I enjoy videos like that. I'm always up to hear someone elses opinion even if it differs from my own. They do undercut a lot of heavy moments for sure. I doesn't kill the movies for me since there are still scenes that deliver the emotional aspect. The dusting scene, the Iron Man funeral, Civil War in general, come to mind. I feel like they are weaker in the solo movies. Eg. Captain Marvel, while I enjoyed it, was a mess in that regard. There's not a lot of emotion from Carol when she realizes hat her entire life has been a lie and that she's been killing innocents. I'd like to think that something like that would carry more weight.

I love the MCU but they need to stop undercutting serious moments with jokes. I cringed through out the entire Thor arch in End Game. His pain was real and instead of treating it as such it was used as a punchline. I'm surprised they didn't crack a joke during Iron Mans funeral lol.

It's about context. One is about strippers stealing money from asshole wall street scum. The other is drawing parallels to mentally ill, incel, school shooter white men. One of these is a bigger problem in today's society. Anyway I haven't seen either movie so I don't know what they are about. I need to form my own opinion. If the Joker is indeed promoting degenerate behaviour then I see why some might have the problem with it. However if it's framing it as something bad and something that shouldn't be done then thats a different story.

Yes. Please find me the one that says that robbing men is female empowerment. Yeah, man. Who needs Peter parker getting dusted when you can have Black Widow calling herself an infertile monster. Eh? Emotional overload.

- anyways both JLO and Beyonce look great. Can you say that about yourself.

110 million is still a blockbuster sized promotion. Far to much for something like ASIB. It managing to crawl past Venom in the US with a similar promotional campaign isn't impressive. I'd also argue that it received more promotion domestically than Venom - but I cant prove that. PA's Deadpool 2 - 135 million Doctor Strange - 139 million Moana - 135 million Aquaman - 148 million Fantastic Beasts - 145 million The Jungle Book - 158 million wonder woman, gotg 2, jumanji 2, thor ragnarok all had around 150 million PA's. The fact that ASIB is even close to some of these movies shows what a massive push the movie had - not to mention all the re-expansions and the re-release.

he's gonna ruin X-men ugh. It's gonna look like Agents of the sheit.

I'm done. I said all there was to say. Gonna enjoy the rest of the night watching the 6th most profitable movie of 2018.

You misread what they said. Next time just look at the breakdowns - its easier. I literally said IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY. I was basing it off my memory. But I do recall that their PA were very close to each other. It's surprising considering that eg. LaLa Land, a best picture winner, had a very low PA. Most Oscar bait movies aren't promoted as heavily as blockbusters.

ugh the USA shoulda have given it at least 100 more million.

No one is saying that Hustlers is female empowerment lol. It's a dramafilm based on a real story. No one actually thinks what they are doing is RIGHT.

@titanic2187 You included the production budget for Venom LOL Venom cost less in combined production and worldwide P&A costs ($227M) Like I said Venom Ww Promotion - 127 million ASIB ww promotion - 110 million yikes promoted the same amount as a blockbuster and couldn't even crack the top 10.

You literally have the breakdown here. Can't believe I have to point that out for you. https://issuu.com/deadline2/docs/no._6_venom_rt Venom ww prints and ads - 127 million.

Like I said. ASIB was re-released + re-expanded plenty of times and it barely crawled a head of the rotten and panned Venom. It also had around the same promotional budget as Venom and many other blockbusters. It's not some little indie awards bait film. It was pushed harder than most movies lol. ASIB is also a very known movie in general. We all know how popular remakes are these days.

No one said it didn't make a profit. It was a cute 2nd runner up to Bohemian Rhapsody.

Doesn't matter. It's still the most irrelevant category. Big whoop a musical won the music category Oscar. Who would have seen that one coming. Awards wise it was a failure. It went from being the frontrunner in every major category to losing everything. I would have understood the need for a re-release had it actually won something significant.

Oh btw that 227 PA is for homecoming . Read better next time.

Worldwide prints and ads ASIB . 110 million Worldwide prints and ads Venom - 127 million You inflated venom by 100 million dear. Kinda tragic that a little awards-bait movie was pushed the same amount as a blockbuster. https://deadline.com/2019/03/a-star-is-born-box-office-profit-2018-1202580798/ https://deadline.com/2019/03/venom-box-office-profit-2018-1202583895/

It was re-released after it lost all the Oscars lol (minus the irrelevant category BOS).

Oh yeah I forgot that it kept being re-expanded so many times LOL. If I remember correctly the promotional budget was on the level of most blockbusters (120 million dollars), which was way more than Venom.

Yes, and it ended up beating Avatar (a movie that had multiple re-releases as well). It was a fair fight. ASIB vs Venom wasn't. Since one of them didn't have a re-release.

https://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/joss-whedon-rumored-eyed-direct-mcus-xmen-reboot/ Can they keep this talentless hack away from the MCU?

Lol ASIB had a massive push with a re-release. Venom didn't. Venom won overall and made more money for the studio.

Sources for this? I never saw a figure specified.
