what a pathetic win. soul crushing? Worldwide: $227,331,938

If Bo Rap doesnt win one (or both) of the box office awards something is very wrong.

actually, all of them except for the main one go bye.

I just read this article about Amazon lorries driving through towns they are banned from, and Amazon's response to outrage is asking locals to write down registration plates of the lorries and email them to their local political representative? LOL. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-47508347

well written character-driven animated films have a much harder time than lowest common denominator ones. That may be the nature of products that are sold to children. I am just thankful I get to watch them.

so you think if it had no headlines and no marketing and no awareness, Ghostbusters 2016 would have grossed more than 128M at the box office?

I don't think it should be surprising that there are (i presume) hundreds of old films with active social media accounts. If they have a presence / following, then making one small interaction keeps some level of awareness with fans. The film is still for sale, will still get streamed, will still be on TV. Studios have a vested interest in keeping interest in a film for long after release. They will have a bunch of staff in their social media team who don't need to be paid crazy amounts of money, and that department will keep things ticking over on lots of accounts, and the overall long term result is worth the cost of running the accounts. I have a friend who works as social media for a major streaming company and it amazes me how many people are in his department and just run twitter accounts. but the company has hundreds of accounts for all their products .

really feels like when a studio has a big hit at Christmas, they insist the follow up must be only released at christmas, so they gotta find a December that has no Avatar. also remember they have a spin off being released before this, so can keep interest in aquaman sequel while making us wait longer.

not sure I agree. the team films take a while longer to make. They will not have one out before 2022 and probably longer than that. Am also not convinced that the first Avengers film without the originals will do as well as the current Avengers ones have done (that is, assuming the original four do actually leave after Endgame which is anyones guess BUt I believe they will). Marvel will take a bit of a dip over the next few years while it gears up to its next big events and grows the new characters. At the same time, DC will have much more succeess than previously with new Batman plus joker, suicide squad movies etc.

Lionsgate will have lots of social media employees. Doesn't take up much time for one of them to keep this account going and make 1 post every few days.

from international thread.

bet you they don't even have the music in the film lmao. Guy Ritchie, what a madman.

I would not say 50% drop for kids film with 0 competition is a decent drop.

Just wait until the new Batman with Zac Efron comes out... with no avenger teamups in the mix, DC has an open goal in which to strike.

But they still like the previous MCU films enough to watch Infinity War. Its like a TV season finale that gets series high ratings. People who are somewhat familiar with the show and have dipped in and out, may watch the final episode and enjoy it, but they do that because they like the show in the first place. The original comment said that the people who don't like Marvel films enjoyed Infinity War more than they would other Marvel films. There is simply no way this is correct. Anyone who watched IW after having no investment in previous Marvel films, I dont believe they would enjoy it for the most part

they do have a lot of fans. You're aware of the other films in MCU, I hope? 😛

the exact opposite... Infinity War was the most fan-centric MCU film yet. If you're not a fan of the Marvel films it's extreeeeeeeeemely unlikely you'll like IW. It is made for the fans and for no one else.

why? It had a big drop last weekend and there was zero competition. that being said I've no idea why it didn't get given a similar date to other countries in January/early Feb. though its dropping from the last one in most markets too. also would be surprised if it missed 150M...

when I worked in a cinema, a gypsy once tried to fight me because I instructed him to stop disturbing other customers and stay quiet while the film was playing.

who is that meant to look like?

what trilogy? When in the fuck is a film going to be grossing over $2,000,000,000 and three times over

They were being interviewed on radio show I was listening to earlier and they both seemed quite talkative. I have not seen or heard any other interviews with them. It may be just the American media that wishes to portray this female empowerment so they don't have the male speak to give the impression the woman was solely responsible for directing the film and not given Ryan Fleck any credit.

nothing will beat 2016 though.
