Why did it flop?

>>82286793
For the millionth time:

Animefags don't want to see their precious Japanese cartoons sullied by the west.

Normies don't give a fuck about anime and think it looks weird.

SJWs who would normally see a movie headlined by a woman refused to see it because "whitewashing."

15 minutes on twitter could have saved the studio the entire cost of production in this thing.

What does these expressions of hers are she trying to convey?

Cause Tubby Johansson is overrated

>>82286793
It didn't look interesting

>>82286793
By trying to appeal to every demographic, it lost everyone's attention.

>>82286793
1. Whitewashing thing. It's stupid, but SJW's can bring a new and weak production down.

2. ScarJo. For some she's hot, and I do sometimes consider her pretty, but she looked awful in the skin suit. To flabby to be a Special Ops agent.

3. They didn't know how to adapt the source material. I'm not saying it needs to go the same thing as Oshii's movie, but at the end of the name they ended up doing a not as skilled Jason Bourne thingy with tech babble.

Matrix is still the better adaptation of the concepts shown in GiTS.

high tech isn't in. you gotta do pacific rim mecha big balls or space stuff.

this

To give the original material justice you'd have to force Michael Mann to direct this while he was in his prime in the 90s.

Only he can bring together gun porn, attention to detail, flawed operators and contemplative pauses the way they were played out in the anime movie.

>>82286793
Its a bad adaption, why watch it when there's something better, or a better version of it?

>>82287331
>shit adaptation of a shit source material
Woah, who totally didn't see this coming?

Most people don't know about the anime, and she didn't looked like the totally non-white original character.

>>82286793

Ghost in the Shell is niche as fuck, outside of anime fans. It never had a chance with mainstream appeal.

>>82286906 she feels like shit atm, and just went through a big break up.

It didnt flop, you dipshit retard

They made the decision to make an amalgam of both the show and movie instead of just adapting the movie
Although general audiences are morons and probably wouldn't even understand the original story and its themes so it would have flopped anyways
its doomed no matter what, thats what happens when you take something thats completely fine on its own, something that has aged just fine and is watchable today and try to make something out of its name

>>82287792
Yes it did, dumb ass.

>>82286793
is there a good rip out?

>>82287947
fuck off retard

It didn't flop though, did it?

>>82287195
Ironically in the GitS future there is mass immigration and its extremely likely that Japans demographics changed so it makes sense that Togusa and Motoko are very caucasian looking. To actually think that the Major should be played by an Asian is Richard Spencer tier thinking.

>>82288012
B-But /tv/ said it was a flop!
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>82288012
>56 million dollars
>flop

lol. also how much you think they'll make from DVD sales, merch, licensing to TV/netflix etc? movies dont just stop making money a month after release ya retarded fuck. come on, think a little, huh?

>>82288116
when you factor in advertising it didnt do that well

they probably wont bother making another one for such a mediocre return

>>82288122
>>82288116
you do understand this doesnt take into the marketing for it which ill just assume was pretty big considering there were shit for it everywhere also the theater chain takes a part of that money it doesnt just all go to the studio

because of bad casting. And I'm not even talking about white washing, no one gives a shit about that. I don't know who started the idea that scarlett was some female action star, but she sucks. The movie would have been a million times better if they literally just put keanu reeves in a wig and called him major. He wouldn't even have to shave. The movie needed that type of performance.

>>82288122
>he doesn't understand how box office works

1) the producers only get around half of the box office gross due to cuts
2) production does not include marketing costs
3) marketing is extremely expensive and sometimes can be as much as, if not double the size of, the production budget

>>82287735
is it real though?

the story and scarjo were both awful

the story is a bad robocop adaption. boring and predictable.

scarjo is wooden and sucks the life out of the movie with every second she is on screen. stoic monotone is not a substitute for acting.

never touches on the theme of what it means to be human.

has none of the goofy violence and lewdness of the manga.

>>82288218
yes its real

>>82288122
Ignoring the marketing budget and "Hollywood accounting" is naive too.
These days if a movie doesn't make nearly a billion dollars its considered to have done pretty poorly.
I don't agree but that's unsustainability in an oversatured market for you.

>>82288122
>deluded weeb is so butthurt that he's trying to act like 56 million return on a product that cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make is good
>he also thinks that 100 million box office is a lot

LMAO

But he's in his prime now, anon. It's like you don't get Mann at all.

I agree.

I am going to watch the HDrip that just came out, and it's probably going to make me aroused

>It didn't flop because muh revenue (which in itself was miniscule)

Reviews were shit or lukewarm at best. And most importantly, virtually nobody talks about it now, only a short time after release. I haven't heard anyone mention it IRL. No news online. This is the first thread in weeks. Zero cultural impact is a flop in my book.

they will whine about muh adaptations and the west disrespecting japanese stuff and then go back at worshipping japan when they turn some historical western figure into some moe female or other stuff like that

Urban Dredd is a master piece.

Stallone Dredd is so bad it is good for the wrong reason

GitS will be neither.

>>82289014
go watch the GitS:SAC episode where the Major and Aramaki are in London. There is a shot where the Major and some British women are in profile and facing each other.

They have different skull shapes and skin tones.

>>82289014
Are you retarded? All manga and anime are drawn with the concept of the character being Asian. Despite how over dramatic they make some features.

>>82289128
lol. delusional weeb

>>82286906
Too much because GitS movie Motoko doesn't show expressions.

i'm mildly upset it flopped. we could have gotten a whole series of shiro masamune films perfectly realized in a gritty western style

http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/09/01/why-do-anime-characters-look-white/

It didn't flop. Almost any high budget action movie with an attractive lead will do well worldwide. I don't know why it didn't do that well stateside though, maybe generic action sci-fi just isn't that popular right now.

I bet if ayy lmaos came to earth they'd ask why we had japanese cartoons with them in it. Anime barely looks human and it certainly doesn't look like any race in particular.

>>82289289
The movie appealed to nobody. Casual movie goers didn't care. Fans of the IP didn't care. And only making $56 million more than the production budget isn't good enough. Taking into account all future revenue sources and everybody getting their post-release cut, it broke even.

>>82289289
it had a 110mil budget, so 220mil total after marketing. it barely brought that in total sales meaning it was a flop.

I'm not saying that she's white, or isn't Asian. I'm saying that she doesn't LOOK Asian at all, and never has.

You're lying to yourself if you think Japanese cartoon characters look Asian.

>>82289426
>it broke even.
LOL, no.

>>82286793 >>82287195
there are many reason why ghost in the shell bomb at the box office. yes SJW pushing Whitewashing is one the reason. other reason why is rupert sanders. if you watch her press tour for the movie, it sound she try keep many of them theme from cartoon to the movie

>>82288122
>82288122
when you see the budget double it to account for marketing and promotional stuff.

>>82286873
So it did everything possible to alienate any audience it had or could have had. Really makes you think...
