What exactly makes studios think, "Oh boy, let me just release this subpar movie"?

money laundering

Define "subpar"

Poorly made

The hundreds of thousands they put into market research that tells them it will be profitable anyway because the pleb majority will eat it up, and they're right 90+% of the time
It's like commercials that don't seem to market to anyone, you watch it thinking there's no way this will generate revenue but it cost so much to put on there's not a snowballs chance they would go to all that trouble without a guarantee it would make returns

define poorly made

Because they've already spent the money on production and the only way to make that money back is by releasing it in theatres. What a stupid fucking question.

That is not a question for studios, the only question is : will it make money ?

>Will I get money out of this?
>How much money have we wasted so far?

YOU are stupid.

The question is why do they make them in the first place?

fuck off , doggo

but why a shit film??

Everything has its demographic, even Adam Sandler comedies

Not well made

it does not matter if its trash as long as it make money, studios are not artist and dont give a shit about quality.

They make money off it. Tax loopholes 'n all that jazz

Probably the fact that a lot of money has already been spent to make it so they might as well release it in an attempt to make some of that money back.

>t. socialist
Guess what? The studio heads need to have taste. They're artists, too. They don't just balance the books or manage people. A person who only knows how to make films couldn't run a company worth shit.

The question is, why greenlight a shitty thing in the first place?

t.capitalist you mean

Opportunity cost.
The time and money it costs to make a better movie is time and money they want elsewhere. Namely churning our other sub par movies

Why are you denying the answer you're looking for? Shit is released because either
>its a cashgrab
>they presume its good but theyre wrong
What do you want?

Sometimes they don't know it'll be shitty. Maybe a lot of shitty movies sounded good on paper, but ended up being executed poorly.

I'm asking why they make shitty decisions

nope

>they presume its good but theyre wrong
this

"may as well try to earn back some of the money so it's not a complete loss."

why the fuck did they make it in the first place

What exactly makes OP think, "Oh boy, let me just hand in this subpar paper"?

What were you thinking when you made this subpar thread?

blind optimism, yesmen underlings who think every idea is spectacular, political/social agenda (eg Miss Sloane, Ghostbusters) with rich backers ramming it through, test audiences who are pants on head retarded and/or also support a particular agenda, etc

take your pick or choose all

would you want to be in the credits of a movie regardless of if it was bad?

this is a subpar meme

>bad
subpar

But most of the films released by big studios nowadays are well made.
They're just shitty films.
