Quote:You are very stupid about that. The Pirates made a copy available the same day as the movie was released, except with advertisements for online gambling included. For a pittance, an unknown theater projectionist cooperates with the gambling casino. This happens with every significant movie nowadays. You have to wait 4 weeks to get a copy without the casino ads.

The Marvels hasn't even broken $200 Million worldwide yet, grossing only $198 Million near the end of its run, or 72% of its production budget.
Your illegal copy had nothing at all to do with The Marvel's failure. Nada. Zilch. Zero.
Quote:From looking at the actual movie, S of F cost around the same as 3 episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, with the movie producers stealing $12.5 million of the budget for themselves. Producers can do that and nobody will even know.

Hell... I doubt very much either of them gross as much as Sound of Freedom did, and that movie only cost $14.5 Million to make.

Keep making up whatever bullshit you'd like dude.
The truth is that Disney has lost nearly $2 Billion at the box office in 2023.
Meanwhile, Five Nights at Freddy's is a Universal picture. Universal has made over $1.5 Billion during 2023.
And Angel Studios on Sound of Freedom alone has made over $200 Million.
People are going to see movies, whether they're pirated or not. Whether they're free legally or not.
They're just not watching your woke shit at Disney. The grift is over, and they will all be fired.

That's my prediction. Unless you own Disney/NBC/Universal/Comcast/AMC Theater stock, why would you care? Sell that stock.

Do you think Disney's failures prove Trump will be the next President rather than the next obese President who chokes to death on his own fat?

There were 4 times as many tickets sold in 2023 than there were in 2020. There has been a 4 year increase in ticket sales. The combined 2023 Box Office total in the US alone was over $9 Billion. It's going to be a long, long, long time before movie theaters die.
And the studios had better hope so. Nobody has ever found a way to make streaming profitable.

I don't love and covet money like you do. I also don't gamble in the stock market. The only reason I track stock prices is to laugh when companies don't learn their lessons.

In a healthy person's brain, not everything is about Donald Trump.
In an America that wasn't diseased by Leftist Ideology, Trump never would have won in 2016 and he wasn't going to win next year.
The reason I care is because watching the successes and failures of the movie industry is a great barometer of what way the winds in the culture war are blowing. Most of the folk who go see movies are normies. Your agenda is dead when the normies woke up and collectively rejected it, as they did in 2023.
This is a thread about the movie The Marvels.
If you have nothing to say about the movie The Marvels, you can bring your political gaslighting right back to the RWED where it belongs.

It still is, but it has gotten vaster (that's a word) and wastier (not a word). I noticed who watched a lot of TV, too, back in the '60s. Assholes were who. Their children and grandchildren became today's Trumptards. It is not at all surprising, when you think about it, that worthless people waste their lives on crappy crime shows like Joker and Sound of Freedom and vote for criminals like Trump.

Die Hard, which was released 12,930 days ago today came just shy of beating The Marvels on Friday by $5,000.

I wonder if the Pirates ever leaked an illegal copy of Die Hard online.

Son, I just review the data, I rarely watch any of this shit.
I can count on both hands the amount of TV shows I've watched in the last 8 years. I'd probably have to use both my feet to count the amount of movies I've watched in the last 8 years, but keeping it to 4 movies or less per year is a number I can easily live with.
And... big surprise... Despite posting about it's performance 100 times, I've still never even seen Sound of Freedom.

Five Nights at Freddy's was made for 13.75% of The Marvel's budget and was available to stream for free, legally, from day one with a $5.99 per month Peacock membership, which means it was also available to stream for free illegally from day one as well.
It's at $293 Million right now, or 1,465% of its production budget.
Correction.
Five Nights at Freddy's budget was not 13.75% of The Marvels.
Five Nights at Freddy's budget was 7.27% of The Marvels.

Normally, this is where I'd mention that usually projections, especially on opening weekend, are lower than reality because the studio doesn't want to embarrass themselves, but I'm not sure about what Disney's psychology on this one is going to be right now.
Risk lowballing the numbers on opening night as per usual and make all the Saturday headlines even worse than they were going to be, or risk highballing the Friday prediction and possibly project low for Sunday to still come in lower than the actual numbers that are posted on Monday?
My money is that Disney's projected numbers for Friday are actually higher than reality just because the headlines that are going to come out today are embarrassing enough already. They might throw out convention entirely here and highball the whole damn weekend just to try to salvage some of the headlines with their shill outfits like Variety and Deadline and hope that not too many people are listening to the people like me who would catch them in the act come Monday if they try that.
Am I awesome or am I awesome?
The Marvels ACTUAL weekend gross Domestic: $46,110,859
In the entire time that I've been tracking movies, I've NEVER seen a studio highball their weekend prediction. Not once. Until now. And I called it.
In fact, I've said on at least half a dozen occasions when posting about a new movie that just came out that it will probably have $1 or $2 Million more when the actual numbers come in (It's all in my post history).
I'm in Bob Iger's head now.
The ragebaiters on YouTube all seemed to have missed this, but I didn't Bob. I'm calling you out.

I think 'Bob' won't be CEO for much longer.
