That's because it didn't follow any of the Power Rangers formula.

It's almost as if making a Power Rangers movie that tosses out every recognizable element of Power Rangers was a bad idea.

But they had a negro, a dyke and an autist! How could this much corporate pandering fail?

>>82710458
You're forgetting the biggest part of the Power Rangers formula:
>cheese

Power Rangers has always been campy as fuck. I'm sure the seriousness of this flick drove away a lot of true Power Rangers fans.

but it says they made 35 million profit there

>>82710786
Hollywood is dumb but they aren't that dumb. This flick had a production budget of $100 and it'll be lucky to hit $160 million at the box office. It would need to make AT LEAST $200 million for them to greenlight a sequel and that isn't going to happen.

>>82710919
>100 million budget for a Power Rangers movie

easily could have used half the money if they used spandex

>>82711024
Marketing budget. Plus Hollywood doesn't get every penny of the box office, they have to split the profits with the movie theaters.

>>82711089
And they don't get as much from the foreign market.

>>82711089
It drives me nuts that so many people are ignorant of this. Even ignoring marketing, do these morons think theaters show these films out of the goodness of their heart?

>>82709026
My god, couldn't they get a better black guy for the role? He looks like some ghetto monkey from the southside of Chicago.

Adapting pic related would have been a bigger success if they were able to get back the original cast (minus Trini sadly).

>>82709026
I wonder how much Haim Saban personally lost from this.

>>82710458
Also, perhaps the IP isn't that strong? If the movie had those problems fixed and bombed, the explanation would be that it didn't connect well with audiences.

>>82711524
Would it have? Normies enjoy being reminded of the things they liked when they were kids, but I don't think they actually enjoy those things anymore. That's why there's so many adaptions of cartoons and anime instead of the actual thing being wide released in theaters. At most it would be a tv movie with an anime like limited release in theaters.

>>82711679
Hopefully enough to where he'll have to sell it again to someone else.

>>82710919
Toy sales are through the roof though, so a sequel is pretty much conformed.

>>82710584
did WB/DC make it?

They should have made it a super corny film where the rangers were in spandex fighting silly looking monsters while the rest of the world had to deal with their city leveling fallout and the existence of monsters.

>>82711718
If they had the original Tommy and Kimberly and Jason up there on the big screen in their original suits I absolutely believe nostalgiafags would have piled in for that. The Dino Charge cast would have appealed to today's kids. It'd be a great way to bring together both new and old fans. It'd certainly have been a better way to go than a $100 million dollar reboot which goes out of it's way to not resemble the source material.

power rangers was always for retards who liked stupid action and cheesy production values.

most of the retards grew up and are too busy watching capeshit now. the nostalgia isn't enough to make them want to see this cinematic abortion.

>>82711729
Saban is a billionaire, he'll be fine.

>>82711767
>Toy sales are through the roof
Got a source to back that up? Because the stock of your local Toys R Us isn't indicative of sales being through the roof. Though even if toy sales were phenomenal that's not enough to put a sequel out to a giant bomb like this.

didnt even know it was out

>>82710458
>>They spend a grand total of 20 minutes in suit
That's because Saban spent something crazy like 70% of the movies budget on marketing. Thats why you barely see the suits.

Im surprised it bombed

And they were talking about having 6 sequels

The marketing budget doesn't come out of the film's budget. They're two different things.

>>82714103
I'm really surprised they wouldn't try to do a 21 Jumpstreet style reboot where it's meta and they lay into the camp. I think that would've done a lot better with kids and adults.

>>82714078
>And they were talking about having 6 sequels
Not only that but they set up Tommy in a sequel we will never see. They set up the movie everyone wanted and they won't deliver. Reminds me of when Street Fighter Legend of Chun Li promised Ryu and Ken in the sequel. How about you start with that movie?

>>82714233
Superman Returns also fucked up with this & they promised actually fight scenes & bad guys in the sequel

Man of Steel with it's flaws aside, was smart to start with Zod & have some DBZ fight scenes

>>82714233
To be fair you can't really do Tommy in a first movie. The team needs to have their origins and beat some bad guys before he's brought in.

>>82710919
>They easily lost 100 million dollars. Likely more.

That would be with a huge AAA marketing, i havent seen anything advertising the movie.

Then you weren't paying attention. Film was pretty highly marketed leading up to release. If they spent $70 mil on marketing they'd be looking at around $100 mil loss right now, and $70 mil would be low for a film like this which they were hoping to make a franchise out of. They probably spent more marketing than they actually did making the film.

Please, learn what GROSS means!

This is box office GROSS, not NET.

The movie studio/distributor gets at best 60% of the box office money, the rest goes to the theatres, and that is DOMESTIC box office, if we are talking overseas it's much less, China has a law which means foreign movie companies only get 25% of the chinese gross, and in the rest of the world it's ~25-35%.

So this was a box office failure now that China didn't save it.

Production budget $100 million
+ unknown advertising budget, let's say $25 million, that's a LOW estimate

Made $84 million domestic, of which the studio gets (at best) ~$50 million, and in foreign gross it made a measly $50 million sofar, of which the studio gets ~12.5 million.

Total cost ~$125 million (low estimate)
What the studio earned at the box office: ~$62.5 million

So unless the toy franchise made BIG MONEY, this movie is a big loss.

They are pandering to the wrong demographic.

SJW's would never go to see Power Rangers or Chickbusters in droves. It's just not their type of movie.

Hardcore 80s/90s kid fans are, however they are not going to pay to see a film drenched in SJW approved political correctness.

What's the point? Aren't they supposed to release it there earlier to discourage pirating? Every chink who would want to see it has already seen a ripped version.

The 90s had the bitter breath of PC death breathing down it's neck, but it wasn't as bad as it is now.

Yes, I know that the actress that plays her in the new movie is Jewish. Still shouldn't have race swapped her though.

Ok, well they technically race swapped everyone since they were all Japanese originally.

>>82711710

This. It just didn't do anything right. Power Rangers is supposed to be cheesy as fuck shlock with mechas battling shit in between.

Those in charge played it too safe. Don't stray from what it actually is. Go all out. Hell, the show did and that's why it was successful.

>>82720939
Wow what the fuck? When did Japan start making Power Rangers?

>>82710458
It actually followed the series' formula just fine. 80% of an average MMPR episode is just filler with the Rangers walking around and learning something about life. There's short intermezzi with Rita, but ultimately the actual fight scenes in suits happen during the last 4 Minutes.

>>82720977

The problem is that they spent too much on it. If they had simply made it a campy as fuck cheaply done affair with a little pizzazz they could have saved money and a lot more people would have probably gone and seen it.

Instead they made a big dumb Michael Bay like Transformers clone with teenage drama which is what nobody wanted but a budget to rival that.

>>82714217
>>82714103
Actually i think it didnt take itself seriously enough.
Proper character arcs, proper motivation and goals to the villain, well balanced stakes and no easy solutions is what it needed.
Instead we got edgy, not serious with as much shitty camp as before only badly done, constant deus ex machines to solve everything and almost 0 stakes when everything can be solved by another writer ass pull.

>>82721117
>proper motivation and goals to the villain

You do realize the entire plot of the original was "AFTER 10,000 YEARS I'M FREE! TIME TO CONQUER EARTH!"?

>>82721166
And?
Why copy the flaws of the original?
Why not actually improve where you can, things like this is exactly what should be changed as its not important to the power ranger premise and what they stand for, not fucking butchering the suit design instead.
