  1. Insane how vitriolic this is over a differing opinion. You’d think I said it was a guaranteed bomb thanks to it and not just, in MY opinion, not great. No one has to agree with me but the pages upon pages now mocking me instead of even really discussing my point is reminding me to just never post on here unless it’s “cool numbers”.
  2. You guys saying 'some' like it's not incredibly obvious who you mean. I think it's a bad move, we'll see in March.
  3. GvK was a straight to streaming COVID release which was also dealing with Legendary and WB not seeing eye to eye on sending it to streaming or not. It's not a sensible comparison and if GxK opens the exact same as GvK that wouldn't be a good result for it.
  4. Its marketing cycle was already crazy short, that's two less weeks of awareness.
  5. Solo had a 3 month marketing cycle that hurt it immensely. GxK is also going to end up with a 3 month marketing cycle (December to March is 3 months).
  6. People who've said it had bad test screenings have been backed up by other stuff. The movie's had several reshoots.
  7. There's no way I can see it succeed with such a short marketing cycle. Getting a lot of Solo vibes.
  8. WB's year was definitely mixed at best. Their horror stuff did really good and Barbie's the big thing saving it from being a disaster plus Wonka's ended up pretty nicely, but Flash was a 200-250 million dollar loss, Blue Beetle was a flop, Shazam 2 was a flop etc. Color Purple is now an underperformer for them too. That's ignoring their smaller films that didn't really amount to much either like House Party & Magic Mike's Last Dance.
  9. ...No that's not how it works. Theaters get more of the profits as it goes on. Studios get most of their profits from opening weekend. Theaters like leggy films because they get more profit from them. And 300 million wouldn't be 3x its production+marketing budget, it'd be 2x. Marketing being excluded from film budgets is Hollywood financing trickery, there's a reason why the rule of thumb is to triple the production budget because that's how you account for the subtracted marketing budget.
  10. I can believe WB whittled the marketing budget down to 100 million, even like 90. I can't see it any lower than that. Marketing costs are way more then just trailers or red carpet premieres. The break even point is definitely close to 600.
  11. If the marketing amount listed above which is what I was replying to, 100, is added the budget is 300 million. Yes it's not losing as much money as flops like Flash or The Marvels but I don't think barely surviving thanks to a lack of competition, holiday legs, and China (The country which Hollywood gets the least amount of money from) is what WB's going to be looking at when they're still in the red of 100+ million with it. I think we need to be able to separate a decent performance from profitability, otherwise Dial of Destiny'd be talked about way differently.
  12. EDIT: Nvm looked further and the initial result had the wrong information. How on earth is it 90-100 million? That's insane.
  13. Closer to 400 or closer to 500 by rounding at the end of its run, either way it wouldn't be anywhere close to what it needed to make.
  14. If marketing was only 100, the breaking even point is still 600 which the film's 200 million away from with those 400 end goals. We can just say it's a disappointment instead of a flop or bomb.
