How long until studios stop advertising in America and full on go for the foreign market?
Pretty soon Bay is just gonna say fuck it and hire only Chinese actors and VAs and there will be optional English subs
Why not go back to making mid range films so you don't need to make 100 billion in the first weekend to break even ?

this. all of the best movies were made in that mid range budget space.

I don't know how the chinese havn't done this on their own
Make their own massive blockbusters for world audiences
they already have a foot in the door with jackie chan

Oh God this could free up Bay to find a newer, vastly less shitty classic franchise to start raping next
>>84155371
>$15m in one day is a bad thing now
Far we have strayed from the sight of God. For fuck's sake this is getting really stupid.
Spend too much on a stupid movie > make a massive loss > wonder where you went wrong > don't learn anything, repeat.
It's always the same story
Should have released it on the 4th of July when summer really kicks into gear
So it only took a gorillion Transformers movies for americans to finally get sick of them. I thought this shit would go on forever

It's not even the movie that kills the budget, it's the advertising.

Return of Xander Cage made like 90% of its prophet from foreign market and China. The entire movie was a giant China cock tease.

Same for video games; they spend millions on marketing then wonder why they can't make the money back via sales. But they keep doing it so what do I know, maybe they're right
Good riddance. They were just starting a cinematic universe with the Bumblebee spin off too.
Wait China and Russia will give this thing a billion.
i enjoy the transformers movies.
>tfw Bay gets fired or leaves and Transformers FINALLY becomes a fun sci-fi adventure movie series
I always say Spielberg should have directed the first one himself. Things would be so different now if that were the case.

>cinematic universe
Everything is a fucking cinematic universe these days. I'm waiting for the all-encompassing Disney universe that has Simba, Aladdin and Belle on a quest against some new evil they can make plushies of

Bay has already said this is the last Transformers film he'll have any part of. He says he's absolutely sick of them.
Any executives reading this. Go fall on a knife you shit fucks.
They're going to have to. Movie budgets are so inflated now that they rely on absolute domination in both markets to recoup. It's like double booking on an airplane. Kind of.

People don't go to the cinema for mid range movies anymore, if it doesn't look like it has a lot of expensive cgi they'll "catch it on netflix".

Lets also state that China now has top tier special effects.
I think they will never stop advertising here because it still gives some money. But China will definitely become the focus of moviemakers. They are just more and more people.
