The Shay would pay half of his East European fortune to watch Rian Pooper Johnson and The Frenchie here battle it out in a ring of fire...

 

Whoever loses - we win!!

Massive Flop

[The Futurist]

How many more millions of dollars Dennis will loose for studios before he realizes movies are made for audiences and not critics and cinephile circles ?

Can he mature to that point ?

Does he even want to ?

Eh...his profitable film ratio isn't that bad with his English language films. Sicario, Arrival, and Prisoners probably turned a profit. Obviously Enemy and BR 2049 didn't, but let's not act like his brand of films prior were consistently flopping.

True.

I am just wondering if a movie studio will bet 150-200m on him again with the same mindset.

We ll see if Dune happens.

Maybe that makes him the perfect director for a Netflix blockbuster which seemingly doesn't care about burning away some money but could use some better quality films overall.

 

I'm not personally convinced Dune happens though he seems to still be under the assumption that nothing has changed. But the failure of BR 2049 wasn't just the fact that he made a slow paced meditative film, it opened poorly too, which indicates the name really didn't have as much clout as Alcon and WB were expecting. That still probably remains a problem with Dune however.

Funny how this movie persuades casuals and peasants of filmmaking that a long scene is automatically because well, it s long.

So It s Deep, it 's ART.

You know.

Guys like the Berg, De Palma, Scorcese, Coppola would laugh at this mere idea.

And yet, here we are.

To mistake careful attention to visual fidelity as pretentious art is pretty much the thesis for Hollywood short funding time vs. budget. Congrats, you're an idiot.

[Mr Impossible]

I don't care how much the new Dune movie makes I just want it to be made.

If I followed that production correctly, no movie studio ever did bet 150-200m on him thought, and probably would never have. It was funded outside the studios, it took a bunch of people throwing their Blind Side profit money on him.

Do you believe he does not know that and that it is not what he is trying to do ?

Congratulations on winning the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, obviously deserved.

[Captain Craig]

Will these Oscar nods get the film into a few more theaters? If so how many screens would be needed with enough interest to boost the film over $100m? It's 8m away now. 

Total stands at $92m and is only playing on 124 screens.

Ah, what a rare display of intelligence we have here. A director with a vision who has yet to make a bad movie, makes a high profile sequel to a 30 year old movie ( that also flopped then ) and the movie loses the studio money. Let's jump at the director's throat and even go as far as saying he has to " mature." Truly, your statement presents no flaw whatsoever.

It's too late for that. Maybe Blu-Ray and rental sales go up though

I would love for it to win Best Cinematography, don't really care about the other nods. Deakins deserves it wholeheartedly.

I don't think there is any chance of making that kind of money.

 

The movie was nominated for a bunch of technical categories, those aren't quite as important as the main ones in terms of gaining attention.

It's way too late in the run to make a difference anyway. Arrival, which was nominated for 8 Oscars, including best picture, added over 1,000 theaters for the next weekend (from 180 to 1221) and jumped from 321k to 1.4m again, which allowed the movie to finish with 100.5m instead of 96 or 97m, but that movie started one month later than BR2049, and it got nominations in the core categories instead of just some technical ones.

Oscar nods outside best picture usually does not make theater give you screen, specially for a movie out of home video.

 

you can look at a couple of year, even for those getting in best picture:

MadMax didn't get any tracked box office (edit: apparently only 450k or so, http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=madmaxfuryroadbc.htm), The Martian only 2.2M

 

8m post nominations for movie out on home video would be huge and more for a best picture winners.

Not sure I fully agree, it was super bold and showy (no one watching that movie does not remark it), and it was just Oscar, critics circle and guild nominated (Delbonnel is a 5th time Oscar nominee).
