This is a trip lmao

I mean Crazy Rich Asians, which was based on a popular book series, barely got a theatrical release OS as well. Sometimes this stuff happens. Either way, Disney's distribution and marketing, even if it could have been stronger, was still the best thing that could have happened to it financially.

I mean judging by recent interviews, Disney seemed very invested in Barbarian and its success and wanted to push the film as a "mystery", with a bigger emphasis towards WOM than big trailers that spoil everything. If this was under Neon or A24, like Cregger tried to do, I doubt this film would get to even a quarter of what it's currently making. https://www.vulture.com/2022/10/no-one-in-hollywood-wanted-to-make-barbarian.html

I can't believe Tom Cruise lost all his money. Sad he's broke :(

He was the man who created this masterpiece. We're in good hands

Like Bros, the world wasn't ready for a gay crocodile.

I guess Smile really is a rip-off of The Ring after all!

I will also mention with both now having over 100+ verified reviews, Lyle is now at 93%. Which...yeah, sounds about right. Amsterdam's at 62%, yikes burger central

And yeah, Tar feels like a 15-20M grosser if it gets a Best Picture nom. The passion from critics groups is there, so hopefully it translates to those Academy normies?

AMSTERDAM (2022)

Well how exactly do you make it cheaper? All those actors cost a pretty penny, and recreating the 1930s through your production design and costumes will cost a fair amount. The only way you could make a film like this cheaper is if you didn't make the movie. Which like...yeah, that probably was the solution.

Feel like this club should have existed earlier, but this seems like a fun race. Any takers?

I've gotten the Amsterdam trailer a few times in front of the movies and they've been airing ads nonstop on Hulu, and I still have no clue what the plot of the movie is. Is it about a cover-up of a murder? I guess that's it? Just not sure why I should be invested in the story and the actors.

No. Presales almost always go through the same pattern of "massive first couple days, then a major lull, then a big pickup the week of or just before release". A big red carpet premiere or the review embargo also help, but more TV spots doesn't change anything. And for the record, that's not a bad thing. That's just what happens with every movie, whether it's Endgame or Ishtar 2.
