Sup Forums-approved movies. Box Office Meltdown PART 2

Continued from: Another comfy movie thread!

>“The BFG” is only the latest high-profile casualty in a summer that’s seen a slew of big-budget domestic bombs. Indeed, red ink has spilled out from such misses as “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” “Warcraft,” “The Legend of Tarzan,” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows,” each of which had production budgets north of $130 million, along with steep global marketing and distribution costs. The failures could cost their studios tens of millions of dollars.

>Year to date, receipts are up 2%, thanks largely to winter hits such as “Deadpool” and “Zootopia.” Blockbuster season is a different story. Ticket sales are down roughly 10% this summer, but the slide is more precipitous than those numbers suggest. Rising ticket prices, fueled by 3D, Imax, and other premium formats, have enabled the industry to paper over a huge gulf in attendance. On a per-capita basis, the moviegoing audience is at its lowest levels in nearly a century. Most disturbing, millennials are avoiding theaters.

>The audience of 18- to 39-year-olds has declined over the past five years, according to the Motion Picture Association of America.

I really wonder when production companies are going to start distributing films online during the cinema run. Because you know it's going to happen eventually. This isn't the 1920's anymore when movies were some kind of extreme novelty you could only get at the cinema, or you when there for the air conditioning or whatever. They're getting pinched on all sides from netflix, hbo go, hulu, cheap dvd's, not to mention piracy. And consumers are fed up with the gimmicks (3d) and top tier jewry ($30 for a ticket, coke, and popcorn). Then you have to deal with a sea of cellphones lighting up and making noise at all times, shitty seats, niggers hooping and hollering, some idiot behind you kicking your seat every few minutes. So I could spectacularly overpay for all of that, or I could just wait 4 months and watch it at home on my couch or my bed.

The movie theater should have died 10 years ago. It's amazing it's held on as long as it has.

They need to lose a bit more money first.

Music industry also resisted until the bitter end.
These industries need to make few hundred millions or even a billion in losses over a period of time, not until that amount will the change.

lmao you remade my thread

HEAT

greatest shooting scene of all

:D

I hate the ending 9/10

...

Fuck the ending, I hate it also.

With a great ending, it would be epic.

...

...

The problem is that they'll lose their prestige if they release them online.

The limited "self space" at the theater is what gives movies their power.

I honestly think this trick only works on old people (fwiw I'm in my 30's, so I mean boomers). I really think people my age are starting to get over the whole idea, and people younger than me really don't seem into it.

Movie theaters are inconvenient. I think they'll eventually be Blockbuster'd. The hipsters will keep a few around just for kicks, but they'll basically become what drive ins are today: niche and almost entirely irrelevant.

Yes thats true, but what happens when movie after movie after movie loses tens of millions of dollars?

It wont be viable.

The Music industry tried to prevent to change its medium of distribution until they had billion in losses.

These industries dont change easily.

You bought the CD, got the booklet, and it was a cool thing to keep in your collection on the book shelf.
Now Music is shit and far from as "original" as when you had CDs.

Now Music industry makes a fraction of what it used to make.

The same thing will happen to Movie Industry. They have an unstoppable fate where earning billion dollar on a movie is a thing of the past.

The same goes for Telecom industry. Charging for phone calls abroad etc? You will just use wifi and call on any application.

The internet took corporations down.

>Yes thats true, but what happens when movie after movie after movie loses tens of millions of dollars?

All they need is one or two really huge movies to undo the damage. Studios have been turning out turds for decades, but always seem to have the one or two big blockbusters that rake in a billion or more from ticket receipts.

Star wars

Anyone else still buys movies on Blu ray sometimes? I'm a quality-fag who likes to get the best quality possible.

I wait for them to get on sale for like $5 though. A lot of classic movies goes on sale for $5-10 around the holidays.

>Blu ray
that's still around? i thought it failed

How do you heard enough people to your movie to invest 150 million into production without the Movie theater forcing 5-10 movies max a weekend.

If it goes online only you can say good bye to big budget movies

I am ashamed of you Sup Forums that this wasnt everyones first response.

...

Anyone else feel like the sound quality is getting worse at movie theaters? The rate times a year I go to the movies, I have issues with either the bass being too loud or the background noise being so loud that I can't hear the voices well.

I feel my cheap 5.1 home theater setup in my living room sounds better than my movie theater.

Same, I only own about 8 Blu-rays and they're movies I watch almost once a month. I also don't spend more than $10 on them.

I figure that if the rental is $3 each time I want to see it, and if I plan to watch it more than 3 or 4 times, I should just buy it. Sometimes I like the special features they have.

I think movie budgets probably will shrink if (when) that happens, but it's not as cataclysmic as you think. Just look at TV. Their budgets are bigger than ever, and there's never been more competition. It's not like cable/satellite came around and the networks stopped making content, or the premium channels. Even Netflix shows have budgets very similar to "regular" TV productions.

I think it'll be the end of giant media orgies, like when they were selling Star Wars oranges and shit. But it's not the end of the big "blockbuster" movie.

Did a lot of other things in my life and spend money on other things.
But if I had a proper house I would make my own home cinema, with a high ass quality projector and spend shitloads on speakers with proper seats.

That would be awesome.

You're describing two different problems.

"Bass being too loud" might be from either poor mixing or improper equipment calibration at the theater. Could be intentional since bass is cool to plebs.

"Can't hear the voices well" might also be poor mixing or poor calibration, but it seems stupid to intentionally reduce the volume of dialogue.

Robocop is pretty redpilled. Less than 1% on the J-dar as well.

too graphic for a christian board

>Being so easy to trigger that Sup Forums needs to screen movies for your safe space

Yes, whats up with all that massive bass sounds?????? And its very loud also? I mean like really loud sometimes.

Poor sound is usually from blown or worn out speakers. It's helps to accentuate the pepsi stain on the top right corner of the screen from when some groid pitched a $9 drink at it.

They have not been as successful or widespread as DVD but Blu rays haven't failed. A lot of people still buy Blu-rays because of reasons like they hate the video quality of streaming services or many bdrips (like me) or because they have shitty internet connection.

They recently started selling UHD/4K Blu ray but that might bomb.

When I see all the happenings going int using week in Europe, I think of that movie. Why didn't they listen?

I like looking at my physical movie connection. So I have about 40-50 I think.

It will be partly better, partly worse I guess?

This development is unevidable. I can foresee the cinema industry falling heavily in our generation.

The industry have billions to back them up. But sooner or later they have to adapt, the power is always with the consumer.

Or if there are another approach, like TV shows is produced by someone who can provide "endless" money, not in the purpose of producing quality media or to make money, but simply as and advertisement tool to spread Zionist-gay-leftist-feminist-islamist-agendas.

They might see it as advertisement-money? Isnt that what TV and TV-shows have/are becoming?

After seeing and hearing the footage of the Dallas, TX shootouts, it really drove home how realistic that scene was.

The local cinema in my hometown is trumpeting having 4k screens and digital surround sound.

When I lived in London there was a cinema near Chinatown that only showed old movies and would often project them off film. 35mm film is close to 6k native resolution if it's good stock, and 70mm will go all the way up to 18k. Plus the sound coming off the old analogue system was warmer and gloriously deafening for films like Predator and Robocop.

In their desire to save money and maintain control of content, the movie industry has basically ruined the cinema experience. It really was better years ago.

>tfw movies are making billions despite having less viewers

How do we kill this industry?

Theaters will keep on going. Why ? In a word: calm

Have you ever watch a movie at home with a large family ? It's impossible. Someone will always get up to do something, some will talk, some will get food, etc... but in a theater, everyone will stay quiet and watch the movie, even the kids.

You want a date but you suck at conversation ? Go to the theater, you don't have to talk for two hours.

Theaters are calm, quiet and only made to watch movies, you can't easily get that at home

THE DEER HUNTER

>in a theater, everyone will stay quiet and watch the movie, even the kids.
Not in this fucking country.

Part of it, I think, is that it's no longer the only place you can go to see "edgy" content any more. Used to be that rated R movies were the only things with blood and tits and sex. Now you can almost get that on basic cable, and you can get the whole thing on channels like HBO. Plus, many movies these days are opting for PG-13, even in genres you usually wouldn't expect to, like horror. You're basically paying $10 to go watch something equivalent to what you could watch for free on FOX.

You're going to the wrong theaters then, man.

A few weeks ago on the Christian general someone posted a collage of Christ/pol/ approved films.

Does anyone have it? I deleted it for some reason.

Stop watching capeshit and other niggermovies

Angry Birds

Surprisingly it BTFO liberals

In metro areas it tends to be kind of hard to watch a movie when you have people going
"AAAHHHHH III KNAAAAOOOOWWW DAT SHET IZ FUNNA AF SENPAI U FEEL?"
I recently moved back to the country and there is a weird satisfaction sitting in a movie theater and it is
DEAD
FUCKING
SILENT

Eyes Wide Shut, obviously.

Love how Kubrick had a well-timed heart attack after screening ot for the first time.

TV watching is far still more common in America than in Europe. Because we dont have cable, we dont have something like HBO. And we dont have good comedians doing proper stand-up or shows or whatever.
In this sense, America is way better.

TV-watching among millenials is tiny in Europe.
If they never watched TV in their lifes, I dont think they really learned to sit down, and just focus on a movie and doing nothing else.

I can see on my 15 year old Cousin who lives in his phone. He cant sit still or focus on anything more than 15 mins.

Those who remember when dial-up-internet existed, then internet was rare and going to the Cinema was something uniqe and awesome.

The new generation dont understand it.

Cinema still makes money, but they make less and less money per invested dollar.

But movies like the latest Star Wars; budget 245 usd million, worldwide gross 2,02 billion usd, things like that pay up for other losses.

One can not be truly red pilled in cinema until they sculpt time with Andrei Tarkovsky.

Listen Truck Nigger I stopped going to movies because people get up making me scooch in. They check their fucking phones with bright ass screen in a dark room and it wrecks my field of view. Fuck the movie theaters.

Truly Sup Forums tier movie

Borat:
Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

>tfw had no idea Kubrick directed A Clockwork Orange

Maybe because there aren't a lot of movies aimed towards 18-30 year olds. Most recent releases are banking on mid to late 70s or early 80s. Not helping is that a majority of major releases have been extraordinarily shitty.

Like any product people vote with their money, sooner or late Hollywood will figure out what people want and make a shit ton of it.

Plus lets not forget that when a major release makes money it tend to make A LOT of money.

Edit: Also considering how shitty world economies have been the last 5-10 years and the fact that 18-30 year olds aren't known for having large amounts of spending money none of this is really surprising.

Apocalypse now directors cut

Where kurtz "tells" him about how the war isn't what it seems

Man, last time I was in a movie theater was to see Sin City 2, and only because my friend dragged me to see it. Before that, it was Dumb and Dumber 2, and only because my family wanted some nostalgia of better times (so depressing), and before that I think last time I was at the theaters was to see The Girl With The Dragoon Tattoo back in fucking 2011- again because someone wanted me to go (not a bad movie though).

Seems like 3/4th of Hollywood's profit comes from people being dragged along to see a movie they don't really care about.

>Because we dont have cable, we dont have something like HBO.
I watched TV in Finland and holly shit it was bad. Here you can catch at least 1-2 decent channels even if you living in the middle of nowhere and using wire instead of antenna.

>If it goes online only you can say good bye to big budget movies

Oh no! No more capeshit, manchild movies! What ever will I do???

>muh nostalgia
Movie theaters have always been absolute trash. The only real difference is that in the 80s, everyone and their dog didn't have a 50" flatscreen to which they could compare the "cinema experience"

Here's how I can tell you're full of shit
>warmer
The only people who refer to sound as "warm" are vinyl-worshipping hipster faggots who desperately cling to outdated technology because they think it helps preserve the illusion that they are better than everyone else.

>Theaters are calm, quiet and only made to watch movies
Of course your theaters are calm and quiet Pierre, they sit empty while the rest of your country surrenders to ISIS

Honestly, the only movie I've gone to in the last three years and really enjoyed was Pacific Rim. And that's just because I'm an /m/fag.

Any TV channel in Scandinavia sucks.
TV watching have decreased with like one third in 10 years here.

"The Spy Who Came In From The Cold"
Richard Burton is double-crossed for the last time in East Berlin.
"Pulp"
Michael Caine's best movie. Seriously it's better than Zulu and massively under-appreciated, I never see it discussed.
"1984"
It is still relevant (the argument about BNW being more sensible is ridiculous, they are carrot and stick in the same hands) and it is a triumph that they got so much material into the film.
"Brazil"
Just go see it.
"The Cold Summer of 53"
Stalin is dead and Beria releases some Gulag prisoners. Because of socialist reasoning that holds that politically incorrect university professors are the real bad guys and rapists are just misunderstood, the first to be released are actually violent organized criminals (rather than "politicals"). They converge on an isolated and defenseless village.
"Solovyetski Vlast"
[Solovki Power, as opposed to the Bolshevik slogan "Soviet (or democratic) Power"] This is very hard to find but it is the best Gulag documentary. It should be shown to that one Portuguese commie apologist who insists that Communists did not kill Christians.
"Repentence"
Georgian metaphorical fantasy representing Stalin's reign, one of the best films ever made.
"A Friend of the Deceased"
A loser is redpilled in post-Communist Ukraine.

There are worse hipsters
Like those who amplify their digital music with vacuum tubes to get the "warm" sound.

You're Goddamn right user. Underrated fucking post, what do you have to say for yourself, Sup Forums?

If it isnt a football tournment (Euro 2016) or perhaps some bigger game like Basket euro finals, or end game in Champions league.

Thats basically the only time I will watch a TV.
But barely that anymore, everything is streamed online.

And when current TV breaks, already a few pixels doesnt work, I wont rush out and buy a new one for fucking 1000 euro.

But real film literally is better than digital projection. This isn't a nostalgia thing, the old technology is actually better. 4K projectors are shit compared to 35mm and they're really fucking shit compared to 70mm.

Tombstone. Westerns in general are pretty clear of PC nonsense.

Are you the same dude I talked to about Cold Summer of 53 on here a few months ago?

I was shocked that someone else on pol, an American no less, had seen it. Great fucking film.

>I can see on my 15 year old Cousin who lives in his phone. He cant sit still or focus on anything more than 15 mins.

Its the exact same in America dude. TV is so fucked that Cable Companies who provide both internet AND cable will throttle your internet speed after a certain point of bandwidth is hit so it makes it impossible to watch Youtube or Netflix (our preferred method of entertainment these days), so you have to go back to watching cable TV.

Its the same with me as well. Im 26, grew up on TV and movie theaters as a kid, but havent watched TV, even regular free TV, since 2009. I would honestly go to movie theaters, but capeshit movies and 20 year old sequels that ruin classics arent appealing to me. Not to mention, our theaters these days are overrun with spics and niggers hooting and hollering and chimping out at the screen. Movie theaters these days are a horrible experience, and the movies thesr days arent captivating enough to put up with it.

This movie is one of my favorite WW2 movies

I don't doubt that a pristine reel, run through a quality, well-kept projector, would easily blow away any digital equipment of today.

Nor do I doubt that the movie theater that the user to whom I was originally responding had absolutely nothing of the sort.

3,288 movie folders and 354 complete tv series on my media fileserver running emby, serving to six different roku 3's and one roku 4 throughout the house on a gbit network.

A few hundred DVDs still floating around the house from when we still collected but most are pirate bay, kickasstorrents. All of 2 blu-rays in the house, bday presents that were immediately ripped and now collect dust.

The notion of swapping out physical media to watch video is so 20th-cen.

Failure of democracy
Starship Troopers

What? Explain...

Shit tier as fuck
300 SS can't take out a shitty Easy 8

Probably. Great movie. I never found a torrent for it and will probably look at buying it. Check out Solovki Power if you have Russian media connections. There is also a documentary on prisons called Inside the Black Dolphin.
There is also a thing, bits are on Youtube, where they talk to children of the Russian elite just before Perestroika, and the kids totally understand everything that's happening and about to happen, and very calmly explain it like an Economist cover. First one is Seven Up and then the sequels are multiples of seven, like Twenty-One Up.

Absolute, pure, unadulterated cancer concentrate.

true, im soon 27

Top kek service providers wont block shit in Europe, I can watch as much youtube as I want on my phone

In the late eighties and early nineties there was this insanely clear video quality that has not been touched by digital, if you look up the KLF video for Kylie Said To Jason you will be able to see every pore on this guy's face.

Hahah love that movie

Well said burger

Great list.

Except for Mean Girls and Transformers... wtf man?

Its great got to watch the other three
Its soo redpilled

Italians like Sergio Corbucci made good westerns but a lot of them were super sympathetic to communists and revolutionaries.

Interrestingly enough the decline of Malls and Retail sales in general, correlate with decline of TV-Watching, TV-shows and Cinema

Retail sales in general is declining world wide and Malls are doing worse.
Funny enough when internet really went mainstream all post services had a heavy decline and was risking going out of business.

Then someone came up with the idea of buying shit online, and now Post Services had never had such a great business ever.

So I guess Retail, TV-shows and Cinemas all have to adopt, thats real capitalism.

Btw love the show Shark Tank, fucking brilliant Americans.

>I literally have no idea what the SS are

Not an argument.
