GitS is still way better quality compared to your average Hollywood movie. 

 

LOL, WTF? GitS is exactly the average, forgettable Hollywood crap that they produce a ton a year. Boring main character, boring main star, some neat visuals. Rinse repeat.

Well, that is your opinion. I'd take GitS over any F&F, or much of Disney's juvenile rubbish. 

 

I think that Paramount overestimated the general audience awareness behind the original anime. The truth is that only hardcore film buffs are aware of such things.

It's almost as if different movies are aimed at different audiences.

You must be the only one cause it BOMBED!

BatB has no summer weekdays to help it, thank god. That's the only thing holding it down.

Now to pray for 50% drops every weekend from now on.

Obviously what you are saying is absolutely true, but isn't it clear that at the moment we have too many kiddie flicks, too many dumb actioners and too few serious/original sci-fi thrillers? Quality movies (and not just original sci-fi) have been suffering for years. The Hurt Locker didn't make any money, There Will Be Blood made very little, Hell or High Water made very little, Sicario just a few bucks, even Edge of Tomorrow (with Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt and spectacular action) made very little for its scope and genre. While generic, rehashed offerings such as Dory, F7 and BatB and Jurassic World made billions...

[FantasticBeasts]

Batb is going to make 1.2b WW.

I would doubt that, Paramount had access (if they did not even paid for their own) to Dreamwork marketing study made by a serious firm about the unaided and aided awareness of the franchise in at least the top 12 world market.

 

Awareness is usually easy enough to asses, but take someone like me, I was fully aware it exist, that it was a Japanese franchise with at least one movie, how much awareness transfer in movie tickets sold is harder to asses.

 

That said, that movie look like it will do over 200 million, with a mediocre reception, that is almost an undeniable proof of the movie good commercial potential, a good one would have almost without a doubt made a good return. Studio do not have access too enough movie project that can work even if the movie do not deliver to make only those.

 

Ghost in a Shell was still more well known than The Martian, All you need is kill, etc... they often do adaptation of stuff because they like the high concept or that the name has some awareness even if people are not familial with the material (that why movie like Tetris or Jack Daniel being developed), here marketing failed because the high concept is really hard to sell.

Okay. Club made:
