>>88562746
That could be because Disney didn't have any support for Frozen when it opened. Frozen did not have any advertising or promotion. They also had no Frozen merchandise. That how much Disney did not care about Frozen. They had to scramble to get merchandise out for it. So it is not an equal comparison. Frozen had to do all it's business with very little promotion. It was all word of mouth

It's going to make plenty of money in the end but I'll give you the obvious answer. The princess is ugly as fuck. Girls despise her for her appearance and fathers aren't as interested in going to kids movies where they can't get a boner. The same reason Brave never became a sensation.

But Moana has made close to $300 Million when you take in Worldwide sales and Domestic together.

So even if the Budget was $150 Million and Marketing was $130 Million, the movie alone (not including merch) has broken even and made more.

It's just crack incest shippers being so deluded they can't accept their ship is pure crack, and instead insisting it must be "stealth canon" and that Disney totally intended the sister's relationship to read as romantic.

It's bullshit, obviously. It's just shippers insisting that their crackship is totally canon you guys.

As for why do people ship it, I think at least on /co/ a great deal of people saw lesbian porn fanart of the ship first, liked it, and then just started to ship it despite the incest and despite canon not supporting it at all, because the lewds were so cute. There's a lot of "not related AU" type mental gymnasting in that fandom

I know misunderstanding the box office is an ebin /tv/ meme and you're probably baiting, but I'll (you) anyway. Box office gross is not box office profit. National theaters keep something like 30-50% of the profit, foreign theaters 50-80%. Hence why before the Ghostbusters remake came out, the director said he was nervous because they'd need to break around 500mil to start making profit, despite the budget/marketing being <$300mil.

What the fuck is up with this modern mentality that if you don't win the lottery or whatever in term of investment then it is seen as a loss? Make me think of apples whose exec were dissapointed that they ''only'' had a 80% increase in profitability or something as absurd as that, fucking greedy scum so disconnected from reality they genuinely expect incredible profits at every single transaction and seek only profitability rather than survivability.

Also many peoples don't seem to understand how much of a fucking fraud the way modern marketing work, which end up costing so fucking much because most of the cost on these thing is controlled by speculator who have simply no interest in lowering the prices and in turn make it so that the richest fuckers can easily cover entire networks with publicity while the small fries won't even be able to get a 15 sec of radio time whitout it being a dangerous risk to take as it would affect the company budget ( i;e: The average price to get your ads on a more or less popular radio show, and that is not on the big radio networks that get in the millions of listeners a day, can easily cost in the tens of thousand, even if its only for 10 sec 2 time a day at the hours with the least traffic. Those publicity panels that we always see by the highway? 50k and more, going exponentially higher with the ones in places like time square going into the millions per month and more )

Most studios want to make at least double their money, then the investment seems worth it, just breaking even and getting a bit more on top isn't enough when you're spending a hundred million dollars already especially with a company like Disney
>>
>>88562693

I keep expecting Slate or MTV to put up a "Moana bombs because of racism", with plenty of references to Ghostbusters bombing.

Right now, Moana isn't too far off-track from what Frozen made the first few weeks. Frozen was a massive success because people just kept going to see it for weeks after its release but Moana is likely going to fizzle out, esp with Disney competing against itself with the Rogue One release 2 weeks after Moana.

But yeah, eventually we'll see claims of racism. If so I'd like to point out its the racism of little girls all wanting to go see Elsa instead of Moana. Will the articles attack the children? Nah, its the instutionalized racism of the parents and culture, these little girls wanted to go see Moana a dozen times but the racist asshole parents wouldnt take them to see it.

Nothing is ever the fault of itself. It couldnt be that Frozen was just a better movie, that the sister story, the romance story, appealed to little girls more than the solo adventurer story.
>>
>>88579904
little kids like big alien heads on doll bodies idiot. little kids don't have your refined ultimate gentlemanly design sense or access to a closet filled with fedoras.

>>88563806

what little advertising there was for Frozen, and there was some but it wasnt the blitz you might have expected for a movie that made as much as it did, was almost entirely focused on Olaf. disney marketing seemed scared to death that no boys would go see this two-sisters movie so they focused on the comic relief.

then the movie blew up the first week and disney marketing 1) went into high-gear 2) focusing on Elsa.

I hate people who cry sexism at every little thing but its hard to look at Frozen and not see how the studio almost completely overlooked the female market that was the target audience for this movie in the first place. I shouldn't assume malice tho, Hanlon's Razor, marketing departments are all too often entirely incompetent with handling the products they are given. Marketing is where all those "communications" degree earners go when nobody else will hire them.

Despite all the attempts to force the "delicious brown" meme, you are more likely to find a thread devoted to a given relatively niche fetish, like giantesses, muscle girls or MILFs, than to brown girls, when randomly browsing /co/. And of course brownies can only hope to be as attractive as cartoon animals or gender-benders. Dick cannot lie.

No, they have ensured the little girl audience and maybe the middle aged female audience. Besides, no one want to see a hideous ape while an animated Rock would be basically a brown Jojo and that has multiple demographic appeal.

Why wouldn't at least Americans want to see Polynesians?

It seems like people like the Rock and he's half Polynesian. Polynesians sometimes look kind of like they have a mestizo parent and a black parent, so maybe many people who are mestizo or black will think they look kind of like them. So, if that is the case, which I don't know for sure it is, you can appeal to people at least in that way for whatever that is worth.

I believe it was primarily Black lives matter, feminists and sjw's who were calling for boycotts of the movie due to either "cultural appropriation," fat Shaming(since Maui is supposedly just fat and not jacked as fuck) or countless complaints of Moana being too pretty or skinny or ugly or fat, really anything they can make-up as a complaint.
>>
>>88580006
It's almost certainly not that Frozen was better because it absolutely wasn't. But it was probably more appealing to its target audience. Little girls want to be powerful and beautiful princesses like Elsa more than plucky adventurers like Moana. Anna being the less popular of the Frozen sisters despite being the protagonist supports this.

Because it was a muddled mess that was beautiful and fun, but had a story as bad as Brave.

No, seriously.

Who was the bad guy?
>>
>>88562693
But it didn't flop at all. It recovered its entire budget in a month of showing and from now on everything else is pure profit.

For comparison Frozen, released in November 2013, was making money in cinemas world wide until April 2014 and some of the last areas it released in, South Korea and Japan, also proved some of the most fruitful. Frozen pretty much pushed its way above 1.1 billion (to beat Toy Story 3) because of South Korea and Japan and both of those were Spring 2014 opening.
>>
>>88565952
Asia matters a huge deal nowadays, China pretty much saved the Warcraft movie on its own, and Asians don't want to see ugly brown princesses with no love interest. Big reason why Frozen was so beloved there is because both princesses are beautiful and obviously European looking in a way that's impossible for Asians to emulate, that shit sells really really well.

Moana will do well in the US but will flop in Asia, I can guarantee it.

This is like a repeat of what happened with Lion King and Pocahontas, isn't it? Like didn't Disney believe Pocahontas was going to be the next big hit while the Lion King to them was just some movie about animals?
>>
>>88592100

Yes, though specifically Disney created Pocahontas to be award bait and thought it'd be the start of transitioning animated movies into a medium for teens and young adults. They tried this again with Hunchback.
>>
>>88592100
It's exactly like it. Pocahontas was even supposed to be the big SJW film with >evil whiteys and >good, kind, proud, in touch with nature natives and it was supposed to feature native princess and be huge progressive film and so on.

Instead it underperformed compared to early 90s films, got blown away by the Lion King and, most worryingly, signaled the end of Disney Renaissance.

Also, another connection is that Frozen is also connected to the Lion King because Disney wasn't as relevant to the pop culture like it was after Frozen released since Lion King, Frozen/Lion King were everywhere and they became part of the pop culture like Batman or Superman or Mickey Mouse. Moana/Pocahontas were never that relevant or liked and their influence on pop culture was/is minimal.
>>
Didn't even know it was out honestly.
>>
>>88592518
Yeah, it's complete opposite of Frozen. Frozen everyone thought would be shit initially (tumblr because two white princesses, everyone else because their early marketing focused exclusively on Olaf) but then it rose every week straight entirely through word of mouth until it became the cult hit and pop culture phenomena.

Moana OTOH has been over advertised and I don't see or know anyone outside of tumblr types that's actually blown away by the movie.

I dug the movie, but it did kinda meander a bit.

It should have been set back in the days when Maui was actually doing all his cool hero shit, with Tamatoa as the main villain. In the real myths Maui never managed to steal Tahiti's heart because she accidentally crushed him to death with her obsidian vagina dentata, so you could just have had him squaring off against Tamatoa to see who could be the first to snatch it. Maui beats crabcakes, tears off his leg, and gets the heart -but realizes that what he's doing is wrong and puts it back.

Shit, you could even keep Moana in there as a hero-in-training under Maui's wing, or even just as a witness dedicated to recording his good deeds.

>we still get a version of Shiny, but it's Tamatoa singing Moana a Bowie ballad in an attempt to win her over to his side to spite Maui
>>
>>88596068
So, Moana is uninspired shit like Brave?

No.

But it was a smashing success, apparently, so you'll get another chance to see a goji in that style, likely.

Insufficiently white princess.

Oh, sure, people will make a loud stink about representation and crap. But giving them 'what they want' isn't going to make them stop finding stuff to complain about to actually go see a movie.

Alternatively, it's a Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson movie without Vin Diesel and those almost always underperform.

>Colored princesses (Jasmine, Pocahontas, Tiana, Moana) flop because Disney is too afraid of giving the characters tangible flaws.

Aladdin was not a flop by any measure and Pocahontas did well enough. Moana will probably do okay too.

I don't think your argument holds up. Aurora, Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Belle are literally flawless characters whose conflict is all external. Yet their merchandise sells and they're some of the most popular among little girls.
>>
>>88595513
>and the election
Actually election and the general political climate will probably work against the film. Think about it, this is a diversity film, that's what it is, and Americans have just signaled they're pretty tired of diversity being shoved down their throats and Europeans have had full year of brown people going around, raping, stealing and driving trucks around. I just can't see either of those populations being ecstatic to see the film.

And then Asians are notoriously racist. I highly doubt they'll be able to convince Chinese or Japanese to go see a film featuring fat brown girl.

That too. Not a single song in Moana is in the same universe of catchy as Let it go. You're Welcome comes pretty close and it is catchy but it's also funny, silly song, not exactly something that everyone can relate to and feel inspiration from like Let it go.

Neither of the main two songs, the one about ancestors that's boring as fuck and sounds uninspired, and the one Moana sings about how she has no limits or whatever, are really... there.

Honestly, the biggest problem is that it's another Brown Princess. White Princess sell well not only in the States but also overseas, Europeans and especially Asians don't want to see Brown Princesses, they want to see blonde, blue eyed Princess or close to that.

TROLLS did better then Moana in theaters overseas. TROLLS

You can deny this all you want but it's the simple truth. It's white Princess and the Frog did bad and it's why Moana did bad. The only reason Disney even does non-white Princesses is so they're not called racist by the country they're companies in. If they were more money minded they'd just make full on white princesses without even blinking.

Chinese fucking hate brown/black people. It's not going to do well.

I remember Tangled still having threads a long time after release, though that was mainly because of feetfags

Frozen had running generals for months and months, people would still debate over whether what's his face was premeditated or if it was spur of the moment betrayal.

The only two marketable races are white people and asian people.

Is there any evidence that they hate actors like Will Smith or Idris Elba? They put them in everything, even the posters

>According to boxofficemojo Moana is just 4 milion behind Frozen in the same amount of time.

No, it's 36 million behind. Frozen made 204 million within 28 days when you discount the almost week it had of early screening according to your source.

Those actors are exceptons to the rule. Seriously, you'd be surprised by how many supposed non-racists generally don't like black people but are happy to convince themselves otherwise by turning around and saying they like a handful of the ones they see in the media.

>>88601797

This is completely wrong.

White people don't go to see majority-asian movies (weebshits are not representative), and black people don't care about Mexican culture movies or Islander culture movies.
>>
>>88601797
Asians hate Asians, so it's completely wrong. Nobody in Japan was excited for Mulan.
>>
>>88602000
From what I've seen black people will watch almost any kind of movie since they're used to having to project their own traits onto non-black characters.

You may be right about white people though.

>>88601999
If you don't like black people then you don't like black people. All I'm saying is that you get people who insist they like black people because they do them the great service of seeing films starring Morgan Freeman while avoiding them in real life.

Black person here
I watch all the Disney movies, so does my entire family.

Personal favorite movie is Destino

>black people don't care about Mexican culture movies or Islander culture movies.

black people watch pretty much any movie if it interests them, they don't give a shit about race outside of trying to convince other races not to treat them like sub-humans
>>
>>88601797
>black protagonists hated by whites and Latinos.
But those people see movies with them as protags all the time, even more so Latinos.
>>
>>88602236
But they are sub-humans Anon. They'll watch anything to escape the truth, they're living trash

Oh it flopped? M-Maybe Disney will try to do a 2D animated film again ha h-ha ;-;

Tssh! Yeah, right...

Various reasons.

Some are justifiable, some are not. Some are based in reality and the flaws of black people/culture, others are based in scaremongering and the insecurity of other races. Some could potentially be remedied if we all just learned to stop trying to evade blame and accepted our flaws, others, I fear, are just too ingrained into the natural order to be changed.

All we can know is that, no matter what happens, black people will always be on the bottom of the dog pile.

Nah that's natives

>>88602429
As far as racial politics go, yeah, they're not overly judgmental outside of trying to assert their own racial significance.
>>
>>88602283
That's historically wrong as blacks loved black face at its height. Everyone enjoys stereotypes to a degree.
>>
>>88602506
This delusion
>>
>>88602544
I've never seen black people refuse to watch a movie or play a game because it has a white protagonist in it. The most they'll do is say there should be more shit with black protagonists.
>>
>>88602475
This to a degree, surely, scaremongering, insecurity but especially, ESPECIALLY the Social and Cultural climate of Black Society is what kills them. If you try to advance or become more then "ghetto" you're threatened, harassed and worse, killed.

If all you do is live in a poor area, the media tells others to be scared of you, your family and friends tell you to kill people and all you do is listen to rap music that tells you the only way to succeed is through violence what do you think is going to happen?

People ignore these things but Black American culture is probably one of the most negative and violent cultures/social constructs ever created. They hate themselves while others hate them, if they some how manage to succeed and escape that pithole you then have to worry about whites and other racist telling you how horrible you are and you will never succeed and if you somehow do you will never get a promotion.
>>
>>88602525
Uh no it's not, it's sciencetifically proven that blacks aren't even human, they're a sub-species of humans today. You know the blacks in Australia aren't even considered humans and are considered wildlife.
>>
>>88602525
Blackface wasn't some subversive use of stereotypes. It was literally just white actors putting on makeup to look black because the troop didn't hire any black actors. If a few blacks particularly liked plays with black face then it was simply because they had black characters, not because of some meta appreciation of stereotypes.
>>
>>88602581
As a black man, I can concur that black culture can be fundamentally toxic. There are positive aspects to it such as empowerment and offering a degree of independence from white culture, but I have to argue that the detraction from the prosperity of black people is just too weighty.

Mainstream black culture glorifies being impoverished, refusing to cooperate with laws and authority, superficiality, infidelity, hedonism, violence, factionalism and, perhaps most damagingly of all, the all pervasive victim complex that compels them to constantly blame all shortcomings on the system that keeps them down.

And while there are most assuredly instutions and sentiments that make it difficult for black people to succeed in America, I would say that a lot of our problems could be addressed if we just dialed back the radicality of our culture a little bit, accepted that not all of our faults are to be blamed on authority and tried to assimilate a bit better.

But then that would be asking a lot of any race.
>>
>>88602608
I'd argue that aboriginals aren't the same as blacks living in America but I know you don't actually care and that you'll twist anything to suit your preconception that blacks are shit so what's the point?
>>
>>88602970
The aboriginals not being the same as american blacks doesn't mean that they aren't both subhuman.
>>
>>88562693
you don't seem to realize how disney makes its money.

they don't make their money on boxoffice sales. they make it on toys.$284 mil is a drop in the ocean compared to the billions they make on merchandise.
>>
Was it better than Frozen?
>>
>>88603031
What classifies as subhuman?
>>
>>88602611
I know, I was countering the claim that media was used as an escape from stereotypes. Black Face is as blatant as it gets.
>>
>>88603622
Yes, and no. I think the main thing OP doesn't realize about Disney's movie box-office game is heavy-handed Hollywood accounting. They overstate the costs and understate the box and pay less taxes, pay the creators and actors smaller bonuses, etc, etc. Nothing against Disney, this is just how it works.
>>
>>88562693
It's a bad movie.

I went on tuesday night and I live in a pretty populated area of central Jersey, and my friends and I were pretty much the only people in the theater, bar maybe 5 other people.

Sure, it was a tuesday night, but it's also winter break for a lot of people

it's not 2050 year

most moviegoers are still white

>She is the first disney character in ages with a appealing design
THICCfags are the worst. Ana, Elsa, and Rapunzel are all very clearly more attractive than Moana, and it's not even the skin color thing.
>>
>>88604128

Moana isn't even thick. Her tits are smaller than Elsa's.
>>
>>88601378
Because it's not just American market that matters anymore. The reason why Frozen broke 1.1B$ needed to beat Toy Story 3 is entirely because of Asian markets (China, Korea, Japan) and the reason Frozen ended up at 1.25B$ is because of Asian markets.

Moana will do slightly worse in NA but much worse overseas so the total won't be as high. I'll honestly be surprised if it beats Lion King's 970M$.

So why is Seven Samurai the second most copypasted movie plot in hollywood?
>>
>>88579603
Rapunzel and Elsa are both objectively prettier than her. Not even talking about any racist shit but even when considered within their individual races Punzy and Elsa are both strong 10/10s and Moana, even when compared to other Pacific Islanders, is 6/10 at best.
