FlamingLiberal posted:$300+ mil for a movie that doesn’t need to exist We're pretty much at that point where the movie is now 25 years old and you kinda have to remind people what it was to get them interested in a sequel. I'm sure there are a ton of people under 30 who never saw Gladiator and maybe vaguely remember that it was a Russell Crowe movie from their childhood but that's about it. Which just reinforces your point that the movie doesn't need to exist and if they're treating it like some sort of Star Wars-level nostalgia trip they're probably going to be very disappointed with the box office returns.

I mean, I'm basically the perfect target audience for a Gladiator 2 and I don't care about it beyond a "yeah, maybe, if I can be bothered".

The first Gladiator only made $450 million. The most any of Ridley's historical epics have made since then is $300 million (Robin Hood), with the average being about $200 million.

Gladiator was definitely a hit($450 mil is still over $800 mil adjusted for inflation), but a lot of it's pop culture impact was I think related to DVD, because it came out right when DVD hit the scene. Gladiator and The Matrix were like the two big DVDs that everyone needed to have, kinda like what Ghostbusters and Beverly Hills Cop were to the VHS era.

AceOfFlames posted:Apparently some people with BTS knowledge have claimed that Joker 2 has some massive elaborate sequences involving dozens of extras, like old school musicals used to have. If that's the reason this thing is so expensive then worth it, IMHO. Yeah that does sound good. Maybe licensing songs is expensive too.

The actual Roman Colliseum cost about 670 million to 1.5 billion, adjusted for inflation. With modern construction equipment you could probably build it for 300 million.

The Saddest Rhino posted:Yeah Rowling being problematic doesn't lose purchased seats, people are interested in the magical world stuff and not who wrote them, unless they just suck. The second film was terrible and despite them casting doe the third fimn mads mikkelsen, a surefire way of attracting people, people remembered how badly the second film ended and just couldn't be bothered. The video game was heavily criticised for its storyline and gameplay, yet it was still a massive bestseller last year (although I suspect there won't be a sequel, what with the bad shape the game industry is in now, and that it lost most of its player base) because a 3d magic school game is an inherently attractive concept. The funny thing with the game is I'm pretty sure the complains are less about culture war stuff and more that it's basically literally just another Ubisoft sandbox because that's the default setting for Video Game now, the only thing western publishers know how to make or think people want, instead of being Harry Persona or literally anything that'd actually be more fitting to the genre.

Alan Smithee posted:Or Tyler Perry has always been a cheap person, so it doesn't surprise me he'd go for this. I've seen Sora's examples on Twitter and their indistinguishable from stock footage, EXCEPT that it's badly composited with elements disappearing and dropping in. Unless you're going for that ghostly, dreamlike look, something a talented vfx team and editor can do anyway, it's completely worthless for filmmaking. Also, studios have done virtual location shooting for a good two decades already, with the primary actors and foreground on a green screen set and the background filmed separately. It allows for a certain amount of control in shot placement that AI isn't going to give you. I'm thinking Perry's talk of already using AI is him either confusing VFX or exaggerating an existing filmmaking tech as AI. The latter seems to be pretty common hyping up.

There are multiple people on social media saying that they have clean copies of Coyote vs Acme and will release it if WB trashes the movie. Although this obviously needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

It seems that the big difference between the two is Batgirl still needed more work done while it sounds like Coyote vs Acme was completely finished.

That and the Coyote vs Acme people probably learned to keep backups saved locally. Two hours before the Batgirl announcement WB had IT go in and remove all copies from the shared drives.

WB has also been shopping Coyote vs. Acme around so I assume that there are going to be more copies around than Batgirl ever had

One of the reasons Warner Bros must be so reluctant to have the film released at this point is that the press tour is going to become all about their actions, and the bad publicity of that will be compounded if the film is a hit. It's not a good look now, but at least the normies don't know yet.
