Tars Tarkas posted:I saw reddit chatter that Snyder is also planning director cuts of both films (hilarious since Netflix isn't going to be cutting them, he just will have a longer version) which I guess means they get 4 movies for the price of two (very expensive movies) I remember seeing the rationale from Snyder himself back when that was initially announced. It's because (according to Netflix) a lot of people will happily binge-watch tv shows on Netflix all day but balk at a movie that's more than 2 hours long even if they're cool with binge-watching tv for much longer than that, so the shorter cuts are for that audience.

How the gently caress did Red Notice happen for 200 million dollars? I’ve never seen a bigger nothing of a movie in my whole-rear end life, they could have given that money to David Lynch and humanity would never recover, or to the surviving Polonia Brother, who would make the craziest poo poo you could imagine for the rest of his life. Where did that money go?

Gadot getting a massive payday for that film is probably why she was her most charismatic and human sounding of any of her films in it. Too bad it was wasted on that dreck! edit: My letterbox review said it "felt like a weird tax grift by Netflix more than a film" Jerkface fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Aug 24, 2023 |

I find a lot of the very fake digital set-pieces and the fake one take scene-stitching to be quite distracting and to hurt the movie's overall look, although overall the movies are enjoyeable. For reference, John Wick 3 cost 5 million more than Extraction 2 and looked much better.

Netflix budgets are insane because the actors aren't idiots and know they will get no residuals/box office cut from a streaming only product so they get massive payouts to compensate for that.

Gray Man is fascinating because you can both see how resource rich it is (in its cast, in its locations, in its stunt teams and special effects) and see how incredibly poorly those resources are deployed. You both understand where all the money went (which I do not understand for Red Notice) while also understanding what a colossal waste it was. It's loving Wagnerian in its tragedy.

WBD got their big win for the year so they can afford to shift stuff to next year. Disney's best release this year was GotG3, they're a lot more desperate to get another theater win.

SilentChaz posted:The Hollywood strike claims another one as Dune: Part Two gets moved to 2024: Considering this was originally scheduled to be out in less than 3 months, it is hard to believe there is anything the writers or actors had to do at this point and the only reason they are delaying it is because nobody would be available to promote the movie during the strike and WB is just worried about not making as much money. Also gently caress WB for extending the strike.

Delaying Dune 2 is going to kill the momentum built from the first movie even more and is probably the death knell on Denis getting to make a final Dune movie to cap off Paul's story from the 2nd book. As for the movie production costs discussion, you guys are hitting on why this year has been so uniquely dire for the studios when it comes to flops. Yes, this started in 2022, but 2023 has been disastrous for every studio (except A24, lol) trying to poop out blockbusters, and production costs are almost squarely to blame. A lot of these 'flops' are not even bad movies, and are pulling in what looks like good amounts of money, but because the production costs are so high, the money they need to break even is astronomical and there isn't enough volume of movie-going audiences to give ALL of these movies the money they need. A lot of these flops are even good movies (Mission Impossible), but the studios have been continuously pumping up production costs so high that it's impossible to break even. Fast X made an estimated $704 million and still is a flop because it's production budget was $340 million!!! Little Mermaid was $250 million plus $140 million marketing! So Snyder spending $70 million on his silly Netflix sci-fi movie seems almost tame in comparison.
