL speeds, thus box office bombs. Literally all there is to it.

Because Hollywood isn't trying anymore

And everyone is not interesting in reboots and remakes anymore

Take a look at Inside Out from last year, original film that make 900 million at box office

It made as much as fucking Batman vs Superman and why? Because they put some fucking effort into making something good and not just a cash grab

i think the appeal of "going to the movies" slowly loses its appeal when everyone watches movies and television shows at home all the time anyway. i'm just waiting for movie companies to either cut severally, diversify or go bankrupt.

>quality of film has little to do with opening on box office anyway

I disagree. The huge movies of the past were marketed as unique experiences, because they were unique experiences. Shit you've never seen before and won't see anywhere else. Whereas for the entirety of this decade, marketing has been all about trying to polish turds. People pick up on that.

Ghostbusters, for instance, was all about promising people something they'd not only seen twice before, but in such a meaninglessly different way that literally no one gave a fuck. Whereas the first was aggressively unique... and the second was bullshit.

>cunse

>spoiling every good scene in the trailers
So sick of this. I ignored everyone and clung to my hype of independence day 2 being amazing. I watched the trailer with the gravity being turned off a hundred times so ready for more destruction porn like the original. So let down. So freaking let down. It had its moments like every Dabid's dad scene, but it felt smaller scale somehow. They didn't even get to fire their earth protection guns because the stupid president didn't just say fire. Ten....... nine........... eight........ sevvvv ah shit they blew it up.
I'm avoiding every trailer I can from now on

>I disagree.
>marketing has been all about trying to polish turds. People pick up on that.
that's what i mean. so we agree.

all of those were Disney

>Pixar
>effort
No. Pixar makes formulaic tripe but it gets a free pass because like Harry Potter it's kid friendly and people "grew up with it."

All of those movies are trash

I can't imagine what kind of subhuman retard would actually enjoy them

>Why are so many big budget movies bombings so fucking hard?

Because the peole behind them are always trying to pander to those soppy cunts in society who seem to get offended at literately everything.

The summer movie season has always been a shitshow. Viewers are just wising up to it.

But Based Cruise is going to save this year

This. Marketting and getting asses into seats is all that Hollywood cares about now. Not raw talent or originality.

Does this movie actually have a decent chance of being good? Haven't heard much about it at all.

Why did the cgi in Independance Day 2 look so fake compared to the classical 90s destruction of the white house which still to this day looks 100% realistic

ID2 had some shitty red sky in one scene with CGI buildings falling to the ground. It looked so fake and computer generated compared to the first.

Also like you said there hardly was any city destruction.

Watch the trailer if you dont mind being spoiled by the second act.

It has a Mission Impossible feel with Cruise going undercover and wearin a uniform to break into a facility. Looks really comfy but also looks like it has amazing action and car chase scenes.

Someone name me at least 5 good movies to look forward to for the end of this year?

Agreed. Inside out was terrible and overhyped as fuck.

So much of the stuff in the first Independence Day was practical effects using miniatures. They don't seem do want to do that anymore so we get CGIfests instead

Blame it on the millenials. Making the genaration X suffer from a midlife crisis.

>Batman v Superman

Didn't bomb. You're clearly being manipulated by the Disneyfag rumor that it needed to clear $1 billion to break even, which is nonsense based on shit-tier bloggers posing as financial analysts.

If it makes you feel better, you can swap it out with Alice: Through The Looking Glass, which absolutely DID bomb.

I just watched the original last night and the only shot that looks truly bad is the statue of liberty in the water with the huge ship in the background. The ship looks great, just the statue looks garbage. The opening shot of the ship flying in looks a million times better than any of the shots of the ship in 2. The battles were funner too. I couldn't tell what was human or alien ships in the 2nd. The absolute worst thing about the movie though was that NO ONE dies (aside from the few select people) they introduce like 5 pilot characters and each one gets a happy ending and a mate. Don't even get me started on black dudes acting

At least Nolan isnt using CGI for his new WW2 war film

People are too busy catching Pokemon this summer to care about more shitty remakes.

I am 22 and have never played a pokemon game in my life

S T O P_S H I L L I N G_A N Y _T I M E

fpbp

alot of big budgets haven't been worth it the last few years

Good for you?

Anyone looking forward to the Jumanji remake?

>tfw I shill for Kino for free.

Same here. I'm 22 and I never even owned a nintendo console. Or any console. x86 was my nanny.

New Ghostbusters.
Cinemas are empty on first screening.

Pokemon Go movie flopping domestically and saved by China fucking when?

Why would I go to a theater and pay $20+ for a mediocre movie when I've got a virtually unlimited amount of movies, shows, and videogames right in my own home?

Even in the event that a genuinely good movie does come out, I can just wait 6 months and watch it at home for a fraction of the cost. Hell I can even watch 3D movies in my own virtual theater with my VR headset.

>"LOL WE READY DIS TIEM"

But they weren't tho. They got their shit pushed in even harder.

Think of it simply: would YOU want to see those movies in a theater? If not, then it is not far-fetched to reason that other people don't want to, either.

Movies are fucking expensive to go to - I would have to reason that it is worth the money and time (previews take up so much time). Most movies are out within 6 months or so in other avenues so that is a more appealing option to me.

So the BFG is a truly hugmongous giant, right?
