2016 had the record for most box office bombs in a year with

Remakes.

Power rangers will without a doubt be on the 2017 list the only question is how big will the flop be.

Well thankfully the dudes that created it are literally funded by Nike so they can never die.

>reveneue is higher than cost
>loss is positive

>>79429913

Most of those aren't even bombs.

>>79430176
there is advertising costs plus the distributor takes money plus the cinemas get half of every ticket.

I haven't seen a single one of those movies and never will. Feels good, man.

rule of thumb: movie needs to gross twice the production budget to be profitable.

>>79430288
(((They))) also never tell you that they always recoup those costs and more in the home market. When was the last time they ever said how many copies they sell to Redbox or license it to be on HBO/Showtime/whatever and Netflix and pay per view and everything else?

>>79430381
Meaning they just don't want to pay the people that made the movie? I heard they do that.

>>79429913
how come the adjusted for inflation loss is lower than the nominal for Pete's Dragon?

Damn, even the gun control thrillers aren't raking in the dough anymore

>>79430371
you are welcome to research the facts on the internet. You will find that my statement is accurate.

I don't know how it's everywhere else but at least here in Finland the ticket prices just keep getting higher and higher

what goes through their mind when they spend 100 mil+ making a movie? do they really think they will make a profit off that?

why spend hundred of millions on a-list actors, effects, and advertising, when they could make a cheaper film with a good script and have it be a bigger success?

>>79430449
that is probably true. I did by no means intend to defend the movie industry. I just wanted to explain how the losses are calculated.

Production budgets keep being over inflated
Box office revenue keeps increasing in terms of breaking even

This will literally cause the movie industry to implode, which is why they're selling it to China

You can read about this on box office mojo FAQ. Only half of box office $ goes to the studio and marketing is never included in production budget.

Why are the viewing public so fickle?

>>79430502

Except if you yourself actually researched those numbers, you'd know the speed at which money is recouped is a huge factor. The 50% rule is median. The first weeks gross goes more to the studios than 50% and decreases after that. It typically starts at 75% and decreases week after week as studios have to essentially pay to have theaters keep the film instead of chucking it for a new release.

The numbers people throw out are just random guesses, not actual figures.

A bomb is a film that makes significantly less box office than prod. budget.

Tip: Studios used to see simply breaking even in the US as the point of a successful flick. Movies make as much in the home market as they do in the theaters most of the time.

>>79429913
I went and saw Gods of Egypt. I tried really really hard to like it.

It was just mediocre in every facet.

The only cool part was the re-imagining of Ra rising and setting the sun over the earth, and protecting it from Apophis

Too bad the rest of the re-interpreted and changed greek myths were really boring. The whole script was fucking garbage.

>Gun Control: The Movie

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

How on earth Miss Sloane had a such low budget?

I thought gun control was a hugely popular topic in the Jewlywood.

>>79430676
Because there's dozens of movies coming out at the same time. People aren't starved for choice like they were forty years ago

Big movies became too expensive to make, so the creative control is lost to a bunch of fat cats who stopped watching movies back in the eighties, when they fucked their first hollywood kid actor.
It's not just a problem in movie industry, wealth accumulation and limited market space is fucking up almost everything. Capitalism is simply great, isn't it?
Well at least the chinks are now getting wealthy, so they're a giant viable market for this bullshit to go on for another decade.

>>79429913
how much of creative accounting was used by the Hollyjews tho?

Star Trek Beyond wasn't great but I really hope it didn't kill the franchise.

>>79430823
>>79430820

I liked the trailer.

Does gun control play a huge part in it?

It's literally described as a "gun control thriller"

Lucas and Spielberg predicted it. It will only get worse.

>>79431127
>>79431049
Oof
I didnt really look into it. The trailer looked like it could be an ok thriller.

Im not super pro-gun nowadays, but id probably be too triggered to watch it.

>>79430961

Okay hang on.

Alice in Wonderland had a sequel? BFG was remade? Why was Pete's Dragon even made? And goddamn, how did TMNT get made and released so quick?

I had no fucking idea so many of these were being made, let alone got released

>>79429913
>movie tickets overinflated to $15-20 a pop
>concessions are still universally regarded as outright price gouging
>Hollywood is barren of all original IPs; people getting extremely tired of remakes/revisions, adaptations, sequels/prequels etc. The few original scripts that get produced usually have a big name behind them and that's usually the only reason they get made meaning you usually get dog shit like Live by Night (although that's an adaptation too lmao)
>HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, Netflix, Redbox, and cable providers are in an arms race to acquire distribution rights to movies to put them out faster than each other.

the industry refuses to innovate or budge from their stagnant practices and are getting economically destroyed by a generation that is more consumer savvy than any before it. capitalism at it's best.
