Everyone running around trumpeting and laughing that Hollywood is failing at marketing social justice movies.
they come out with these bombs, and GD is like "Those movies fail at the box office - only a matter of time until Hollywood learns to make movies that mainstream America likes Ghostbusters, The Last Jedi, Terminator Dark Fate, The upcoming Jams Bond A Time to Die, etc. I think they are just selectively assassinating strong male franchises that they don't like. Many applaud these failures, but think about what will fill the void of these franchises leave? I think it is all going as planned. A Time to Die indeed! |

It’s hard to believe, given all the money out there waiting to be collected, that a right leaning Patriot type filmmaker isn’t putting out movies that appeal to non SJW types. I suppose Clint Eastwood is but otherwise I cant think of any. |

I suppose Clint Eastwood is but otherwise I cant think of any. How many right-wing actors? How many right-wing producers? How many right-wing "all those hundreds of people at the end of the credits"? The only real "right-wing" stuff I know of is the Kendrick brothers who spend their time making Christian movies instead of more mainstream "right-leaning" commercial films |

When those movies bomb they have a built-in scapegoat. Us. If we weren't so toxic the box office numbers would be better - not that the movie itself was a turd. They can lose money and still validate their worldview. Eventually, you run out of other people's money. |

How did 'Captain Marvel' do? IIRC, the chick that starred in it was a major league, douche bag, SJW, feminist cunt. Can't use it as a metric for what movie goers will do if they are presented with the choice on a movie that isnt a must see if for no other reason than you see the 15 preceding movies. Even then, I redbox'd it and I sti want my $1.75 and 3 hours of my life back. Such a shit movie. Cannot believe I suffered 2.85 hours of bullshit for a 15 min fight scene. |

Quoted:The market dictates success. If they make a void another entrepreneur will be along to fill it and make cash hand over fist. Hell the General Discussion could make a few a day with all the experts we have here.

Watch "Hollywoodism", free on Prime. It will tell you how they made you see your ideal America since movies were made. Your kids will be exposed to any agenda they choose to push. We have all been victims of this for a century. I don't think I bought/rented one last year. |

Not saying it was a great movie, but The Last Jedi grossed 1.33 billion....hardly a bomb. Look at the weekend-over-weekend drop in ticket sales once it opened. It could have made $2billion in theaters. Disney CEO Iger knows that and he is pissed. Star Wars is the original license to print money. And KK fucked it up. |

$1.33billion minus production and marketing costs of probably $500m+. Look at the weekend-over-weekend drop in ticket sales once it opened. It could have made $2billion in theaters.

And I won't argue that Disney didn't fuck up. Only that it wasn't a "bomb". The movie did make a profit, a fair amount ($417 million ) according to wikipedia.

They profited more than $40,000,000,000.00 dollars last year so they're right on the very cusp of failure. Quoted:

Yep. Can't make anymore movies if your shit goes bankrupt. If some studios choose to push their SJW/woke stuff at the cost of profits, they aren't going to last. Someone else will happily jump in to push the next over-the-top toxic masculinity Fast and the Furious franchise to make their billions. Profit or die. They can make their own choices, just as moviegoers make theirs. |

I agree it wasn't a bomb. My point was that Iger knows now that the $417m profit could have been a $1000m profit. Quoted:
