How exactly does the scam work in the new Saw? The trailer made it seem a bit elaborate to be just rip him off for a bunch of money. The wiki summary doesn’t make it very clear either.

Alan Smithee posted:Prefacing that I want this to be good It Follows is one of my favorite horror movies from the past decade. Maybe my top of the past decade. I also really love Under the Silver Lake, I thought that's one of the only movies to really 'get' the conspiracy theory mindset. Really hope this is good. Also hope that it doesn't go with the sequel idea from years ago of the characters trying to find the original victim of the creature, that seems like a route that would just get bogged down in lore and unveiling too much of the mystery.

It was and still is very popular among young kids. I don't think most FNAF fans even know about the politics of the creator. I doubt there are empty theaters for them to even buy.

Feldegast42 posted:I'm gonna be the She's always been big, but she's turned an unfavourable situation into an unprecedented marketing strategy that has worked far beyond her wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha. Somewhere just after recording her 6th album Reputation, she left the record label Big Machine and joined another one where she had more creative and IP control. Big Machine was subsequently bought by Scooter Braun in 2019, which meant that Braun holds the rights to her recordings in those 6 albums. She had had some run-ins with Braun (there's some allegation that he was partially responsible for her beef with Kanye West and the Kardishans) and she also discovered his purchase of those recordings meant that he would reap all profit from any replay of those songs. Braun's VC company offered her a deal where she would get ownership of those 6 earlier albums if she recorded 6 more new albums for them, which she rejected then publicly revealed to all her fans. Arising from that she announced that she was going to take ownership of her songs by producing new versions of the 6 albums with "Taylor's version" attached to the titles, promising better production value, better vocals and also a more mature approach to the songs. So far she has reached the 5th album 1989 and all the fans have been eating all these up like crazy, critically some of them are actually better (including a much longer version of a song that revealed Jake Gyllenheal was the ex she was writing about in the original) but overall they are largely the same but with tighter production. She also call each of these albums specific "eras" because they were supposedly so different from each other, which is arguable, but also fans ate the poo poo out of all this. It also made sense for companies to use the "Taylor's version" songs because of their higher production value and did you really want to piss off one of the biggest pop stars in the world. They actually chose to wait for a Taylor's Version to be released before they use her songs for advertising. Braun has recently revealed he regretted the purchase but he still made some clean profit of a few hundred millions, and everyone has been treating this as a win of a singer against the goliath of PE/VC investment firms coldly purchasing recordings to gently caress over artists. This is still Taylor though, she's one of the most calculative businesswomen and entrepreneurs in the world and she absolutely knew the risks and rewards she could reap out of what could be a lifelong legal nightmare that has plagued musicians before her. Anyway stream 1989 Taylor's Version right now.

Also studios pushing around their movies because of the strike meant she was able to release her concert film into theaters at a time when people don't have much other reason to go to the theater. I'm sure record labels have learned from the "Taylors version" situation and are now writing into contracts that their artists can't just re-record their songs to regain some ownership of them. But lets not forget the most important thing , Taylor Swift was in the movie Cats (2019). And her current success is just the waves from that catching up to her.

There’s also a weird part where TS’ father (a very wealthy man) may have had the option to buy the catalogue and passed on it. Scooter is no doubt a scumbag but there’s more to it than “poor Taylor” imo

I wondered about the success of a concert movie, then read about a mom taking her young daughter and friends to see it, and realized it's a far more viable option than taking your kids to an actual concert.

Not to mention tickets for the Eras tour are very expensive, and sold out INCREDIBLY early (with one presale being so botched by Ticketmaster that Congress almost got involved), so for millions of people this is the next best thing.

FlamingLiberal posted:I think it's less impactful for horror movies At this point it’s completely sporadic whether or not a film does well in theaters if it also came out on streaming same day to the degree that you can’t just point to it and blame it for financial woes. Dune, Godzilla vs Kong, Halloween Kills and Ends, and Mortal Kombat all came out on streaming the same day and did well (relative to other movies at the time) at the box office, and as we’ve seen lately, the entire theatrical box office is in a slump right now. At this point I’m starting to believe that the idea that simultaneous streaming releases kill box office exists because it’s what The Suicide Squad bombing got blamed on despite the million other factors as to why that movie flopped.

The other thing with Taylor Swift is that she had gotten into a pattern of doing a world tour for each album she released. But due to Covid, the last tour was Reputation in 2018. (There was supposed to be a Lover tour in 2020 that no one will ever see.) She also increased her release rate so there were four pretty diverse albums since Reputation. So lots of pent up demand, lots of songs she had never toured on.

Ccs posted:Also studios pushing around their movies because of the strike meant she was able to release her concert film into theaters at a time when people don't have much other reason to go to the theater. There actually were movies lined up for the weekend of the concert movie. Exorcist Believer moved up a week to clear a path because presale tickets for the concert movie were absolutely nuts. Also, Taylor did have a "you cannot re-record your albums" clause in her contract because copyright for music is more author focused so you can't be locked out indefinitely. The problem is before the standard was like 5 years because it was a loser to do. To make it work, you either needed to self-finance or get a different studio to back you, both of these are extensively expensive propositions. Then on top of that you'd need to get your fans to actually buy the new album (or in new media's case, stream only the new version). And from there, you'd still be screwed because the older versions still exist and if someone wants to use the song, they now have 2 competing sources that can be pit against each other for a much lower rate. Then Taylor actually loving did it. I think her first re-record did ok but it was definitely seen as a novelty and streams were split pretty evenly between the two albums but it's definitely shifted progressively more towards Taylor's version as fans have stuck with her and gotten more on board with each subsequent album. To get back to the original point, after Taylor basically went scorched earth with fan backing, studios have heavily increased the time limit for when you can re-record in new artist contracts.

I believe she also made (in the US at least) a distribution deal with AMC directly to show the tour film in cinemas, as regular distributors wanted too much of a cut - so she got more money out of it, and AMC also got a much larger share than they do for a regular film.
