whatever happened to the swarm of trolls that were on these forums when Power Rangers and Ghost in the Shell opened?

 

Trolls show up here all the time to hate on one film and then disappear when it’s over.

So, we saw Smallfoot...and it's totally worth seeing.  My whole family liked it, with me giving the lowest grade of B and my 2 youngest giving the highest grades (A-...although the reasons are always fascinating from them).

 

Yes, it's a little on the nose, but it's got a wonderfully even-handed exploration of issues you just don't see in kid movies...and an exploration that works for kids and adults equally.  My spouse, who gave this a B+, said he thought the 1st 30 minutes were "oh geez, I'm gonna sit through ANOTHER typical kid movie" and then it got REALLY interesting and somewhat thought-provoking AND (let me say again) even-handed.  The messages didn't have a "must pick right answer."  So, that was wonderfully refreshing...

 

Everyone felt like it was worth the cost of matinee admission...and my mood after this week (which was not great for many reasons) has just been uplifted by a pleasant movie:).  I guess that's what movies are for.

 

Hopefully, this finds the audience it needs for corporate to keep doing these types of original, fresh movies...

Maybe I'll make this my movie on Tuesday when I'm not working. Either way, I'll be sure to check it out sometime soon.

ngl that's a pretty disappointing drop for House. closer to 70 is looking more likely than 80 at this point

 

Wish Night School had been at least a million higher as well. Hell Fest woulda been interesting if it coulda reached 3M as well

It’s the doldrums of the fall my friend. Next weekend should lighten things up.

The nun is probably top 5 most profitable films of 2018.

Depending of your definition of profitable maybe (Absolute, ROI or a mix of those 2, does the profit going to the talent and not the studio count in the being profitable part I would say yes personally, etc...), but it has some good competition:

 

Went just so ridiculously big:

Infinity war

Black Panther

Jurassic World 2

Incredibles 2 (those can sell well and for a long time on home ent)

 

And more in the relative to their budget category, those has stronger dbo result:

Hotel Transylvania 3 (508m on a 80m budget, with a 166m dbo )

Deadpool 2 (734m on a 110m budget)

A quiet place (188m dbo / 332m WW on a 17m budget)

I read somewhere that some 1970's pornographic film is one of the most profitable movies of all time. Dunno how that can happen, isn't it something like Paranormal Activity or Blair Witch Project or Greek Wedding that most profitable relative to budget?

There were a couple of porno that made the top 10 of the annual box office in the 70s, really different era in that regard, so I guess it could be possible.

 

I doubt there is anything close to an official response or even just serious response to this, considering we have almost no profit data to make a profit/budget stats and relative to the budget is a bit of a misleading/useless stats when budget is a really small part of a movie expense like in those example. Trying to come up with how much profit the first Star Wars ultimately did in the last 40 year's is quite the hard question to answer but it must be quite a lot.

 

Blair Witch had that reputation, but it's budget figure thrown around were just a marketing device and were referring to the cost spend to make the print that was sold in Sundance (those less than 30k figure), not the movie audience saw in theater after the distributor that bought the movie ordered some reshoot, made professional sound mix/editing, professional editing work, etc.... According to the director in more recent interview, he actual movie budget was much higher than the small one and using the actual over 500-750k budget I am not sure if it still has that title but it is certainly in the conversation.
