75 Million

Did this feel like a big budget pilot for a power rangers series to anyone else?

Less then what they expected, but more then what they deserved.

I'll go with 76 million

370-400M (20% domestic, 80% foreign) which is a standard for such movies.

One dollar, Drew.

67 domestic
169 overseas
236 global

With a 200 million budget- it is going to lose a LOT of money.

Yeah it needs to make over 500 million in box office to make profit.

learn film accounting

It makes FUCKLOADS in Theater sales, DVD, Blu-Ray, Digital DL's, and streams, but somehow....it never made a dime for those who had a percentage in it.


I'm not salty at missing out my royalties, you're salty.

Sure... Blu-Rays and DVDs are flying off the shelves... Blockbusters are popping up everywhere. And VHS tapes BACK, baby!

This. Movie must earn, but officially can't be profitable. For reasons...

A surprising amount of people still buy DVD's, desu.

Especially in thew $5 bin at Walmart.

JK DVD's are dying and I'll never get those royalties.

It's okay though.

did the twist work?

Considering how much of the BO will be Chinese, I doubt even 600 million would be break even.

What was the twist? I've seen it and I don't recall any twist. You mean Charlie Day being the villain? That was spoiled in the first 40 minutes or so of the movie

DON'T ignore home media

$2,000, playing only in a few arthouses in San Francisco and New York for a weekend or two.

A lot of people buy $3 DVDs from a guy who walks through McDonalds with a backpack. The studios don't get a cut from him.

Those are old TV series, being sold to retirees.

Depends. When Chinese company is co-producer they get more than usually.

This. People tend to forget this movie made almost entirely with China money FOR the Chinese market (they bought Legendary).

They don't care how well the movie does in Burgerland or it's reception, just as long as it makes money in China and other Asian territories. That's where the target market is.

For the first time in a major hollywood tentpole film, we are IRRELEVANT.

china will save it

WAR READY

why is ablack guy starring and not the asian chick from the first movie then

it was good.

It won't make money... period. It will lose money. Lots of money. Bombing in the US is very relevant to that.

I thought the Chinese didn't like blacks? Why wouldn't they go with an Asian lead anyway?

Does it even play in the movie? Honest question.

its already underperforming in China tough.

They fucked up when they made the main protagonist a black dude because they fail to realize the Chinese don't like black people whether they are real or fictional. Had the main been a Chinese girl it would have done better.

They like Will Smith.

No, but there is a remix on the main theme of Pacific Rim, which was cool to hear.
youtube.com/watch?v=1vU7XqToZso

so why did they stop del taco from wanking his asian waifu more? mako would have been a decent female protagonist insteadof the boyega meme

Because depending on heritage that is either a shit storm waiting to happen or irrelevant.

You're either Kino Chinese, Scum Japanese, puppet Koreans, southern trash mainlanders, or foreigners.

>they bought Legendary
Really? I know Universal stopped caring about USA with Fast and Furious or Minions movies. They make 200m in US and 900+ overseas.
Another recent example, "Mummy" - completely ignored in USA but still made over 400M which is usual action adventure number.

No. The theme from the first one does tho, which was nice.

They don't care, either way. They regard Afro-American culture as gutter trash, and the Chinese government keeps it out... but race itself does not matter to them.

h-heh a dramatic scifi fantasy film would be soooooo gaaaaaaay (I love gays btw!)

So? That doesn't mean they like all of them, generally they just don't seem to like blacks that much in general.

The first one barely cracked 100m in the US, a verified bomb. We only got a sequel because It made mad cash in China.

>but race itself does not matter to them.
You're wrong. Asians are VERY racist. But that's a discussion meant more for Sup Forums.

>but race itself does not matter to them.
But culture is downstream from race, but if they don't have that much exposure it makes sense.

China hates Japan.

>it doesn't try to be epic and that's a good thing!

Chinese have a not in my backyard approach. They may like black stars, entertainers, etc and do business with them. And then you got the guys who view black women as exotic beauties.

But in most cases they wouldn't want them moving into their country. In China all foreigners are equally inferior.

This may shock you, but no country on Earth obsesses about race as much as the US does... not even South Africa, anymore.

Chinese don't see enough foreigners to care.

Then why the lack of asians in it if they dont give a shit about the US market? Why doesnt Hong Kong get attacked, then Taiwan, and some secret mainland chicom program comes to the rescue and unites One China, all because the USA were using underwater drones to erode the fake island chicoms are building on top of South China Sea reefs which disturbed the big monsters?

Damn that sounds good, even a propaganda film would be better than this.

Yep. $3.5 billion.

>not even South Africa, anymore.
Is that supposed to mean that as soon as the blacks genocide all the whites it won't be an issue anymore.

They like the white DNA in Will Smith.

They only got the 25% cut for this movie.

Ahhh so nigger instead what a masterful checkmate of their micro-bigotries.

30 million more asian males than females in China. The only women they can get are poor desperate African women.

they like his white semen in their ladies

My my my ignorance is bliss

>pacific rim 3

they are planning that already lol

China is kicking out Africans by the planeload.

China is not bringing in Africans. Some Koreans- but no Africans.

>From wikipedia: Wanda Group is a Chinese developerand owner of the world's largest cinema chain,Wanda Cinemasand theHoyts Group, as well as a majority share ofAMC Theatres.
They wont need to split the profits when they literally OWN the cinemas the movie will be playing.

Correct. And most of them abandon the kids in Africa and China refuses to recognize them as citizens.

Really how china views blacks is no different than southern whites in US. Entertaining to watch and great for taboo fetish fuck. But you don't want them in the family or next door. What most people miss is that China is US vs. World.

OH NO NO NO NO NO

Not bringing them in, not kicking them out. Not there- just some college students that will go back to Africa.

yeah there's a tease for part 3 at the end

Can you faggots stop talking about race for five minutes and take notice that they are trying to make this into a FUCKING CINEMATIC UNIVERSE
Jesus FUCK it's going to become Star Wars 2.0

there had better be more actual fights than the other 2 combined

China is taking over Africa by donating infrastructure projects to dictatorships so they can access raw materials. The men are going there for work and available women.

The Chinese Ministry of Propaganda now controls them, and every production company in China.

Good. They're already doing a better job than Disney.

You are as ignorant of China as you are of the Southern US.

>Entertaining to watch and great for taboo fetish fuck.
So animals then?

Delete this

World Wrestling Entertainment/Federation was doing cinematic universes before it was a meme.

the hook for part 3 is that since the aliens tell them that they absolutely will not stop ever until they win, they're going to go to the alien world and take the fight to them

>tfw every movie in the next decade will be filtered Chinese propaganda
What a time to be alive.

I have been to Africa, courtesy of Uncle Sam. The Chinese do not interact with the locals- they have built their own towns and stick to themselves. There are over a million of them there now... and none of them want AIDs.

No there were areas of major cities filled with African entrepreneurs trying to hustle in the export game. China got sick of it and started deporting them en masse.

2 dollars BAM

>shitty practical puppet effect
>black character made to look as stupid and as possible
I forgot how shitty the force awakens was.

Which parts of Africa exactly?

Don't test me, kid.

>stah woahz shitter
literally no say in the matter

I just saw it tonight, and was sorely disappointed in everything not fight related. For God's sake who cares about anyones backstory in a fucking movie about giant robots vs giant monsters?

I thought this definitely had one of the better action movie climaxes, really gave that you "we just won the war" feel when they killed the big baddie.

Or filtered US State Department Propaganda. Hollywood and China are copying each other.

yes

There are also a lot of half chinese half african babies popping up, chinese men marrying african women and finding great success farming in Africa, etc.

yeah I agree it was much too slow up until the UPRISING started, but from then on at least it was 100% action. At least it didn't have the problem the first movie did where the final fight wasn't as cool as the previous ones.

Who else H O P I N G F O R A F L O P?

Djibouti-, but we were running missions in Sub-Sahara Africa.

>original movie
>Charlie Day is an obnoxious but adorable sperg who sincerely loves his job and plays a big part in winning the war, that bro hug with the mathematician at the end, comic relief to offset the darker plot elements

>sequel
>he's permanently fucked in the head and wants to destroy the Earth, nearly succeeds in doing so, kills the heroine from the previous movie and destroys Japan

Fuck China and fuck this sequel

Same and same, took too fucking long getting to the last fight, which was actually very good I wouldn't have called the 3 kaiju becoming one big one

Baloney.

When I saw these as a kid I didnt even realized they were supposed to be black people.
