Not this movie since it didn't get released there because "witchcraft" but I imagine you can tack on an additional amount taken off the top by China in order for films to be shown in their theaters.
>150 million to film
This is likely a gross understatement. It's saturated in Hollywood CGI (TM) and if you know anything about production-studios they ALWAYS understate their budget, ESPECIALLY on flops.
This cost at least 170 million to make, potentially up t 200 million if they were conservative and cut corners.
Market budget was 100m if you care to look it up. And Sony said they lost like 74m , so your estimates is pretty shit, bro.
surce
Cause they would have no reason to lie about that.
Well there are no facts to support that they are.
Google it
If it bothers you that much stop talking about it.
There are a ton of over hyped films that never made back what was spent on them
No, this entire post is wrong.
I agree in that the movie bombed and that studios sometimes lie about the money they use but ''always'' is a retarded statement
So you're talking out your ass ;)
Why do people take numbers out an ass thread seriously?
>heaven
Studio numbers are always manipulated to be a small loss, no matter the movie. That's why directors who negotiate for a share of the profits always walk away with nothing
Ghostbusters wasn't hyped at all. It was a shit movie and they knew it was shit, so they played the victim card to at least recoup some of their losses. If it was four equally shitty leads that were males, like Adam Sandler Kevin James David Spade and Rob Schneider, it would've fucking BOMBED on rotten tomatoes and nobody would have gone to see it.
Literally every number there is publically available
Sources, please.
I'm kind of glad were getting an onslaught of Harley Quinns, and not this.

Not one credible source, and some of them have no relation to the movie.
Don't you have some financial reports?
>N-not credible!
Wew lad.
Nigger, you start off with wikipedia.

How much was Thor paid?

Wew. Lad.
So how bad did this hurt sony, who got fired, and will they ever learn?
It hurt Amy Pascal's credibility
She won't be fired
Hopefully she will never be in a position of power
wikipedia isn't considered "not a source" by your teachers not because it isn't credible, but because its an aggregator. It does, on the other hand, list sources of it's information.

>>HURR DURR WIKIPEDIA IS AN INVALID ACADEMIC RESOURCE
you're on goddamn Sup Forums you moronic fuck, you don't need to fucking cite your arguments from peer-reviewed scholarly sources in triplicate
jesus fuck
wikipedia's fine
I thought Pascal left after ASM2 and the email leaks?
Nigger you LINK BACK to the fucking source, of which there are usually multiple, it's a place of compiled information with sources.
Christ this fucking board is a social experiment on density
wiki isn't considered an academic source because anyone can edit it, not because it's an aggregator
Do you guys think Feig will ever get work after this?
>200 million to market
[citation needed]
I hope not. His attitude towards film and men in general is just disgusting.
Nope. Sourcing is all about giving credit.
Someone will give him 20 mil to make a female led comedy, the marketing won't mention Ghostbusters and it'll be a moderate success. He'll be alright.
>3 white leads are scientists
>black lead is a janitor
why were SJWs jumping on the back of this again?
do you understand how taxes work?
You get taxed on INCOME, not on LOSSES.
do you? you get taxed on GROSS not NET GAIN
They lost tens of millions, why bother exaggerate it? Now the shitposting has no chance of being funny.
>WE BE GRILLIN
IRONIC NIGGER SPEAK WAS ALREADY A THING IN THE 90S?
SJWs don't really care about social justice, just scoring points with their peers.
What's even more confusing is the amount of theaters showing Ghostbusters last week was 400+.
This week, Sony decided to put it in MORE theaters, so now it's 1000+, which means the studio had to pay MORE for that.
Seriously, there better be a documentary on how bad this movie failed.
What's his sentence in movie jail gonna be?
That's not how taxes work. In some cases loses can even be a deduction.
Also it's alot more complicated than that.
GHOSTBUSTERS AND FEMINIST/SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIOR FASCISM!!!FACT!!!
