HOW DO I RECOGNIZE WHICH TRAILER HAS PAID VIEWS?

Here's a hint: Don't claim that trailers have paid views if you don't evidence.

That's it? Correct The Record gave me like $50 to spam it on all 10 of my social media profiles

I do think it'll do better than most here are thinking. I'm currently predicting $300M WW.

4.4M views on YT in a day.  May have been overshadowed by It, but that's still really good.  Positive reactions all around, too.

5 million views, but only 8k likes, lol.

In other words, about .17% of people liked it (judging by current likes).  The trailer for It has approximately .18% of likes, so I mean...

They were thinking of making an amazing sci-fi I believe. Hopefully they achieved it.

They were probably thinking...ok Luc, just keep churning those Eurocorp action movies out k?  You earned this.  See you at the write off.

 

God bless their souls.  Taking the L for the greater good.

Awesome.  They're spending a lot of cash and their heart and soul into creating a risky project.  I love it.

It should get a 30 to 40 million in tax credit thought, France changed their law a little bit to make it eligible to one, looking at the trailers it is not a particularly high price tag for a movie like that, probably because the cast expense was kept really on the cheap side.

It's not about the money, it's about the art. If the movie is good, then it's good.

[That One Girl]

The set pieces in this movie look gorgeous and the CGI looks breathtaking.  Money well spent.

I agree.  Not like I'm paying for this.  I can't wait for this, it's near inevitable box office failure is of no concern to me.  If somehow it succeeds...bonus.

Luc Besson is one of the founder, is the charmain and own 62% of EuropaCorp, if it loose money it is mostly is money, I think that a good reason why he get to do something like this.
