  1. I mistakenly implied from the pedo or not directly followed by artist that were sexting minor got biopics movies to doing so (if you were not than I really to not get the point of that sentence), it is so common in the common language to equal Hebephilia or even ephebophilia to pedophilia, that it is easy to assume, sorry.
  2. I have a strong feeling than no, but in legal terms it is not pedophilia either, pedophilia is a DSM/legal defined has sexual attraction toward prepuber children and most legal system will not have the same sentence for a 20 year's old having sex with a 11 year's old than a 15. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_sexual_abuse_laws_in_the_United_States#Minors'_inability_to_consent A person engaging in sexual activity with a minor below these proscribed ages (16–18), regardless of that minor's seeming "consent" or compliance, commits an offense (terminology varies). In most states, much more severe offenses and/or sentences exist for cases with young children, approximately under 12–13. There is a gray continuum of paraphilia and an adult having sex with a 16-17 year's old (or 18-20 in some state that majority hit at 21) isn't the same than with a children.
  3. Often he said they said and if multiple people that do not know each other come up with very similar story it can be used in a court of law in many country including the US. Sex with a minors (legal definition of minors would change jurisdiction by jurisdiction and over time) does not equal pedophilia. Pedophilia is termed pedophilic disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), and the manual defines it as a paraphilia involving intense and recurrent sexual urges towards and fantasies about prepubescent children that have either been acted upon or which cause the person with the attraction distress or interpersonal difficulty.[4] The International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) defines it as a "sustained, focused, and intense pattern of sexual arousal—as manifested by persistent sexual thoughts, fantasies, urges, or behaviours—involving pre-pubertal children Pedophile are attracted to pre-puberty children (Although girls typically begin the process of puberty at age 10 or 11, and boys at age 11 or 12,[3] criteria for pedophilia extend the cut-off point for prepubescence to age 13), that a different condition than someone sexing a post-puberty minor.
  4. I doubt no Hunger Games went number one after 2013.... Or did Paramount loose is big production title to Liongates ? A quick check and Tyler Perry boo 2 / Jigsaw during October 2017 seem to have been the last time. Hitman bodyguard before that
  5. I would agree with the much on the table, right now Disney has a giant aura everything with their logo remotely on it is 100% safe to see for everyone 7 to 77 without never anything at all ever happening. That is a strong brand and good value to them, I would do anything R rated released with an other brand (those older R rated marvel studio movie brand. That said almost no one that could not have bought a ticket alone for a r rated movie went to Dr Strange opening weekend, apparently: The audience for Doctor Strange was 58 percent male vs 42 percent female. The film's audience was only 8 percent teen and 33 percent under age 25, according to boxofficepro.com. Of that 8% you have a lot of 17, 18, 19 year's old that do not count, so for individual SH title R or not could become quite irrelevant over time has audience in western country age and age older, fans of the 2012 Avengers on release are pretty much all well above 16 by 2019 and so on, but for a brand aspect and continue to have family audience not asking any question for the next Spider Man/Avengers or others one that have an family audience to them, keeping it clean is probably wiser.
  6. There PureFLIX I think (Christian production that stream direct to consumer). Urban Movie Channel Epix, Starz started to do a little bit of them. To a very small degree, Playstation VUE (Sony) and Xbox Live (microsoft) Xbox live for example: Xbox Live original programming Blake's 7 (starting TBA) Every Street United (starting TBA) Halo: The Television Series (starting 2017) Humans (starting TBA) The LeBrons (2012–present) Life's Little Miracles (starting TBA) Miss United Continent (2013–present) The Music Box (2013–present) Sony: https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/playstation-vue-is-reportedly-working-on-original-programming/ Yahoo! screen ? If that still going on, acould be closed by now. All for originaly cable stuff with streaming options a la HBO: FX+, Showtime, AMC premiere There is a list here: https://flixed.io/complete-list-streaming-services/ Warner will launch a DC Universe stream I think also
  7. A bit like for computer animated movie, would not be surprising if the giant studio end up winning that game at the end, if say by 2021 about all studio content get out of Netflix, will their homemade library able to compete ? The difference with what it would be and what VOD already was risk to be quite small, same expense but we prefer an all included monthly pay and easier to access from more platform.
  8. 188m profit for the studio on Spider Man 3 was one of their biggest ever, the biggest for release between 2006 and 2014 I think. Da Vinci code 178m being the second biggest of that period. No small movie came that close to those, but the 170m at the box office Superbad made 88m, The Karate Kid 97m, Grown Ups made 71m. Has for the reaction, I do not think e-mails go back that far from the leak, I do not remember seeing talk about SM3 performance, but they were talk to make a 4 with the same group and 1.12 billion in revenues was quite something, I imagine they were please financial performance wise.
  9. If it get 45 because everyone rate it between 30 and 60 that not really mixed. Ideally you need some close to 0, close to 100, standard deviation number being maybe the best measure of mixed than the average.
  10. By making what I think was (and could still be) an all time high for Sony movie 1,122m in revenues, a bit above the 1,088m for Spider Man 2 unadjusted for inflation between the 2 release date, SM 2 being much more profitable because of a bit more reasonable total cost. Principal source of revenues were domestic theatrical rental: 196m Intl theatrical rental: 244m Dvds: 338m TV: 170m Merchandising: 157.5m Biggest Expense Net production budget: 299.76m Marketing: 231.7m Prints&shipping&dvd manufacturing: 165.2m Participations bonus: 154.6m! Residuals: 35.3m Overhead: 42m (so that movie is paying for a lot of the studio existence cost thought)
  11. And that impact talk was implying that the movie is seen anyway. Listen to interview to people that worked on GoodFellas how fun it is to a movie that live on even if it failed at the box office.... it does sound legitimate.
  12. All others things being equal yes, but considering that a random porn movie can be easily seen by over 2-3, 20-30M people and video clip of popular artist by hundreds of millions on youtube same for any big TV ads campaign, there is much more going on motivation/ambition wise if you are not doing those (making ton of money and/or prestige for example being one common).
  13. I think BvS and Suicide Squad simply happened in a very strange online box office moment, even Suicide Squad was called some flop and some needed 800m to break even kind of talk non-sense. Wonder Woman did a little bit less than Suicide Squad in the markets both released and was correctly seen has the giant success it was. One big difference is that both those movie included in their plans and success bar the setup of sequels, and BvS failed at doing that. I would also point out, that I would be extremelly surprised if those 250/175m figure are +/-5% of the reality and that the production budget on big franchise made by big names producer is a small part of the cost/equation. Spider Man 3 total cost for Sony went close to the billion dollars ($934M), the 300M net budget being only 32% of their cost.
  14. For a $16M budget movie from STX it is without a doubt quite good yes, that the studio history: 1 Bad Moms STX $113,257,297 3,215 $23,817,340 3,215 7/29/16 2 A Bad Moms Christmas STX $72,110,659 3,615 $16,759,161 3,615 11/1/17 3 I Feel Pretty STX $48,795,601 3,440 $16,030,218 3,440 4/20/18 4 Den of Thieves STX $44,947,622 2,432 $15,206,108 2,432 1/19/18 5 The Gift (2015) STX $43,787,265 2,503 $11,854,273 2,503 8/7/15 6 Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets STX $41,189,488 3,553 $17,007,624 3,553 7/21/17 7 Second Act STX $36,343,871 2,607 $6,489,983 2,607 12/21/18 8 Mile 22 STX $36,108,758 3,520 $13,710,825 3,520 8/17/18 9 The Boy (2016) STX $35,819,556 2,671 $10,778,392 2,671 1/22/16 10 Peppermint STX $35,418,723 2,980 $13,423,255 2,980 9/7/18 11 The Foreigner STX $34,393,507 2,515 $13,113,024 2,515 10/13/17 12 Adrift STX $31,445,012 3,015 $11,603,039 3,015 6/1/18 13 Molly's Game STX $28,780,744 1,708 $2,349,967 271 12/25/17 14 The Bye Bye Man STX $22,395,806 2,220 $13,501,349 2,220 1/13/17 15 Free State of Jones STX $20,810,036 2,815 $7,572,206 2,815 6/24/16 16 The Happytime Murders STX $20,706,452 3,256 $9,532,425 3,256 8/24/18 17 The Circle (2017) STX $20,497,844 3,163 $9,034,148 3,163 4/28/17 18 The Secret in their Eyes (2015) STX $20,180,155 2,392 $6,652,996 2,392 11/20/15 19 The Upside STX $19,590,000 3,080 $19,590,000 3,080 1/11/19 20 The Edge of Seventeen STX $14,431,633 1,945 $4,754,215 1,945 11/18/16 21 Hardcore Henry STX $9,252,038 3,015 $5,107,604 3,015 4/8/16 22 The Space Between Us STX $7,885,294 2,812 $3,775,596 2,812 2/3/17 23 Gringo STX $4,969,853 2,404 $2,722,420 2,404 3/9/18 24 Their Finest STX $3,603,484 330 $76,197 4 4/7/17 25 Desierto STX $2,002,036 168 $514,282 73 10/14/16 Arguably their best performer domestic after The Gift and the Bad Mom franchise (Feel pretty & Den of Thieve had significantly bigger budget), until I imagine The Upside legs with that A cinemascore pass it, but still it give an idea looking at that list, among 25 release it will be in the Top 5, top 20% of the distributor history, top 4 if you remove sequel.
  15. Nice to see some competition to those DCvsMarvel threads in the craziness, monopoly are often not too good for customer.
  16. Flop show in the US system often do not end their first season, let alone getting many of them, arguably getting to 3 season automatically make you out of the flop show category regardless of everything (at least an high exec someone loved it and thought it would be a good library content in the very worst), with the small percentage that do it.
  17. Not that much, Titanic made more than the double of any recorded gross of any movie released before OS: https://web.archive.org/web/20010801161014/http://www.boxofficemojo.com:80/alltime/world/ 1 Titanic Fox/P. $1,835.4 $600.8 32.7% $1,234.6 67.3% 1997 2 The Phantom Menace Fox $923.1 $431.1 46.7% $492.0 53.3% 1999 3 Jurassic Park Uni. $920.1 $357.1 38.8% $563.0 61.2% 1993 4 Independence Day Fox $813.2 $306.2 37.7% $507.0 62.3% 1996 5 Star Wars Fox $798.0 $461.0 60.1% $337.0 39.9% 1977 6 The Lion King Dis. $766.9 $312.9 40.8% $454.0 59.2% 1994 7 E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial Uni. $704.8 $399.8 56.7% $305.0 43.3% 1982 8 Forrest Gump Par. $679.7 $329.7 48.5% $350.0 51.5% 1994 9 The Sixth Sense Dis. $672.8 $293.5 43.6% $379.3 56.4% 1999 10 The Lost World: Jurassic Park Uni. $614.4 $229.1 37.3% $385.3 62.7% 1997 Beating the than all time record of 563m of Jurassic Park by 120%, but it is an Harry Potter/James Bond ? I imagine Singer had double digits of the profit going is way....... that would be quite the paycheck.
  18. I quite liked the original, this is surprisingly a very close remake, with the change making it more challenging to succeed. A big challenge is the decision on Cranston casting and characther in the movie. In the original you have an old money aristocrate from the old Europe, class difference and last name is bigger in a society like France and being old money, having been always rich made the encounter with the other world a bigger deal, than a new money-self made man in the US version. It also meant that Cranston characther loved everything in is rich life, he choose himself, it was not by birth, peer pressure, legacy, etc... having to change some of the motivation. The direction is more boring here, the conflict feeling very much manufactured because we needed them, very easy to reverse and the movie not really committing to them. Not terrible, but not specially good either, classic 5.5/10 affair.
  19. What do you mean by cost ? They have to recommit to more support marketing to keep them ?
  20. The Mules had a significantly better PTA last weekend despite the higher TC and not really worst drops, it must true that studio support must help a movie keeping theater while those small are really left to how well they are doing and what else theater can play more pure market, but that is not the clearest more telling example of that considering how much better the Mule is doing in sales.
  21. I would imagine that the type of movie for which the make money for who ? change a lot from players to players but, still at that price tag I disagree that with the: massive balls right there for investing in it, it had the chance to be able to do so, outside an electricity failure what are the chance this movie does not reach a nice target for it's budget Saturday of is opening weekend ? Even if it is the worst movie ever ? Worldwide releasing cost is probably 75-110m on something like this.
  22. Split was a giant success and didn't made 140M. Even if we pass how ridiculous that statement is considering the movie type of production, Shyamalan is not has domestic heavy than other small horror affair either. 145m DBO could mean 300M at the box office, not bad for a small movie.
  23. Well with 2 weeks (with change from the exteriors thrown at the writers in the middle of it) for the scrips is a movie made with a lot of care according to your own definition of the concept, than sure (but so is all big movies with that criteria)
