Remakes.

Power rangers will without a doubt be on the 2017 list the only question is how big will the flop be.

>Miss Sloane

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>Bloomberg BTFO

aww man kubo and the two strings doesn't deserve to be in with that shit

Well thankfully the dudes that created it are literally funded by Nike so they can never die.

>reveneue is higher than cost
>loss is positive

Most of those aren't even bombs.

there is advertising costs plus the distributor takes money plus the cinemas get half of every ticket.

I haven't seen a single one of those movies and never will. Feels good, man.

>this is a Sup Forums makes up bullshit figures thread

>star trek beyond
>budget: 185 mil
>gross: 343 mil
>still lost money

This is a clear bookmaking "loss" instead of an actual bomb.

how in the fuck was ghostbusters that expensive

>dat babby level grasp of basic business

12 year olds are not allowed on here.

Had to pay for those big time SNL stars y'know

rule of thumb: movie needs to gross twice the production budget to be profitable.

(((They))) also never tell you that they always recoup those costs and more in the home market. When was the last time they ever said how many copies they sell to Redbox or license it to be on HBO/Showtime/whatever and Netflix and pay per view and everything else?

Meaning they just don't want to pay the people that made the movie? I heard they do that.

how come the adjusted for inflation loss is lower than the nominal for Pete's Dragon?

>2016 MOST BOMBS EVER

Damn, even the gun control thrillers aren't raking in the dough anymore

you are welcome to research the facts on the internet. You will find that my statement is accurate.

I don't know how it's everywhere else but at least here in Finland the ticket prices just keep getting higher and higher

what goes through their mind when they spend 100 mil+ making a movie? do they really think they will make a profit off that?

why spend hundred of millions on a-list actors, effects, and advertising, when they could make a cheaper film with a good script and have it be a bigger success?

that is probably true. I did by no means intend to defend the movie industry. I just wanted to explain how the losses are calculated.

Production budgets keep being over inflated
Box office revenue keeps increasing in terms of breaking even

This will literally cause the movie industry to implode, which is why they're selling it to China

DERP WHAT IS TAXIS??!?!

You can read about this on box office mojo FAQ. Only half of box office $ goes to the studio and marketing is never included in production budget.

MEANWHILE IN THE REAL WORLD, GUNS ARE FUCKING AWESOME

what did you say?

CGI ghost dance scene in Times Square with police and firefighters got cut

>Ben Hur
>94k gross at 100k budget
more like Ben HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR amirite

>Miss Sloane

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

>Failed Hillary porn

Why are the viewing public so fickle?

Except if you yourself actually researched those numbers, you'd know the speed at which money is recouped is a huge factor. The 50% rule is median. The first weeks gross goes more to the studios than 50% and decreases after that. It typically starts at 75% and decreases week after week as studios have to essentially pay to have theaters keep the film instead of chucking it for a new release.

The numbers people throw out are just random guesses, not actual figures.

A bomb is a film that makes significantly less box office than prod. budget.

Tip: Studios used to see simply breaking even in the US as the point of a successful flick. Movies make as much in the home market as they do in the theaters most of the time.

I went and saw Gods of Egypt. I tried really really hard to like it.

It was just mediocre in every facet.

The only cool part was the re-imagining of Ra rising and setting the sun over the earth, and protecting it from Apophis

Too bad the rest of the re-interpreted and changed greek myths were really boring. The whole script was fucking garbage.

>Movies make as much in the home market as they do in the theaters most of the time.

That's a lie.

>try to identify the perfect formula for "successful movie"
>people get bored of it
>KEEP DOING IT AND BITCH ABOUT THE AUDIENCE BEING TOO ENTITLED

It was for Pete's dragon

Only one I liked here was War Dogs

Kubo had a shtity story but it deserved better.

>Ghostbusters
>JJ Trek
>Gun Control: The Movie

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

How on earth Miss Sloane had a such low budget?

I thought gun control was a hugely popular topic in the Jewlywood.

Because there's dozens of movies coming out at the same time. People aren't starved for choice like they were forty years ago

Big movies became too expensive to make, so the creative control is lost to a bunch of fat cats who stopped watching movies back in the eighties, when they fucked their first hollywood kid actor.
It's not just a problem in movie industry, wealth accumulation and limited market space is fucking up almost everything. Capitalism is simply great, isn't it?
Well at least the chinks are now getting wealthy, so they're a giant viable market for this bullshit to go on for another decade.

how much of creative accounting was used by the Hollyjews tho?

Star Trek Beyond wasn't great but I really hope it didn't kill the franchise.

I totally forgot about Miss Sloane
I liked the trailer.

Does gun control play a huge part in it?

No one knows since no one has seen it.

Jayla was wasted on that movie, character and design wise

Big Fucking Giant was this year? And who the fuck asked for a Ben Hur remake starring Morgan Freeman with a mop wig.

>Director: John Madden
as in like, the football guy?

Retards think a movie that makes 300 million is a bomb just because it was expensive to make.

Entire plot revolves around her taking down the NRA.
What do you think?

YOU GOTTA GET THE MOVIE IN THEATERS
TO SCORE A TOUCHDOWN

>decorated college player
>gets drafted in the NFL
>becomes a super bowl winning coach
>becomes an all time great play by play guy
>makes a video game franchise
>now directing movies

IS THERE ANYTHING THIS MAN CANT DO?

FLY

except for the vidya, that is Malick's life.

It's literally described as a "gun control thriller"

Lucas and Spielberg predicted it. It will only get worse.

Oof
I didnt really look into it. The trailer looked like it could be an ok thriller.

Im not super pro-gun nowadays, but id probably be too triggered to watch it.

It was gonna be part of the Hillary parade/agenda roll out

George "Strange Magic and Red Tails" Lucas predicted it, huh?

Nu-Trek is a fucking abomination.

Then compile statistics using all the relevant information instead of having numbers that may or may not indicate a profit.

shut up, Beyond was great

>remakes
>sequels
>going to the theater has become a terrible experience

This. Honestly, I don't really care anymore. I just want JJ to stop raping the corpse.

It was much worse than "Into Darkness"

Anton killed himself out of shame for being part of it

No singles policy

>Simon Pegg flick
>great

L O L

lol

I'm really holding out hope for the new TV show. If it sucks then the franchise is essentially dead, which is sad. It's already on life-support.

>$343,500 gross
>ONE OF THE WORST BOMBS EVER

is this image from reddit or something

A big budget summer blockbuster wants to at least double its budget in profits.

Okay hang on.

Alice in Wonderland had a sequel? BFG was remade? Why was Pete's Dragon even made? And goddamn, how did TMNT get made and released so quick?

I had no fucking idea so many of these were being made, let alone got released

>movie tickets overinflated to $15-20 a pop
>concessions are still universally regarded as outright price gouging
>Hollywood is barren of all original IPs; people getting extremely tired of remakes/revisions, adaptations, sequels/prequels etc. The few original scripts that get produced usually have a big name behind them and that's usually the only reason they get made meaning you usually get dog shit like Live by Night (although that's an adaptation too lmao)
>HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, Netflix, Redbox, and cable providers are in an arms race to acquire distribution rights to movies to put them out faster than each other.

the industry refuses to innovate or budge from their stagnant practices and are getting economically destroyed by a generation that is more consumer savvy than any before it. capitalism at it's best.

>the city of Disney without franchise

>star trek released the blu-ray 6 weeks after it was in theaters
>expected to turn a profit in box office sales

hollywoodreporter.com/news/steven-spielberg-predicts-implosion-film-567604

>movies with no CGI costing almost 100 million dollars
>movies that are all animation costing 100+million dollars

Hollywood pricing is out of control, paying actors 10mil to be in some movie like War Dogs lmao

Actors got too smart for tabloids, so they now can be serious actors with no drawing power

That's why they bombed, very few people knew they were coming out and those that did avoided them like the plague.
