Big budget live-action Gundam movie

Pacific Rim only barely succeeded due to China.
Power Rangers is a massive flop.
GITS is fantastic but still ends up being a flop.
>we can market mecha to normalfags and casuals.
Yes if it's super casualized and utter piece of shit like Transformers.

sure it was shit, but jesus it bring a lotta money even set a record

there's must be something Bay did it right, but what?

Nostalgia + cool robots doing cool things = money

foreign sales don't mean shit and only like first week (or so) sales mean anything

1st TF movie was great. That was probably enough for the normalfag retards to watch the others even if they were shit. The audience for cinema now is families and couples, they need retarded brain dead movies like Bay does.

From what I've read the studio gets about 1/2 of domestic ticket sales and 1/3 of foreign sales.
That's why you hear shit like a $150 mil movie having to gross $500 mil to be profitable, if total box office = production budget, that's a flop

That plus don't they usually include marketing and advertising costs as well.

>GITS is fantastic

>>15419241
god damn that suit looks awful.
even for 17 years ago, that is fugly.

It would be okay if not for that rocket shark fin thing on its back.

>>15419313
This so much. Michael Bay depiction of the colony drop plus glorious Feddiewank is going to be the best Gundam ever.

Pleb with no taste

Some times I wonder how about how things would be if a live action War in the Pocket was being made. It's a simple story, doesn't need a large budget since there's not that many fights, a great intro into UC, no need for whitewashing since everyone's already white and you could shoot it shot for shot the same as the show and still have it be the running time of an average movie. Ah well, if we get anything it'd be fucking gundam wing.
