Post another pirate link on Haken's site. Douchebag.
Meanwhile, in reality...
Universal still makes content that people pay to see despite the high prices and has made $1.5 Billion profit in 2023.
Disney has lost $1.8 Billion in 2023 because they don't make movies that people are willing to pay for anymore.

And you can't stop downloading their shit illegally and watching it.
You don't even know what you argue for because you don't have any values or purpose.
You're so great dude. Wow. So impressive.

Quote:6ix, I am surrounded by people exactly like you, other than they don't post on fireflyfans.net, and long ago I stopped speculating why their lives were so difficult when life is easy and graceful in America compared to most countries. The mental stumble that gets so many Americans into troubled lives is that they think they are wise/knowledgeable people but aren't, which is why they struggle. 6ix, you are a prime example. Your life is so peculiar, and you customized it for your tastes, but you can't understand the connection between what you made for yourself and what happens to you. Change your tastes, 6ix, and your life will change for the better.

According to IFPI’s Engaging with Music 2023 report released this week, online piracy remains a problem worldwide, stream-ripping and illegal music apps in particular.

Sorry Joaquin. Your Napoleon movie cost $200 Million to make and is going in the Highbrow Heap of failures right on top of Killers of the Flower Moon. These budgets are stupid, and I'm quite certain that the failure of this movie is not going to be any fault of your own.
$28-$32 Million Domestic for a 5-day weekend is already a death sentence for Napoleon unless everybody else in the world goes out to see it like crazy.
Killers of the Flower Moon which also cost $200M to make only made $23.25 Million on Opening Weekend and after 5 weeks has still failed to make back even 75% of the Production Budget Worldwide.
Napoleon may do better, given the kick start of the 5-Day Holiday Weekend, but probably not by much if it does. The audience and critics ratings are both in the middling 60's here, which doesn't bode well.
It did do better, but not much...
$188,425,000 worldwide as of 12/17.
Killers appears to be stuck at $156.1 Million worldwide, so that's probably a done deal. It may or may not end up hitting $160 Million if Bruce finds some international money and/or fluctuations happen, but I doubt that very much.
I don't care what anybody at these studios say about how these movies were made for the awards. They both lost a TON of money and didn't even make their production budgets back, let alone the marketing costs and half of the money they did make going to the theater chains.
Even though Napoleon probably hits $200 Million and makes its production budget back before it's out of theaters, it's still a massive loser.
The $200+ Million production budgets need to stop. Today.
Songbirds & Snakes even managed to make a healthy profit in the end against all odds, but if it had cost $200 Million to make instead of only $100 Million, it would have ended up just another in a long list of 2023 Lionsgate failures.

$218,082,631 total.
So a loss of $281,917,369 for Sony Pictures.
FAR MORE than the $108,748,650 that Madame Web is currently losing for Sony, and Madame Web is still making money.
STOP THE MADNESS OF THESE BUDGETS!!!!

Thinkin' 'bout the girl in all-leopard
Who was rubbin' the wood like Kiki Shepard
Two tattoos, one read "No Apologies"

Good luck!
