Tom Cruise has made it his life’s work to save the theatrical movie. He has faced down the pandemic, thrown himself off a cliff, and materialized from on high to show us that the righteous path leads to the multiplex.
With “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning,” we have reached the apotheosis of Cruise’s Christ-like journey; nearly three hours of mythmaking and self-aggrandizement make abundantly clear that Ethan Hunt is no longer just a hypercompetent spy — he is literally Cinema Jesus.

Nothing you pirates do is going to hurt Paramount anywhere near as much as they did when they greenlit this thing.
A few years ago, after it was very apparent that Part 1 was going to be a MAJOR money loss for Paramount, I said several times "let's wait and see what the budget for Part II is. Maybe they front-loaded all these costs for tax purposes or something and we'll find out Part one cost a legal consideration of $1 or something, and I laughed at how crazy that would fuck up the movie stats and records from then on if they did something like that.
They spent another $400 Million on part 2. SMH...
New Prediction: This movie, the last of a beloved franchise which to my knowledge never went woke but was just put in the the hands of increasingly less competent DEI departments running Paramount into the ground, will be the final nail in the coffin for Paramount.
Paramount will be sold for scrap parts after their next quarterly earnings call.
They do not have the money to weather this loss at this time.
It's going to sound pretty weird in 2055 when 30 somethings who aren't even born yet make Youtube videos talking about the fall of various media companies during and after the death of the Democratic Party, and the Tom Cruse movie is going to be blamed for the end of Paramount like the video game E.T. is singularly blamed for the fall of Atari by many today even though that's not true either.

You won't ever see me shedding any tears when billionaires lose money.
On this one thing I think we can find common ground.

We can argue all we want about politics man, but we've been fucked six ways from Sunday by all of them our whole lives.
It's just a shame that nobody in our government ever bothered to step up and make sure that all that corporate gobbling up of everything else never took place. It really has ruined everything over time.
Maybe all of what we're seeing right now is the phoenix burning up and maybe we'll see some good things rise from the ashes.
Capitalism is great when there's undiscovered country and the people with the money needed the people with the muscle to get the jobs done. I'd imagine it was a lot better when there were less than 1 Billion people on the planet too.
But once you get to that point past where we're all consumers and we've become the product, it's not all that it was cracked up to be anymore.
Have you ever thought about the implications of the Covid timeline? Where within the "greatest country on the planet" we were able to wipe out more than 20% of the jobs by calling them non-essential with the snap of a finger and nothing actually broke that mattered when we did it outside of some empty shelves and a lack of toilet paper for a few weeks? I'm putting aside of how much all of that fucked up eveyrone in the head and I'm just talking about from a logistical standpoint.
After a few bad months and some real unease that felt worse than reality actually was in the beginning, that all sort of leveled out at one point. I mean, the only reason that there was never pure bedlam and people shooting each other for food was because we dumped trillions and trillions into the economy to keep it afloat... but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm just saying that once some initial hiccups were ironed out, people stopped panic buying and the scalpers stopped being able to sell toilet paper for $5 per roll on ebay, things just worked again even though tens of millions of people who were working 2 months ago were no longer doing anything other than consuming.
Considering how huge and immediate of a cultural shift all of that was, it all went rather smoothly when looking at it through 20/20 hindsight and you're not living through the non-stop daily barrage of news coverage always telling you that the sky is falling and life as you know it is about to end tomorrow.
There's already a lot more than 20% of adults in the country that don't work even when you don't count seniors. Then you can Thanos snap away 20%-25% more of those people's jobs and nobody who was still working really noticed it all that much. Maybe a certain product you wanted wasn't available, even by any other brand, but it's not as if anybody was close to actual food shortages and grocery stores didn't have any food. I remember not being able to buy milk for a few weeks until I found the one place who had the lockdown on the local milk that wasn't effected by larger level shipping problems th

Okay. I see you're not interested in an actual conversation.
That's not a mission.
That's just a future problem that nobody in the Democratic Party has ever offered any legitimate and cost-effective means of combating.
And it's one of the reasons that the Democratic Party is dead and they will never make a comeback. They can't lie about fixing the environment anymore either because nobody is buying it anymore when they say they will.
Everything your party relied on to win votes doesn't work anymore.
If you have something serious to propose, I'd suggest you write to your congressman and give them the ideas because your dead party can't come up with shit on their own.

Made it's production budget back from the US Box office alone on opening weekend.
Easily makes money, but we already knew that it was going to despite the high budget.
Although, it wasn't a Bloomhouse or A24 joint and this may have gotten some real heavy marketing compared to what they would have gotten. Still have to give this one the 2.5x treatment because it's WB.
$125 Million to break even.
Internationally it did just a little better so we're already at $105 Million worldwide. Easy peasy.
Still though. $50 Million is a big gamble on a horror flick in 2025. I'm glad it worked out for them this time, but it might not next time.
Anybody remember 2023's The Last Voyage of the Demeter? No?

$45 Million budget in 2023 adjusted for inflation at $47,376,700 today.
Grossed $13.6 Million in the US and bowed out with a worldwide total of $20.4 Million, with a little over $2 Million in DVD/BluRay sales since then.
Glad to see physical media making a small comeback, btw...
Demeter's budget was nearly $3 Million less than Final Destination Bloodlines', but it lost Universal somewhere in the area of $100 Million and ended up one of their rare flops in an otherwise stellar year.
Though the loss here was probably quite a bit less than that because I think Universal knew they had a big flop on their hands and didn't put any marketing budget into Demeter.
... Plus, when a movie makes that little, it ends up being the movie theaters themselves that end up eating a lot of that pain too. They'd be splitting that $20 Million roughly 50/50, so if Universal didn't dump any money into marketing, their actual losses on this were probably only around $30 Million. And with how much money Universal raked in during 2023 while just destroying everyone else that year, that $30 Million loss probably ended up becoming a wash somewhere with tax write-offs or whatever tricks their accountant teams use to maximize profits.

Wow... Bruce did something I've never seen him do before and actually cite inflation in a comparison when showing that it beat 2009's release after inflation was calculated in.

His assessment from there more or less mirrors my own, most of which I already stated above...
Quote:
Final Destination is highly unlikely to have a second weekend anything like Sinners did, but our model is predicting its final box office at a little over $150 million right now. With another $51 million from international territories this weekend, the film should end with something around $300 million in total worldwide, making it highly profitable, based on an estimated $50-million production budget (and maybe the same again to market).
