If it happens, I'm sure there will be some Hot Topic knockoffs to make it happen called "Lil' Olden Books" that will be juuust close enough to LGBs to look like them, but just different enough to fall under some sort of unique or parody protection. Suicide Squad* seems like it would have been a good testbed for such a thing. *edit: I take that back. Walking Dead or Breaking Bad should have pioneered this about a year or two ago.

Cowman posted:Lights Out is a fantastic movie first of all, if you like horror you should go see it. Secondly, like you said it had little to no marketing. Finally, it had a budget of $4.9m and according to Box Office Mojo it's made almost $30m worldwide. I'd say that's pretty good especially since it's only been out 3 days and a lot of it is probably going to come from word of mouth more than advertisements. If it's both good and not a remake, then it has no place in this thread.  Go make a thread about it in CineD. Then someone can tell you it's actually terrible because of a distinct lack of poop jokes which means it's actually against class warfare, which is bad.

So Ghostbusters had a 50%+ drop this week, off an opening that was piss poor for a $144m+ marketing tentpole. Overseas it's even worse, it didn't crack the top five, which puts the weekend international take at under Dory's $19m. So, two week total on a film costing all in north of $250m is ~75m domestic and negligible international. Those numbers are going to shrink even further from here on out. So, despite the face saving PR statements and Tumblr math being used to say otherwise, there's no way this film can be considered anything but a failure by those metrics, right? I don't doubt they'll keep making GB stuff of some kind but Feig and co. have to be out.

That's the two weekend totals, the full domestic gross is $86m, with a worldwide gross of $122m. And a 50%+ drop off for the second weekend is pretty standard, Deadpool dropped -57.4% for its second weekend, X-Men: Apocalypse dropped -65.3% and Batman v Superman dropped -69.1%,

Ghostbusters cost around as much as Gods of Egypt and The Huntsman: Winter's War and looks to be on track to have a total box office near the same. And those two movies have been deemed bombs by the press.

They made more internationally but they had theatre runs of 10+ weeks and Ghostbusters has only been out 10 days.

I think GB is MAYBE going to have some legs for a while if only because it feels like the word of mouth might end up being that, despite fart jokes, dick blasting, sexy Kevin, and ghostboobs, it's a fairly non-sexualized film that you can take the kids to and not worry about anything. That sounds like that's quite a bit, but by comparison there's no horny DanaZuul, no BJ ghost scene, no really scantly clad women moments, no bubbled wrap Gozer. It's cartoonish as to almost be inoffensive. I noticed a LOT of families in my screening today. The DVD edit feels like it's got to be better, though, because there's so many sudden movements in the plot that it feels like a lot of this film is missing.

It has already lost its legs, though. Has there ever been an example of a blockbuster film re-bounding after an initial failure to bring back its budget later? It's not going to be a disaster like Carter or Gods of Egypt, but very few things are. It's going to be a somewhat underperforming film, maybe on par with Terminator Salvation (barely pay for studio costs, leads to scrapping the franchise), maybe a bit worse.

steinrokkan posted:It has already lost its legs, though. Has there ever been an example of a blockbuster film re-bounding after an initial failure to bring back its budget later? I guess the number of screens after this week will determine, though. It won't be a huge hit, but at this rate it will possibly just break the GB2 domestic in about another 11 days if it can hold on that long and stay in the top ten. For comparisons sake, it took GB2 nearly 3 weeks to make about the same amount that GB2016 has made in only 10. My guess is that by next weekend it will break $100M. True, it's a much different metric of cost, prices, etc. in the last 27 years but if it can break the GB2 domestic that will be quite the feather in the hat of the reboot. Once the final tally of all the international markets are finally accumulated, it could maybe do about $180M total global. GB being on week 2 will probably be starting its slide off of screens this Thursday, but I can see it staying in the top 10 through at least mid August where it's still going to make at least about $250-500K a day given how other movies in the top 10 have been performing this Summer.

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet but that new Ben Affleck movie, The Accountant, is basically a rewrite of the original Good Will Hunting script where super-genius Will Hunting gets recruited by the CIA to be a super spy or whatever their original screenplay was before it got shredded and rewritten. So, it's kind of like a reboot in that they're trying to make Good Will Hunting, but for serious this time.

steinrokkan posted:It has already lost its legs, though. Has there ever been an example of a blockbuster film re-bounding after an initial failure to bring back its budget later? We're only on day 10 of GB16's run and it's already made $86m domestically, which is 60% of its production budget. John Carter had only made $53m on its 10th day (21% of its production budget) and Gods of Egypt had only made $23m (16% of production budget). Terminator Salvation was ahead of GB16 by day 10 with a cumulative domestic gross of $90m but it was also a much more expensive movie so that was only 45% of its production budget. For comparison, TMNT: Out Of The Shadows was at $60m (44% of production budget), ID42 was at $72m (43% of production budget), Batman v Superman and Captain America: Civil War were both slightly past 100% and Deadpool was past 400%. So GB16 isn't a runaway success but it's doing better than a bunch of recent films. Funnily enough the closest recent film I could find was Mad Max: Fury Road which had a $150m budget and made $88m by day 10 (59% of production budget) which is almost exactly the same as GB16. It ended up just making slightly more than its production budget domestically and about one and a half times that internationally even though it didn't get a release in China. tl;dr: it'll maybe make it's money back domestically so it technically won't be a flop but it's also nowhere near a runaway success.

On the other hand GB2's production budget was only a quarter of GB2016's and if you adjust GB2's box office gross for inflation it comes out to about $243m in today's money and GB16 will fall wayyyyyyy short of that.

I wonder if it was Fieg or the studio who cut the dance number and how did Fieg feel about it? Because I'm reminded of an anecdote about Red Dwarf 10 where there's a big dance number and everyone loving hated it but the cast and crew involved put their hearts and souls into it and they were kinda crushed that people reacted to it so poorly.

Reboot Willow. Have generic techno-metal blasting and those speed-up-slow-down bits during the entirety of every fight. Throw in as much swearing as PG-13 will let you get away with. (I think that's one gently caress, a couple shits, a few damns and probably handful of dicks.) Make all of the supernatural elements clearly the result of sleight-of-hand and stage magic and doggedly point out that the queen is an illegitimate ruler so we can hopefully squeeze this one into China with minimal effort. Oh yeah, instead of played out hobbits or whatever, the heroes are just a couple bland white actors with fake accents. Sorcia needs gigantic tits and no speaking parts.
