That is sad it is quite the nice satire, would it had broke out in the US it would have got some market. People talk often about stars being irrelevant, but for movies like that specially for Intl sales it would have helped a lot, they can be almost needed. Has for being an American story/reference + black cast, not sure how true it is or more accurately how much it is about american centric story / regional reference than the cast being black. I Can only imagine made over 80 in the US and didn't even tracked it's intl box office on mojo, release in very few markets and did about 2m intl according to the-numbers.com and that looked very white, same for a Moneyball type movie even with Brad Pitt if it is about Baseball it will be domestic heavy. In the 2010 if we look at big successfull domestic movie (over 100m domestic), the 10 that played the most domestic heavy were: Straight Outta Compton Uni. $201.60 $161.20 79.90% $40.40 20.10% 2015 The Help BV $216.60 $169.70 78.30% $46.90 21.70% 2011 Hidden Figures Fox $236.00 $169.60 71.90% $66.30 28.10% 2016 The Heat Fox $229.90 $159.60 69.40% $70.30 30.60% 2013 Get Out Uni. $255.50 $176.00 68.90% $79.40 31.10% 2017 21 Jump Street Sony $201.60 $138.40 68.70% $63.10 31.30% 2012 True Grit Par. $252.30 $171.20 67.90% $81.00 32.10% 2010 Lincoln BV $275.30 $182.20 66.20% $93.10 33.80% 2012 Pitch Perfect 2 Uni. $287.50 $184.30 64.10% $103.20 35.90% 2015 American Sniper WB $547.40 $350.10 64.00% $197.30 36.00% 2014 Lot of them were really American story with reference that can be hard to have a punch in most market outside the US. If a intl buyer is using Get out for example has a comparable trying to make projection (69%/31%), he think that Sorry to bother you will do about 6m intl with in their mind no chance of breaking out because of the narrative style. Could be hard to agree on a price. 12 year's slave / Moonlight played very well intl, 12 year's had a lot of intl star powers and for both obviously a best picture win help a lot.

BOT, do sound a bit over the top about a movie that got a B+ cinemascore, 3.3x OW multiplier for a franchise sequel with those imdb rating. 10 147,982 9 174,685 8 186,763 7 110,952 6 48,077 5 21,860 4 11,177 3 7,479 2 5,494 1 11,319 8.6 metacritic user score 85% liked it rotten tomatoes user score. https://variety.com/2015/digital/news/mad-max-fury-road-storms-home-video-sales-charts-1201589467/ If by divises they mean some think it is great others just a good 8/10 movies.......... but this is far from a Nicolas Winding Refn, Kubricks when is movies just released or Malick

That very large and high for the budget window for the break even point among expert opinion is probably because of McQ and Cruise (and J.J. Abrams other big name producer) giant back end paycheck, it will probably paying a lot for them in the end. Deadline estimated Rogue Nation profit to be 110m on a 150m budget with a 140m theatrical release.

Boring was the biggest factor for sure (production design/cinematography notably) But MJ2 box office was just 6% lower than the first one.

Many are, but it was YA in particular. WWZ 2 if it is made, next Terminator it look like, that genre is still quite popular. And so constant, the 3 did almost exactly 25m in USD. That a bit nuts, biggest non Chinese/US market with only South Korea being close: 24,656,497 25,362,216 25,391,565

Not sure what is the link between that and the message you quoted ? Depend what you mean by being pro-Trump, if you defined it by having an higher positive sentiment expressed in the editorial/opinion section of their platform than for Hillary. Apparently Wall street Journal Chicago tribune Fox News Weekly standard Politicao Would have been some http://thedataface.com/2016/08/politics/trump-media-analysis Al;so because Trump coverage trumped everyone else by so much the amount of neutral or positive coverage he achieved to get from the media was higher than the one Hillary got. https://shorensteincenter.org/pre-primary-news-coverage-2016-trump-clinton-sanders/ https://shorensteincenter.org/news-coverage-2016-general-election/ Trump coverage was quite negative, but so was Clinton, except for Bush vs Gore the most negative in 50 year's at least (Bush was quite bashed and so was Gore)

Lot of old release got a nice bump the 20-22 weekend (greatest showman, Rampage, black panther) https://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/?view=main&yr=2018&wknd=29&sort=change&order=DESC&p=.htm Rampage (PTA and TC): Jul 13–15 37 $54,714 -84.8% 61 -59 $897 $99,133,659 14 Jul 20–22 30 $125,048 +129% 114 +53 $1,097 $99,278,002 15 Showman not in PTA but with such a wide theater gain maintained it very well: Jul 6–8 81 $1,836 -94.4% 10 -8 $184 $174,307,966 29 Jul 13–15 74 $2,226 +21.2% 8 -2 $278 $174,312,158 30 Jul 20–22 53 $15,197 +583% 95 +87 $160 $174,328,701 31 Last 2 week of july being the most popular time for vacation and it started the 20-22 weekend ? The week 27-29, that was MI openning of the same studio, could have been 50 drive making double feature with Mission Impossible like this one: http://www.leicesterdrivein.net/

Who the fuck would ever think such things. What is with that constant constructing a virtual person with weird ideas no one ever had expressed that you try to deconstruct like that. One could say that the United states also has is own Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon et Microsoft Has for the vision of the left being killing any sort of nationalism that sound like a very new spin, at least in Canada the Liberal party is drapped in Canada sign and country nationalism like crazy, they almost own the Canada trademark has an entity. The Partie Québécois is perceived has from the left and is nationalist, I would not be surprise if the Scott independance movement is more supported by left leaning political party than the right lining. Same for the kids/Unions anti-globalism manifestation that were everywhere in the 90s during the G-8 type of summit.

Hard to imagine a more harm free project that would invoke less strong reaction than a Winnie the Pooh - Christopher Robin family movie....

My detective intuition tell me that a company named Cherry Tree Lane productions limited using UK Disney address https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/09950815/filing-history Is the llc created to hold Marry Poppins expense / tax credit Still in progress but has of june 2017 they had spent almost 100m pound (98.515), about 130m USD and already got 19.5m pound in tax credit. Photography wrapped in July. Nutcrackers is : https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10029281/filing-history 66m pound, 82m USD in january 2017.

Took a quick look I was able to find the next Marry Poppins llc (that movie has an impressively big budget, really good sign) and Nutcracker (a big one) but not Christopher Robin.

Seem to have been a UK production, usually those number get out.

That an impressive blind spot to have, considering how much it played on TV (if you are American) Seeing it now in the context of being one of Trump favorite movie and him achieving to do what Kane failed to make it a bit interesting. But I would not say it particularly aged well imo, impressive for the low budget too.

Force Awaken was sold clearly has a part 1 of 3, this avengers part 1 of 2, I would imagine that those part X are not that big of an issue.

I doubt if people would stop to be face fucked with these issue that it would go back to that, because: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-film-diversity/diversity-on-screen-equals-bigger-box-office-bucks-study-finds-idUSKCN1GB2ST Maybe that study is not a good one (and simply compared the box office of the average movie with diversity vs none without correcting for budget, marketing, genre, etc...) but it does seem to have a strong incentive to make them. Like the president of Blumhouse said, lot of studio are not green lighted movies with diversity for some ethical/ideologue reason, but for financial reason.

Would be an interesting experiment to be able to watch movies from the point of view of people that saw Suicide Squad and thought that was a well made feature film. According to rotten tomatoes, more than 25% of people watching a lot of movies for a living thought that while watching it.

I imagine that it is so the movie will be one day on that type of list: https://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/fastest.htm?page=500&p=.htm When 700 will had become common enough for a fastest to 700m list to be made and other type of bragging rights. There is obviously more "meaningful" round number obsession A bit like scoring 50 goal in a season instead of just 49 in hockey being a big deal (because in the past the season was 50 games and the record was 50 goals for a long time, giving that number a special sentimental value that stayed around to today) Or the 100m-200m number that give a movie significant financial benefit all around the world. Caring about box office would usually mean caring about irrelevant stuff (like yearly ranking, round number, records, etc...) to make it fun.

We really need our :

Yeah in growth it must have (But South Korea/Japan/Scottland and other place that didn't follow their model have had impressive economic explosion also that include 19th century US/UK/etc..., my parents had Unicef box to get japan some money when they were young), but it is still far away in absolute.

Wait that nothing, I have yet to see 8½, Passion of Joan of Arc, City Lights and L'Atalante. People that have not seen the 70% on RT Mockingjay part 2 and somewhat talk about it for some reason, have nothing on me.

You should, It is a lot of fun !!

Even in term of the best economic model of the last 40 year's..... http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Cost-of-living/Local-purchasing-power In 2014 they were still out of the top 60 for their citizen buying power, between Bosnia and Lybia, while the US was at the top of the main country between Swiss and Qatar, Did their economic model did a better result in quality of life growth in the last 40 year's than Norway, Canada, Danemark, Swiss or Sweden ?

If we are talking about movies we never seen for some reason, I have yet to watch Rashōmon.

Maybe I should make a Terminator 2Judgement day 3D remaster China release over 100m club. Or a T2 to have some form of release in China one day club?
