why aren't more studio blockbusters released in black

Because nobody cares about "muh deep artistic integrity" in blockbusters

but with how focused the visual aesthetic of this film is on contrast, it must have looked like shit in color. why release an inferior version? would normies really not go see an X-Men movie just because it's in black and white?

>>83086699
because its a fucking gimmick filter that only autist like

movies were in black and white for decades before color came along. plenty of masterpieces were shot in black and white after the advent of color film - Branded to Kill and Psycho come to mind. why is it a gimmick now? just because color is the norm?

Yeah there are a ton of people who won't watch black & white films because they automatically think it'll be boring or something. It's the sad truth.

>implying black and white was a choice back then

because color is more stimulating and therefore more pleasing to the brain

i really find it hard to believe they'd be so turned off by the color palette even when it's a major entry into a well-liked franchise.

i'm well aware that both of those films were shot in black and white due to budgetary constraints, but to suggest that Suzuki and Hitchcock didn't shoot differently in color and in monochrome implies a lack of familiarity with their work

Always been a thing since color was introduced in movies.

Studios were originally trying to make Mel Brooks make Young Frankenstein color, completely missing what they were trying to satirize.

You're an idiot if you think that looks good. The only thing it has going for it is contrast. all the detail is lost in a mush of greys

You can't just take color stills and slap a monochrome filter over it and post "muh b&w" it is nothing like a movie that was filmed on b&w stock

die pls

Some people just instantly hate something the moment they see it's black and white. Old movies especially, but even modern stuff. They have no good reason for it, they just hate it.

why don't you wait for the silent edition, where they put all the dialogue on interspersed screens

I wish more films would use film instead of digital. It gives such a sanitized look to the picture it makes me sick. For example Prometheus and The Martian, it makes the sets look fake even though they are practical

there is actually a B&W version released for Logan, so please kys

it's a gimmick to get people to see a movie a second time. as far as gimmicks go it isn't a terrible one, but its purpose is primarily to sell tickets and not to explore its artistic ability
