>the August box office, where revenue for the weekend could hit its lowest level in more than 15 years, in addition to being down nearly 50 percent from the same frame last year.

for people who don't know, in the summer movie should be earning 50 million in a weekend bare minimum.

even the weekend after 9/11 they earned more than this, and that was one of the slowest ever.

this is a huge signal of a shift in the public consciousness that we haven't ever seen before
>>
>>86898995

Probably because they keep releasing shit movies. It's either capeshit or remakes these days, even when they try do an original story they always find a way to make it shit.

Honestly don't blame people for not going to the movies anymore, only film I have paid to see all year was Dunkirk.

You're making a point taken from /pol/, but I sort of agree. The majority of movies have always been a little more left-winged but now the majority of movies feel like they're trying to inform everyone about how racist and sexist everyone is. I don't give a shit if they replace a male character with a women or a white person with a black based on them being a better actor, but now it's obvious that there is an agenda to it because they put so much effort into pointing out that OMG this guy is black now.

If you want to empty the room at a fun party, start talking about religion or politics. That is all that movies are doing now and the theaters are empty. Go figure.
>>
>>86899081
>>86899686
I honestly don't even think it's any kind of agenda, I think they're just trying to pander to something that they think is "in" because those kind of people are the loudest, just shows how out of touch they are really.

>>86899686

I agree as well to an extent. These issues that you've pointed out also inhibit the stories these people wish to tell. Nothing can be offensive, characters can not be offensive, nothing can be triggering, and everything has to be inclusive. When you put all that restraint on writing, you're only going to come up with the same characters and the same tone for the stories every time.

Birth of the Dragon is a Bruce Lee biopic centered on an OC white dude because white people can't relate to chinks, which ironically it's the reason why Bruce Lee was kicked off from Kung Fu in favor of David Carradine. Isn't that right wing enough for you?

Capeshit killed cinema.

nobody bothers to watch other type of movies anymore.

I think there are several reasons for this:

>ticket prices keep rising and rising and rising
>snack prices have been crazy for a long time already
>projectors at home became very affordable
>people in cinemas have less and less manners. talking, loud laughing, mobile phone noises etc have become a norm in many cinemas.

Why should I spend loads of money to sit in a cinema where noisy people ruin the movie, while I could be at home - at my comfortable couch, eating a delicous pizza and just enjoy the movie?

Who's even supposed to be the audience for this movie? The plot is almost entirely fictional, so it's not a biopic, it looks like it's more of a drama than a martial arts movie, and Bruce Lee isn't the main character. Did whoever greenlit the movie really expect people to want to see a movie vaguely about a contested story in an actor's life that's been fictionalized beyond recognition?

Just the idea that this movie exists is kind of baffling to me; it's the perfect example of Hollywood making an incredible stupid choice and then being confused about why it failed.

Best part is that the trailers showing on Raw and Smackdown have been entirely about Bruce and the white lead has been entirely cut. Think about it, even WWE know it's a terrible idea to make a Bruce Lee movie centered on a vanilla white guy. I mean, fucking WWE. Wrestling has always been a redneck entertainment but even these guys know better than Hollywood

This is great.
Big budget studio products will finally fall down and all what we'll be left with is pure unadulterated kinos made by directors who wanted to make them out of passion to make them, not because a studio exec calculated the current market demand for it.
Now we just have to find a way for the chinese to stop giving shekels for braindead american blockbusters and we're set for a proper kino renaissance.
>>
The reason why profit is down is because the people are going through capeshit fatigue. It was bound to happen when you release a capeshit movie every two or three months. Hollywood needs to figure out some other unoriginal property they can exploit for cash.

A new Avengers hits next year and is going to make a lot of money. You people keep crying about capeshit, but when was the last one, Spider-Man? And despite being an under-performer for the franchise it's still making more money than most movies do.

Earlier anon had it right, this isn't a matter of Hollywood finally falling for your sakes, it's just re-enforcing to them that comic adaptations are the only thing that makes money.

Probably due to there being too many films, plenty of which are shit. On top of that cinema tickets are expensive and food & drink is a fucking rip off.

Most people haven't had a pay rise since the economic crash, but that hasn't stopped prices continuing to rise. So people have less money to spend on things that dont really matter in the grand scheme of things, which includes movies.

This new Pennywise has to be the scariest movie monster we've seen in years. Literally years. There's two scenes in this movie that absolutely sent shivers down my spine. First when Pennywise possesses the slideshow and we finally get to see his very creepy and mental face in the final scene. What a build-up! I nearly pissed myself.

The other one is in the basement, first we see the excellent performance by Georgie's actor. You'll float too never has sounded more epically scary. And then Pennywise rises from the waters. I jumped in my chair and still do when watching this. I can tell I will be on the edge of my seat in theatres this september.

The release of the Lord of the Rings trilogy in the early 2000's, along with the first 3 Harry Potter films before they went to shit, and even the Star Wars prequels, that was a lot of hype. We never get that anymore, you are right about that.

I guess there was hype for that Star Wars reboot and Jurassic Park reboot though, but it wasn't as much as before and I expect a lot was media manipulation as well, especially with that shitty Star Wars reboot.

Fair enough. There's so much shit to do that waiting 3-4 months for a BD release is the easiest thing ever. Dunkirk is the only must-watch film from this year so far that I'd actually recommend to watch in a cinema. Everything else you're better off watching at home.

I've been watching some Kubrick films on my laptop lately that are 480p or below in quality and they are much better than anything released in the last decade. Hell, I started working at the theatre this year and get to watch most of this year's films for free and they still don't compare at all.
>>
>>86900696
>What the fuck is even on right now?

Depends entirely what kind of films you like. Dunkirk is decent war film. Valerian is neat looking scifi film if you like visually brilliant stuff and don't care pretty brainless plot that shits on source material, also worst casting ever.
>>
>>86898995

Well maybe if they stopped making such shitty movies this wouldn't be happening.
>>
>>86902653

People WANTED to be hyped about Star Wars, they wanted that return to the good old days when movies were a cultural landmark that EVERYONE could enjoy. Back in the day, even small movies like big trouble in little chine or escape from la could get a cult following.

Remember the 80s over the top action hero era? Rambo, Predator, Commando, oily men and blondes, shit was silly but FUN.

Or the teen era comedies, or the cult classic The Breakfast Club? It had the best nerd girl EVER.

And you could really see the desperation for that participation in everyone screeching over Star Wars.

Goddamn I want to go back to when we weren't so fucking overssaturated and locked into big budget crap. Cinema was magical back then, now it's just a CGI souless shitfest almost all of the time. Practical effects are underrated as fuck.

I know some little shitcunts gonna link me that gay Youtube rant about how CGI is actually so good but it's not. It's trash. Even minor shit in the background or changing the sky, it's noticeable and looks fake compared to watching classic cinema.

Back then talented guys could just write good stories and get low to medium budgets for their scripts, and then compete with making films and get really good at it and end up making classics. Now we just endlessly reuse the same old actors and directors, recycling these burnt out old farts doing expensive reboots that are fucking shit. And now the old farts are retiring and the new no name guys are being shoved in the directors chair of billion dollar productions for their first big feature, and if they fuck up, that's it, their careers over, no one will hire the guy who failed to make a profit on a 100 million dollar film. So they play it super safe. All these new directors have no discernible style and as essentially just workman for a production company. They can't afford to take the risk to make their own unique style with no reputation and all that money riding on their skills.

We need young talent with small to medium budgets and creative freedom in Hollywood right now.

The biggest threat to Hollywood is apathy. For every ideologue chiding the casting decisions and themes of movies, there's 10 who just plain don't care because they won't see it anyway. There's less and less "must-see movies" that leave long-lasting cultural footprints that aren't just more capeshit, and the days of that being a party of everyday American life are going away.

I went to the movies maybe 8 or 9 times last year. I am a poor college fag so I only went on Tuesday when tickets were 5.50. With movie pass being $10 a month I plan on going way more often now that I dont have to plan my schedule around the cheap day of the week. Gonna see a lot more Kino

movies used to run for months and months in the 30's and 40's but streaming on demand has kind of killed the urge for most people to see a movie ASAP. I know lots of friends who just wait 6 weeks for it to pop up on netflix

This has been a smart use of the social media. They are doing it right to give it a heavty Twitter/Facebook prescence.

Seriously, Guardians 2 went up on VOD the other day and I was confused as hell because it felt like it just came out in theaters the other week. They're rushing these things out to home media so millennials will watch them before they become yesterday's news.

It'll flop because it's Rated R.
If they gave it a PG-13 rating, it would do amazing numbers, but because it's R, you're going to have teens buying a ticket for another movie and sneaking in.
Screwed themselves from a huge profit.

More like people just have too much shit to watch now and it's too easily accessible.

Why go out and waste money on movie tickets when you have hundreds of hours of shit on Netflix and Amazon you haven't watched yet, and then by the time you get through some of that, the movies that are out now will just be available for you to watch on demand in a few months anyway?

The movie theater is an antiquated concept and internet connectivity will eventually kill it.

The (((movie industry))) will be going even if it becomes completely commercially unfeasible, all this shit about the hand of the market that decides something is bullshit made up for the flock, everything is decided by those who print money, they control the market. The consumer only gets to decide whether they'll buy a white iShit or a pink one.

You need to understand: money is only valuable to those who work for it; when you create them, you just snap your finger and they appear on your computer screen. These might be the precious goal for you, but mere numbers on the screen for (((them))), used only to herd you in the right direction.

No, Hollywood is just fine actually, thanks to China and their horrible taste. It's just US theaters that are suffering.

Hollywood no longer need us, the domestic audience, to make their money. We'll stop supporting their trash, but they'll keep making it, and Asians will keep eating it up.

Tick tock Hollywood, your time has almost elapsed. Your stagnant ideas and rampant propaganda has crushed you and the death of western entertainment is upon you. Eastern cinema rises and will take your money and your viewers and grind you into dust and the conniving sheep will flock like rats on a sinking ship as they drown, sunk by the rising glory of eastern cinema. Too late, you'll change your ways, when the little spreadsheets that show the dollars that govern your lives read zero will you desperately try to gain back what they have lost through their own ineptitude. But it will be too late. No one will answer their call. But no one will be left watching to see.
The sun is rising in the east.

>Does an R really kill cash.

Yes, relatively speaking anyway. You may have a successful film, but you're never going to have a $800 million+ blockbuster that breaks all sorts of records with an R rating, it simply will not happen.

There are a handful of exceptions. Deadpool is the highest grossing R rated film in history, and it only made $783 million worldwide.

Compare that to movies that have made well over $1 billion that are all rated PG.

The movie industry deserves to burn.

This is really going to anger some people but liberal politics and liberal propaganda is what killed the movie industry.

When you run a business you want to sell to everyone, not just half the country. The truth of the matter is that even people who consider themselves "liberal" don't always embrace the entire spectrum of liberal beliefs. Some of them harbor conservative feelings about certain subjects. Many times conservative feelings about subjects like homosexuality, the sexualization of children, etc, are an extension of ingrained, genetically based feelings put there by nature as a failsafe to protect the human species.

Hollywood fails to realize this and their rewards has been losing billions of dollars for the past several years.

Left wing propaganda simply doesn't work. It alienates more people than it attracts.
>>
>>86906639
Those movies still won't be enough to help stop the decline. Star Wars TFA made over 2 billion in 2015 and yet the year was still a disaster for the industry.

2016 was the worst year in over a decade for the film industry, now 2017 is on track to be even worse, even with projected grosses for films like the ones you mentioned.

It will be a flop just like Dark Tower. Star Wars has no interest and will flop too. Justice League will do ok numbers though.

The last movie I saw in theaters was John Wick 2. It was well worth it, but outside of 2 action choreographers who decided to make "the kind of action movie we would like to watch", what the fuck else is there? i mean, maaaaybe Suburbicon looks like it might be interesting, but the trailer is garbage, and it's directed and co-written by George Clooney, which gives me pause, since he's practically king lib in hollywood these days.

Army of One seems like Nic Cage kino,

but there's really nothing that really actually stands out as something fantastic.
