It came out the same weekend as TFA?

>>78338274
why did any film bother coming out the same weekend as star wars? the idiots who made this movie were deluded if they thought people would take their kids to see a chipmunk movie instead of fucking star wars

Speaking estimated percentage wise for a movie like this, how much does box office matter compared to DVD sales, merchandise, Netflix/Hulu/Amazon video revenue, CN buying the rights to play it on tv, etc.?
Because, yea the movie fucking bombed like Hiroshima, but it'll probably make its money back eventuality, right?

Also,
>releasing on the same day as fucking Star Wars
Did the guy in charge of its release date just fucking hate his job or what's the logic here? Releasing anything in the same fucking month as a new Star Wars is half past retarded, let alone the same goddamn day.

Is this the real life?

The movie only existed as a cash grab so why did they bother going against Star Wars? Was the movies budget so low that they knew even going alongside what will be the most viewed movie of the year it'll still make a profit?

>>78339408
Not to tip my fedora too hard with the whole "fake nerd girl" spiel, but I'm genuinely curious how many people saw it for "nerd cred" or just out of obligation because Star Wars.

Like imagine episodes if Episodes 1-6 never existed, and this the Force Awakens was the first ever Star Wars movie, would it have been even a fraction as successful?

Then the answer is no, even the original Star Wars was a huge risk and pretty much no one wanted to finance it. The only reason it worked was because it remixed so many familiar elements into something new while ripping off movies most of the audience had never seen anyway.

The only logical conclusion I've come to concerning the release date is some guy(s) throwing their hands up and saying "Fuck this movie, fuck this job, fuck this company, fuck everything."

Either that or EVERYONE involved had a lapse in judgment at the exact same time.

The logic is simple though.

If SW is sold out and kids with their parents are already at the theater, they'd likely watch Alvin and The Chipmunks instead.

It sometimes works, but SW is just too big and people are willing to wait for it.

The flaw in this is, why torture yourself and sit through Alvin? If you're already gunho to bring your youngins to see Ep 7, which, from what I've heard is pretty violent and kinda dark, you're not gonna take your kids to see a kids movie simply because it's for kids, you'll take them to go see Krampus or whatever the fuck is playing now.

The term "viral video" and the fuckwits who believe they can make a video go "viral" just by making it silly and weird fucking triggers me.
Actual viral videos like, idunno, Gangnam Style are lightning in a bottle. They're like those badass trick shots you pull off when nobody else is in the room and you know you couldn't do it again in a million years, you don't go in trying to make it happen, it just happens.

The Amazing Atheist gave me my favorite example of this,

Sadly, "internet culture" are more "look we're so hip for knowing of the may mays" than "study and investigation into how certain images, videos, phrases, etc. catch on and spread around the internet."

Which is a real shame, because it would be interesting to see some actual research done on the subject. Sadly, most academics are too busy squealing over how "unsafe" and "gross" 4chan is to ever bother trying to understand board culture.

They are honestly stupid, I need to explain. Stuff like pizza toots is made to be stupid, it is trying way to hard. Stuff like Gangnam style is silly but it is honest, it wasn't just made to be viral. Hotline Bling was made to be a proper video and song and no one got how dumb it was

They're completely unrelated humanoid chipmunks.

That sort of "we'll get the people who couldn't get into another film" mentality would have worked back when most theaters only had a few screens and there weren't half as many ways to check to see if tickets were available before you get to the box office.

I just imagine a dark and smoky room full of broken soulless executives, in sullen silence desperately trying to think of a chipmunk based pun for the new movie, but being creatively devoid soulless husks they keep failing, so they are just stuck there, chain smoking and pounding whiskey in miserable silence.

>The Chipmunks find their long-lost mother after days of searching. Alvin gets upset because he doesn't understand why she abandoned them. Their mother explains that the year she abandoned them there was a horrible winter and all of the animals in the forest were forced to leave their homes. She realized that they wouldn't survive the journey if she brought them with her, so she decided to leave them with a nice man who was always kind to the forest animals (Dave). She told them that when spring came and she could finally return to get them, she saw how happy they were with Dave, and thought they would be better off with him. Eventually, Alvin forgives his mother. They return to Dave, but the brothers agree to keep in touch with their mother. In a later episode she and Dave clash on how to bring the boys up.

> He pissed off someone powerful, and this movie is just his punishment of public humiliation

Last night I got drunk and watched Chipwrecked, because I love shitty movies drunk. It's completely awful, but it's a pretty good "laugh at it drunk" movie

>>78352005

All the reviews say thats the only good joke for anyone in the audience that over the age of 10.

>>78352005
You're fucking kidding.

What?
WHAT?
WAHT!?

>>78338351

Why is it called VIRAL VIDEO?

>>78351851

>a kid likes a movie for kids and not the sequel to a space opera from the 80's

Come on, dude, leave the girl alone.

And Boco, I try to defend you whenever people blindly hate on you, dude, don't make me start regretting that.

Why did I watch the whole thing.

Why.

>>78352187
They were hoping if the put "VIRAL VIDEO" in the title it would become just that.

>>78352231

Okay...

>>78352005
Heard about that from Brad Jones' review. Flipped my fucking shit, man.

Is it normal to feel dead inside?
Like the little bit of hope and naivety I had left was just erased.?

14 million dollars means a million or more people saw this.

A million people.

They bought tickets and didn't walk out and demand their money back.

One. Million. People.

Oh I know right? That's the only rational explanation I can think of... someone with an extreme fetish was really pushing hard here.

>>78338351

>Someone thought of this idea

>Other people heard it

>They approved

>They paid people money

>To actually MAKE this.

>This had to have gone through several people and several people totally signed off on it.

This is the end times.

Thus ended cinema as we know it

>>78352231
No NO NO NO!!! This is shite through and through. It treats both the children and the audience as if they are morons. It talks down to kids and treats them as nothing more but wallet fillers. You know what, I'll just leave this review right here.

Maybe it's not so much that Simpsons predicted it as it is that whoever decided the release date saw this episode and wanted to replicate it for the keks

>>78348256

First subconscious thought that came up when watching this was "OW MY BALLS!"

I'm laughing a lot here but I'm laughing AT this and the reaction /co/ has... It's killing my sides. Just sitting here with all 50 of you guys in utter shock.

>Can't tell if Chimpmunk ad or ISIS recruiting video.

>>78338351
I don't know what's worse, pizza toots or that ratings bar. Mfw I have no face.

Great, now that "Pizza toots" song is stuck in my head.

Fuck you, /co/

>>78353354
There is no fighting it

>>78340629

The Simpsons creators are actually from the Future...

It's Fry. It's literally Fry doing this. Trying to warn us.

'Merican here. Everyone I know despises the Chipmunk movies.

I have never seen /co/ so united in horror and disgust as they have been in this thread

>>78352616

Most of which were parents subjecting their children to this horror. They should be arrested for child abuse.
