It looks like one of those movies they don’t bother to remove after someone uploads it to YouTube. -
Where are the numbers? The evidence? The proof?
-
Show me the Global third-party non-Amazon streaming numbers for Saltburn. They don’t exist, Krissykins.
-
The Vow made $15.4 million on opening day and $41.2 million over its OW.
-
Lying about the financials of a movie is one thing. Lying about the viewership of a streaming movie is another. Netflix used to count watching 15 seconds of a movie as a view and then would promote those numbers, a seemingly perfectly fine thing to do. How does Amazon define a view? We don’t know.
-
If I could benefit from some unverifiable nonsense performance metrics then I’d be happy too. I imagine Challengers will be the most streamed movie in the history of online video according to Amazon in a couple of weeks.
-
Kung Fu Moon Killers was far more popular than Saltburn at the both BO and on streaming (and it was on Apple. The streaming service you forget you pay for) and it barely made a peep on the socials. Reminds me of how NCIS is televisions biggest show and nobody talks about it.
-
Yep. I’ve seen more promotion for Civil War and Challengers than I did for Ghostbusters and Godzilla
-
Saltburn never once appeared on the Nielsen streaming charts. The only source that said it was popular on Prime was Amazon.
-
I am dead serious. I really thought there was a big deal of excitement for Challengers and Civil War. I was very wrong.
-
See - these are the numbers I expected OW for both films.
-
The same thing happened with Civil War. There's a disparity between the amount of coverage these films receive in the media and the actual audience willing to pay to watch them. I thought Challengers would hit $30m OW. The Fall Guy will probably be the next movie to face this issue - but I think the Forums have prepared for that possibility better than we did for these last two films.
-
They’re both movies for adults the same way Frasier was a sitcom for “smart” people. I’m saying they should be sold like something that actually looks appealing rather than Letterboxd approved critic bait.
-
Michael Mann’s Heat is a top ten all time DVD seller for WB.
-
A thing I’ve seen with films like Challengers and Civil War are that they’re advertised like they’re these Oscar-bait, intellectual, avant-garde cinematic experiences. I feel like I have to put in effort just to sit through them, and I think people might find it off-putting or exhausting. I wonder how people would take to the movie if they advertised it like fun romantic drama. I think people would appreciate being shocked if the product is good.

I found out Dune boy and SpiderMan were two separate people only a couple months back…
-
people watch original tv shows and movies all the time… on television.
-
A guy at work said The Fall Guy looked like a Netflix Original Movie and that stuck with me. It doesn’t look bad - it just looks Netflix-y (maybe it’s Gosling. IDK).
-
Deadline Anthony going from unhinged rants about streaming killing cinemas to desperately spinning dead movies as successes has been incredible to watch. Shoutout to that Ghostbusters movie he called a ‘smash’ and then never mentioned again.
-
A box office forum arguing that box office doesn’t matter. We are in hell.
-
Every movie produced by these corporations are mainstream movies. The subject matter doesn’t matter. We used to have art-houses that played actual niche movies but then they retrofitted them into regular cinemas with small screens and nice seats.
-
This film cost $55m. The last one cost $20m. Both were distributed by the fifth largest company in America. The guy gets big budgets to make mainstream movies for mainstream audiences and the audience hasn’t bit.
-
Bloody hell these twitter people suck.
-
My wife saw Challengers and said the critic that called it “the sexiest movie of the year” might’ve just been really horny…
