I'd laugh at that statement but then again Suicide Squad is an Oscar winning film

The people here in the theater with me are parents and young kids. No CJohns or @MrPinks or @SchumacherFTWs present. 

 

Maybe Gokira will yet show up. You'll know when he ethan hunts to it all over the auditorium.

GITS's RT score performance has been quite crazy.

 

In less than 2 days, it started at 62% then went up to 73% and dropped all the way down to 42%, lol. 

 

Boss Baby's RT score keeps rising.

Ghost in the Shell bombed. It seems to be heavily frontloaded.

Ok, my Survivor is truly fucked this weekend  (I think)

 

sorry Robots! @Ethan Hunt @YourMother @chasmmi @elcaballero @slambros

Not as bad as mine is. I went high on GitS and way low on Boss Baby.

That feel when professional critics like a Power Rangers movie more than a Ghost in the Shell movie. I'm not sure what that feel exactly is, but it's weird.

Opinions, man. 

 

I agree with you, but I would switch the movies.

Problem is, they get a smaller ammount of money from overseas markets. Unfortunately, domestic grosses are still very important. By the way, GITS is more expensive than PR.

 

One possible plus for GITS would be being popular in Japan/South korea those 2 market seem to be very similar to the domestic market for studio blockbuster in retention rate (close to 50%) I think and I suspect for home media, they spend a lot on marketing in those. At least that was the case for Sony (maybe it is doing better in Japan than other studios that I do not know), it can change a little bit for title/box office total, but that was was the expected average retention rate by market for Sony in 2014.

 

Ranked by retention rate: Studio share of the box office / raw box office:

Japan 47% South Korea 47% Germany 44% Spain 44% Belgium 43% Switzerland 42% Russia 42% Austria 42% Italy 41% Australia 41% Brazil 40% Netherlands 40% UK 40% France 39% Mexico 37% China 25%

 

By profit margin of the theatrical release alone, (Studio share of the box office - marketing - prints) / Raw box office, China is not a bad deal at all once considering the almost free releasing

Switzerland	29%
Netherlands	28%
Austria	27%
Belgium	26%
UK	23%
Australia	22%
Russia	22%
Germany	22%
China	21%
S. Korea	19%
France	19%
Japan	15%
Spain	13%
Mexico	13%
Brazil	13%
Italy	11%

 

 

Average for the biggest market:

Retention rate: 40% (the number used by deadline)

Profit margin: 20%

Spot on for GITS, off but no too much for Beast, way low for BB (if heading to $45M+), everything else seems fine.

[Gokira2012]

someone should get the producers of power rangers and gits together and say i like your story power rangers, I like your visuals ghost in the shell

Man didn't realize GITS is ScarJo's first rotten movie on RT since He's Just Not That Into You. Still looking forward to checking it out. Haven't been to the theaters since Kong and I feel like I'm the only person on Earth who had no interest in BATB.

Makes you wonder what a well crafted Dragon Ball Z action epic could do.

 

I'm pretty sure it make double what GitS does.

 

I can see +$35-40m OW if the studio will choose appropriate actors to play DBZ.

It's the case, too many reviews blasted it because of whitewashing, and many people don't see this as a drawback and think it's not a valid point.

 

People who don't care about that liked it

She's a supporting character in He's Just Not That Into You. If I only count the main characters that she has played, GitS is her first rotten movie on RT since the Nanny Diaries. And Nanny Diaries was released in 2007.

In Europe movies are not reviewed like that, that is why it had a good RT score before the American embargo lifted. Even Japanese people were very happy with the casting. But America has to America itself.
