What if the movie flops at the box office?

>>30479917
nah, the movie will not be a season 7 finale, more like a expansion of some episode.

>>30479917
If the toys sell decently, then nothing will change besides there not being a sequel.

>>30479917

The studios will shift their focus back onto EQG.

>>30480012
This is a separate team.

It will flop in pure box office but will probably still profit from merchandise sales.

>>30479917
Everyone who shunned EQG will go into theaters to see actual ponies.

>>30479917
It's a fancy flash movie. They probably only have to make 2 million bucks to make a profit.
And for every second or third ticket sold, you can add at least $40 for MLP toys the parents will have to buy for their kids.

>>30479986
>Then
people are saying that now because of it catering to furries
>>30479917
>if
kids cartoon movies that aren't Disney, Pixar or Dreamworks rarely profit, luckily mlp has toys to make up for it

I'm dreading the day when there will be an Undertale and Steven Universe movie
I read somewhere that a FNAF movie was in the works
if mlp does flop, it would ensure that those movies ever get made

>>30480068
>ever

>>30480064

Hard to know what the budget is for this, but likely most of it will be going towards the celebrity voices and appearances and marketing. I'd say the budget falls somewhere between $50-75 million.

If the movie flips but sales still roll in, it will encourage hasbro to not put any money or effort into their pony products anymore.

The show will degrade even further as hasbro shifts even more into "LOL, ITS FOR LITTLE GIRLS MODE", secure in toy sales being just as good if they produce shit as if they try and make a quality product.
Meghan will be disgraced, and Glimmer will become even MORE pushed, as Haber, Jim and vogel will seem far more on the ball than McCarthy and their idea of a mary sue poochie being the "right" way to take the show.

Modern movies make far more money through merchandise than they do box office sales. Hence why so many of the most popular kid's movies now are utterly shameless toy commercials, ie Cars, Minions, Trolls.

This movie definitely has some good merch going for it, and I think it will likely sell very well.

>>30479917
It won't, not in an economic sense
Even if it only makes 25-50 million it'll still turn a huge profit.

You want to know why Cars 2 was made? Disnyer pushed Pixar into making another Cars movie, but the studio really wanted to do a spy flick.
Disney pushed a Cars movie because Cars has made more money in merchandinsing than every other Pixar movie COMBINED, by a large margin.
Why do you think the movie is introducing so many new characters and ships and shit? SO they can seel plenty of toys, which is where the real money is.
I'd guarantee at least 3 movies, as the toy revenue alone will keep the movie profitable, between kids and we sockfucking degenerates

Plus I work part-time at a movie theater, and during starts (checking the movie at the beginning, making sure ads are running, sound, temperature, etc.) reaction to the trailer has been pretty good, little girls pointing to the poster and asking to go (and some groups of teens talking about it.
In conclusion, it won't flop, at least not financially.

>>30481080
You people really overreact.
I don't think Meghan McCarthy is good at writing action plots anyway.

>>30481783
>that toy
Damnit hasbro, stop throwing your fucking money away, girls don't want fucking action toys. just focus on the brushables and seapony toys.

I'm driving out two towns over to see it, gonna go to the latest screening possible, too.

>>30481080
But it IS for little girls

Look what happened with the Powerpuff Girls Movie: it flopped miserably because nobody wanted to go and see a "girls" movie. And that was an actually pretty good movie.

This will likely fall to the same fate, but even harder, since MLP is much more well known as a "girls" thing.

It will be lucky to make back the production costs in toy sales.

Im not gonna see it, but I will still buy a ticket

She is not a good writer for movies.

Was afraid of it at first, but fans of the trailer songs band will go watch it just to hear the fucking song cause fuckng bandfans. Also Sia.

I have this problem too. Movie will air but with local dubbing (which is OK, but I prefer original).

I seriously doubt any cinema will air this with original audio. Sucks, but I will go to see the movie anyway.

>>30489975
cont

Just checked plane ticket prices to London. This would make watching the movie 10x more expensive but shit i am considering it.

>>30489975
I like our dub and appreciate the work of our VAs, and I'm interested the dubbing process at all to begin with. But there's a high chance that the movie won't save VAs from the show and that will feel extremely uncomfortable for me. But our distributor makes limited English showings from time to time so maybe we'll be lucky with the MLP movie too.

>>30489986
>But our distributor makes limited English showings

Should I call cinemas and ask for this? No way they would waste cinema time showing children's movie in foreign language.

If they don't air the version in English where I'm at I'm gonna be so mad. Fuck man, kids know English here, even I did way back in my time. But they keep pushing the cancerous dubs which I could never stand.

>>30479917
It won't. People love comparing MLP to Smurfs, Trolls, Jem, etc, but MLP is a far more popular franchise than them. The movie won't have the runaway success that major animated films get, but the chance that it totally bombs is slim.

>>30482129
Friend of mine said he'll call me if it shows up in theaters near us. So yeah, just might.

What if we're wrong, and the movie becomes the highest-grossing animated film of all time?

Do you worry that the celebrities and their characters in the movie will get more marketing than the main cast (Tara, Ashleigh, Andrea, etc)?

Why do you think they might get more?

Its about as good of a motivation as any of the villains; Sombra just wanted power, Sunset just wanted power, the Sirens just wanted green fart gas (and power), Tirek wanted power...
Oh, and starlight was sad her next door neighbor moved away when she was 10.

>>30494394

The movie was rather cheap anyway so they don't need to make a shit ton of cash to make profits. The only relevant thing they are up against during release is Bladerunner 2049

america has a much harsher pedohunt culture than other countries, a male going to see a children's movie is viewed as "pedophile until proven innocent" by our culture.
So we tend to be more worried about going to see little girls movies than other countries.
