I saw the new Pet Sematary movie. I know its a remake but it made more sense in the 80s or whenever the movie was made. Why would you follow your neighbor into deep fog filled woods to bury your dead cat? Also the movie is pretty rear end. Those 18 wheeler's don't even have numbers to call to complain about!

Pet Semetary definitely had the biggest pre-release hype to crickets once released I’ve seen in a while. I barely even saw anyone say it was bad until recently, nobody seemed interested at all after lots of chatter when the trailer dropped.

A significant percentage of IT's popualrity were underaged kids who saw it 2 or 3 times a piece. The local multiplex had to crack down on parents buying tickets and then leaving their kids unchaperoned. I don't know if those same kids are going to give a poo poo about Bill Hader and Jessica Chastain. It's still going to make a lot of money.

IT: Chapter One had a surprisingly tiny budget and absolutely destroyed at the box office due to word of mouth, like every other horror movie that does well. "Overperforming" just means they didn't spend 100 million promoting it like a summer tentpole.

Get the 5-pack Anniversary sets while they're still available. I'd just get the Exploitation ones and skip the porn sets. https://vinegarsyndrome.com/products/5-films-5-years-volume-2 https://vinegarsyndrome.com/products/5-films-5-years-volume-4 e: Oop. Vol 2 is gone.

Alec Guinness in Star Wars, I think. Although he was only half-wrong (not great film but BO smash).

He disliked the final product though and deeply resented that it became his best-known role. But he negotiated a percentage of the gross so it made him a lot of money anyway

By all accounts Tom Hardy didn’t like working on Mad Max: Fury Road and didn’t think it made any sense. Given how much was done in editing it’s understandable. That is not a movie where the director’s vision was obvious on set. edit: aw beaten

TychoCelchuuu posted:I think everyone involved in Pirates of the Caribbean assumed it would be a huge lovely bomb. It was tracking extremely well once the first trailer dropped, but Michael Eisner was convinced it was going to be one of Disney's most expensive flops ever and he infamously threw a tantrum upon seeing the first footage of Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow. Dick Cook had to talk him out of releasing it direct-to-video on multiple occasions.

Before that pirate films were just expected to flop. Probably thanks to Cutthroat Island. A bit like viking films and any film involving Mars.

Speaking of Mars films, John Carter was marketed terribly. The commercials seemed to either think 'less is more' or assumed the audience was super familiar with Edgar Rice Burroughs' stories so we don't need to explain ANYTHING about this film. Looking it up, Disney claims they spent 100 million marketing that film, but I have no idea where. It also ranks 8th on most expensive movies ever made, although this list cannot be accurate. Tangled did not cost more than Avatar or The Avengers to make unless $100 million of that budget went to executive producers and/or the mob. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_films Tangled was really good though.

Something like Tangled could have the costs of a decade or more of production hell built into that budget. I know that's what happened with Superman Returns. And yeah, they let Andrew Stanton be in charge of the marketing for John Carter and, uh... shouldn't have.

Yeah, didn't they completely redo the animation style for Tangled partway through production or something like that? Essentially making the movie twice cant have been cheap.

I don't think it made it to animation but in one of the movie's earlier iterations it was a quasi-sequel to Enchanted. Also, the original director left the movie about two years before it came out (along with the original voice actors) and he'd been working on the movie since the 90s.
